It has been a long time since the last post here, have to get better at this again... and find more time to create so I have something to post. 

We did another tag swap this month with the theme ''Flowers''

This is the tag I made for the swap

 Lyn, Liz, Lucy, Jean, Mindy and me

Love my new PC and PS cs5(that I'm still learning), but are having some problems getting my printer/scanner and F-book to play along with the newbies. I'll probably be a pro by the time it is time to update again.... Sorry for the picture qualities here 

Take a look here at what the other girls made, and here to see the YouTube video of the kit

''Summer Dreams''

Here is my full reveal of the September Paper Niche design kit ''Summer Dreams'' Had a great time playing with this kit especially the Creative Imagination paintable paper paper I used on this first layout

The book here is not included in the kit but are available as a die in the store, where we also have chipboard for sale. So are all the other chipboard shapes I have used on the book and on the page above. The book and the shapes in the book is from AccuCut, the dies used on the page above is from Tim Holtz

Once upon a Springtime

Used the gorgeous papers from Graphic 45's ''Once upon a springtime'' line for this layout. The bling swirls is from Zva and the ribbon is from Websters pages. Lot's of inking, crackle painting and fuzzy cutting.
This will be a class at The Paper Niche in the end of September (Sept 30th I believe)

Have a wonderful week everyone =)

A very girly girly configuration box =)

 I wanted to make this box a little different (from all the ones I have started and not finished yet), so I mixed all the Tim Holtz stuff up with some Webster Pages, Prima, 7 Gypsy,  glitter and bling. Still plenty distessed but in a girly way...  I think I will give it a coat of Crackle paint too ...Love that crackle paint=)

First Happy New Year everyone

 WoW, can't believe I have not posted here in almost 2 months

I have done very little crafty these past 2 months, but are hoping to be back on track very soon.

Between Willy's, The Paper Niche my family and Christmas there just was not much time left over

Yesterday I attended a Copic class at The Paper Niche with Sally Lynn Macdonald, it was totally awesome, she is such a sweet lady and a great instructor.

 Here is one of the images I practiced on

This weekend we are doing a scrap-relay at Scrapbook Express, it was soooo awesome to sit down and get a page done. I used papers and embellishments from Glitz design, Prima, Basic Grey, MM, Websters , 7Gypsy and Mark Richards. I also used Distressing ink and played with my TA's Glam

The pictures are of my Niece Oda and was taken i Norway this summer. She is just totally adorable

We have also started a Facebook page for Willy's Products right here become a fan(or like) for product updates and specials (forward to Scandinavian friends here in the US )

The January specials you can see right here Once you try the Friele coffee and the jams there is no going back..

Home alone and.......

Hmmm... got my hands on some of the new Pink Paislee papers...They are totally awesome right?

On this first page I have used ''Sweetness''

I have also used  BG letters that I painted with crackle paint, stamped and then added rub-ons on

The Memory frame has paper that I stamped, sticker from Kelly Panachi and PP rub-on. I have also used  stick pin from Karen Foster, rub-ons from Glitz design and Prima bling

The picture is of my grandparents Anna and Nils Dahl and is taken in the early 1920's

Here I have used the ''Old school'' paper line from Pink Paislee

I have also used abc chipboards from BG and SR, chipboard circle from Technique Tuesday, abc letters from Websters, Prima bling, distress ink and crackle paint

The new ''House of three'' line is just totally gorgeous

I have added Prima and Zva flowers and bling, Hambly rub-ons and some picket fence crackle paint

My sister probably thought I was crazy when I pulled out the camera one night and started taking pictures of her Orchid in the windowsill ... It was about nine o'clock at night and i just loved the way the evening sunlight was shining on the beautiful flowers

Here is some close ups of the first page
