A christmas card and a fun Advent Calender

I can’t believe it’s no more than a month until Christmas! Where I live in Norway, we have had a very unusual start on the winter season, with temperatures above the freezing point every day and hardly cold nights. The grass is green, and the pansies still blooming, and it’s hard to get the season spirit. But there is one thing that never fails, and always takes me there, and it’s the advent calenders!

We in MyScrapbookNook DT thought it would be nice to do something together with our readers this last month before Christmas and we invite you all to be a part of our Advent Calender. Here is how it goes:


• This activity is open for readers of the MyScrapbooknook blog and the forum members
• 25 participants will host a giveaway on their own blog one given day between Dec 1-25th
• Anyone who comments on the participant’s blog could be a winner – being a reader of the Nook Blog or a forum member is not required.
• The DT will put up a link on the Nook blog each day to the actual blog hosting the Advent Calender

Please head over to the Nook blog to learn more about how to participate- and to get some major inspiration from the DT and Nook friends!


I have been busy with a big reno of my scrap room (photo's to come in a later blog post), but I have finally made my first Christmas Card this season. The Echo Park's Times and Season collection, featured in the Nook's November kit, is actually not a Chrismas collection, but I found the colors and patterns perfect for making a Christmas card anyway.

Do you make your own Christmas cards?
