Sympathy card ♥

 

Noen ganger trenger man desverre å lage kondolanse kort..  
Dette vakre motivet fra den danske kunsteren Zindy S. D. Nielsen passet veldig godt for å formidle sorg over tapet av en ung jente jeg kjente ♥ ♥ ♥

Sadly we need theese condolences cards from time to time.. A young girl I knew suddenly passed away, and I thought this gorgeous motif from danish artist Zindy S. D. Nielsen would illustrate sorrow and loss beautifully ♥ ♥ ♥

Creative Fingers ♥ Christmas ~ Part 2.

Godt Nytt År! Da var jula over for denne gang, med masse god mat, gode venner & familie, kjempekoselig å få så mange flotte gaver & fine jule hilsninger ♥

DesignTeamet hos Creative Fingers ønsker å takker våre flotte sponsorer gjennom året som var, og har en bloggpost som du kan finne her. På grunn av sykdom og andre uforutsette hendelser, så ble disse kreasjonene først lagt til i bloggposten i kveld, beklager så mye forsinkelsen! ♥

Jeg har funnet frem fire av mine favoritt motiver fra Crafts and Me UK, Octopode Factory, Scrap n Dipity og Bugaboo Stamps, og det ble to julekort, en tag og en gaveboks! Boksen er faktisk esken til en kirsebær ost og jeg har pynta slike esker før også om du vil ta en titt: CrémeChérie keepsake box tutorial!

..og vi har også en Christmas blogcandy gående helt frem til 24. Januar, da vi har tatt en liten pause med utfordringene :)

Happy New Years! ♥ Christmas has come and gone, with lots of good foods, good friends and family, sweet christmas greetings, and I got many lovely presents too.. Good times :)

I have colored four of my favourite images by Crafts and Me UK, Octopode Factory, Scrap n Dipity and Bugaboo Stamps ♥ Two christmas cards, a fun tag and a gift box!
