Christmascard challenge!

Very late (I think today is the last day), I made a Christmas-card for the challenge of the Swedish blog "Ett julkort i veckan", which is a challenge blog to make one Christmas-card per week from a given sketch. And this is what I came up with!

The cold I told you about last time (almost a month ago) was not a cold - it turned out to be an aggressive form of pneumonia, one that takes very slow to heal. As a matter of fact, I still have a slight fever and of course, also a bad cough. Oh well, hopefully I will get better very soon!

Kortskissens 300:e skiss!

Time to bring this blog back to life! Hopefully I will be able to update now and then.

This is my take on Kortskissens 300:e skiss. Don't you just love the colours?! Most part of the card I made at this weekend's big event "Stockholm Scrap- and Pearl Event". I had a great time there, unfortunately though I came down with a cold as well, so it's not been as good as I had hoped. Oh well, I believe I will survive this cold!

Layouts

Yesterday I was visiting a friend (a fabulous crafter and the maker of this blog. We had a wonderful day with crafting and talking. Sollan, I love you! :) 

So these 2 layouts I came up with. First, a layout of one of my cats, named Felix. When he was a kitten, he found a shoebox in my craftroom, that he liked to lay in. As he grew bigger, the box became increasingly tighter for him, until it broke altoghether. However, he never seemed to get the connection of himself growing bigger, he probably thought I made the box smaller...


The next layout is a photo from our Christmas-celebrations in the 80:s. Weird, you think?! Well, there's a story to it, of course: My uncle had put 2 enormous, heavy parcels under the Christmas-tree, destined to myself and my sister. We were very curious and intrigued to as what it would be inside. And it turned out that he had put in some pice of wood and then a bag of potatoe-chips in each of them... He's very funny, my uncle... 

And here she is! At this very moment she is excited about a ribbon that was the exact right colour, hence the funny looking expression... And hmmm, don't look at the almost empty candy-bowl. We did NOT eat it all - her family took more than half! ;)

And tomorrow it's time to get back to work again, after having one week off... Feels strange!

Cat-scrapping!


I have made a few layouts lately! Two of them are of my lovely cats. This first one is of Sixten and his sister Signe. They were always so cuddly and cute with each other. Then one day, Signe was hit by a car and we had to decide to take her away. It was such a hard decision! 


About two years after Signe was taken away from us, we decided to get another cat to keep Sixten company. We found this little fellow, his name was Felix and this is his first Christmas. He was so happy to lie under the Christmas-tree with all the Christmas-gifts! Then two years ago, he just disappeared. We think he must have been hit by a car or something like that. It's sad, though... Now we only have Sixten left and I think we will keep it that way, He and Felix never got along very well anyway...

Another card

Another card I made the other day! The cat is coloured in with watercolour-pencils and I also put on some stickles on the bow on the cat's head.

Still alive!

Hey you all - if I have any readers left, that is... I haven't stopped crafting, just hadn't had the energy to blog. I've changed jobs and I really like the new job a lot, but it has also taken a lot of energy.

So, here is some of the decos I have made since April! A lot of vintage, guess you can tell it's my favourite theme, right?!

Vintage ballerina
Vintage bathing beauty
Vintage pinups

Trolls & Goblins

And you know what? I still have another week of vacation - I'm actually hoping for a little bad weather so I get to craft without feeling guilty! ;) Because if the weather is fine, you should really be outside and enjoy it and summer, right?!
