LGS Team A December week 3

Hello everyone , are you counting down towards Christmas?
For us in Scandinavia and Nordic countries together with most of
the rest of Europe we have only 9 days to go as we celebrate
on the 24th, yes ...on Christmas eve we can open our "presies"

The sketch this week over at Let's Get Sketchy
 is perfect to use previous years Christmas photos,
but there are other fab interpretations to see on our
challenge blog, made by the tallented  ladies on Team A.

mine is all about Christmas..

inspired by this fun sketch...

.....made by Bev

I have got a few closies too...

As we have hardly any propper daylight this time of the year,

I find it difficoult to take decent picture of the LO's.

Te light outside is very blueish, so I have to add some 

artificial light, but then it makes the pictures a bit yellow....

....anyway  here they are

In Norway Santa acctually comes to visit the children

on Christmas eve, so when my niece and nephew was 

celebrating Christmas with their grandparents in Switzerland

a neighbor had to dress as Santa and pretend he had a sore

throught as he didn't speak  any Norwegian lol

( he had to do the same the year before when we were visiting....

...poor "Swiss Santa" not a good year lol)

As the song goes " It is begining to look like Christmas..."

I hope you all who are celebrating are enjoying your self

during the busy days we still have left before

the Big day is here...

Thanks for stoping by and taking time to leave a comment :)

Toffee as Last minute Christmas (Sweets) present with a Sparkle

Happy Friday  around the world ...it is weekend and 

the 13th Day of Christmas preparation,

 so todayI have a last minute gift idea  to share with you...

It dosn't take long to put together if you are like me 

and always have a few pre made diecuts in a box.

I always make sure I have a small stock

of each, especially  like now before Christmas  

a small stock of your favourit sweets is neede too ;)

mine is 

and it is perfect to make a quick gift

 It dosn't take more than 15-20 min to make 

It's just to wrap and glue the paper around the box

and add some embelishments to the precut diecuts

 I like this box as you can refill it with a new tray, so the 

gift box it self will last "forever" if it is  treated nice ;)

I used a strip of  birch bark, I peeled of some fire wood,

as part of the embellishment and
VOILA...a present to go

Enjoy!

I am also entering my box to the Sweedish Challenge blog
ALLT OM SCRAP
This month it is about Glitter, Glimmer/ Sparkling and Glow
Please visit their fantastic blog. Soon it will be able to follow
with English translation.

Thanks for stopping by today 

and taking time to leave a comment during these busy days

Pixel and Paper December 2014 Northern Lights

Hi there,  and thanks for stoping by today.
Now when it is the first month of winter  up north,
 it is nice if we can get some snow.... here on the west coast
 of Norway we usually don't get much, but now and then it gets cold
 enough to see the Northern Lights. It is a spectacular view of the
"dancing" colours on the night sky, and it does  look like
the background on this Pion Design  Paper I have used.
Speaking of Northern Lights or Southern Lights,
that's what the inspiration is all about,
 over at Pixels and Paper this month.
Come and have a look at the  CT members  LOs and
how they got inspired. They are a bunch of talented ladies.

As I am on the Creative Team to the " Mother blog"
ARTastic as well, where I normally have my reveal on the 15th,
I have 2 reveals today, due to a swap, so here is my
 ARTastic  " off the page" blogpost. 

Here is my Pixels and Paper page

and as you can see from the inspiration picture below, I was inspired
by the northern light it self, using a  winter photo of my niece
with similar colours in the sky( but not the northern light)

and just a few closies this time

Thanks for stopping by today and taking time to leave a comment

...and then Christmas came to ARTastic

....and then Christmas came to ARTastic

Not long until Christmas eve, so I thought it would be something

different to make a Christmas gift for the ARTastic challenge

this time. I altered a box of chocolate and decorated with

papers and bling from the colour palette.

There are more "of the page projects" and LOs over at ARTastic,

 so please pop over and take a look at all the wonderful projects the 

fantastic Creative Team  ladies  have made. There are 2 reveals,

the 1st and 15th every month.

here is my box of chocolates

...and this is the inspiration picture by Ethel Powers

some yummy toffiffee caramel chocolats

and some close ups too...

I just love these wooden reindeers, and they were perfect
for this box

Thanks for stopping by, Happy Scrappy week :)

Christmas LO at LGS Team A Week 1 December

Yippi!!! First month of  Winter in Norway and from

today we can officially start celebrating the month

of Christmas :)

There is an awesome sketch to work with  this week,
which gives many possibilities to create a LO with
 Christmas/Holiday/winter pictures.
 Why not pop over to see the fantastic
LO the LGS ladies have made this week.

Here is mine 

and here is the sketch..

made by Brenshevia
...like always , some closies too

and the photo is of my niece  taken in Switzwerland when

the family was visiting my parents for Christmas

I used Classic Christmas Collections papers
from Core Impressions.
 They are pretty awesome to "play" with, sanding
down the embossed areas getting different colours.

Wishing you a Happy month of December
and a Happy Scrappy Day.

Thank you  for taking time visiting again,

Flairbuttons on a Christmas LO

Hello there from far and away...

If you like using falir buttons on your LOs or other paper project

this is the challenge for you.

Over at the Norwegian Blog and on line store

ScrappeGarasjen it is all about using Flair Buttons

on your project

I am also submitting my page to
Cheris This-Memories for life
Christmas Cheers Challenge #1 Christmas Card or LO
using their Mood board or Picturecollage for
inspiration ( bottom left and right picture)
There will be a total of 4 Christmas Challenges
throughout November and December

Here is my Christmas LO using Flair buttons

(you can find them in the ScrappeGarasjen online store)

I have a few more photos og my niece for her album, so this LO 

was made for her. I have 4 more Christmas photos of her  to make

a page (or 2) so nearly finished. I started with one album, which

became 2 but now I am in the 3rd... but what can you expect

when using flowers and bling which needs space like

 a block of flats ....I must have been brainless thinking I could
get them all into one lol.....

...anyway here are some more closies

 I just love this Christmas tree button

and the one below which says

 Merry Chridtmas

in Norwegian

Happy Scrappy week every one

and thank you for stopping by, taking time to 

leave a comment :)
