Beautiful Blogger Award

Sweetest Annette over at Bakom kulisserna hos Magdas has given me an award! :D

Thank you so much! I'll do my best to follow the instructions that come this award:

* Copy the award picture to your blog to show that you have recieved it.

* Thank the person who gave it to you and link back to him/her.

* Pass the award on to 7 bloggers and link to them.

* Reveal 7 interesting facts about yourself.

7 facts about me:

1. I drive a bright yellow New Beetle - part of the license plate says: RAW

2. I can sound like a cackling hen and a great tit (a small bird for those of you who don't know) ;) - according to a colleague who is a bird-watcher

3. I often have to show my ID when buying alcoholic beverages - apparently I don't look a DAY over 20. ;D

4. When I studied in Nottingham (UK) some people thought that my native tongue was English.

5. I love playing computer games and sometimes discuss different games with my students

6. I teach Swedish and English to 16-19 year-olds.

7. I love to sleep - I could sleep until noon if I didn't have to get up with my little daughter in the morning. ;)

More or less interesting facts about me - but hey! Maybe there was something you didn't know about me?

I've decided to pass this award along to only THREE bloggers - just because I want to be a bit of a rebel... ;) Here goes:

DrAnnika - A true friend who has become a frequent blogger lately. She lives in the UK and I miss her so much!

Lillpiga - A woman with THE iron will - she's cool, she's rockin', and she's a DAMN fine friend.

Kajsan - A beautiful and supportive friend who inspires me in more ways than one.

Thank you girls for being in my life!

Candy Shoppe Designs

Remember some while ago I was happy about something - well, now is the time to tell you what that was all about...

I've been chosen to be a Lollipop girl for Candy Shoppe Designs!!!

This is my first layout for this fantastic inspirational and challenge blog:

(though I misunderstood what kind of layout I should do... Instead of a layout to present ME, I made a layout that presents what I do, what my style is. *hehe* Sorry about that!)

Now head on over to Candy Shoppe Designs to check out the new girls and their work! I'm so excited to be designing together with this talented lot!

Take care!

Scrapfever at Magdas

I have made two layouts so far:

I will update with new creations as soon as I have them ready and photographed! :)

Take care!

More Christmas cards?

Here's another one of those MANY xmas cards I've made lately. There will be more - I'm on a roll, I think. ;)

It somehow feels like it's Zarischka inspired - what do you think?

Scrap Evening

I had a wonderful time last night over at Magdas - a scrap evening was arranged and Annette invited us into her home for an evening of scrap and fun!

Kajsan showed us how to make a treat bag and I tried some embossing powders from Ranger Ink - I ended up with one finished Christmas card, and then I started making one more that was not finished. I hope to get some time this weekend to finish it and scrap some more, because I always get so inspired when I meet other people with the same interest!! I just want to go home and scrap NOW!!! :D

Well now, I'll hold my horses a bit - still have some work to do today. ;)

My brother, part II

And once again - some more FANTASTIC pictures of my brother when he was just a little toddler:

Patterned papers from Maja design, flowers from Prima and Kort og Godt, Prima bling swirls, lace, Thickers and alphabet stickers, a stamped chandelier, and a ticket from Tim Holtz.

Layout is made for Cards of Maria, and you can find most of the materials in their webshop. :)

My brother, part I

No need for words - these pictures speak for themselves...

I love my brother, he's as nutty now as he looked on these pictures, about 33 years ago... ;)

This layout is made for Cards of Maria, using Maja design, metal decorations, flowers and a pearl swirl from the webshop.

Take care!

Just little me...

...I might have been 1 or 2 years old in these pictures. I loved to scrap these, because I saw how much Kajsa reminds me of me when I was a child. I can see that we are somehow related. ;) Also, I mostly scrap pictures of Kajsa, so it's fun with a little change every now and then. ;)

I made this layout for Cards of Maria using patterned paper from Maja design, metal decorations and gorgeous flowers from the webshop.

Take care and have a good week!
