It's called Making Tracks - and for the time being, it comes with 2 free addon packs!I also used Dawn Inskip's Above and Beyond {Template 13}

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.

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.

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 :)

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!!!
