Challenge #25 Summer at Marianne`s Design Divas

Hey everyone!

Sorry i`m late with this post. I`ve just started some new shifts at work and it has required some ajustments on my part. So this post got a bit behind. Hope you can forgive me.

Well let`s get down to buisness. At Marianne`s Design Divas we are ready with a new challenge. We want you to create anything summery.

But first we need to have some sponsor stuff.

Our first sponsor is Bunny Zoe`s Crafts

Our next sponsor is as usual Marianne D herself

The prizes are some fabulous surprise packs, so you just have to be in it to win it, lol.

For my creation this time i have created a tag using one of the lovely sheets from the Romantic Paper Journey Block.

I have kept it real simple as the paper itself was just so incredibly beautiful.

I framed the couple with a frame from Melissa Frances

I also put on a little bouquet of flowers.

Finally i added this lovely vintage button.

Please come and join us over at Marianne`s Design Divas. We`re really looking forward to see what you all come up with. Happy crafting!

For my creation today i have made a baby crib with a card inside. The tutorial is available at Bodil`s Hobbyblogg. It is in norwegian, so you may have to translate it.

The only differnce is that i made it a bit longer than the original.

And Marianne Design

Over to my second creation for the day. A while back i got this boring white painted star. It probabely is something used as a Christmas decoration but i have altered it to fit my own needs, lol. I love shabby chic and i have tried to embellish the star in a shabby style. Hopefully i made it work. I went a bit overboard with the pics, lol, so please bare with me.

This is a resin frame by Melissa Frances i believe. If i`m wrong please correct me, lol. I have cut out a little piece of a design paper to use as a picture in the frame.

Here i have used some of these small and cute silk flowers from Marianne D. They are available in several colours. I have used the blue and pink ones. Available here and here.

I have also used some flower ribbon with small roses which i cut in pieces. These are perfect for any cardmaker to use.  This Marianne D trim is also available at Cuddly Buddly. The butterfly is an embellishment left over from my wedding.

The blue flower is from Prima.

Here is another resin piece. I think it is so beautiful.

I have also used the Moroccan bird cage, available here, and butterflie #3 available here.

That`s it for today...i won`t risk you getting bored with me, lol, so i`m going to stop now. Ok, i know...you are bored allready so why don`t you just hop on over to The design divas blog and see what the others have been up to. Thanks for sticking out with me, lol.

He works at ARK which is a chain of bookstores here in Norway. So there... i got to give him some advertising too, lol. These bags are about 5,5" x 4,5" and they come in packs of 3pcs at the prize of £1,57 (kr15,-)

Not too long ago Marianne D released these baby themed creatables. I just adore these. They are so beautiful. For this card i have used:
