Breaks my heart...

but I will no longer be a part of the team at the community Svensk Scrapbooking. I haven't been able to do my share of the work over there for a while, and that's not fair to the rest of the girls in the team. So I decided to step back. It wasn't an easy decision, after all Svensk Scrapbooking was my first "home" on the internet, the first community I found when I started looking, and I will always consider it my home.

I consider you, teamgirls, my best friends on the internet, and I will miss chattering with you a lot. But dont forget, I'll always stick around as your "hangaround"

♥♥♥♥♥

Just a quick post today...

...with this layout I made for a challenge at Svensk Scrapbooking. It was sweet Anna who challenged the rest of us girls in the design team to make a layout with handmade paper decorations. So this is what I made.
I'm sorry for the poor quality of the photo, but it's not easy to photograph layouts in the middle of the night, which was what I made with this one :)

So now I'm heading out in the sunny and warm weather. See you!

Scrappy update!

Finally I have some scrappy things to show you. I've been creating a lot between Christmas and New Year's eve, but most of it has been things I haven't been able to show. But at least I can show you these today.

We have a monthly challenge over at Svensk Scrapbooking, and this month, Handstämplat sponsored us with a beautiful winterkit. I did get a little trouble there, because there hasn't been any winter here, really. Well, it has been cold, but there's no snow! I have a few old winter photos, but I've scrapped them over and over again, and I didn't feel like scrapping them once more. But then on Christmas day I was going to take the garbage out, and I saw this beautiful winter sky when I opened the door. I went back in and took the camera and snapped a few shots, and I used one of them for a layout about the absence of winter down here.
The flowers are made from white mulberry paper, which I've cut with my slice (don't do it if you're short of adhesive, though, because a brand new layer didn't last for more than three cuttings with this paper...), crumbled up a little and layered on top of each other.

There were a few Maja Design papers in the kit too. I really like Maja Design, and I use them alot for altered stuff like this little mini. Yeah, well, there might be some snow later, and the kids might be able to play in the snow, if not this winter, maybe next, or so, so I made this one without photos.Here's a little dangling thingy for the wire. It was one of those that got me started with the bracelet in my previous post.

I've made room for photos, and there's room for journaling on the tags sticking out from behind the photo mats.

I'll be posting some more Bind-It-All-projects shortly, and speaking of Bind-It-All, I'll be posting at the Bind-It-All blog this month together with Jennifer. Don't forget to check in there once in a while, because there's lot of stuff going on.

Happy 2009 to all of you!

Cybercrop

There's a Cybercrop this weekend at my favourite forum, Svensk Scrapbooking. It's a bunch of shop owners who have arranged this crop, and there were loads of amazing challenges! I'm almost ashamed since I didn't have time to do more than three challenges. But I've also been working hard on some other projecs this weekend.

This is for a sketch challenge, and I decided to scrap a few pirate photos of Albin. I've used up a bunch of old papers, and that's always nice :) Isn't he a cool little pirate?
The next one is for a challenge where you were supposed to scrap about a fall journey. I made this layout about the journey I always make into fall. I brought my camera for a walk with the kids earlier today, and the sun came out of the clouds just as I passed this beautiful maple tree. Speaking of beautiful, these BG Granola papers are just amazing, don't you think?

Månadsutmaning på Svensk Scrapbooking!

Vår månadsutmaning på Svensk Scrapbooking är i full gång, och månadens tema är LYCKA. Ni förstår säkert att lyckan var fullkomlig när ett sponsorpaket från JP Hobby fullt med produkter från Basic Greys Euphoria dök upp. Jag ♥ BG... Kan inte få nog av det, och den här serien var helt fantastisk, som vanligt. Vilka färger!!!!!

Our monthly challenge at Svensk Scrapbooking is up, and the theme of the month is HAPPINESS. Of couse I was really happy when the kit from our sponsor showed up full of things from Basic Grey's Euphoria line. I ♥ BG... I can't get enough of it, and this line was as fab as usual. The colours were wonderful.

Det första jag gjorde var en sparbössa för lyckopengar. / the first thing I made was a money-box for lucky pennies.

Jag ville också göra ett minialbum för att försöka få med så mycket produkter som möjligt, men jag har redan en egen lyckobok, så jag gjorde en till min syster den här gången. Jag har lämnat plats för journaling.

I also wanted to make a minibook, to fit in as much of the goodies as possible, but I have already made a book of happiness for myself, so this time I made one for my sister. I left the journaling for her to fill in.

Jag visar bara ett par uppslag, för Blogger verkar ha ätit upp de andra bilderna jag lade in, och jag är alldeles för lat för att lägga in dem på nytt / I'm only showing you a few pages, because Blogger seems to have eaten the rest of the pictures I uploaded, and I'm way to lazy to do it again...

Det blev en layout också. Jag kunde ju inte låta bli att göra en med de här härliga tjejiga färgerna till min lilla tjej, helst eftersom tröjan hon har på fotot går i exakt samma färgschema som papprena...

There was a layout too. I couldn't resist makong one with theese girly colours for my little girl, especially since the top she's wearing in the photo match these papers so well...

Utmaningen håller på månaden ut, och man kan vinna ett liknande paket från JP Hobby. / The challenge lasts through this entire month, and you can win a similar kit from JP Hobby.

Nu känner jag ett pockande behov av att gå och göra en layout... / Now I feel the urge to go änd make a layout...
