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 calendar

Papercrafts, Scrapbooking, Yule calendar

Last year I made Husband one of these. It was not until after yule, so he didn’t get to use it. I still think I have some more work to do on it…

I fjor lagte jeg en slik kalender til Mannen. Den var selvfølgelig ikke ferdig før etter jul så han har ikke fått noen glede av den enda (bortsett fra dens iøynefallende tilstedeværelse). Jeg tror fremdeles jeg har noe som bør fikses på den…

I don’t sew, or knit, but I still wanted to make a yule calendar for my most beloved. Son’s is just finished, but in a very simple style, so I might dress it up a bit if I feel like it….

Jeg kan ikke sy, eller strikke, eller brodere, men jeg hadde fremdeles lyst til å lage en adventskalender til guttene mine. Sønn sin er akkurat ferdig, dog i en veldig enkel stil, så det kan være jeg pimper den litt sånn etter hvert…

 

Scrappiness design has a challenge to make a vintage inspired yule creation, hopefully this calendar meets their standards. And Sukkersøtt challenges us to make something for someone we love, and I know I got that right!

Scrappiness design utfordrer til å lage en vintageinspirert julekreasjon, jeg håper kalenderen blir akseptert. Sukkersøtt utfordrer oss til å lage noe til noen vi er glade i, og det har jeg I hvert fall klart!
