Birthday card for my Godfather

Tomorrow it is my Godfathers birthday, so I made this card for him:

Materials used:

Matting basics 6x6 from Spellbinders

Tag dies from Nellie Snellen

Dagens mand from By Lene

Background paper + chipboard kegs + ruler sticker + watch from Kaisercraft

Topper and stamp from Dixi Craft

2 different kinds of brown cardstock

Twine

Distress Ink from Tim Holz (used on the kegs)

Birthday card for Mette

Today it is my good friends birthday and so I made this card for her:

I usually use a lot of dies on my cards but for this one I only used 2 - the banner and the Happy Birthday, and both dies are from Card Making Magics "Complete Card & Box Die Set 5x7"".

The papers are Docrafts Papermania - "Capsule Collection". The chipboard pieces are from Scrapek and Søstrene Grene (the butterflies). Tuille, laces and flowers are from my stash, the small roses are from WOC.



Our New Years Eve dessert

Happy New Year.


For our dessert this year I decided that I wanted to try to glaze something, since I haven't tried that before, but I got very inspired to do so, but watching the Danish Christmas version of the Great Bake Off. So here it is our fancy dessert:

It was actually not so hard as I had imagined, only mistake I did, was not following the recipe, at least I figured out what to do to get it to work. Here is how the cake look inside:

The cake consisted of "kransekage" bottom, blackberry lchf fatbombs, lemon fromage and blackberry mousse and glaze.



Merry Christmas

This is my 24th blogpost this month and even though I had not planned on blogging every day up to Christmas, it just happend that way 😁. 

With this post I just want to wish everybody a Merry Christmas.

Christmas gift tags

Christmas is getting very close now, tomorrow is the big day here in DK, and I am ready for it: all the presents are bought, the groceries are bought and the tree is decorated. All we need to do is to put ribbon and gift tags on the presents and put them under the tree, which my husband and I will do tonight after the kids have gone to bed. I made a few gift tags this year as well, some of them turned out really nice others not so much, but we will use them anyway:

Christmas goodies

These goodies I have made for Christmas every year for the last 6 years, and sometimes for other occassions as well. They are seriously addictive, so don't say I didn't warn you ;-).

I make a big batch of them, because I know they will dissappear fast. The recipe can be found in Danish here: http://heidiskagesjov.blogspot.com/2012/07/konfektkager.html

Christmas flowers

The other day we had guests and I just want to share the beautiful bouquet they brought us:

I just love the red and green colors, perfect here for Christmas :-).

 Today was the last day of work, I am now off until next year, yeah :-).
