Evening creativity

Cards, Creativity, Scrapbooking

I was quiet for a few days. The reason I have been quiet is that I have been so loud. I have not been embarrassingly loud, but I have been talking a lot, and I have been very social. The need to blabber digitally has thus not been as strong. Everyday life has returned, while extraordinary life has also made a brief visit, hence the real life blabbering.

Now, for a wee warning. As everyday life now seems to be back on track I also have time for some spare time activities. Consequently there might be a bit of creative input on the blog. The creative input will simply be me sharing what I spend my evenings working on. You see, I scrap: scrapbooking, cardmaking and various papercrafting (a few questionable gerunds there, but hey, I’m not a native speaker, leave me alone :P). These function as a creative outlet for me, where I get to make something simply be tearing or cutting paper and gluing it back together. A wee bit creative, a wee bit easy, and something to make gifts a wee bit more special.

Earlier this week I gathered four lovely ladies around the kitchen table. I made a proper mess, talked a lot, found some inspiration and ended the night with two simple cards. A very successful evening.

Yule cards

I set aside for some time for a creative outlet yesterday; joined by a good friend and a large cup of tea. I produced three yule cards, and hopefully I’ll have enough to send around to friends and relatives. The friend from yesterday has promised to take our family photo this season which will feature on the inside of the cards. I will try to produce some more before the sun starts increasing the hours of daylight, and hopefully everyone who hopes for a yule card from us will receive one 🙂

I går satte jeg meg endelig ned med scrappeutstyret og noen timer avsatt til kreativ utfoldelse. I selskap av en god venninne og en stor kopp te fikk jeg produsert tre julekort, så i år klarer jeg kanskje å få sendt ut kort til familie og venner. Venninna mi fra i går har lovt å ta et familiebilde av oss før jul, som skal prege innsiden av korta. Så nå får jeg bare produsere noen flere før sola snur, slik at alle som håper på et julekort fra oss får ett 🙂
