Noen bursdager

Ja, det har vært noen bursdager i det siste.... Og det er alltid like vanskelig å finne på hva man skal gi i gave til de forskjellige. Litt avh også av hvor gamle de blir, om det er rundt tall eller ikke.... :)

Jeg kommer nå til å vise fram noe av det jeg har laget til de ulike bursdagene vi har vært i de siste ukene.

Først et bursdagskort til ei venninne som blei 27, og feiret dagen sin med gode venner som var samlet til god middag, vin og dessert på en fin restaurant her i Kr.sand. Av oss fikk hun dette bursdagskortet sammen med ei god flaske med vin... :)

Lately there have been a lot of birtdays to celebrate around here.... And it is always a challenge to find out what kind of present to give the lucky one. A lttle also depending on how old the person is turning, if it is a round number or not..... :)

I will here show you some of the things I have made for the different birtdays we have attended the last few weeks.

First a birthday card for a girlfriend of mine, which turned 27 years old. She celebrated her big day together with good friends for a better dinner, some wine and desert on a nice restaurant here in Kristiansand. From us she got this birthdaycard together with a good bottle of wine.... :)

Deretter var vi i en dobbel 30 års dag, i Stavanger. Det var et vennepar av oss som begge fylte 30 og feiret det dermed samtidig. Så da tenkte jeg at jeg hadde lyst å lage noen gaveposer, for å lage noe litt annerledes enn bare kort. Men problemet kom da jeg var ferdig, og skulle ha noe oppi disse posene. Jeg måtte be om hjelp av noen venner, og fikk flere forslag. Men jeg må absolutt takke venninna mi Randi for at ho kom med så gode forslag til meg! :) *Takk, vennen*

Løsningen jeg havna opp med til slutt, blei da veldig godt mottatt hos mottakerne!! Så det var jo godt! :) Beskrivelse kommer lengre ned.....

Først vil jeg vise selve gaveposene.

After that, we were attending a dubble 30 year celebration. It was a couple we are friends with, were they both turned 30 and celebrated both at the same time. So I had in mind that I wanted to make some giftbags, something different then just giving cards. But the big problem came when the were finished, and i had to think out something to have inside these giftbags. I had to ask some frinds for help, and got several suggestions. But most of all, I have to thank my girlfriend Randi for the very good ideas she gave me. *Thank you, dear friend!*

The final solution that I ended up with, was really well recieved with the recipients!! So that was good to see! :) Description is coming futher down in this blogpost..... First I wanna show you the giftbags themselves.

For her. P.S: The stamp that says "Gratulerer med dagen" means Happy Birthday in English.

For him. P.S: One of these have the same Happy Birthday- stamp.




Noen har kanskje merka at dette innlegget har vært litt ufullstendig. Jeg måtte liksom publisere det halvveis for å se åssen det blei seende ut.
Men jeg nevnte høyere opp i innlegget at jeg skulle vise dere mer. Først til gaven som fulgte sammen med gaveposene over her.

Some of you may have noticed that I did published this post only halfdone. I just had to publish it, to se how it looked like. But, I promised you more earlier. So, here I will first show you rest of the gift that came along with the giftbags over here.

In this giftbag i put a bottle of fine champagne, two roses, a basket of strawberries and a little cuddly bear! With a note to the birtday couple to find a perfect occation to have a nice and romantisc time together! :)

Så til den aller siste bursdagen vi har vært i, som jeg skal vise fram. Denne gangen er det et vanlig kort, bare i en litt annen størrelse enn vanlig 6x6. Dette var til ei god venninne sin kjæreste, som fylte 40. Så da måtte det jo være litt mannlig. Jeg syns det er vanskelig å lage mannekort, men slik blei det.

So to that last birthday we have been to. This time it is a regular birthday card again, only a little different size than the ordinary 6x6 inches. This was for the boyfriend to a very good girlfiend of mine. He turned 40, so I had to make something masculine. I think that is a hard thing to do, but this is how it became in the end.
