Cupcake corner bookmark

Hi there.. I am back with another corner bookmark. I just love the versatility of this bookmark.. Made this one for my colleague´s daughter who loves reading.
The wording in Swedish says "Great girl" or direct translation "Awesome Girl".. The cupcake dies is from the Papercraft collections.
I used the same paper on the envelope as well.. Thank you for dropping by. Have a great evening!

Gatefold card nr 2


Hiya there.. I am back with another gatefold card.. It's a great way to use up those paper scraps that you might have lying around. It's also a great style to use when making masculine cards, especially if you don't have a great image to work with. Patterned paper & a medium to large size sentiment works wonderfully!

Gatefold card


Ah.. finally.. I´ve never tried a gate-fold card before,, so when I got these cards from the Hobbycraft store in London, I just had to give it a go. All I needed to do was to dress it up with nice papers and my birdie die with a warm hello. Walla!! I think I am gonna go and make another one :-)

Page corner bookmark

Hi! Today I am going to share with you how to make a corner bookmark. I must confess that this is the first time I've ever made one but I wanted to try something new and exciting to share with you. They are so simple to make and look really nice... great for quick gifts too!! 

What fun to have a bookmark that doesn’t slip down inside the page or, worse, fall out the minute you pick the book up off the table! Here is the link where I learnt how to make it. Let your imagination fly to create beautiful bookmarks for you or to give away. Your creativity will flourish, your scrap paper stash will diminish, and your books will look in style! Have a great evening!

Glass Painting


While in London, I had a taste of glass painting introduced by a friend, Indi. As far as I am concerned I am drown with  anything that is created with own hands. So, when I got home, went to Panduro Hobby to get some glass paint, brushes and some peel-off stencils. Got these candle-holder glasses at one of the second hand stores as a bargain. Came home and sat with my daughter and we made a candle-holder each. This is the result :-)

I love butterflies so when I saw these peel-off, I just couldn´t resist.




My daughter, Harjeevan chose these and coloured it. She is very content with it and so am I :-)
......and walla!!! This is how it looks like when lighted. We were  both so excited. I am already hooked to it. Am saving and recyling all jam jars now for more glass painting :-) Have a lovely afternoon!

My new magazine

Hiya there!! I am back from vacation actually a week ago... but needed to recover from vacation.. :-)
Had a great one in London... London you may ask? Yes, we came home day after the riot started. We are thankful that we did not get caught up in the riot and the same time am thankful to God for taking care of our loved ones in UK.

Besides that, I have not been in a creative mood at all.. Been too tired, after work, taking care of the chores etc. etc and the next thing you know, it is already past midnight. Anyways, TGIF and this weekend am planning to be creative along with my little princess. Lets see what we come up with. :-)

I just got this magazine at the local newspaper shop. It is completely new from Australia. Can't wait to get home and after dinner just sway away in my own world browsing through this magazine for inspiration. Have a great weekend ye all. God bless!!
