Happy New Year! 🎉

 

🎇 Et riktig Godt Nytt år til dere alle! 🎇
Håper det blir både kreativt og fullt opp av gode opplevelser ♥

Rett før jul fikk jeg pakke i posten fra Joanna Sheen ~ handler ganske mye der, siden de har gratis porto for kjøp over £15., er oversiktlig og har mye flott i nettbutikken! 
Denne nydelige 'Melissa' snøkrystall-lignende lag-på-lag-diesen fra Sue Wilson falt jeg pladask for og tenkte at jeg kunne bruke en annen dies jeg har (også Sue W. design) som motiv i midten. Perfekt til julekort motiv! :)

Har du forresten sett vår flotte Creative Fingers DTs ~ Christmas blogcandy? Jeg sponser et av de tre stempelsettene man kan vinne der!

(God Jul = Merry Christmas)

🎇 I wish you all a Happy New Year! 🎇
I hope it will be a good one, filled with creativity & joyful experiences ♥ 

Right before christmas I got a package in the mail from Joanna Sheen ~ wich is a webshop in the UK that I frequently shop from. Free postage when you buy above £15., very easy to shop and they have a lot of goodies and always something on sale!
I just had to get this gorgeous snowflake-ish 'Melissa' triple-layer-die from Sue Wilson as soon as I saw it, thinking that it would be perfect for christmascards and the use of another dies I had (also Sue W. design) with the santasleigh motif in the middle :)  

Btw. have you seen our awesome Creative Fingers DTs ~ Christmas BlogCandy? I'm sponsoring one of the three stampsets there!

New Blogcandy! With some changes from last time ~ everything is shown in the photo, no surprises... and theres a linky now! 😊  

This is an add-on Blogcandy still, as I will add the three extra goodies you see attatched on the right of the image below, when there are 10/20/30 entries! If there are even more entries, there is a digistamp BONUS for 3 extra winners!

Here you will find treasure in old discontinued stamps, that maybe is hard to find as well as some other scrapbooking goodies. There are some nicely used stamps here that I am hoping will find a new home, as well as new and unused stuff!

.... and even though I said no surprises, there might be some extra extras getting added when I wrap this blogcandy up at the end ~ no matter if the add-ons have been added or not ;) 
 

This BlogCandy is open to all you wonderful crafty people who stop by my blog ~ I will ship worldwide ~ and while I would appreciate it if you were a follower of my blog, it's not necessary to win ♥ But please ~ ONE entry each & NO Non-crafters or Candy-only-bloggers, that would not be fair! 

The only thing I ask of you is that you spread the word by sharing this blogpost. Feel free to use the blogcandy photo, (or the small one in my sidebar) either on your own blog (sidebar is fine) and add a link ~ or share via pinterest, instagram, facebook, twitter etc. even just telling a friend counts :)

EXTRA BONUS! If there is more than 30 x entries, I will also pick 3 more winners who will get a freebie digistamp each (of their choice) from my etsy shoppe! So do get the word out 😊
 

  

The candy will end on November 30th. at 23:55/11:55 PM.
