DT WoJ ~ Willow with candle & winner of Baby card for Alison!

I have tried to make a folder card, with the new stamp from WoJ's winter kit! It was great fun:) I found the recipe in Beate's blog.
Here I have put in a paper to write on.
And here you can better see how I folded the card.
The back.
Here the card is folded together again. The beautiful papers are from Maja Design. But the "christmas paper" in the middle is from Webster's Pages. The metal embellish' are from Unik Hobby. No sewing this time, only inking the edges. My personal stamp is from Scrapmagasinet.
A close up of this beauty! I have Stickles on the leaves and 3D glue on the flame. She is coloured with Distress Ink.
The beautiful frames on the photos are made by Xtina.

And now for the winner of "A baby card for Alison challenge"!!
I got 38 entries, and wrote you all down on paper bits, and my husband made the draw. The name he got was

A Spoon Full of Sugar # 75 Kitchen/Cooking

Finally I am back with A Spoon Full of Sugar!!:) This week the theme is Cooking/kitchen. And as you can see I have made a recipe book.
All the papers and stamps are from my DT-package from Magnolia!! As well as the tag-book from Basic Grey. I have used weeks to make it, and finally I can show my little project!
Before I started decorating the tags, I painted all the edges on the tags with acrylic paint, white.
I have sewed all the edges on the papers with my sewing machine. Then I have used my distressing tool from Tim Holtz. The frames on my photos are made by Xtina.
All the sides are decorated, and you can see how they look like in my Magnolia blog:)
