It's time for some Valentine Memories and a Sampler freebie

 Good morning :) 

Pssst..... it's quiet here. Everybody else in the house is still asleep , so I thought it would be the perfect time to sit at my desk and write this post. 

I don't have any crafty bits to show today. Remember , I told you in my last post I frogged a previously started crochet project and started anew? Yeah well, that didn't go so well. The repetitive movement of my arm while crocheting caused my hand and arm some strain , and as a result it hurts when I move it and I have barely any strength in it . Certain movements ,like gripping items and straightening it are slightly painful. 

So it's a forced crochet and knitting break for me , until this is healed up. I had this before , back when I was about 23 years old , working in a factory back then , and the repetitive movements caused the same. But not to worry, a little break and I'll be as good as new. No designing either because even gripping and moving the mouse is uncomfortable. 

In the meantime I'm reading . I can hold the Kindle e-reader with my left hand 😁  

Luckily I already had my new Valentines kit completed, including a freebie sampler. This is kind of special for me this year . It's the 10th anniversary. It was 10 years ago on Valentines Day when Reggie and I decided to be together and give a relationship a go. After a Valentines e-card and him sending me a song he had composed and played himself , there was no way I could say no to him. It was the most thoughtful and romantic thing anybody had ever done for me. So, happy heavenly Anniversary , Reggie . RIP , my love 💕

😄He never smiled for pictures .He could be laughing like crazy one minute, but as soon as the camera came out , the smile was gone. 

Here is what the kit I used for this layout looks like. It's available on the Store page for $2.99

And then there is the freebie sampler for you ....

Here is your download link

Until then , stay healthy and crafty 💓

New kit, Let's hygge Sampler and Christmas/Yule crafts

 Hello :) 

I'm finally back with some updates of what I've been up to lately. Of course it has to be Yule /Christmas crafts. 

I already have my tree up since the 28th of November, the first Advent. It's a tradition I grew up with.We have an Advent wreath with 4 candles and on each of the four Sundays before Christmas another candle is lit. There's also a children's rhyme for that. It goes " Advent ,Advent, ein Lichtlein brennt, erst 1, dann 2 , dann 3 , dann 4, dann steht das Christkind vor der Tuer. Loosely translated that means : Advent, Advent , a candle is burning, first 1 , then 2, then 3 , then 4 , and then Santa is at the door. 

Candles are the "hygge factor" for me at this time of year. They make the room cosy. 

As the past years , I'm aiming for a plastic free Christmas again. So during the evenings I was busy stringing up lots of wooden beads. 

They look great as garlands in my little tree . 

I have a Gnome theme this year 😁

Even my tree topper is a Gnome :) 

Gnomes everywhere 😁

 

I made a Macrame wall hanging with pinecones which I collected out and about during my walks. 

A heart shaped Macrame door wreath . 

And a Macrame Star.

And there is the new Kit 

"Let's Hygge" 

The kit is $2.99 and as usual you can purchase it by emailing me at snowravensdesigns@hotmail.com

And of course I have a sampler for you 😁 

Here is your link

That's it for now. I will make myself another cup of coffee now and have some of those gingerbread cookies that have my name written all over them 😉

Stay healthy and crafty

New Kit -Winter Comforts and free sampler

 Hi again everybody :) 

I'm finally finding the time to sit down and post the freebie sampler of Winter Comforts for you. 

Winter Comforts is now available on my little Store page. This kit continues the journey through the year as the days get colder and the evenings darken earlier. We tend to stay more indoors and seek comfort by getting cosy and warm with a nice hot cuppa , but there are also still nice days. There are still colourful berries on the trees and bushes , providing food for all kinds of animals. And the first frost has arrived .Well...at least here where I live :)   

I love feeding the birds and bringing peanuts to the cute little squirrels in the park. 

And this is what I wanted to capture with this kit. Each of the Winter kits will be a different story 😀

Winter Comforts has 17 backgrounds ( only 12 are shown)  and 26 elements. Purchase as usual , just email me at snowravensdesigns@hotmail.com with the kit name and I will send you a PayPal invoice , and link as soon as payment notification arrives. 

$2.99 

Here a quickpage made with this kit. 

And then there is the little sampler for you :) 

Here is the link :)

The next kit on this journey will be .....

Winter Forrest, in which we go out into Nature. 

But more about that one in my next post ....

Until then , stay warm , healthy and crafty 💜

Samhain Night freebie Sampler

 Hello again :)

I finally managed to get the second Halloween sampler done . If you haven't seen yet , my Samhain night kit is also on the Scrap Store page. 

As all the Autumn series kits and my other Halloween kit " Halloween Hauntings" this kit is also made to mix and match. All colours are planned and selected so you can use the papers and elements to mix them with all the other kits . 

You can grab it for $3.50 by e-mailing me at snowravensdesigns@hotmail.com

I had considered to put up a PayPal button to make it easier to purchase kits, but decided not to for security reasons. I don't want to make it easy for hackers to get access to my account. This way only those of you who are interested will know my PayPal details via invoice. 

Security and safety first! 

And here comes the sampler ! 

Mr Skully Skull also features in the Halloween Hauntings kit. He's such a charmer with his cheeky grin :) 

Here's the link
