Happy Halloween!!

I'm ready for a sooktacular night - halloween - with lots of creepy monsters asking for treats around each corner. I've stocked up with tons of treats and I'll put up the welcome sign on my front door, light my lanterns outside so all the kids in the neighborhood will know they are welcome :)
Later tonight I'll be off to a friends house for a great "dress up" party - and what'll be better than bringing a box of spooky pumpkin-chocolates ;) BOO!

Have a great night!

Silver minialbum

Here are some pictures from a totally fun class I recently tought at Minnehjørnet (my LSS in Ski ). Thank you all you wonderful, talented ladies that attended my class, one of the "students" even drove all the way from Dokka (2,5 hours by car one way) to attend my class. That really made me SO happy!!. I really had a blast teaching this album-class, and I'm so looking foreward to have this class once again on oct.29th :) :)

Her er bilder fra et kurs "sølvalbum" jeg hadde på Minnehjørnet i Ski forrige uke. Det var et hærlig kurs med masse glade, flinke, inspirerende damer. TUSEN takk for at dere kom og ville leke med meg!

For de av dere som syns dette ser ut som noe som kan være spennende å lære: Dette kurset holder jeg også TORSDAG 29 oktober på Minnehjørnet. Kontakt Minnehjørnet kontakt@minnehjornet.no for påmelding og mer informasjon.

Hi! Finally back after a wonderful weekend filled with scrapbooking, classes, crop, friends, laughter and loads of inspiration. I had a wonderful time at the gathering in Ski. Thanks to all you amazing ladies that attended my minibook class and the 3ndypapir "god jul" class. It was all totally fun and inspiring and awesome :) You can see the Cosmo Cricket minibook we created here :)

Lene and I had a wonderful time teaching our "god jul" (merry christmas) -class using all brand new 3ndypapir christmas papers. And even if it was way too early in the morning for us to teach, we had a blast. Thanks to all you wonderful ladies that came to our class. All your sweet words and love for our papers make our hearts smile :) :) You can view all the projects from this class here:

And: Last but not least: NEW challenge is up over at Lotus paperie. Please come join the fun!!! I made this LO with pictures pf my DH in our old wooden boat. I love to see him like this - relaxing in the boat. he loves the sea and this old boat from 1954 - and he puts so much time and effort to keep it "shine" :)

Have a great day you all!

Hi all. Hope you enjoy the beautiful days of fall. Today I have enjoyed creating alot. So if you are up to some scrappy fun this weekend make sure you pop by LOTUS paperie and join our latest challenge: #145 "add a little color to your handwritten journaling". :)
I so loved this challenge, and it finally made me dig into my long forgotten colorful gelrollers. :) it also reminded me to actually WRITE something on my LO.

Gratitude

Jessica chose this weeks word up over at One Little word: GRATITUDE.
She has written some wonderful thoughts on this word and the team shows the most beautiful LOs. This time we are so lucky to have Cosmo Cricket as our sponsor so make sure you come over to the OLW blog to join the fun, and link up your gratitude-LO for your chance to win some awesome Cosmo-products :)
I'm SO happy when I see my fellow norwegian scrappers joing OLW-challenges. Thank you!! You all make me so proud! Some of you have mentioned it is a bit strange to use english
- so I just wanted to tell you - feel free to use whatever language you like. the word is meant for inspiration - and for starting the creative process.
Hope you find this word up inspiring. I did. I love this word - gratitude - and I found I have SO many things to be grateful for. I'm grateful for today, for my life, my kids, my husband, my friends, all the people that have shown me so much love trough my life, I'm grateful for being part of wonderful, inspiring teams, for having a blog - and blogreaders like you. Thank you for leaving nice, heartwarming comments. You all make my day.

mSB bloghop and WELCOME Liz Jacob

Welcome to the mSB bloghop to introduce you to our new design team members, all so talented, wonderful ladies.

I am the lucky one to introduce you to Liz Jacob. WELCOME to the "neighborhood" Liz!! I'm so honored and happy to have you as "my guest" and to welcome you to the mSB team here on my blog.

Make sure you all visit Liz' wonderful, inspiring blog too. :)

Here is what Liz have to say about herself:

"My name is Liz Jacob and I currently live in Hamburg, Germany. I am the mother of two girls (aka Trouble #1 and #2) and a big ole' puppy named Rajah. I am too close to 40 to be happy about it, because half the time I feel like I am just a kid. By profession I am a tax attorney, and I started scrapping and stamping as a creative outlet from my boring grown-up life. After all, too much creativity in tax accounting seems to be frowned upon. Usually I sort of scrap "from the gut". It's a process... and the finished project hardly ever looks like I envisioned it in the beginning. I draw most of my inspiration from colors, whether I find a particular paper that I want to use or certain colors in the pictures. I love mixing and matching all kinds of colors and patterns. Other than that, I am obsessed with shoes and baking.

Cupcakes anyone? "
