Take a moment,and be inspired by these wonderful pages and this beautiful kit! :)

~~~

As the holiday season has stumbled upon us (always does that,eh?), i like to take a moment to think about what really is important to me... in a season like this, it feels like there is so much pressure from both the commercial part of it, as in stores and boutiqes etc, and from family and friends, to buy buuy buy... and it kinda makes me a little moody, 'cause it isnt always easy to find time and money to buy buy and buy... So this year i dugg into an old journal of mine and found this quote i wrote when i was about 14 years old:

" As the holidays are here again, i am amazed over peoples hearts. They seem like in bloom and you can get a smile from a boy that you have been trying to impress for ages, but never been able too... what happens? Is it the feeling of joy and peace that gives us such comfort that we dare to open up? Open up for miracles?

I have not had it to easy this year, and some of the stuff that has happened, makes me kinda blue. But then i thought, im gonna open up my heart too! Im gonna start a new way of thinking. Im gonna embrase all of the bad stuff too, and think that its these things that allows me to be grateful over all of the good things in my life. 'Cause i know of alot of bad ones... so let the miracles flow, cause im open to it!"

Im sorry if that was a tidy bit personal, but i just felt like sharing with you readers... im just amazed now, over the fact that i was quite reflected at such a young age.. and now that 11 years has past, i can see that i didnt really practise what i thought myself back then! I have started this "new thinking" again, and just have to tell you, it kinda works! Mojo is wiht me in everything, family life, wightloss goals ( ive lost 30 lbs since august,wooohoo!!!) and scrapping! :)

I wish you a wonderful holiday season, and please, stay tuned for more goodies from the digiworld! :)

Peace out!

As i have told you earlier i have a few absolute fav scrappers... i stalk them,try to be theire friend, whatever i can, cause i just love them so much.

.:: The digiworld is getting bigger::.

Hello ladies! Hope you are all okay! :)

So, i find that the digiworld is getting bigger... Might be because i am getting more comfortable in the www, and have found more sites and designers that i like. Or it might be that there are more and more wonderful and talented designer coming forewards, and they get more and more fans. In that way, they get popular and well known, and easier for us to see... either way, i think its lovely! I LOVE the variety i can find, and the joy of discovering a new shop or a new designer is BIG! :)


An even bigger joy, is to discover that one of your favorite scrappers has taken the step into designing!! Could you imagine my thrill when i found that Amanda had started selling!? :)


The shop she is in is called After Five Designs , and it is storing loads of talent!!


First of, Amanda... you can find her scrapping gallery here , i have talked about her before, but for any new readers, check it out, and you'll see why i am a fan! :)


I think my favorite product from Amanda ,is her collab with Kitty Designs ( who by the way is an awesome designer too!). The collab is called DREAMING and heres a linked preview for you :)








A few layouts made with the kit, all linked for admiration and some love :)
Dreaming about made by Charlize






Dreaming about by Mabel







Dreaming awake by Camila Maria








Surrounded by angels by Omega021





Dreaming by Kristen Rice





An afternoon nap on the coach by Lilletroll





Beautiful,right? :)



Another wonderful designer you can find over at AFD, is Martencja Designs ! Her design is so wonderful and full of life and color! I fell in love instantly!! :)

Heres the preview of her kit Pegasus, GORGEUS!



And 2 wonderful layouts made with this kit:

Feel the magic by Sanhery

The past between the future by Anetka

I find so much inspiration in these ladies galleries, and i hope you will to!

The joys of scrapping are so many, and i find that what ever style you may have, all scrappers have a common goal : To preserve memories in a creative and beautiful way!

The biggest joy for me in this, is to know that years into the future, my daughter will have these pages to look at, in a book or in an album. She will see the words i wrote, knowing i made all of these out of my love for her. And i know as well as any other parent in the world, that mother daughter realationships do change over the years.. maybe we'll grow apart for awhile in her teens, but the comfort for me is that she'll have something besides my words saying that i love her, to show her that we have always cared for her and wanting her best. And that she made our lifes better just being here! :)

Scrapping is the most wonderful hobby, i am so pleased that i found my creative niche.

I hope that all of you reading this can find some new inspiration or just enjoyed reading this!

Peace out!:)

Creative teams are a blessing! :)

So i have the pleasure to create for some truly amazing designers! :) Being a designer myself, i know how wonderful it is to have a good and lojal team to support your every move as a designer! So i am determent to be a good CT member! 'Cause we are all struggeling, some more than other (thinking of myself) , to make a great entrance in the digiworld! :)

What captures you, what is it that makes you buy designs from NEW designers? I try not to be prejudiced when i buy, but i like the things that looks real, looks realistic is maybe a more correct way to put it! :) I like the cut-out paper look, oh whom i kidding, i realy like allsorts, but we all find our favorites after being in the game for a while! And i am so dang lucky to be on some CT's that includes ALL of this!

The first one i am going to splurge about, is the CT i joined first of these, and here, i am also a full time CT member! :) I am talking about Matahati Design :) this girl is so super talented, i cannot belive that she is such a fresh designer! :) If you havent tried out her stuff, i realy recommend you too! She has a HIGH level of quality and her colors are always fresh and gorgeus! I have also found that you can create any sorts of pages with her stuff, any theme you want, she'll have something that suits it! And that is one of the things thats most important to me as a CT member, i need to feel that the style really suits me! So heres some peeks at her kits, all linked up for you! :)

Ever After

Boy oh boy


Summer Bling

And so on to the next AWSOME girl, Nathy with her Cinnamon Designs! :) She has the coolest style ever! She mixes realistic with hand drawn PERFECTLY! She is also the sweetest girl ever,so you just have to love her either way! :) She aslo always have the perfect color combination, and her stuff is realy easy to scrap with! Her kit themes are very friendly for those of you having children, but she also has alot of animal themed kits, so you can scrap your furry friends! Anyways, her stuff is good for any page you want to do! :) GORGEUS,please check her out! :)

When i received a pm from this next one,and she asked me to be a guest CT member on her team, i promise you, you could hear me scream! :) My dream came true! Hollie of Holliewood Designs is a well known designer with most of us i belive, but she has a way of keeping creating new and gorgeus stuff, thats instantly a HIT! :) I ADORE her stuff, she's SO good at what she's doing (along with the others offcoarse!!) You can find some of her goodies underneath, and if you havent checked her out yet, DONT WAIT! :)

 

Whats up Tiger Lily ?
