Jolly Holly

Hi, I am back again...so sorry I haven't updated sooner but there was to much going on last one and a half week...my dearest friend had surgery and I was not in the mood to do anything at all...haven't scrapped so much either BUT...I did a lot of designing and I am ALMOST finished...it is going to be great.. I promise....
I have a few pages for you..check this out!

This first page is made with the amazing 'Jolly Holly Collection' by Gina Marie Huff...this collection is sooo huge and really wonderful..well..actually..this kit was the announcement I was intend to do last week. The collection is build up in 8 parts so you can decide yourself which parts you want to have...next weekend the complete collection (all 8 parts together) will be on sale because of Black Friday!

I used Sussie M. Designs wonderful kit 'Let it snow' for above page. I used a picture of my parents while sleighriding in Norway...and guess what..this year they are going to Lapland...and they will meet Santa and sleep in the Ice-hotel...isn't that great (oke..give me another blanket..I am freezing off here behind my desk..lol)

For this page I extracted some pictures of my youngest son during Christmas 5 years ago..he had so much fun with his box. I used a collab by Phuong Ton and Microferk Designs 'Holiday Shimmer' and used Natali Designs 'Playing with Word art vol.5'.

I made this page with the new kit of Lorie M. Designs 'Christmas Wishes', I took these pictures of my youngest son last year in the gardencentre.

Another page with a kit of Lorie M. Designs 'Happy Days' I used this kit before and this is a complete different layout..

For this page I used a template by Kay Eflin 'Kay's Klicks set 2' and a kit from Karin Aicken 'Bright Christmas'...all from E-scape and Scrap...the picture I made last year in Disney Paris.

Soo...these are my pages for today...I hope to have some new pages for you soon. Ohh...almost forgot to mention....I have been asked to guest for Dawn Inskip again..and I love it...it will be in January..really looking forward to it!

For now..wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

Great new stuff

Hi, again I have done so many layouts and again I did not post them sooner. We had a lot of things going on over here..my husband is at home very often at the moment due to the economic crisis. He tranports steal for carindustrie but as many industries increased their productions, there is nothing to transport. Hope things will be better soon but that won't be before January I am afraid. Further my dearest friend is very sick and going to the hospital for surgery..I have had sleepless nights about it and hope things will work out fine for her...biiiggggg hug!

Phuong Ton teamed up with the wonderfully talented JenU Designs to bring you a fabulously gorgeous winter kit, "Knocking on Winter's Door". It will be released tomorrow at SBG.

Symphonie has made a wonderful new magical winter kit, 'Snow Queen'. I made both pages with it...for 'Snow Dogs' I used a picture of my parents Dogsleighriding in Norway...they are real adventurers ;)

Juno Designs created a wonderful autumn kit with some gorgeous doodles...'Forest Life'. I used a picture of my youngest son two years ago...

Phuong Ton did a Studio Girls collab 'Impressions of Honor' I made this page with a picture of my grandparents on their weddingday....

Kay Eflin and Ruth Davies collabed in the great kit 'Aussie Down Under'..I found the great picture at Google, perfect for this kit!

This week a wonderful scraplift challenge on the Weeds and Wildflowers blog..we lifted a page of Tarty00/Tara Dunstan and I came up with this page, using Patricia Christensen's new kit J'aime Chocolat.

Lorie M. Designs released a great colorful new kit 'Happy Days'. I used this happy picture of my son and made it to 'Gallery Standout' at Gotta Pixels..YEAH!

Nikki Scott released her wonderful winterkit 'Snow Chilli' and I loved working with it...great colors and elements and perfect to scrap my little boy!

One of my favorite pictures at the moment...my husband and youngest son in Venice last summer...great couple aren't they? I used Kay Eflin's kit 'From Boys to Men' to make this page.

My last page for Faith True's Guest CT...I used her wonderful kit 'It's a man's thing' and again used a picture of my hubby in Venice...

My son once got this guitar as a present (sorry..bought it myself) but it is a pain in the ears so I sort of took it away...but for this layout he was aloud to make noise for a day..lol. I used Stephanie Trouve/Glam Fairy Designs kit 'Highschool' and it turned out real cooool.

That is it for today..tomorrow I will have new releases, new pages and an announcement so make sure to take a look here. Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Pascal

Oh..I was soo busy last days...had to make a birthday invitation (I used 'Birthday Wish' by Jofia/Holly Designs) and do all shoppings for it because we celebrated my youngest son's birthday today. Next Wednesday he will be six but we had his party today...he was sooo spoiled..and I really love it because that is what your memories of childhood-birthday's will be...being spoiled for one hole day..don't we all love that! Well..I spoiled myself a little by celebrating DSD..I bought the 'Pele Mele, memorieboard-kit' and the 'Sewn Oldies alpha' of Catherine Designs at Afterfive Designs. Her designs are amazing and her CT is one my dream teams ;)

Please hop all over to the Weeds and Wildflowers-blog because the Site CT is giving away 6 quickpages made with Gina's new kit 'Just Earthy' and one of those pages is mine...

Faith True released her new kit 'Fields of Happy'and I made one page with it, using little Julia's picture...

Well..it was a long busy day today...I am off to bed now and will be updating here tomorrow somewhere...happy NSD and see you tomorrow!

Relaxing Mood

Wow..what a title for a monday-evening-post. I had such a busy day..I had to clean up the house, I usually don't do that much in the weekends and on mondays it always looks as if there has been some sort of explosion. After a week having my husband around it was quiet in the house...kids at school, dogs outside..just me and the mess but I got it fixed. I even did some housepainting..and there is still lots of painting to do. Can you imagine how it is to paint in a room with two black long haired dogs..I most of the time have white dogs and a furry cupboard ;) On monday we also have swimmingclasses of my youngest and he did great, learned several new things and went to bed with red watery eyes..poor guy!

Remember yesterday's sneak peek...well...Relaxing Mood of Lorie M. Designs is released and available at Scrapable and Scrapladies. I made two pages with it. First page my boys were playing with leaves and had great fun, the other page is an older picture of my youngest son.

Well..that is all for today. I am off to bed..was working on a layout but PSP let me down..again..oepf..
See you tomorrow!

New kits and a Sneak Peak

As promissed yesterday a new post today! And I have enough time today as we headed to wintertime last night...our day is 25 hours today..yeah..finally...I always have to less hours on day, they should do this more often ;)
Tomorrow Lorie M. will release a new kit called 'Relaxing Mood' and I want to give you a sneek peak of this wonderful kit.

Ingeborg/Ikscrap has a new kit in store..'Time Travel' and I made two pages with it..

Now off to some older pages I still had to post here....'Extraordinary' is a collab kit between Juno Designs and Jennifer Barrette and I made a page with it. I still had a serie of pictures of my boys which I scrapped before but I love those pics so much..needed to use them once more (and maybe once again).

Another kit by Juno Designs is 'Dude! the kit'. I created this cool page of my oldest son and it was mentioned at the GSO at DST :)

A non-ct layout..yeah..sometimes I do them too...Jofia Devoe's last kit 'Kit for cold Days'..I really looooove her work..and used it for a layout with a picture of my oldest son when he was 1,5 years old..isn't he a cutie?!

Kristin Aagard RAK'ed me with her wonderful kit 'Sweet Apples'....I reallly loved working with it and I am absolutely satisfied with this page of my youngest son..

Í made another page with Gina Marie Huff's kit 'Kickin' Up the Leaves'..it was for a scraplift challenge at the WW-blog.

Also Patricia Christensen released a new fall kit..love it as I love all Pat's work (and Pat herself of course). Her kit is called 'Summer's End'. I used pictures of my boys picking pumpkins for Halloween..which reminds me that we have to carve faces in them this week.

For my guest CT at Faith True's team I worked with two other kits...'Day Tripper' and 'All about me' and made a page with both of them.

And last but not least a page with a Halloween kit by 'Nikki and Jen'..'Spookilicious'

So..I am off to cook my husband a meal..he was home for a week and will be leaving tomorrow for another week on the road. Hope to see you all tomorrow for a better look on Lorie's new kit and the layout I made with it...bye!

New Teams

I have so much to tell..so many great new things to share but first of all..I decided to start blogging on a daily base. I can take more time to promote my designers stuff when I blog every day and it doesn't take hours like it will take me now to show you all layouts.

I have been published again..this time in 'The Daily Scrapper, issue October 2008'..I feel really honored as they just pick a few layouts every month!!

So..my layouts..first of all, Phuong Ton asked me to sort of guest for her. She made two great kits.. Orchid Dreams, Reawakening and Orchid Dreams, The Beginning and I made a page with both of them.

For Juno Designs I made a page with her new collab kit with Anja J. 'Colorful Nature'. Really love the bright colors of this kit and love how this page of my youngest son turned out...

One of my new CT's is of Lorie M. Designs. She is a 'new' designer and I really love her style, a combination of digitally made and realistic elements. I worked with her Ma Boo Hay collab kit by Crop Dreams (Lorie M. Designs, Aimee Designs, Cactus Mango). It is a charity kit to celebrate Filipino American History Month to benefit Opportunity House - a Pearl S. Buck Foundation International program that helps children in Asian countries, like the Philippines.

I also made a page with her Halloween kit, Spooky Fun Halloween..

I made two Halloween pages with Symphonie's new kit 'Halloween Spirit'...a wonderful kit for halloween and fall pages!

..next page made it to 'Layout of the Day' at ScrapScandiStyle'

A new kit by Nikki Scott named 'Monster Madness'...I asked my kids to make scarry faces but that was not so easy as they thought it would be...I think they look more funny than scarry ;)

During the autumn-schoolholidays we made a long walk and I took some great pictures of my boys...with one of them I made this page with Juno Designs kit 'Fallin'. I think I rather have fall kits than summer kits, love the colors!

Julie Mead of E-scapeandscrap asked me several times to join her site-CT and she is such a nice lady so how could I refuse....I made a first page with Kay Eflin's kit 'From Boys to men' and it is a page of my youngest son fishin'.

Another new team....Glam Fairy Designs aka Stephanie Trouve...her work is amazing. I already knew some of her kits and I am very happy to be on her team. I made two pages with her kit 'Witch Out!'

Pepeetje/Petra made a new kit 'Memories'. I really loved to make some vintage layouts with it of my family...a first one of my mom being pregnant of me and the second one of my grandparents seeing me for the first time...

Jen E. made a new kit called 'Oh Brother' and I used some great pictures of our walk to scrap a page with.

Gina Marie Huff made a gorgeous new kit 'Full of Wonder' and I made this awesome page with it, sorry..I really love it myself ;)

Rest of the pages I still didn't post here, will be in tomorrow's post...as I have to go and celebrate my uncle's birthday! Tomorrow I will also give you a sneak peak to Lorie's new coming kit ;)Oh..and don't forget..all images are clickable for further credits!

See ya tomorrow!!
