Varför vara som alla andra när man kan vara speciell?!

Ibland behöver man sticka ut…. som när det gäller hjärnan- dvs min kalender på jobbet.

Årets lärarkalender var väl inte helt bedrövlig i färgen… Men Lila??!!! ja bättre än brun iofs.. men som sagt… inte så kul.

Att vi dessutom är ett helt kollegium som har exakt likadana kalendrar gör inte saken lättare… det är vid mer än ett tillfälle jag varit på väg att ta någon annans kalender… så vad göra?
Ja man är väl inte helt bortkommen med färger… så fram med textilfärgerna ( då ytan är tyg)  och gå loss med både färger och masker.

först grundade jag med vit täckande tygfärg….

 

lekte med stenciler och masker ….

Så inför nästa läsår behöver jag väl inte fundera på vilken kalender som är min iallafall

walking in a winter wonderland…..

This is my favorite time of the winter, it´s almost Christmas, the snow have been falling for several days and we are now living in a winter wonderland.

yesterday me and my family enjoyed the beautiful weather, and I actually took a picture of the beautiful landscape we are living in…  Whats it like in your part of the world? sunny, warm, cold, lots of snow?

well let´s talk something besides weather for a while…

its almost Christmas… in less than two weeks the school is having a break for Christmas, and I´m the one always doing everything last minute… there is some ornaments and lights up.. but the rest of the decorations . they are still in their boxes. the only thing I actually have been doing is Christmas cards and tags… and earlier this week I had this tag up over at the Hobbyworld blog.

 

I´ve used a cute emboss folder from Spellbinders, and my favorite gelatos and glitter emboss powder to get the cute effects. I’ve also tied some of the cute new Platinum Shimmer Twine from the Twinery around the tag.

I hope that you will have a wonderful weekend with time to create
