Cute snowman and another candle card

Wohooo! It’s FRIDAY! And the sun is shining (it’s freezing cold though). And I’ve worked hard and got a lot done this morning and feel like I deserve a short break! It’s a good morning!

I’ve continued my snowman stamping lately and thought I’d share my latest card. I totally love this cute family with friends! This card is for the Papertake Weekly Challenge, they have a wonderful sketch this week (again!).

The stamps are from Firecracker Designs by Pamela, the Shepherd Snow Family. FCD is having a huge inventory blow out sale of selected items – go check it out HERE!

I’ve also done another Candle Card. I gave the first one away yesterday, and it was much appreciated. It ended up at my co workers place, so this one is for our sweet neighbors.

Wish you all a lovely Friday and a wonderful weekend!

Candle card and a card box

I’ve been seeing these Candle Cards around in blog land for a while. Thought they were cute and so… But yesterday I saw one in real life when shopping at Ljuva Änglar. And wow, it was totally awesome! I got me the same paper as it was made of and headed home for my own try. I googled for a tutorial and found this. 

It was really easy and I like the result. I’ll make another one tonight and modify it some.

This card is also inspired by the song Tänd ett ljus (Light a candle) for the 365 cards challenge yesterday.

Today at The Rubber Café Blog there is a really great tutorial for a card holder/box. It’s actually the easiest and quickest one I’ve tried and it’s super easy to alter in different styles after what you want to do. Here is my first take on it.

The stamps are Winter Fun Labrador set,   Elegant Snowflake Border and Merry Christmas.

Have a lovely evening!

Eskimo Kisses

One of the mini kits in the A Page in Time December Kit is Basic Grey’s Eskimo Kisses. I did the happy dance when I found out and here are my DT projects with this line.

As usual a double pager. I’ve used a sketch by Pam Callaghan and simply mirrored it on the two pages. The page is about Christmas 2008. Left side is the first half of the day when we are celebrating Jonathan’s birthday, and the right side about the afternoon/evening when we are celebrating Christmas.

As my extra I did a combined Thank You/Merry Christmas card   for one lovely woman – Ulrika. With the scraps, I made a layout about my favorite room, the library and some more Christmas cards.

  And – I still have scraps left…

Happy Sunday

I was complaining yesterday about the BAAAAAD weather, and I think somebody heard me. Today has been a wonderful day with a blue sky. I’m happy! We’ve been busy around here. Baking more cookies, cleaning the closets and (from my part) scrapping and making a couple of cards. We have a friend of the family turning the big 50 in a near future and here is the card that he will get.

It’s based on Get Sketchy’s sketch #18. The bird stamps are from Artistic Outpost, and the papers are Daisy Bucket.

Next card is another Christmas Card. It’s time to send them this week to come, and I am getting ready to do it. This card is based on 365 cards Sketchy Sunday Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by! And thank you for all sweet comments!

The cutest Gingerbread man in the world.

Dear son and friends was adorable the other night. They were celebrating Lucia in “old style” so they sang mostly old songs and held the celebration outside. It was beautiful, no mother's eyes were dry… Here is my cutie pie!

And here is another cutie pie… sort of… LOL! This is hubby one of those really, really cold and beautiful January days we had early this year. (One think there might never EVER be a day like that again. I’ve forgot how the sky beyond all the clouds looks like!). This is made out of the Fancy Pants line in the A Page in Time December kit. I’ll give you more from it on Monday – then it will be some gorgeous Eskimo Kisses.

Aaaand a Christmas Card with the sweet Rubber Café stamps. This time I’ve used the Penguin Trio and the sentiment is Season’s greetings 2.

Time for some Saturday pleasures! Have a great evening!

A partridge in a pear tree

Here comes another Christmas card. With the Partridge in a pear tree stamp from Prickley Pear. The sketch used is Mojo Monday #116 And now I’m back to see Robbie Williams at Skavland. Yummy! And then I’ll keep my fingers crossed for Erik in the finals at Swedish Idol 2009. Or maybe Calle. We actually ended up voting for both… But that way you can’t go wrong, now can you?

Have the best of weekends!

Peace

What better theme is there for a card a day like this? President Obama got the peace prize earlier today, and that man sure knows how to hold a speech (which is not as easy said about the chairman of the prize committee …) And one may hope that the president will be able to live up to the intention of the prize in the years to come. It’s still a very strange choice though.

Peace is one of the many sentiments in the Shepherd Snow Family, and since the 365 cards challenge today is, yep you got it, peace, it was a done deal for today's card.

It’s another diamond fold card, I kind of fell for this folding. Easy and really neat if I may say so. LOL! Here is a link to a good You Tube tutorial. 

All the stamps are from Firecracker Designs, the Shepherd Snow Family set. Firecracker Designs is having an END OF THE YEAR INVENTORY BLOW OUT SALE going on right now!!! Today the discount increased to 50% off of the in stock sale items which can be found here.

Tonight we’re going to watch dear son as a ginger bread man in the celebration of Lucia. I will cry as usual…

Have a lovely night
