Pion Design

…sponsrar Svensk Scrapbooking och jag fick nöjet att leka lite med pappren Väntan på Tomten som mitt första uppdrag. Heeelt ljuvliga dubbelsidiga papper som passar till allt som är julrelaterat (och lite till!!!) Pion Designs shop hittar du HÄR, och deras inspirationsblogg HÄR.

I’ve made my first inspiration layout as part of the Svensk Scrapbooking team, using fab papers from Pion Design, a Swedish paper manufacturer. Love this stuff!!!

Av pappren gjorde jag en layout och ett kort till att börja med. Layouten är om min kära far och svärmor som alltid gör familjens juljansson tillsammans – julbordets viktigaste rätt.

Mitt första blogginlägg hos Svensk Scrapbooking finns HÄR, och där har jag bloggat ett kort också. 

Today it’s Sunday which also means it’s time for a new fun and inspiring sketch by Pam over at 365 Cards!!! My card is a birthday card that will be delivered later today so I’ll wait with posting it.

Wish you all a lovely Sunday!

Cardinal Card

Hi folks! Isn’t it totally WONDERFUL that it’s finally FRIDAY!?!?! Wohoo, I’m sooo happy about that. I’ve decided to take a complete work free weekend. And actually scrap some… I still have a work day to complete though, so this will be a quick one. I made a card using Laura’s sketch #64 over at 2Sketches4You.

All stamps are from Prickley Pear’s clear stamp sets. The cardinal bird, sentiment and snowflakes are from the Cardinal set while the tree branches are from the Ornaments set.  And here is the fun sketch:

Over to my good news! I was asked to join the team over at Svensk Scrapbooking (Swedish scrap forum and blog) and I’m totally thrilled about it!! The ladies and few gents over there are the sweetest ever, and the atmosphere is totally supportive and cheerful. Soooo, I’m one happy lady!

Have a great Friday!!!!

Happiness

Hi! I thought I’d try brighten this gloomy day up with a DT page for Scrap-Perra about a happy couple on their wedding day. They, my cousin and wife, are arriving at the reception after the wedding ceremony and they look sooo happy!

The papers used are Pink Paislee Parisian Anthology, my current favorite papers with amazing embossed details. If you want details about the page, like products used (in Swedish) and some close ups, you can find it in THIS post over at Scrap-Perra’s blog.

I have a lot of catching up to do, a couple of cards to share, some sweet awards received in the last couple of weeks (I know, totally ungrateful!) and some super FUN news. It will come, but it’s been rather busy lately. Work intrudes on my scrap- and computer time. Like now, I have to go finish reading a book titled Relationer mellan bruk och omland i östra Småland 1750-1900 - I wont even try to translate that one, but trust me – it’s a killer!

Have a great day!

Super Sketchy Sunday

Happy Sunday folks! It’s time for a new fun sketch from 365 cards and Pam!

This week’s sponsor is Sweet’n Sassy Stamps! YAY!!!!

And here is Pam’s fabbie sketch. Super fun to play with!!!

I got the lovely Pumpkin Patch Digi Stamp to play with, so a fall/Halloween card it is:

All the papers are fabbie MME Blackbird. Love this stuff, and also love the pumpkin digi, it was supha fun to paper piece it. Lot’s of dimension on this one. And stickles, and trust me, the stickles looks so much better in real life!!!

I’m also entering this card in Sketchy Colors new challenge – to use Green, orange and black! I did! I did!!! LOL!!!

Hop on over to the 365 cards blog and check out the FAB creations of the DT!!!

And before I go, I’d like to share the card I sent for my dad, using my son’s favorite stamp (he picked it himself at the store, and said I HAD to use it for this card). Totally CUTE!

Have a lovely Sunday!

Grattis pappa! / Happy Birthday Dad!

It’s my sweet dad’s birthday today. He’ll spend it on airports and in the air on his way from Turkey home to Sweden. Hope you have a good travel!!! We’ll celebrate you next weekend!

Here is a Saturday card for Kazan’s sketch #64 over at 2Sketches4You. As always a great sketch!!!

I’ve used 2 Prickley Pear Stamps on this one - first the frame, Collaged Pinecone Tag, which is a perfect match with the sentiment Joys be many. And here is the sketch.

We are having friends over for the weekend, and they’ll arrive any minute. I wish you all a lovely Saturday! I’ll be back with Super Sketchy Sunday tomorrow.

Hi!

Here is a layout I did with my DT-kit from Scrap-Perra. The papers and embellies are mainly The Girl’s Paperie – Paper Girl. Loooove this stuff, and it was perfect for a layout about my sweet mom. Feminine and colorful, just like her!

The layout is about our our newly invented tradition – to go to crops together, in spring and autumn (or whenever Svensk Scrapbooking is having their Expos…). It’s so much fun, spending time together just the two of us (and all the other scrap crazy ladies…). If you want some close ups and product info in Swedish – it’s all on the Scrap-Perra blog in THIS post

I’m off for work! Have a great Thursday!

A fond farewell

I have been a part of A Page in Time’s amazing Design Team for two years and it’s been soooo much fun. I’ve learnt so much and had ooozes of fun with the lovely girls, both on the team and the forum participants, so it’s kind of sad to say good bye. But it’s time to move on and here is my last page as part of the team. It’s made as a sample for the October Challenge – to use themed paper for something else than that particular  theme.

'

I used the amazing Halloweenish Blackbird papers and chipboards from MME, which is part of the October kit. Love this stuff!!! The chippies are darling with some glitter on them!!! I love the cowboy, he is perfect for this page about my boy and the train robbery at the amusement park High Chapparall a couple of years ago. Have no fear, it all ended well with my boy shooting the bad guy! LOL!

I used Sketchy Thursday's November GDT sketch as inspiration. It's a GREAT sketch! For sure!

Oki doki. Thank you girls at A Page in Time! It's been fun, and I'll pop in and say hi on the forum!!!

I have a card to share too. I got a new package of goodies from Scrap-Perra last week, containing some AWESOME clear stamps - the Parisian Anthology from Pink Paislee (in joint venture with House of Three). And here is my card. Really simple, but with these beautiful stamp, less is more. I clear embossed them to get a more luxious glare and I'm quite happy with the result.

I have another layout on Scrap-Perra's blog using these stamps and some awesome The Girls' paperie papers and embellies. I'll blog it here tomorrow, but if you want a head start  :P  or some product information in Swedish, you can find it HERE.

Have a lovely Monday!

Super Sketchy Sunday!

Hi!!! Welcome to a new fun sketch and a new fun sponsored week with 365 card!!!

Our new generous sponsor is Catherine Pooler, Stampin’ Up!!! She gave the team goodies to play with AND she will donate a PRIZE to one lucky participant this week!

Now over to the sketch:

And here is my take, using Stampin’ Up’s card base, patterned paper and fabbie ribbon!!!

The stamps are from Prickley Pear’s Hot Air Balloon set and I also used the coordinated die.

Hop on over to the 365 Cards’ blog and check out all the fabbie cards done by the DT, and I do hope you play along with us!!!

***

I have another card with Prickley Pear stamps and die (The Ornaments set) to share. I did it earlier this week, but never came round to take a photo. It’s for Scraplagret’s Non traditional Christmas Challenge – to make a project using mainly pink, purple and/or turquoise colors.

I wish you a lovely Sunday!

Jag – en tårtpingla???

Heheee, jaaa, alltså, tydligen tycker man på Svensk Scrapbooking att jag är det. :):):) Tjohoo!!! Jag hade förmånen att vinna fyra utmaningar från förra helgens crop, OCH tillsammans med EmmLa bli utnämnd till croppens tårtpingla. Jag gillar tårtor!!! Stor lycka!!! Så jag tänkte att jag skulle blogga alla alster som ligger till grund för tårtpingleriet – 4 layouter, 4 kort och 2 alter. 3 har jag redan bloggat här, men de får vara med i alla fall.

Here are the projects I did last week at the Cyber Crop hosted by Svensk Scrapbooking. I won four challenges (YIHAA!!) AND I won the prize among the ladies who completed all 10 challenges. I got a great title which is totally not translatable!!! But it has something to do with cakes since it was a birthday crop. I can relate to cakes! For sure! Anyway, I’m over the moon and totally honored and I wanted to share all my projects from last weekend: 4 layouts, 4 cards and 2 altered projects.

Thanks for letting me share!!! :):):)

Have a fab weekend!!! I’ll be back tomorrow with Super Sketchy Sunday!

Time Flies

Time Flies – for sure! Where did 2010 go? It’s autumn already, cold and frosty when I woke up today. Had to light i fire this morning. Yikes!!!

365 cards is having a Prickley Pear sponsored week and I thought I’d play along every day. Well, bummer… I couldn’t manage yesterdays card at all. I tried doing that stupid stitching but ended up with a pinned finger and blood all over… Oh well, it was not meant to be. But I did do today’s Tuesday Trio: Gold, Leaf and Ribbon.

The stamps used are Clock Face and Wings and the sentiment Time Flies. Papers are MME, Lost and Found. Love this stuff!!! And the card is made for Kazan’s sketch #63 over at 2Sketches4You. It’s a GREAT one!!!

I have a layout to share too, it’s my little baker making ginger bread cookies. He is very dedicated to his task! :):):)  All products used are from Scrap-Perra and all details about them (in Swedish) and some close ups of the layout can be found on the Scrap-Perra blog in THIS post.

I love how this page came out, and it’s much thanks to the fab sketch from Page Maps.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Super Sketchy Sunday

This week is a fantastic week, when my favorite challenge blog teams up with my favorite stamp company. This is what i’d call a perfect match!!!

Super FUN!!! And Pam made us a gorgeous sketch to use when playing with fabbie red rubber.

I got the Autumn is a second spring and the Leaf Flourish stamps to play with. I teamed them up with some Riddersholm Design Fall papers.

You can check out the rest of the team’s creations using Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps in the 365 Cards blog. They are BEAUTIFUL!!! And I hope you will play along this week for your chance to wine some lovely rubber!!!

I’m Cyber Cropping like a mad woman this weekend over at Svensk Scrapbooking. I didn’t craft at all last week so I, and I have lots of new fun products so I’m highly motivated! Plus, the challenges are super inspiring!!! Here are two of the layouts I’ve done so far, both using the oh so lovely MME Alphabet Soup papers.

This is for a lift challenge. The original is AWESOME! But I sort of like my version too. This is from my first vacation as a fat 9 month baby. LOL!!! We spent every summer vacation at this place until I turned 13. And I really loved it though we didn’t have any electricity, indoor toilet or water in the house… It was pure adventure!

This page is made for the color challenge – to use A LOT of colors. And I think I did! The title reads “Free from sin”. We attended a Medieval fair this summer and met this, ehm… monk, or what ever he was. He sold letter of indulgence. Dad bought one for mom. Well, I don’t know… I thought it was way to cheap, and the promise it would last for the whole year to come sounded too good to be true – especially when reconsidering the price, 20 SEK, or less than $3

I’m heading back to my scrap table. Have a great Sunday!!!!

Two cards and happy mail days!!!

I’ve had this super busy week. Haven’t been home in daylight since Monday and haven’t made anything scrap related either. If it wasn’t because of a serious scrap itch, I’d hit the sofa for the rest of the evening. I do have two cards to share that I did Sunday and Monday. First up is a card for Mojo Monday’s sketch challenge #159.

I used a fabbie green Webster’s pages paper and a new Prickley Pear stamp called A wish for peace.

The second card was made on the Crop last week. I used the new Riddersholm Design Christmas papers and another stamp from the last Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps release, Mary and Baby Jesus.

I tried a new folding since I had the expert of making these cards opposite of me on the crop – Cath. She helped both me and mom out, and this is my result.

I’ve had some happy mail days lately too! I got a birthday card and present from my lovely bloggy friend Li-bee ti:

She used my favorite color combo, and lookie – more crochet flowers!!! And I got a blog candy from sweet Julie!!! Nikki Sivils papers and burlap buttons!!! And a super fun card!!!

AND, today I got a surprise RAK card and clear stamps from amazing Amy. I’m one lucky girl!!!!

Thank you girls, you are the BEST!!! and your mail totally brighten my some what gloomy week up A LOT!!!

Have a fab weekend!!! It IS Friday!!! Wohooo!!! Let the free time BEGIN!

Deer Friend

I bought a couple of new stamp sets at the Scrapbook Expo I attended this weekend. Sooooo I thought I’d ink one of them up and make a card using Kazan’s sketch #62.

And here is the sketch I used:

Talking about shopping…. I’ve got a couple of questions about what I bought, so here is a photo of the pile.

I bough a new trimmer. I’ve had a Fiskars with no ruler marks for ages so with my new orange beauty I’ll start a new life. I’m also happy about my new corner punch and my new Martha Stewart Edge punch. I also got the Alphabet Soup kit, and the October Afternoon Seaside papers. And quite a few of the MME Lost and Found. I alos had the fortune to win one of the challenges (to scrap a group photo of all the scrappy ladies, I blogged it yesterday) and got a nice prize sponsored by Scraplagret.

It’s Cosmo Crickets Material Girl and Garden Variety papers. Yummy!!! I’ll have some serious fun with all of this. That’s for sure!!!

Super Sketchy Sunday

Hi folks! Hope you are having a great weekend and that you had a fun World Card Making Day yesterday!!!

365 cards have a new sketch and a new fun sponsor this week – The Character Café! They have loads of fun digis!

I’ve been away all weekend, and I had to make my card in advance so I’m not using any of their digital stamps on my card. Here is the fun sketch for today:

And my sample card:

The stamp is from Prickley Pear and is called 50s lady. 

Go check out the 365 cards blog for DT samples using the images from The Character Café!

I’ve been on a Crop and Expo all weekend with my wonderful mom  and we’ve had a blast. Loads and loads of shopping and talking, and some scrapbooking. But not much… I did make a couple of layouts and one card. Here is the layout I did today, with all the lovely ladies on the crop

I love these MME papers!!! I used the Inspired Blueprint’s sketch #57. It’s a great one!!!

I have to go unpack and make some dinner for my boys. Thanks for stopping by!
