Inger sine løse tråder samlet i 3 utfordringer :)

Inger er fremdeles svigerinna mi, og i tillegg til at hun er søt & snill, er hun også glad i å sy. Det er bare det at hun ikke har så mye tid til denslags nå, fordi hun har så mye annet å henge fingrene i. Derfor tenkte jeg at hun kunne få en liten bok til bursdagen sin, der hun kan samle noen av sine løse tråder :) Hun er nemlig flink til å ta vare på små ting som betyr noe; dikt, tegninger, bilder, utklipp... sånne ting. Jeg fikk idéen til dette da jeg så dette flotte stempelet, som jeg har lånt av Turid på Penelope - tusen takk!
I've decorated a little album for Inger, my sister-in-law, using Laura's sketch at 2Sketches4You. Inger likes sewing, but she seldom has time to comfort herself with quilting at the time. Therefore I made a book where she can gather up some of her loose threads; pictures, poems, drawings, cuttings... that kind of stuff :) I got the idea as I found this Penny Black stamp, and this book is definately for a girl, so I think I'll join in for the PB challenge this week as well. And finally - ta'daaa - there's a new challenge I was SO happy to find as I visited my friend Dawn; Basic Grey Challenge! I use BG papers a lot, and at this one the 'Stella Ruby' paper was just perfect. This first week the challenge is to use buttons! How suitable :)

Små barn har i en periode sååå stor glede av å kaste ting ned fra oven, og jeg syntes det så ut som om det var akkurat det denne musa holdt på med :)
It's a gorgeous stamp! At the one side there's a little mouse throwing buttons down, just like small kids love to do in a period of their childhood :)

At the other side three mice are helping each other with threading the sewing machine :) I've sewed the seam at the pink "stuff" with my sewing machine. Close-up from the pile of buttons, with a new kind of heart from Kort&Godt :)
And look at this brad! A sewing machine!
The plate was originally veeery white, so I painted it with acrylic paint, then sponged it with Distress Ink 'worn lipstick' and finally embossed it with white and silver powder. Have a nice day, everyone! Take care :)
