MD #228 Karaoke

Hi everyone!! It's time for a new challenge on the Meljen's Designsteam and Challengeblog!! This week it's Karaoke time! You've got to pick a song and use this as a inspiration for your card.
I've picked "Happy" from Pharrell Williams, eventhough I've heard it a 1000 times I still like it and it makes me happy to listen to it.
For my card I've used "Sunny Day Flower" because a sunflower always makes me happy to see. I love the bright yellow of them!

You can now enter the challenges with any image you like but when you use an image of Meljen's Designs you'll get an extra entry and the chance of winning 2 images of your choice.

Looking forward to your projects for this week!

CK #55 Happy Fall Y"all!

Welcome to a new challenge on Creative Knockouts, this week we'd like to see something on your card/project that has to do with fall.
Our sponsor this week is Craft Classes Online ( formerly known as My Creative Classroom) and their prize is a online class of your choice.
For my card I've used 2 images of Meljen's Designs: "Squirrel's Little Acorn" and "Autumn Leaf and Acorn".
I've fuzzycutted the leaves and acorn and used them to decorate the border.
I hope you'll join us this week at Creative Knockouts!!

DT day at Meljen's Designs

Hi everyone!!
I had lost my inspiration this week but luckily there's Pinterest. I couldn't think of anything to make for my blogpost for today so I went browsing on Pinterest and found this cute milkcarton.
It's really easy to make and it makes a perfect last minute gift.

I've used "Berry Happy" on my milkcarton and fuzzycutted the strawberry so it popped a little more. I've decorated my milkcarton with a big flower and some leaves, punched two holes in the top and put a ribbon through it. Before you tie it closed, you can fill it with little treats of your choice like sweats or cookies.
(If you want you could even make a little window in it, so you can see what's inside)
Don't forget to take a look at the shop because Melissa gave the shop a fabulous make-over!! In honour of the shop upgrade she's got a sale going on!

Until next time!
Hugs!

Seahorse necklace

Recent weer heerlijk met mijn klei aan het spelen geweest. Ik wilde al een tijdje iets met een zeepaardje doen want dat vind ik altijd zulke fascinerende diertjes. Ik heb mijn inspiratie gehaald uit het boek "Under the Sea" van Christi Friesen maar heb er wel weer mijn eigen draai aangegeven.
Ik heb een ketting gemaakt met niet alleen een zeepaard maar ook een octopus, die trouwens superleuk was om te maken. Verder nog een visje en wat zeesterren erbij. Uiteraard een bijpassende armband, ring en setje oorbellen in het zeethema.
Ik ben alweer over het volgende kleiproject aan het nadenken, misschien iets met een vogel ofzo :)

My recently made new set of jewelry made with polymerclay. This time I've made a sea themed set. I love seahorses so this was my focal point of the necklace. Also a octopus, who was really fun to make and a little fish. Further more I made a matching bracelet, ring and earrings to go with my necklace. Again I've got my inspiration from Christi Friesen. This time from her book "Under the Sea". 

I'm already thinking about a next project, maybe something with a bird would be nice.
