Greetings from the North Pole!

 

... og et riktig Godt Nytt år! 🎉 Hoppet visst over jula her på bloggen, så jeg fikk ikke ønsket dere en God Jul ~ men det er mulighet for en gave fra meg om du vinner i en av mine bloggcandyer som du finner her ♥ Håper dere har hatt en fin juletid :) 
Helsa mi har ikke vært så god så jeg har ikke følt for å blogge så mye ~ men det ble jo lagd noen julekort på gode dager, i det supre nye scrapperommet mitt i ny-huset! Har lovet bilder ~ de kommer så snart jeg føler det ser presentabelt ut ;)

Disse kortene ble stort sett lagd med Hero Arts sine flotte klubb-kits, det fra oktober i 2017 og det som kom i oktober i fjor. Stemplene og diesene passet veldig godt sammen! Se bilder av kit'sene i bunnen av bloggposten.  

...and a Happy New Year! 🎉 I apparently skipped right over christmas here on the blog, so I didn't get to wish all of you Happy Holidays ~ but you could still get a present from me if you happen to win one of my blogcandies! And I hope you had a wonderful christmas time ♥ 
My health haven't been so good for a long time, so not felt much up for blogging and commenting... but there was ofcourse time for making christmas cards on my good days, in my new craftroom.. Wich is improving all the time, and I promised to take photos, they will come as soon as I think the room looks neat & presentable enough ;)

Theese two cards were pretty much made using the My Monthly Hero Arts kits. The one from october 2017 & last years october kit stamps & dies matched perfectly together. Photos of the kits in the info section at the bottom.
