"Bonnie" layout w/ BoBunny

Unfortunately I can't remember which sketch I looked at while creating this, think it was Creative Scrappers, but not sure. Anyway, it's about my best friend who's pregnant and they (everyone) call the baby Bonnie (their names put together) until they know which sex the baby has.
Only BoBunny papers, fall collection (last year?) and my Silhouette got to work as I tried it for the first time with the Maroccan pattern and then used the left overs to create decorations (the flower at the top and the long stem under the picture).

CS #233 En av de bästa

Another layout created with a sketch from Creative Scrappers, #233. It's about my mom, "One of the best". Only MME papers and I've used my Silhouette to cut the scalloped edges and the left overs turned into accordion flowers.

Creative Scrappers #229

I really enjoy the sketches and inspiration that Creative Scrappers provide. Here I made a layout about my youngest niece as she blows out the candles. I've combined papers from MME, Crate Paper and My Little Shoebox on and the sketch #229 from CS.

Christmas craft


Last year I decorated these candles and wrapped them into cellophane, as a little give-away to my friends. It was really easy; I bought inexpensive candle decorations. Picked them apart and together again with some wire and then put it around the candle. Done :)



Wonder what I'm gonna do this year... Any ideas?

Have a nice evening!

Clock and Letter I

Made a clock (from a canvas) for my nieces 8th birthday. Used my Silhouette Cameo for the black numbers and to make a stencil for the chevron pattern. And then just messed around with acrylic color, distress ink, nail polish :P and more.

The thing with the name on it is supposed to be a cardboard letter, "I" as in Isabelle.


Made some of the flowers from fabric yarn (if it's called like that?) and just put brads in the middle. My Cameo was also here put to work to make the glitter letters, and I have to say that I had to set the knife to 5 and it still didn't go through!! The CS was quite thick, but I could still peal the letters out and use them.


On this side I put a anonymous quote in "The only make-up a girl needs is her smile". Now I just hope she takes that with her in her heart. :)

Have a nice afternoon!

Enjoying family and friends

Yesterday was spent at Liseberg, Gothenburg, with my nieces and their grandma. We had a hot summer day and a lot of fun. I even won some candy, which I usually never do! And this was the 2nd time to Liseberg this summer, one more time than normally :P

Anyway, last weekend I had my first wedding photography session, and it was for my best friend. I think it went well, but I'm my own worst critic, hehe.

Aaand: my mojo is back! :) see a sample further down. Two layouts made of My mind's eye paper, lost and found 2 sunshine.

Lost my mojo...

Hi there!

Been a while since I last posted anything. I have kinda lost my "mojo" for scrapping the past few months. I've managed to do a few layouts, so I'll try to show them soon. But I think it has mostly been because I went to Austria to work for two months and didn't bring any supply for scrapbooking, I also wouldn't have had any time for it either. And another cause can be that the photos I've taken is not "scrappable" in my opinion and so on. I also think it could be because I haven't found a job yet :( but I'm working on that!


But I'm thinking about doing some wedding layouts from my best friends upcoming wedding. And not to put any pressure on me I've decided not to give the layouts to her (them) as a wedding gift (logical as it can't be done before the wedding) but finish the layouts when I feel like it. Today, I took some photos of their engagement rings (minus the wedding ring) and they will probably use one photo to put in the menu. :)

Creative Scrappers DT-Call

Keep your fingers crossed, because I have just e-mailed an application to Creative Scrappers!! :) I really like their sketches and I also enjoy the inspiration I get from the design team members! Here's a layout I've made from sketch #160 with papers from My Mind's Eye. Love the glitter!!

Passion for skiing

By this time of the year, I start getting abstinens if I can't go skiing. I get so blue if I can't go, and seeing other peoples pictures of their skiing holidays just makes it worse. Therefore, I will probably apply for a job as a ski teacher again at the ski school where I have worked once before. Although, this time it's only for a few weeks - but I need to ski!!


Newly prepared slope - lovely!!

"Solbacken" - also lovely


The dream scenario would be to live at a place where I have close access to go skiing, preferably to both Austria, France, Italy AND Switzerland :P and have a job that isn't from 9-5, so that I could go skiing during the day! :) Then comes the tricky part: how to get there. I have so many possibilities I just need to pick a few and go with that.

Pin it!

My new dear Pinterest... So much inspiration, so little time...






I have found Pinterest - and joined :) I get so much inspiration from that place. Here I've put together a collage of photos of how my house should look. Think it will have time to change, but I can dream, can't I?!
I am loving this pic of the couple - totally gonna to that one! And when my best friend is getting married, I'll do the picture frame-photo. Good thing that she has two nephews that can hold it! Can't wait to try it.
