best friends

 This post is all about "friends layouts".

Because what is life without friends? I'm so lucky to have some really wonderful, nice, lovely friends. And nothing makes me happier than when my best friends kids are best friends with my kids. How awesome is that!!

These layouts are inspired by two of the challenges at the Cocoa daisy Cyber crop.

both layouts are about friendship, about people I love.

It feels good to create layouts about good memories.

Wish you were here!

Now, thank you my dear blogfriends, I really love you too!! And your visits on my blog and your sweet comments mean a lot to me.

Have a great day.

Cocoa Daisy Layouts

 Hi friends.

It has been a busy week here in Oslo, with our national day celebration on may 17th, and all kinds of things happening at school, a shoot for a commercial movie, and the rebuilding of my kitchen and doorway and windows...

I so wanted to attend the Cocoa Daisy Cyber Crop last weekend. Luckily I managed to join a bit ... most chat, but also a few layouts.  So glad we are able to still finish up and upload the layouts for the crop before the 22nd.  :)

The above layout is pictures of Sol.  She created her own little book and made up a story she wrote in the book. And then she read it all to me.

I created this layout with room for the book and pictures of her. :)

The other layouts are of my girls, and one layout from the beautiful food markets in Stockholm.  :)

Thanks for popping by, and have a great weekend! :)

And dont forget to leave your comment on this post for your chance to attend in my 100000 visitors celebration.  :)

Capturing moments

 Our family was so lucky to get free tickets to the fair "tusenfryd" from our neighbor.

I went there with Eirun and Iver, and we had the best time.

I even got some cool snapshot with my beloved hipstamatic app.

I'm really into these "grungy" looking little pictures lately. It makes it so fun and easy to document and capture little moments of life.

This layout is made using all patterned paper from my wonderful Cocoa daisy "central park" kit.

:)

I created a envelope with room for a large tag with journaling, and even more photos.

thanks for stopping by.

120th birthday and some scrapbooking-love

Today my grandmother asta would have had her 120th birthday.

We had a nice lunch and planted some beautiful flowers at her grave.

She was a wonderful person, and all I remember of her is lots of laughter, love and warmth.

She loved parties, and had lots of friends even in her old age.

This day made me dig in to my really old pictures. Love these little, old treasures. 

Here are three of my pictures:

upper left: (Granma) Farmor Asta and me ca 1976

upper right: Asta ca 1938

low: Asta with the Black hat up left, her mother ( my great grandmother) in the middle and my dad, the little boy with dark hair,  on the first stair (right)  ca 1930.

 Now on to a bit scrapbooking.

I created this layout with pictures from the fair (tusenfryd tivoli) last summer.

My girls really had the best time ever.  :)

This layout was inspired by this months challenge over at Cocoa Daisy and a sketch challenge by Donna Jannuzzi at Ella Publishing blog.

Thanks for stopping by!

easter, summer, breakdown, layouts and just little bits and pieces of life....

Hi my friends.

Hope some of you are still here..... it has been a while... yes, I know.

My computer had a breakdown during easter.

Luckily Hubby solved the problems when the store opened and he could buy a couple of new discs.

:)

The week of Easter was so good. BUSY but good.

Lots of kids around the house. It was so nice to make a happy, cozy easter celebration for my kids and all their little guests.

The weather in Oslo has ben the best ever.

FINALLY after the long, long cold winter easter brought us almost real summer.

This layout was made for this months challenge over at Cocoa Daisy, using the CD april kit. LOVE it!

Pictures from a little bike ride with Eirik and Sol during easter break.

I created this layout

a while back for the great "words and perspectives" project over at Sue Myldes blog.

I was SO happy to be invited as one of her special guests.

My word is Life.

You can read more about my journaling and perspective HERE.

Make sure you visit sues blog and look trough all the wonderful, inspiring layouts and artists that have participated in the words and perspectives project.

 The layout below is made for this weeks sketch # 235 over at Pencil Lines Sketch blog.

Used my favorite Cosmo Cricket patterned paper for this project.

Picture of Sol and Momo, at Sols birthday.

Machine stitched the heart on top of all the paper strips.

 Crazy isn't it....

Here are two little pictures from our summery easter  :)
