Finally...

...all the holidays are over and it also seems I'm starting to get my scrapping mojo back too!!

I can't believe how long it has been since I got some decent scrapping done but now I recently recieved my latest DT kit and that gave me the push I needed to get started! So last night I sat down and started playing around with the overlays I recieved in the kit. Haven't been using those a lot before but this will definitely not be the last time! They were so much fun to work with!

The overlays on these two layouts are from Best Creation and the backgroud paper is from Fancy Pants. If you have any questions regarding things I've used on these LO's feel free to comment and ask me!

First up is a LO of my youngest nephew Hampus who is 5 years old. He's been influenced by his dad to become a drummer and has already gotten his own set of drums that he plays as soon as he gets a chance. And let me tell you...the boy has got talent!! I was amazed when I heard him play and as the proud auntie of course I had to take some pictures to scrap.


The second LO is all about winter and all the fun thing you can do in the snow! Hampus is on this LO as well along with his older sister Evelina and brother Rasmus. The bling swirl is Prima's "Say it in crystal" and I also added "Diamond" stickles on the thickers to create that icy look. (Hard to tell from this picture though).

That's all for now but I'll be back in a few days to post some more DT work. Planning on getting some cards scrapped this weekend.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Happy Birthday Mom!!

My mothers birthday was on december 5th and this is the card that I sent to her.

Getting a little sentimental here but I just want to tell everyone how much I love my mom and how much she means to me! My mom and my dad has always been there for me supporting me through out my life and I am so greatful for everything they have done for me over the years! Unfortunately I don't get to see them as much as I would like since they still live in the north part of Sweden where I grew up. But that make the times we do spend together so special! We're going up to visit them for a week over new years and I just can't wait to get home to see my parents and to take long walks out in the lovely winter wonderland up there!

I made this card with things from my november kit from My Creative Scrapbook.
'Grattis' is of course Swedish and means congratulations if you translate it directly but it's more our way of saying Happy Birthday.

...and the inside of the card:

Hi blog readers! :)

Just checking in to say hello and to tell you that I'm glad that you are stopping by to read my blog! I realise I haven't posted in a while and that's why I wanted to post today to let you know that I haven't forgotten about this blog! I'm just not getting a lot of creative stuff done lately and the one thing I have scrapped recently I forgot to take a picture of before I gave it away.

I altered a clock (like the one you can see further down in this blog) but with a totally different look. I donated the clock to our church. They had a fund raiser event where they were raising money for the work they do with the young scouts. They had an auction for secret gifts where people could donate a gift. Then when all the gifts were auctioned out they had a drawing and two of the people that had bought the gifts also won a bigger prize. It was a great evening of lotteries, auctions and fun and a lot of money was raised for the scouts. I also donated a gift card for a linedance class. The highest bidder gets to invite up to 40 friends for a linedance class where I teach 2 dances. :)

So, not a lot of scrapping getting done here but hopefully that'll change soon! I need to get started on my christmas cards!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Fathers Day

This coming sunday we celebrate fathers day in Sweden. I have made a card for my dad with the cutest little owl stamp that I bought yesterday at MiMa's Scrapbooking. I painted it with 'Twinkles'. It was my first time using this glittery watercolor type paint and my technique has yet to be improved!! :) I have decided that it's charming when it's not perfect though! LOL!

The card is made so that when you open it, you still see the scalloped circle with the flower.

I have another project to show you as well. In my latest DT kit I got more glittery papers from Best Creation. These are not from the christmas line though. With black dotted cardstock I have made a box and then decorated it with the best creation paper, black and white tull, flowers and punchinella.

I can't believe...

...how fast christmas is approaching. I'm chocked every year when the stores start selling christmas decorations in october and earlier sometimes too. To me it seems a bit early. When it comes to making christmas cards I got a late start last year. It will probably will be 'last minute' making most of my cards this year too but in my latest DT kit I got some lovely glittery christmas papers from Best Creation. If you're like me and love anything glittery, these pp's are a must have. They are gorgeous and I get that warm fuzzy christmas feel looking at them.
They will soon be up in the webshop at MiMa's Scrapbooking for the readers from Sweden. To my US readers you can go to the Best Creation Webpage to find out where you can buy them. Here's a link to the christmas papers if you want to look at all of them.

Unfortunately, neither my pictures or the pictures at the Best Creation website don't do these papers justice. Glitter is hard to capture in a photo so if you have a chance to look at them in a store that's preferable.

Ok, so here are the cards that I made. First up is another big card. I made my first big card earlier for my brothers birthday (you can look at it in a previous post on my blog). There were just so many beautiful details on this Best Creation paper and I couldn't fit all of them on a regular sized card so I decided to go big! :) This card is 6x12 inches / 15x30 cm.

Now look at this adorable snowman. Isn't he cute?! The ribbon to the left is sort of a plasticy rubbery material. I used "Glossy Accents" to attach it. Glossy accents is perfect for not only getting that glossy finish to projects but also to attach clear things like the ribbon I've used and overlays. You can use it as glue.

The next card is kind of a pop-up card. I kept it pretty simple on the front and then when you open it there's a ribbon going across it with cut out christmas ornaments hanging down. LOL! I feel that my explaining skills in english are lacking so I think it's better if you just look at the pictures.

Well, that's all for now. Welcome back soon cause I have some more projects that I will post!
