GDT Unik Hobby December

Hei!

GDT-bidraget for desember til Unik hobby kommer litt sent...men bedre sent, enn aldri, sant?

Jeg hadde lyst til å lage noe helt "nytt", og noe som kunne gis bort som en liten gave.

Da plutselig kom jeg på hvordan bestefar lærte meg å flette neverkurver, da jeg var ei lita jente - og slik ble prosjektet mitt til en flettet papir-kurv :)

Hi!

My GDT contribution for December at Unik Hobby, comes a bit late...but better late, than never, right? 

I wanted to make something "new", and something that could be given away as a present.

 Then I suddenly remembered that my grandfather tought me how to braid a basket of birch bark when I was a little girl - and then my project became a braided paper-basket :)

Motivet fra Ladybug & Friends, er fargelagt med Distress Ink refiller, cuttet ut med Spellbinders Nestabilities Petite Ovals, og montert som en tag på kurven, med gullfarget bånd.

The image from Ladybug & Friends, is colured with Distress Ink refills, cut out with Spellbinders Nestabilities Petite Ovals, and mounted as a tag on the basket with a gold ribbon.

Papirene er fra Ladybug & Friends' julekolleksjon "Julefryd" og heter "Juleglede" og "Englesang".

Jeg har brukt Martha Stewart - Edge Punch Doily Lace til å lage borden rundt på kurven, og den nye MS-punchen Deep Edge Doily Lace til å lage hanken.

Borden og hanken er pyntet opp med bittesmå brune perler fra Kort & Godt.

The papers are from Ladybug & Friends as well, from the "Julefryd" Collection, and are called "Juleglede" and "Englesang". I've used the Martha Stewart - Edge Punch Doily Lace around the basket, and the new Deep Edge Punch Doily Lace as the handle.

I've embellished the laces with tiny brown pearls from Kort & Godt.

Rundt borden på kurven har jeg festet et mørkerødt bånd, knyttet en sløyfe, og festet en nydelig engel-charm.

Around the basket, I've tied a dark red ribbon, made a bow, and fastened a beautiful angel-charm in it.

For å pynte kurven litt ekstra, har jeg festet hvite roser, svertet med litt Distress Ink - Walnut Stain, og blader stanset ut med en punch fra EKSuksess, i hjørnene.

For a little bit more decoration, I've used white roses dabbed with Distress Ink - Walnut Stain, and leaf punched out with a EKSuksess Punch, on the corners of the basket.

Håper kurven min - for anledningen fyllt med te - kan være til litt inspirasjon og glede for dere også!

Hope you liked my basket - for now; filled with teabags!

Have a great day!

Hugs, Lena Katrine

♥♥♥♥♥

Oh, I almost forgot...I've got 3 more awards :)

Thank you so much Bendichte, Kaia and Astrid for thinking of  me, your sweet words and all the inspiration you give me! The award goes right back to you!!

But of course, I'm gonna give the award to 3 new people who deserves it too - Camilla, Nina and Yvonne!

Thank you so much for all the inspiration you give me, through your beautiful creations and your sweet comments about my crafting!

To read the 7 facts about me - just take a peek at the post below :)

Pay it Forward & Awards

One day I visited Monica's blog, I red about a Pay it forward exchange... I signed up immediately - just because I like to make others happy ;)



Shortly about PIF:
The whole thing started with the movie "Pay it forward". The rolemodel of Haley Joel Osment, gives a great deed to another person. The only attach to the one who recives it, is that he/her has to promise to give something that matters to others. A simple demand, that may not be as simple that it sounds? Someone has now taken this principle further, and made it into a gift. The rules are simple - everyone can join, and only 3 rules have to be fulfilled:
1. You must have your own blog, so that you can spread the message.
2. You must like to make others happy.
3. You must ship your 3 gifts within the next 365 days.

I've already given away two gifts - A thank you gift for Kirsten, and a surprise birthday gift for Kim. The third is a surprise birthday gift for a great blogging friend - Ida!

Vær vennlig og gi litt ekstra oppmerksomhet til disse. Gi denne awarden til åtte bloggere som igjen må velge seg nye åtte. Inkluder denne teksten i overskriften på awarden deres".

Denne awarden fikk jeg i "bursdagsgave" av Inger - tusen, tusen takk kjære blogger-venn!

Ikke alltid lett å finne ut hvem man skal sende slike awarder videre til, så denne gangen sender jeg den videre til alle dere som er innom bloggen min - tusen takk for all inspirasjon og koselige kommentarer!

Sommerfugl på vei i vintermørket ;o)

I går mottok jeg denne kjempekoselige overaskelsen fra supersøte, kreative Camilla!
Jeg elsker sommerfugler, og denne awarden er jo bare helt nydelig - så tusen, tusen takk Camilla ;o) Jeg sender den i retur med en gang!!

The terms are:
1. Pick ten people and pass this award to them.
2. Then contact them and let them know you have chosen them and their blog for the award.
3. Also link back to the person who gave you this award.

Så da skal jeg altså gi denne videre til 10 personer... Jeg ser at noen av de jeg vil gi denne awarden til, allerede har mottatt denne awarden fra andre, men...
Jeg gir den uansett videre, til dem jeg har mest lyst til å gi den til - til noen av de som inspirerer meg, både som kreative stempelscrappere - og som personer!
I'll pass this award to someone who inpires me - both as a stamping scrapper, as well as a person!

Så kjære/So dear; Kirsten, Åshild, Anita H., Annie, Maria, Anita T., Elsi, Maya, Hilde, Katharina, Aija og Bibbi - denne vakre sommerfuglen sendes igjen ut i vintermørket, for å finne en lun og god plass å overvintre på, hos hver og en av dere!
I'm sending this beautiful butterfly into the winterdark, so it can find a nice and warm place to stay at your's, over the winter!

Ny Award!

Juuhuuu! Denne flotte awarden har jeg fått av søte, snille, kreative og inspirerende Evy-Kristin! Tusen takk, snille du, du er selfølgelig den første som får den fra meg :o) Ta en kikk i bloggen til Evy-Kristin, og bli inspirert dere også!

Ettersom det ikke ser ut til å være noen begrensniger/krav til hvor mange man skal sende denne videre til, sender jeg den videre til: Maria, Gunn Hege, Lillian, Inger G., Elsi, Desiree, Vyanmica, Elisabeth, Hilde, og Beata Ewa! Tusen takk alle sammen for at dere lyser opp hverdagen min, både med kreativ inspirasjon og hyggelige hilsner i bloggen min! Go'klem fra meg ;o)

En award til ;o)

Denne har jeg fått fra Kirsten - en utrolig dyktig papirkunstner, som inspirerer i bøtter og spann!


The rules are:
1. The winner can put the logo on their blog.
2. Link the person you received your award from.
3. Nominate at least 5 other blogs.
4. Before listing the nominees give a brief reason why you chose them.
5. Put links of those blogs on yours.
6. Leave a message on the blogs you have nominated.

Først og fremst sender jeg denne rett tilbake til Kirsten, fordi hun gir meg masse inspirasjon gjennom sine nydelige kreasjoner.
Deretter vil jeg gi den videre til hver og en av DT-kollegaene mine, Åshild, Annie, Eli og Anita, fordi så utrolig kreative og dyktige damer ville ha med nettopp meg på laget.
Marte og Camilla får den, ikke bare fordi de er flinke og kreative, men også hjelpsomme ;o)
Kristine får den, fordi hun har de mest fantastiske fotografiene jeg noen gang har sett!
Gunhild - Fordi jeg (og sikkert halve verden) elsker stemplene hennes, og mulighetene de gir meg innen min lidenskap:)
Til slutt vil jeg gi den videre til Aija (because she makes beautiful creations, and because she always leaves a nice comment or two in my blogg), fordi hun lager de nydeligste blikkfang, og fordi hun stadig legger igjen hyggelige kommentarer til meg!
Og tusen takk til dere alle sammen, for at dere kikker innom bloggen min!

Jeg har fått en Award!! Og sender den videre til...

Kom tilbake i ettermiddag, etter å ha fulgt en overnervøs og livredd svigermor til tannlegen, rimelig sliten og trøtt og lei...kikket i bloggen min - og hva lå det der?
Jo, en AWARD fra min nye søte, snille, kreative og dyktige bloggvenn Camilla! Så nå blir det mye lettere å gå på jobb om en time likevel! Tusen, tusen takk Camilla:o)

Jeg er imidlertid så fersk på denne bloggingen enda, at jeg ikke helt vet hva jeg skal foreta meg nå...men tror jeg har skjønt, at man skal sende awarden videre til 5 andre personer. Jeg har lyst til å sende den videre til alle mine nye vennskapelige inspirasjonskilder i bloggerverden - fordi dere gir så mye av dere selv! Men i denne omgang gir jeg awarden videre til de 5 personene, som har vært flest ganger innom bloggen min, og lagt igjen spor etter seg - noe jeg setter utrolig stor pris på! Camilla (du er selfølgelig selvskreven til denne, søta!), Maya, Marianne, Beate, og Daniel. I tillegg er dere alle 5 utrolig dyktige, dere har hver og en en særegen stil, og dere gir meg masse inspirasjon! Tusen takk :o)
