Roaring 20's Flapper Girl

Dette nydelige 20-talls 'Flapper' jentemotivet er fra Lemon Shortbread, vår sponsor hos Creative Fingers for utfordring #126.  Som alltid er det 'Anything Goes', som betyr 'Lag-hva-du-vil' på vår utfordringsblogg, og du er hjertelig velkommen til å delta :)

My card today is featuring the lovely 'Flapper Twirl Girl' from our awesome sponsor Lemon Shortbread in challenge #126. over at Creative Fingers! The Theme is as always 'Anything Goes', create whatever you wish, and you are most welcome to join in! :)

She reminds me of the Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher from the tvseries with the same name, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. It's a fabulous series, reminiscent of Poirot and Miss Marple ~ just way more colorful, funny, sassy and romantic! 
Great cast, set in Melbourne Australia, and it's really interesting to watch the 1920's from a liberated feminist point of view, as well as getting a fairly accurate historylesson! Most series from that era are kinda frumpish... ;) See a trailer on youtube, and go bingewatch it on Netflix if you haven't seen it yet!

my Vintage Inspiration Book!

AuroraWings er vår sponsor for utfordring #25 hos Creative Fingers ~ og jeg hadde noen nydelige steampunk digis som passet perfekt til temaet 'Vintage' som er helt valgfritt, så du kan også lage hva du vil! :)

Det er så mye flotte sitater og idèer å finne på nett og i blader, men alle notatene ligger bare rundtomkring, så for å få litt system på sakene har jeg lagd meg ei inspirasjons-bok til å samle alt i! :) 

AuroraWings is our sponsor for challenge #25 at Creative Fingers ~ and I had theese gorgeous steampunk digis wich perfectly matched our optional theme 'Vintage' ~ but it's as always an 'Anything goes' challenge if you prefer. Hope you'll join us! :)

There are SO many great quotes and crafting ideas around, online and in magazines etc., and I always write them down to remember 'em ~ but instead end up loosing them.. sounds familiar to anyone? So I've made myself an inspiration-book. Not going to loose this one! :)
