Merry Christmas to you all
We celebrate Christmas today in Sweden
and at the moment I have eaten a great julbord which is like a "smörgåsbord".
Lots of great food ... yummy
We are soon to watch Donald Duck at 3 o´clock, it´s also a tradition here.
Even though my kids thinks it´s a bit boring since it´s the same show every year, I´ll hope they get it when they get older, it´s this sort of little things that are the build up before you can open up the presents...
Anyway I wanted to show you a card that I made for our
CHRISTMAS INSPIRATION CELEBRATION
over at SCRIBBLES DESIGN
Today´s theme is
Be Inspired by your favourite Christmas Character
I didn´t have to think a lot to know which one I was going to pick...
HO HO HO
I picked Santa as my favorite Christmas character because I´m a true believer in the magic of Christmas and Santa is so important to make the holiday special.
Also I collect santas and I got 1097 different Santa ornaments. I tell you that I have to start early to get them all up in time... but it´s all worth it.
These are images painted by a Swedish painter called Jenny Nyström. She did lots of images of the Swedish folklore Santa.
In folktales here in Sweden we hear about a different santa who lives at the farms. If you are nice to him and all the animals at the farm he will help you with all the heavy work, but if you do him wrong he might even kill your life stock to teach you a lesson so you better be good! He is dressed in grey instead of red so I decided to take him as a inspiration when I coloured this gorgeous Woodland Santa.
We've got something special planned from Dec. 15th to Dec. 25th to help celebrate the holiday season. Be sure to join us over on the Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog to find out all the details for participating. Join us for your chance to win some fun images and other prizes!
