Minnie Mouse Ears

I made some special Minnie Mouse ears for a very lovely and special lady

When going to Disneyland Paris, Jane  couldn't find any ears which fitted her. She was so disappointed that I had to make her some. Doesn't she look absolutely lovely and amazing?

Wishing you a happy Monday, Petra.

Jewellery - Christmas Ornament

This is my second piece I made in the silversmithing workshop, a Christmas ornament with silver wire, silver plate and fabric bead

the individual elements I made from silver are:

star, domes to cover top and bottom of bead, hanger

The fabric bead I bought a very very long time ago and I thought this is the occasion to show it off.

Happy Sunday, Petra.

Lunagirl - Winter Wonderland

Still waiting for snow, the weather is just very wet and drizzly and grey (sigh). But it feels very much like Christmas at work as we are having our Christmas lunch today and everybody is very merry after having had a few drinks (lol). To feel at least a little bit wintery I created my second project for the Lunagirl Moonbeams challenge using one of the adorable snow angels

I loved creating this tag. To create the base I dry embossed a plain tag and covered it with treasure gold (gold and sapphire). 

A little stamping was added with Lynne Perrella stamps and archival ink.

The middle part is die-cut paper from Finnabair, the edges distressed with Treasure Gold.

I then added the delightful angel, some little blings and a little lacey bow.

Hope you can join our challenge, happy crafting, Petra.

Lunagirl - Snow Angel

I wouldn't mind having some nice sparkling snow and sunshine instead of serious wet foggy patches (sigh) This afternoon the fog was quite thick and somehow worrying .... well, instead of th real snow I enjoyed myself with wonderful snow angel images from Lunagirl Moonbeams for the current challenge: Snow Angels.

 

The base is a delicate doily, I added a snowflake die-cut from recycled corrugated card distressed with distress ink around the edges. In the centre of the snowflake is a rosette made from Kaisercraft paper, the edges are also distressed with distress ink and a little Stickles. I added the snow angel with golden wings and a little sparkly candle. The final touch is a delicate organza flower with a little bling in the middle.

Hope you can join us for the challenge. You will find more fabulous inspiration on the Lunagirl Moonbeams blog. Thank you for popping over, Petra.

Cheerful Monday #38 - Signs of Christmas

Yes, the signs of Christmas are now truly everywhere and everybody seems to be already so busy with Christmas preparations, presents, lunches, ...... despite all this huzzle and buzzle I so love this time of the year. It is so full of secrets, of wonderful smells of Christmas cookies and mulled wine and Christmas trees. So Vicki's new challenge fits so wonderfully into this time of the year: signs of christmas.
I created a little snowflake ornament for my Christmas tree

 

The focal point is a wonderful Santa image from Vintage Image Craft edged with some Stickles. It is layered on some die-cut patterend paper from Teresa Collins and a die-cut snowflake. The snowflake is entirely glittered with Stickles. I think there can never be enough sparkle around Christmas (lol). A little stamped sentiment (Elzybells) and a little dotted bow are the final touches.

For more fabulous inspiration, please visit the Cheerful Stamp Pad blog, hope you can join  us for the challenge, Petra.

Lunagirl - Retro Gals

Those were the days when women knew exactly where their place was ..... in the kitchen, behind the oven, in front of the fridge, at the washing machine ... good old times (LOL) .....
I created these three mini cards (10 x 10 cm) for the current Lunagirl challenge: Retro Gals. I used images from the  Retro Housewives collage sheet which I layered on old calendar images. I found the sayings on the web and I thought they fit perfectly.
It was great fun making these little cards, hope you have as much fun joining us for the challenge. Have a great weekend, Petra.

Birthday Box for a special little present

 I created this little birthday box for today's new challenge over at Crafting by Designs:  Anything Goes with a Lunagirl Birthday Twist and I feel very honoured to be a guest designer for this challenge.

The box is covered with October Afternoon papers,

the edges embellished with Rose organza ribbon.

 

 The top of the box is decorated with an adorable image from the Birthday Cards with Children collage sheet from Lunagirl MoonBeams,

some delicate lace, little half-pearls and a stamped sentiment (Elzybells).

Please do pop over to Crafting by Desings, the inspiration from the artists is fabulous. Hope to can join  the challenge, Petra.
