Christmas Card Traditional Colours

Hi there!
Welcome to my second post today. There are so many inspirational blogs out there I just couldn't resist some of the challenges so I'd like to share this card at Hjerteboden, Kort o Mania and Allsorts Challenge Blog.

Thanks for visiting! Happy New Year!

Preparing for Christmas...

Hello everybody! Summer is now slowly fading away. Here in south Sweden July was unusually hot but now the temperature seems to have gone into autumn mode. And soon it's time to prepare for Christmas, isn't it? Anyway, I'd like to share some Christmas tags today. The tags were made from paper scraps which is quite fun. It's a bit of a challenge to make something out of scrap pieces and I really like that.

These Christmas tags were also entered into the Christmas challenge #315 at Fab'n'Funky. Thanks a lot for stopping by.
Love, Outi

Christmas in July

Hello fellow crafters! Hope you're having a great day whatever you do today. In south Sweden where I live it's sunny and windy at the moment. Within a few hours I will be on my way to visit some of the finest private gardens in this county. It's Open Garden Day today and I hope I will get some inspiration for our own garden. In my opinion there is too much open space in our garden and recently I have planted some shrubs, dug a new flower bed, no two actually, and we've also planted a cherry tree. Problem is that there are rocks everywhere beneath the lawn. And I mean everywhere.

Now I am lucky enough to have a partner who is very down to earth (LOL) and he gets things done, house, cars and all other things. And how handy wasn't it when he found a rather used little excavator and bought it. Planting has become so much easier since then...

Anyway enough about our garden. Today I'd like to share a little Christmas card inspired by some current challenges.

This card was entered into the following challenges:
Live & Love Crafts: Challenge 37 Christmas in July
Deep Ocean Challenge Blog: Challenge 108 Christmas in July
Papertake Weekly: Don't Be A Square

Thank you for stopping by. Wishing you a fine day today!
Hugs, Outi
