A new Christmas-card

I made yet another Christmas-card. It's good to make them this early - no stress! :)

Scrapbooking

Last weekend, I visited my sister in Oslo, Norway. She had turned 40 and I had created a little scrap-book album with 16 pages for her, with pictures from our child-hood. It was a lot of work but she really appreciated it, so it was well worth while!

Down below are some of the layouts I gave her...

"Klellell" is what I used to call her when we were kids. I am only 15 months older, so I wasn't able to pronounce her name "Christina" very well...

Her and me both at our grandparent's house

The house where we grew up - well, at least until I was 13!

Celebrating Lucia...

Christina's birthday, she got a new bicycle and of course we had to get out in our nighties to try it!

My goodness, we were soooo happy with our new hair-do's! (I'm the one to the left)


Last day in school before the summer-break and we were all dressed up! Fancy shoes as well, eh?

Christmas-card!

Do you think I've probably lost it? Haha! No, I've taken upon a challenge here to make 1 Christmas-card per week the whole year, and this is the first one! It will be nice in December, when I will have 50 Christmas-cards ready! I will even be able to take part in a fair and sell some!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY! I hope that 2011 will be a great year with lots of new, good experiences and lots and lots of time to craft!!

This is a card I made for a colleague and friend - J - who moved to Cyprus since her husband got a job there. A big change for her, but I am sure it will be great! And such a difference from this cold north! I cannot help but envy her...

However, J loves the vintage look and also blue, so this card I made was spot on! And I am really happy with it as well... :)

Another one

Another Christmas-card! This is one of those that I sold, and I like it! I have had good use of that edge-punch from Fiskars, I really like the look it gives.

Tomorrow it's Christmas-eve, and that is the main Christmas-day here in Sweden. For some reason THAT is the day, as opposed to the rest of the world (well, almost all the world). So, today I am off work and have lots and lots to do at home - so why am I placed in front of the computer??

Christmas coming up

Christmas is just around the corner and I have been sooo busy lately! So this time I will show you a few of this year's Christmas-cards. For the first one, I used untraditional colours and I am quite satisfied with it! The text is embossed with glittery black and it's Swedish for "Warm Christmas hugs".

The next card I made in purple, also pretty untraditional. I wasn't as satisfied with this one as the one above, but this one was actually sold when I brought my cards with me to work. Somebody liked this best of all!

This card is one of my absolute favourites, and this one was sold very quickly. I love the colours and I especially love the little glass-tree hanging down from the twine.

I also want to share with you that there is a fabulous blogcandy here! Can you believe all the goodies?!

Craft-meeting

Today I met 3 friends for a craft-meeting! We started the whole thing by going to a crafts-fair, and I did quite some shopping, I have to admit! Then we went to Frida's place and crafted - I made 5 Christmas-cards and the one above is the first one I made today... Thanks girls (and especially our hostess Frida), I had a blast!
