For Malin

My dear friend Malin celebrated her 25th birthday (oh so true! ;) a couple of weeks ago, so I sent her this card:

Lovely patterned paper from My Mind's Eye and some mini roses and pearls - pretty clean and simple, but still a little fancy with the gorgeous pattern on the paper. Love it - the colour is sooo gorgeous!

Now I'm off to enjoy a quiet Saturday evening - maybe with a glass of wine or two?

Take care!

Clean & Simple

You might have noticed that I have a love for two different styles of scrapping - Vintage/Shabby Chic AND Clean and simple? Well, why pick just one when you can alternate? This layout is made during a class I taught at Pyssloteket some weeks ago:

"Happy girl in a hat"

The Swedish phrase is a bit hard to translate correctly...

Check out Pyssloteket's blog if you want to know about the materials I've used.

Take care!

Pysselkvällar

...om du bor i Åkersberga eller Stockholm med omnejd så kanske detta är något för dig:

Jag kommer högst sannolikt att vara där den 17/11 och den 1/12 - kommer du? :)

Ha det gott!

Kajsa and the Bucket

She loves water. She could play for hours. She makes her mother work in the meantime...

"Heeeeeeere"

That means - she wants me to go and fill up the bucket with more water, since all the water she had is ... gone ... How could that be?! Well, she was having fun, and she was watering some of the plants in the garden at the same time, so I guess it was a win-win situation!! ;)

I've used plenty of lovely MME supplies, as well as WOC flowers - some of my favourites! But, for my number one favourite Kajsa - only the best is good enough!!

Take care!

Cards Galore!

Here are some cards I've made for Pyssloteket:

For your (birth)day

Hug

Check out the blog for a list of materials used. I just LOVE the embossing folder I've used on the first card - of course it's one of Tim Holtz's Texture Fades, this one called Fancy & Floral Frames.

Take care!

Weeeeh! I made the top 3!!!

More cards for Pyssloteket

Today there's a new post in Pyssloteket's blog with these two cards:

I'm sorry about the lack of posts in here, but I have been busy with so many other things than crafting and blogging lately. I will not disappear entirely, that much I promise!

Take care!

How strong?

Found this amazing quote when I visited Ingrid's blog to check out her gorgeous paperbag card:

"A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water"

Eleanor Roosevelt

I think it's so true - many people don't know how much they can handle before they're smack in the middle of it. Many are stronger than they think. Much stronger.

Take care!
