The places I've been shopping are Scrap Is Fun (Thank you so much for the little extra goodies, Anita!!) and Scrapbook Fun.


I really LOVE Thickers. They are so cool! And Scrap-is-Fun had a great sale this week, so I had to buy some!!! I've also ordered different Thickers from the US ;-) ... Cant's wait to play with them!
The K&Company box stuffed with pink goodies, is die cut cardstock and is called "smitten".

One more sketch layout

Sunday there was a challenge over at SIF.
Rikke (aka Scraps) has made this sketch and it was a fun one to play with! :-)



And here's what I came up with! The pics. are a year old and they show my youngest son as a Master of Karate! Here in Denmark we celebrate "Fastelavn" = shrovetide (in February) - where the kids are dressed up. They hit a big barrel (right word??) and inside the barrel ther's a lot of candy and fruit. When someone hits so hard, so the barrel break he/she becomes the Cat's Queen. The one who hit the last of the barrel off of the rope, becomes the Cat's King. :-) It's a very old tradition. And in the (VERY) old days, a cat was inside the barrel all alive and kicking!! Ohhh my! It doesn't sound good at all!! I'm glad it's only candy and fruit now a days! :-)



Backgroundpaper: Basic Grey "Lilykate".
Patterned paper: Cosmo Cricket "Doc Holiday".
Mini marks (rub ons - right side of the layout + the brackets): American Crafts.

A layout for My Scrap Corner

A Danish magazine, called My Scrap Corner, is now closing down. Unfortunately! I think the girls there was very brave and I loved that they actually tried to run a DANISH scrapbooking magazine. Well, I made a layout for a sketch showed on page 23 (issue #3) - a sketch Lisette had made. I loved the sketch - and as I now am a 12 x 12 scrapper I just had to try it. :-) And as the magazine now stops I can show the layout here:



The pictures shows my two boys on the first day of school in August 2007. The were so ready and they looked so much forward to see their friends again.

Scrapbook Queen 2008 (2) + France

The 2nd challenge for the Scrapbook Queen 2008 challenges is done now.
* Use one picture (NO people on it).
* Use one handcut item (I cut the swirls/doodling).
* Use paint.

I chose to create a layout about one of our skiing vacations. The pic. is taken in Sölden, Austria last year. I've used some OLD paper: DaisyD's for the background and One Heart One Mind under the pic. Buttons are Foof-a-la, scrappers floss by Karen Foster, MM brads for the tags, MM paint (white for the edges and "poppy" under the title). Journaling spots are Heidi Swapp.



Yesterday we returned from a GREAT skiing vacation in France! We lived close to Valmorel and the scenery was so beautiful. Snow, a blue - blue sky, lots of happiness and freedom. Ohh I loved it there! :-) We went by car (my brother, SIL, my DH and I) and it is a long trip (around 1700 kilometres each way). But it was cosy!
Here's some pics from our trip ... and look at the sky! It was amazing! :-)




Me, at the top of a mountain!


The house we rented!

I'll create something now. I have missed being creative a lot! :-)
Thanks a lot for stopping by! I appreciate it a lot.
