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

Enjoy, have a nice Sunday and stay crafty 💓

Last day off - and a free Sampler quickpage

Good morning again, its my last day off, so lets make the most of it !
What have I been up to? Craft projects - 2 more were completed while watching the football last night.

Then I was busy to upload a kit which I finished last year but never really published. Its only a small kit , so instead of a sampler I made a Sample qp from it-which I used as a layout. You can pick up this free qp on the Store page under the kit previews. But this is the layout I made with it.

And I carried on working on my Christmas kit. I have almost completed it. Here is quickpage with one of the darker backgrounds. I was trying to get away from the traditional Christmas colours. I bought new decorations for my tree this year , and that's where the colours were taken from. We have a nice bright pink, a turquoise shade , a green, lilac and plenty of silver and gold. Here is a little teaser

Sparkly, hey? Anyway, I gotta rock on. And back to work tomorrow means I might not be able to do as much here on the blog as I have been the past days, but I will check in as soon as I have time. Hugs Snowy
