Christmas-card challenge

I'm participating in a challenge at Ett julkort i veckan (a Swedish Christmas-card challenge blog). This week the challenge is to use buttons on the card. This is what I came up with!

Birthday-card

This is a birthday-card I made for my dear friend Åsa, she turned 40 (or was it 25?). She loves everything to do with Hello Kitty, so of course I had to use that on the card! And she also creates lovely earrings, necklaces and such, so of course I had to use some bling for the card as well! :)

What else? I have been offered a new job! It's about the same as I do now, but it will be closer and better paid. Let's just hope I will like it there! I will start my new job in the beginning of May!

Cutest cat!

Isn't this cat the cutest? As you might already know, I am a HUGE fan of cats. They are independent and have oh so much personality! I just love them, and especially my own Sixten, a male Norwegian Forest cat! He's not the one in the picture, though...

Anyway, this is a deco by the theme "Animals in winter" that I made for a group-swap.

Scrap-day

London 2005

Precious Mom

Last week I had a day off from work and I spent it with my very dear friend Sollan. I don't scrapbook very often, but I do have a small album in the size of 6x6" and since Sollan is a great scrapper and a huge inspiration, I thought I would do some LOs while I was there. Here above are 2 of the LOs that I made during that day. I had great fun, and I will try to scrapbook more often! Theank you Sollan for the inspiration, input and also the embellishments you let me steal from you! ;)

The one at the top is showing pics of when M and I were in London in November 2005. The other one is a tribute to my mom, she is the best mom ever!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everybody! I hope you will have a great, crafty new year!

Here are some of my latest work. The one at the top is a deco, themed "Snowmen" (obviously, LOL), made for a group-swap. I must say that I am quite happy with the way it turned out . Note that the lovely stamp was made by my dear friend Maria! Isn't it gorgeous? I coloured it with my watercolour-pencils.

The next is a Christmas-card! Yes, Christmas is over and done with for this time, but it's never to late to begin making Christmas-cards for the next year, right?! The text on the paper "God Jul 24:12" means Merry Christmas December 24 - because here in Sweden we do ur main celebrating at Christmas Eve!

The last one is a birthday-card (probably). I did not have anybody in particular in mind when I did it, it just came to me... Both this card and the Christmas-card was coloured in with my Promarkers.

Retirement-card and Christmas-cards

 My former boss Margaretha retired last Friday. Of course I had to make her a card! She is a non-fuss woman who is always dressed in black, so this is what I came up with. It was really fun to give it to her because she was so very emotional. She hugged me and stroke my cheek - so not her usual self! 

These 2 Christmas-cards above is what I made recently. I guess it's about time to send the Christmas-cards out soon! Especially those that will go overseas!

Birthdays

A couple of weeks ago both my darling and his mom had their birthdays (at the same day). Of course I had to make them birthday-cards! The top one is for my sweetheart - "Puss" is Swedish for "Kiss" - and the other one is for my Mother In  Law. She loves cats, so of course I had to make a cat-card for her!
