What is shabby chic?

It's tuesday again and time for another challenge here at the Top Tip Tuesday blog . This time it's the blue teams time to shine.

So the blue team has made some shabby projects for you using inspirational photos.

There is some fab sponsors for this week's theme as well:

is offering any 1 of their CD's

We live in France. My daughter and I design the CD's. I started crafting about 20 years ago with glass painting and decorated furniture then started making cards for friends and family. We decided to design our own CD's as there was not much craft materials around when we moved here. We use living Artists for all of our CD's now and have recently shown our CD's on Create and Craft TV

So have a look in the challenge blog to see what my talented teammates have made for you and make one yourself;)

Happy crafting:)

Hestejenta vår

Her kommer det bilder av mitt første album laget med Bind it all. Dette var et prosjekt jeg opprinnelig laget fordi jeg kom til sommerscrapp finalen hos Papirdokkene. Oppgaven lød:  Kjære finalister, dere skal lage et album med minimum 8 sider inkl forside og bakside (dvs 4 ark) Størrelse på albumet og hvordan dere binder det sammen er helt opp til dere!

Alle sidene skal være pyntet!
 Jeg hadde temaet nokså fort klart og bildene også. Det jeg strevde mest med var å dekorere sidene, slik at det ble fint. Det gikk som det måtte gå i finalen med de superflinke andre jentene (delt sisteplass ja), men da har jeg i det minste fått laget meg et album.

Bildene er tatt 8 mai på Soma gård hvor størstejenta mi hadde sin første ridetur like før hun fylte 3 år. Det skal sies at hun har blitt hestevant pga barnehagen, da de går turer til Forus travbane og får klappe hestene der.

Her er bilder:
