Hi my dear blog friends.

Long time no see.

Life has been crazy around here lately.

I have been in Austria - had the best time ever -

teaching some workshops, meeting wonderful people, eating yummy food ....

Here are some little glimpses

Pixie of OZ sneak and trip to Austria

Hello my friends.

Tomorrow is the day for the new release of the digi stamp collection "Pixie from OZ" from Pixie Dust studio.

These images are SO cool, and I promise, if you go to the pixie shop you'll find SO many verstile, fun, super cute digi stamps.

:)

Enjoy these little sneaks

:)

Early Tomorrow morning I'm off to Austria, to scrapQueens to teach 4 workshops.

I'm so Excited!!

:)

So If you've wondered why I have been a bit absent, the answer is: I have been preparing for my workshops.

Now I'll have to pack my bags and get ready.

:)

I'll leave you with my last sneak of the Pixie Dust release - that are my contribution to this weeks Pixie Challenge as well.

Make sure you go over to the Pixie Challenge blog and join the fun.

:)

See you next week.

HUGS

My sunshine :)

Hi friends.

Hope you are all fine.

Days are crazy and busy around my house.

As you know I'm working on my kitchen.

Right now I'm here with 4 kids, no stove, the fridge in front of the sofa in the living room, all the kitchen utensils in boxes around the house, no running water ( except in the bathroom ).

Yea, Life is good, isn't it!  :p

Now well

...

it eventually will be good

I just have to work on it 

...

I have now sanded the kitchen floor with a huge sanding machine, and I'm working on the coating with a special oil coating.

The carpenter is working on the kitchen cupboards and will finish them in time.

It will all be good!

:) :) :)

Now on to this weeks sketch challenge over at the 

Pencil Lines sketch blog.

Sketch 241 is up with special guest Sarah Jane - and sposored by her company Little Musings.

I had a lot of fun playing with these super cute digital stamps.

My layout is all about my little sunshine - the happy, creative, wonderful girl in my life.

She brings me so much joy.

And she LOVEs to write.

She writes little books, little stories and little love notes for all of us in the family. :)

This layout was made today.

LOVE this picture of  these fun, happy, wonderful boys.

I'm sure they will be something big one day.

:)

One actor - one musician

;)

This layout will probably be the foundation for a class I will teach in Austria in september :) :) :)

Thanks for popping by!

Have a great week!!

I have made some decisions :)

Hi My friends.

I mentioned a few weeks ago I wanted to have a class with lots of christmas inspiration starting this month before christmas.

I have been working really hard on this.

I have made printables, created patterns for giftboxes and giftbags, made different kind of stuff, gifts, cards....

Then I redecided.

...

I didn't want to have a class.

It will be all stressful and I will put too much pressure on my self (being my own hardest judge). And All I want is this beeing inspirational and fun.

...

And the best way making this all just fun and good is doing what I have done the last couple of years:

Make my christmas"class" free for you all here on my blog.

Last year I called my free christmas inspirational posts here on my blog "home for Christmas".

It will be like a free month long class, filled with lots of christmas-inspiration, gift-ideas and love for Christmas.

This will ( hopefully ) be a good gift for you my wonderful, lovely blogfriends.

Hope to see you 'round, as I'll start nov 24th.

Posting Christmas stuff at least twice a week.

I'll make a special badge for these posts, so you won't miss them. ;)

If you want to buy some of the papers I've used for my projects, you can buy the special Christmas bundle I've put together on Etsy.

This is all 3ndypapir, 3 of each paper from "hilsen gudrun" collection, and 2 of teach of the tree papers from "favorites". (this is for internatonal girls only!)

You Norwegian Gils can buy your 3ndypapir papers in your local LSS or at my Epla shop. :)

Working like a dog ... :)

Hi my friends.

Finally I'm in for just one second to say Hi! :)

Guess you kinda wonder why I'm not around here on my blog these days.

Well to be honest ... days are really, really busy.

Great but busy!

:) As you can see I'm getting ready for my Three upcoming classes this week.

One class in Moss at Anitas Hobby tomorrow, One in Drøbak, at Annes Keramikk friday and one in Ski, at Minnehjørnet saturday.

Hope to see some of the local girls there! :) :)

Here is one little project we'll make at the Cristmas inspirational classes.

We'll make 5 little projects in the class - so this will be SO much fun.

:)

I really love Christmas, and creating cards and giftbags and other things really makes me happy. :)

I have been thinking about having a

christmas inspirational online class

( in english ) this year.

It will probably be from nov. 15th to dec 15th.

I'm planning on sharing one project every day monday to friday.

I have made some printables, some fun templates and cute Cristmas ideas to share.

More info on this later this week, or early next week.

Please let me know if you are intrested.

This will be a "no kit" class.so you will just recieve the axcess to the class-blog.

The price for one full month of class, printables, ideas and so on will be 300,- NOK

Hope to see you there! :)

Oh, and I almost fell of my chair today when I headed in to

2 peas gallery

and found my " du og jeg" LO at todays featured layout.

I'm one big smile :) :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great week

There and back again ...

Hi my friends.

Back home after the most wonderful journey.

I tell you, my trip to Mykonos, Greece was SO exciting and wondferful.

Being able to meet people that are SO dedicated to scrapbooking and photography, talking to people from so many places, create together with people that love to create as much as I do.

Meet friends, get new friends, stay at a beautiful hotel, getting the best service and food ever ... just feeling good

and

being able to teach amongst the most well known scrapbooking teachers and most incredibly talented people.

I was SO honored to have my little mini clas, teaching the girls my 3ndypapir minialbum.

And as I LOVE to teach this was a wonderful experience.

My first time teaching in english ...

all the ladies and boy :) attending my class were all pure kindness :) and we had great fun. :) You can find more pictures and a written step-by-step instruction on this album at the 3ndypapir blog

I'll be back soon with some of the projects I created at the event too :)

Hi my friends.

Here are some pictures of the filefolder album we created in my class in Trondheim

This mini is jampacked with painting techniques, little creative albums and ideas, and It was SO much fun teaching. :) :)

Thank you to all the wonderful talented girls that attended my class.

I put alot of time and effort in to create my classes, and fill them with ideas and techniques.

I love to share and inspire ( and get a lot of inspiration from my students! :) :) )

Happy and colorful

Hi all.

It has been a wonderful, sunny week in oslo this early september.

Love these warm, beautiful days in the beginning of fall, when it's still a little bit left of the summer.

I have been playing with my Little Shoebox papers lately. LOVE these colorful, happy papers. They always seems to make me smile - and spark my creative mind :)

Yesterday was my first day at the MLS blog.

WOW, I feel SO honored to be a part of this wonderful team :) :)

I made these little notebooks for my girls using the oh so cute "summer breeze" line.

just have to love the little birds. :)

Had to make a layout about my little cupcake maker too :)

the super-cute banners was perfect for this layout. :)

I was SO happy to get TWO wonderful punches by fiskars ( the little daisy punch, and the beautiful border punch) to use on the books and the layout as well. :)

The rest of this week will probably be über-busy ( so please forgive me if I'm not much around on my blog) with packing and shipping the new 3ndypapir christmas line to all the shops around Norway, Sweeden, the Netherlands......and everywhere else...

I will also get ready for my two classes in Trondheim this upcoming weekend at Trøndersaksa (a local crop / gathering).

I'm so looking forward to go to Trondeim - I'm sure it will be LOTS of fun :) :)

Happy week

Handmade

Yes, as most of you, my friends, probabbly know already, I LOVE to make stuff. And what can make me happier than seeing my little girls love to make stuff too. :D

Pictures on this layout shows Sol with her handmade "sitting-mat". She is so proud, she felted and sewed it all by her self. Just too cute :)

This layout was inspired by last weeks color combo over at The Color Room. :)

Alot of hand-stetiched elements on this layout.

If you live in Oslo / akershus area I'll have a "hand-steitching"-class at minnehjørnet in Ski
june 3rd. We'll do alot of fun stitching on paper in this class :)

I would love to see you there!

Classes

Hi my friends

Hope you have had a wonderful week.

My week has been busy, busy, but fun.

Still working on shipping all the packages of 3ndypapir to all the retailers around Norway, Sweden, Iceland etc.

I have had alot of classes this week too - one every second day :) I love to teach, so these scrapbooking-and papercrafting classes makes me all happy.

Last weekend I attended the large Crop / gathering in Ski, and I had a blast, teaching, scrapbooking laughing, being with friends. GOOD TIMES!

:)

I had one class at Minnehjørnet early this week, and I will have one class at Steffens tomorrow.

Yesterday I went to Moss, I had so much fun teaching for a group of wonderful people there :)

They all wanted me to put out pictures and templates for the stuff we made in this class.

So without further ado, here it goes.

ENJOY!!

:)

I have put alot of love, time and effort into all my creations and templates.

Some of the templates are made by me, and some are other peoples work of art.

These templates are for PERSONAL USE ONLY!

Please don't use them for magazines, books or other commercial use without permission!

All papers used for these projects are by 3ndypapir

:)

busy, happy thursday

Hi my friends.

It's still snowy and grey in Oslo. So if you plan on visiting the capital of norway....save you plans for a day in may or june....when the city will smile again after this vinter-sleep.... ;)

LOL

Well, I love this city, where I was born, anyhow. I love it winter or summer....

But as I am a summer-person, I rather show you my city wearing a summer dress.

This little album is a tribute to Oslo - the way I like to see it.

I'll use this album in a class this spring too

"rett på"

I'll teach this class at Minnehjørnet (Ski) february 4th.

:)

Hope to see some of you, my norwegian friends there.

Have a great day.
