Simon Says Stamp: Stencil Fun!

Today I made a card for the new challenge this week

on the Simon Says Monday Blog.

The theme this week is: Stencil Fun.

These are the attributes for my card:

a stencil

distress oxide ink and applicators

digital images by Create with TLC

I started creating the background of the card

with the knitting stencil by Stampin'Up!,

walnut stain and fossilized amber distress oxide ink.

I printed the image (a page with knitting instruction)

and decorated this also with the stencil.

The sentiment is printed and  punched out.

For decoration I knitted a tiny piece with

embroidery thread and used toothpicks on the

card as needles. The knittingwork is added

on the card with foam tape. I also added a lovely 

flower as decoration on top of the sentiment.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Sketch Saturday: FMS 269 and knitting

Here I am with another sketch card rom the

FMS blog. I wanted to make a happy card and I used

Michael Strong's Fiona's Flock rubber stamps

and sentiments by Stampin'Up!

 The images are colored with pencil.

This is the sketch on the

Freshly Made Sketches Blog.

Now here is the finished knitting I shared 

with you yesterday. For this woven cowl I used a Dutch

pattern, that I found here. 

Now for an English version I searche high and low

and found this here.

It is such a nice and warm cowl and with the

cold weather today I enjoy wearing it.

I used 2 balls of wool from a shop called Zeeman.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Scrapping and knitting

I have been seeing people altering there planners

last year, so this year I want to do that too.

Isn't my new planner a delicious coffee color?

It is A5 size and now what to do?!

I found some classes for free on 

scrapbook.com

that are so easy to follow and give you some simple

beginners ideas. You have to log in (for free) and

find classes for free to follow.

See the header classes and choose organisation.

this is were you find different planner classes.

Here is my first devider page with

Club Scrap Shades of Winter papers.

I guess you also see that fun coffee clip.

That was a gift in the December coffeecardlist swap,

so I cannot tell you the brand.

I used the original page for size

and my envelop punchboard to make the tabs.

An inch strip was left over and I decorated this

with one of the rubber stamps from the 

Shades of winter stamps. The sentiment on top is

 one of the cut aparts from this kit.

I cut two 2,5 x 3,5 pieces of ivory paper for decoration.

I attached tem with washi tape from my stash.

I saw this fun way of journaling in one of the lessons.

My idea is to use each months kit for that month,

this one is just for trying. I like iot!

I am sure you are going to see more pages

in my planner.

Today I also have been knitting, it is getting cold.

So how about a scraf? A neutral color, so it

fits in with all my clothes.

I am nearly done, Will share tomorrow

and also where I found the pattern.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!
