But I love them!! :)

Simon says stamp has a weekly challenge blog, this week its "things with wings", perfect!!
Heres my card:

Eat to much good thai food and watched movies and talked cameras.. I really really want to get a good camera and Yngve is the guy to talk too! Im not much wiser atm.. but Im getting there! :)
Im going to make him teach me everything when I finally make up my mind and buy one!

Sooo anyway, I love all his photos, and I secretly made a portfolio for him with a few of the shots I've managed to steal from him :P
I only scrapped the first page with my photos of him, and let his photos speak for themself in the actuall portfolio.

I made this at KOMA too, for a image-inspiration challenge. And now when he's got his present I can show you too!

Im back and alive after this weekends superdupermega fun crop!
KOMA stands for KOlbäcks pyssel MAraton (KOlbäcks craft MAraton) and is a weekend of pure heaven!
34 girls in different ages meet in Kolbäck to crop with paper, beads, sewing etc.
It started on friday at ended at sunday afternoon, most people (myself included) sleep at the same place as the crop, some goes home over night.
We have our own very talented chef, how about fresh baked bread for every meal?! He makes so good food its incredible!! And this year we were also offered massages from a trained proffesionall!
Do I need to say how popular this event is? I will be returning year after year!
But the best part is the people! I've met so many talented and kind girls there! And I miss them so already!
Can't wait until the next KOMA!!

This is one of the LOs I made during the weekend.. it was made after a glas or two of vine, and I kinda just went with the flow.. :) The picture is me beeing goofy after a few drinks, so the occasion was very timed to scrap it :)

Hi everybody!
ho ho ho! I've been having so much fun playing around with my new toys!! :)
Here comes a very bright and colourfull layout from me!
I found this old picture of me and my friend Chris, aka Buffy and Mago as our crimefighting aliases!
Well I dont think we ever did much crimefighting.. but whenever we got ourselves in trouble it was always easy to blame Buffy and Mago.. cause we are such good girls otherwise!!

The picture is from one of my parties in my old student flat.. It might even be the last one?
And our dresses match! I remeber it as it was an accident! We look so colourfull and happy!




I used the graphic 45 line On the boardwalk, tatterd angels glimmer mist a tim holtz mask, crackle paint and grungeboard, some new prima flowers, flowers from wildorchidcrafts, some lace and other bits and pieces from my stash.

Ok, can I pleeeeeeeeaseeee have some summer now?
KTHXBAI!!

Theres a swedish song that goes something like this:
"Han går som en karl
Han ser ut som en karl.... "
Roughly translated : "He walks like a guy, he looks like a guy.."
Karl in swedish means guy/man etc.. and my brothers name is Carl.. so its a pun.. I just couldnt help it :)

I've been playing with some new graphic 45 papers, A perfect gentleman in this one!
Love them! ♥

Soon we're going to be totaly snowed in!! Everytime I take the dog out for a walk I have to force my way through newly fallen snow.. and it keeps coming.. I want spring!!!

..why to scrapbook (if not for all the gorgeous products out there) is simple,
you get to keep memories and family history and pass it on.
Mostly I dont take this hobby that serious, I just do it because its fun, I get to make something pretty and I find it peacegiving to work with my hands and to create.
But these photos I have wanted to preserve somehow.
They've been fading away in my parents albums for soon 30 years, so I took a digital photo of them, tried to edit them to look as good as possible, and then I just had to scrap them!

I dont remember the 2 eldest ladies in the photos, and this is the only photo I've found of them with me.
So I need to keep them!

Anyway, back to scrap-business! :)
Pink Paislee has a sketch competition going on, last date to enter is 15 march so still plenty of time!
The only rule is to be inspired by the sketch AND use your favourite PP products. Read more at their site!

Easy peasy! I LOVE sketches, and I LOVE PP! ANd my alltime favourite line is amber road.. its just sooo gorgeous and the pages scrap themselves!

Heres the sketch by Valerie Salmon:


I flipped it 'coz it worked better with my photos, here's my take:


2*4 Generations

There I am, my first christmas 1980!
Top photo: me, my dad, his mother and her mother.
Photo 2: me, my dad, his dad and his mother

Its just me, my dad and my grandmother still alive and I so wish I could have gotten to know the others better.
My grandfather died when I was 12, and I still miss him heartbreakingly much!

Details:


Prima vine cut in 2, Kaiser bling, thickers, and the papers are as said PP Amber Road ♥

.. för många är ju godis och snacks att stoppa i munnen..
Jag vill hellre ha detta godiset:



Kolla kolla bara vad mycket fint ScrapGalen lottar ut!!!
Sluuuuuurp!!!

ooh, I love this kit!
It looks hard to work with at first.. since Im not that big fan of bright colors..
But they just fit so well with eachother! Lovely!
 



First time in a loooong time I havn't done piles of flower.. Now they're more scattered, but I wanted the feel of something diagonal to the rest that is so square. Yada yada!!


Details:



Hope you all had a wounderful Valentines day! I did!!!
A lot of snuggeling and spending time in the sofa watching movies and eating chocolate!
Just the way its supposed to be!
