Tutto quello che riesco a fare (con fatica) è visitare i blog delle mie amiche crafter e commentare.
Ci sono molti challenge a cui vorrei partecipare ma il tempo non mi basta mai... :(
N.B. Susan di UnstampaBelles e suo marito sono persone adorabili, pensate che a settembre hanno premiato mia nipote Aurora (anche se non aveva vinto) per incentivarla a continuare con lo scrap :D. Le hanno mandato dalla Tasmania dei bellissimi fiocchetti e una piccola fustella, insieme ad una cartolina con gli animali incredibili che sono caratteristici di quella zona. Grazie mille Susan, da parte mia e di Aurora! :)
Ecco il mio progetto: ho preparato una confezione per un rotolo di nastro in raso che voglio regalare ad una ragazza creativa.
Per creare i due fiori su uno dei bordi (che servono come copertina e come chiusura) ho usato un punch. Sul retro delle falde laterali ho incollato un avanzo di cartoncino arancione, per dare contrasto. Con lo stesso punch ho perforato un avanzo di carta bianca e poi con un altro punch ne ho ricavato i due cerchi che decorano l'interno.
Il rotolo di nastro è attaccato con un pezzo di biadesivo; sulla parte superiore ho incollato un piccolo cerchio arancione e una farfalla, su cui ho scritto a mano "Per te".
Le farfalle di legno sono bottoni che facevano parte di un premio ricevuto tempo fa per una vincita al Butterly Challenge (Grazie Mrs. A!). Ho infilato del twine nei buchi per creare le antenne e servono anche per tenere chiusa la confezione (la parte sinistra si infila sotto le ali).
Con questo progetto intendo partecipare ai seguenti challenge:

So nice to see you've found time to be creative again! You're not the 10 minute kind of designer, this might be less embellished than your usual projects, but it's beautifully decorated and you've placed everything where it fits. A sweet little gift for a crafty girl.
RispondiEliminaCiao Alice,
RispondiEliminaSempre amore farfalle e questo è così bella e un dono così, bellissimo lavoro. Si farà un bel regalo per una persona fortunata.

Oh Alice this is lovely and what a great idea. I love that you have used some of your butterflies from your win. Thankyou for finding the time and fluttering by my latest challenge where your cardbox will be entered twice. hugs Mrs A.
RispondiEliminaWhat a fabulous way to receive a gift when so beautifully packaged like this! A wonderful design Alice with the die cutting and embossing. The pop of orange really brings the card to life and the butterflies are gorgeous additions. I'd love to see the look of delight on the recipient's face when they see your really thoughtful and wonderful gift packaging never mind what's inside :). Hope you're having a great weekend so far my friend, Debra x

I'm sorry your work doesn't allow you enough time to create these days, but I'm always glad to see anything you make :) This is so pretty, and such a beautiful design with those butterflies and the hint of flowers peeking out from the blue with vivid orange color! I just love that pretty embossing too! Very nice!!
RispondiEliminaOh my! This is absolutely gorgeous! What a lovely color palette to play with and so much detail! Very creative! I know what you mean about finding the time! Hugs!
RispondiEliminaYay a creation from my friend, don't worry about commenting on my work if you are busy Alice, I do understand...Love your latest work of art.xx
RispondiEliminaHi Alice! I'm so sad to read that you missed the Playground challenge last week. The thing is, I do allow a little bit of back linking when things like this happen so please feel free to change the links in your post to week 251 in the Playground and then link up!

Che bella idea per regalare un nastro! Dai passera' anche questo super periodo lavorativo :-)
RispondiEliminaFabulous creation.Love the beautiful embossi ng and the pretty butterflies.
RispondiEliminaGr, Sylvia.
What a lovely way to present the tape to your friend. Your box looks lovely Alice. I really like the flower punch you've used. A super project. Barbxx
RispondiEliminaLove the bold colors on this nifty gift holder. Very striking, and I also like the way you've done the partial embossing on one side. It's a clever way to present a craft item too. Life just gets too busy for crafting & blogging sometimes, so hopefully all your followers understand! Have a wonderful week. TFS & Hugs
RispondiEliminaLove that bold blue and butterflies! Very cool how the butterflies hold the box closed. Love this!
RispondiEliminaPerchè lo chiami semplice? Come mi piace!!!! Dolcissima la coppia della Tasmania che ha premiato tua nipote, sicuramentw hanno riconosciuto in lei un cuore da scrapper.
RispondiEliminaPS: Ti capisco, anch'io comincio a faticare a fare post, creazioni etc...
Wonderful card, Alice, well done indeed, love the colours and the two conrasting butterfiles very well done, indeed! Thanks for popping over too!!

Aw, I loved reading how Susan sent Aurora a lovely package of crafty goodies - this warmed my heart! Your tape-roll box looks amazing, Alice! I have not made such a box before - you always come up with something fabulous! The butterflies add the perfect touch! So sad for you that you are so busy at work with no time to craft and blog - I think a lot of working people are the same way. On my blog break, I have found much more time in my day when I am not visiting blogs - I miss it very much but it was the only way to get some household projects done. I still have more work to do! I can't even imagine having to work all day - I would not have any time for crafting at all so I am impressed that you were able to find some time for creating this beauty. Sending hugs to you, dear Alice, and I hope your time gets better for you. Thinking about you...Love and hugs, Kitty
RispondiEliminaI agree with Brenda! A great classy piece and thanks for the shout out! Thanks for entering your work at Unstampabelles.
