Photo Crazy

Like their mom, my girls love taking photos!! Lucky for me, they still humor me and play a model for my camera too. At least once in a while :) This is Lovisa on a trip we took last June.
I used Dawn Inskip's fab new kit, Snapshots, just released at Scrapbook Graphics...I also used one of Dawn's previously released Project 365 templates.

Family Time

My girls love to play cards and board games. This is Lovisa Lin in January 2010, while we were all sitting around the kitchen table playing Junior Alias :)I used the brand new Studio Girl collab, Impressions of Family Night, and Studio True Blue's new Blueprints Set 8.

On My Way...

I used Lindsay Jane's new Project 365 elements and papers along with her P365 template.

Wet!!

Matthildur Inga, quite miserable, after having run through the cold sprinklers last August. It was nice out, but not too warm, so she got wet AND cold :) Poor baby - and she just did it because I did it first and dared her!! I'm a bad mother LOL
I used Queen of Hearts' fab new templates, Color Pops V4 and Hazel Olive's Moody kit.

Flower Girl

We travelled around the southern part of Iceland during the summer and sometimes there was volcanic ash everywhere. If it was windy and dry, it was like dense fog. This day, we drove out of the ash into an oasis with a creek and a waterfall, and stopped for a little while. It was weird to see walls of ash everywhere, except where we were, which was this sunny little beautiful stop. Lovisa made use of the time, sitting quietly by the creek picking flowers :)I used one of Studio Basic's new templates from her The First Of 2011 template pack. I also used the January Free With $10 Purchase collab kit, Blooming Morning, from Digiscrappers Brasil.

YUM!!

Matthildur Inga with her menu on her face. As usual :)I used a fantastic collab from Queen of Hearts, Jacque Larsen, Brynn Dukes and Heather Hess, called Retro House.

The Cards

Matthildur loves to play cards - and lucky for her, grandma also loves to play cards. At least she won't say no when Matthildur asks her to play LOLI used Just Because Studio's new So Kissable and Queen of Hearts' Glitz N Bitz template.

When I was pregnant with our younger daughter, back in 2006, we never got to know the sex of the baby - but I was totally convinced it was a boy. I always talked about "him". So, imagine my surprise when a little girl entered the world :)
I used Dunia Designs' An Easy Way template and Alphabet Soup-Christmas alpha, as well as Hazel Olive's Oh Baby kit. The layout is linked for full credit.

Happy New Year

Matthildur Inga just after midnight, celebrating the new year :) She loved the fireworks - but most of all she loved holding these sparklers, which I don't know the English word for LOL
I used Dawn Inskip's new Project 365 Grab Bag and her Above and Beyond {Template 15} along with a couple of other of Dawn's goodies.The bag is filled to the top with the most amazing goodies - just perfect for anyone who is about to start on a P365 journey for 2011, or for those still scrapping their P365 2010 photos :)

Biograffiti Spotlight

Biograffiti is in the Designer Spotlight at OScraps this week. She created a minikit which she is giving away for her Spotlight challenge, and another kit, which she is selling at only $3,49 for her Spotlight week. I used both of those kits, plus a few other of her goodies, to create this layout for her challenge...The journaling is me reminiscing about the first time I saw this photo on January 9, 2004. This is the referral photo of our daughter who was waiting for us in China. Now, this little girl is a 8 year old happy kid who likes to sleep in, read and knit :)

Sweets

On New Years Day, the gingerbread house got smashed into pieces, and although my girls did not like the taste of the gingerbread, they thoroughly enjoyed diving into all the sweets which decorated the house LOLI used Thaty Borges' fabulous kit, Magical Christmas and her matching Magical Christmas alpha. The layout is linked for full credits :)

Dawn's new holiday goodies

Dawn Inskip just released a fantastic bundle of goodies in her store at SBG...I used it to scrap Lovisa's anticipation when she was waiting to go on stage with her choir and perform with some of the greatest singers in Iceland today at a Christmas concert on December 1She was so excited, but also so tired and hungry. She had been in school until 4, then went straight to the hall to practice and since practice was running late, she never got the chance to come home to eat and change her clothes. We went there at 7:15 and took her the clothes she was supposed to wear and a little bit of food. However, she was too excited to eat much :) And it was a fantastic night with good Christmas music - and it was so much fun to see her there up on stage!!!

Every Little Bit Counts

The season of giving, gratitude and joy upon us. It is also often a very busy and hectic time of the year, creating a challenge for those of us with lengthy To-Do lists. However, no matter how busy we all get, it really is important to remember that when it comes to charity, Every Little Bit Counts.
To demonstrate this simple truth, a call went out across the digital community to designers everywhere inviting them each to contribute only one element to a charity collaboration for the Sick Kids Foundation.

The end result is an eclectic collection of unique elements, ranging from classic to quirky and everything in between.

TheEvery Little Bit Counts collection will only be available until the last week of December. 100% of the profits will then be donated to the Sick Kids Hospital Foundation.

Find out how you can receive this very special collection for only $5 and let your little bit count towards this very worthy cause.
