Sketch inspiration

Hi friends, and happy weekend.

the weather in Oslo have been grey and rainy today.

More fit for indoor scrapbooking than outdoor activities....LOL Good for me :)

This weekend I was inspired by a wonderful sketch by Virginia Tillery, and the sketch-challenge over at the Lily Bee blog.

I have played with my glimmer mists on the beautiful "resist" paper by House of 3 and Pink Paislee, along with bits and pieces of the lovely Lily bee papers, chipboard-embellishments and rub-ons.

I printed some paragraphs about our dear girl Sol on to the backing of the Lily Bee Rub-ons packaging.

The journaling is about how Sol is right now, when she turned 9.

Sol actually means sun in norwegian. And she is truly the sunshine of our life :)

I had so much fun creating this layout.

So if you are as much in love with Lily Bee as I am - make sure you go to the Lily Bee Blog and join this great challenge :)

Happy weekend.

Birthday Photos

Some favorite shots from her big day :)

Happy Birthday Sol!!!

Today my little baby girl turns 9.

I can't believe it!!!

Happy, happy birthday dear Sol!

The sunshine in our family.

The happy, playful, kind, lovely, caring girl.

We wish you a wonderful day and all the best for your year.

TWO cards are made for Sol today. And what could be better than a princess in her garden and a happy, happy raggedy Ann.

Both images are from the brand new Pixie Dust collection "british invation" that have its release today. :)

Will be back - hopfully in better shape - real soon.

Today I spendt the day at home with Sol.
She has catched a cold. Poor girl.
Even tho she managed to play at a wonderful concert this evening.
Sol and edwin played with two brass ensebles at the music shool here in Oslo today.
It feels so good to see them love their music so much.

Tomorrow we'll be off to tante Elins 75th birthday. All she wanted as a gift was us giving her some music - so our family band will play at the party.
So looking forward to that.
:)
As we had a nice and cozy day at home I managed to create some little projects too.

The above layout are made for this months challenge over at
Cocoa Daisy.
It was all about using a quote ....
I found this house with the quote on at Pintrest, and fell in love emmediately. The perfect "note to self" for me ;)

Thje other little project is just a sneak peek of my Step-by-step project coming up over at the
Cosmo Cricket blog
on saturday.
Make sure you stop by for some fun inspiration :)

Have a great weekend!

Loved this sketch, created by Lisa.

I can see spring :)

Today has been a wonderful day here in Oslo.

Finally spring seems to find it's way here up north.

The snow is all slippery and wet, and the sun has been bright and warm. I had my lunch outside my favorite local café, and it was so good to feel the sun on my face and hear the little birds sing :) :

Here are some of my MLS-projects for this month.
These papers are all so happy and bright - they all bring a smile on my face. :)

You can see more of my projects on the MLS blog.

"Håndlaga 2011" and a challenge :)

Hi

More snow in Oslo today.

This winter seems like it will never come to an end...

Still over 1 1/2 feet snow in my garden....

Now, well .... days are at least longer and lighter now.

...

Yes, I'm starting to long for spring...

Feels good to create some bright, spring-inspired cards :)

This card is for this weeks challenge over at

Pixie Dust Challenge blog.

:)

Håndlaga 2011 is a blog and a contest for all norwegian designed things and all things handmade.

You can nominate norwegian designed items

( like spesific papers from 3ndypapir for example ;) )

spesific handmade things (norwegian )

or (norwegian)blogs featuring handmade things.

Love this idea. How fun would that be to be featured on a blog / contest like this.

So please, if you love some of the 3ndypapir products - or my blog for that sake,

go ahead and nominate.

:)

You can find all the details

here

(you should probably use google translate if you don't read norwegian language ;) )

Thanks for popping by.

:)

I'm alive..... :)

Hi my friends.

Wow! days are running by so extremely fast.

This weekend and the past couple of days was filled with music,

a real ball ( dance with original baroque dresses and winer waltz ),

a concert with the best violinist in Norway; Henning Kraggerud , lots of practising with the orchestra in beforehand of course.

I love my music.

Love to work with so amazingly talented people.

Lucky me!!

I also managed to do one more of my absolute favorite activities:

a Scrapbooking crop in Ski.

Love to meet my crafty, super talented, fun, gorgeous, happy, warm hearted, lovely friends.

Love to laugh, talk and create.

I had so much fun!!

And .... I managed to create 5 layouts!!!

not bad, eh ?

here are two of them:

The above layout are pictures from my instamatic

Just little glimpses of my march 2011

This layout is some pictures of Sol with one of her favorite teddys.

Used some of my all time fave Lily Bee products on this.

:)

Will show the other layouts later, when I've added some little journaling and so on ...

:)

And last but not least:

Today is the very day for sneak peeks for the upcoming

Pixie Dust Studio Release.

This friday Pixie Dust will host a blog hop for your chance to win this entire collection.

So make sure you head back here on friday!! :)

see you!

More New York and Moonbeam release

Hi my friends.

I have been playing with some more of my photos from New York lately.

Love how this picture from the wintery city turned out.

Played with a resist designer paper by house of three and my bottle of mists, rubons, little pieces of patterned paper...oh, I LOVE IT!!.

:)

Today is the big day for the Moonbeam release over at
Pixie Dust Studio.
Check out these über cute images!

Cocoa challenge and Moonbeam sneak peek

Have been creating some little things this weekend.

I so enjoy my paper craft between peeking in on the computer to cheer on the norwegian skiers and skijumpers in the ski world cup in Oslo.

:)

I created the layout above for this months sketch over at cocoa daisy.

:)And now on to the sneak peek on the super cute NEW collection "moonbeam"

from Pixie Dust studio.

All the images are so wonderful, and I can't wait to show you more on the release day march 1st.

Have a great sunday.

XOXO

in stitches.... :)

Inspired by my incredibly talented friend, Hanne, I have been sewing a bit lately.

One handbag (I'll show you later ) and this little purse.

Actually I love to sew, but It is way too long since I played with my favorite fabric and sewing machine.

THIS challenge over at Pixie Dust gave me the kick to make this purse.

It will be perfect for little girls on summer vacation.

:) :) The super Cute girl is a digi stamp from Pixie Dust studios, printed on to a transfer sheet and ironed on to the un-bleached cotton fabric before sewing the bag.

the super cute flower fabric and the yellow fabric are both some of my fave fabrics by Cosmo Cricket. :)

NOW we are enjoying the Winter break with lots of time off, having just the best time....

the ski world cup is here ( in Oslo ) and we enjoy it all! :)

Happy weekend!!

xo

OH, and not to forget:

Make sure you go to

Taylors blog

to see if you are amongst the winners of the viritual Valentines blog hop

Inspired

Hi my friends.

Hope you all have had a good week so far.

This week is last week before schools winter break here in Oslo, and we are all looking forward to a wintery week off. :)

I have been inspired by so many things lately.

I found (trough my friend Sue ) this wonderful place:

Pintrest,

where you can pin up inspiring pictures.

This place makes me happy :)

I have been inspired by the beautiful Cosmo Cricket papers and a great challenge over at Cocoa daisy, to create these two layouts.

I made these hearts...sort of by accident.... LOL

But LOVE how they turned out with crackle paint and epoxy. :)

Had a mini photo shoot with me and Eirun a few weeks ago.

She is the sweetest girl, and we have so much fun together. :)

I feel so blessed to be her mom.

(and the mom of all my 4 kids, actually.... :) :) )

Have a great weekend.

XO

Winter

It is still ice cold, white winter here in Oslo.

And, yes, we still enjoy it :)

The kids love the snow, and enjoy the lighter, longer days in february, playing outdoor in the snow.

the girls created this super cute snowman outside our front door.

He is welcoming everybody that comes to our door.

And tha good thing is, because of the cold days he'll probably have a long and good life, bringing smiles to our cold winter faces :)

To create this layout I have used patterned paper and rubons from Lily Bee, Love their happy colorful design.

Digital stuff from Ali Edwards :)

Thanks for stopping by.
