Hold on to your dreams...

Prøver meg på en skisseutfordring denne gang ~ ikke det letteste for meg, å arbeide ut ifra en skisse, da jeg aldri ser for meg hvordan det skal se ut eller hva jeg kommer til å bruke før jeg starter. Men det er jo en utfordring å bryne seg på da! :)

~ ♥ ~ PSst: I got some yummy BlogCandy below this post! ~ ♥ ~

Having a go at a sketch this time ~ wich i'm not the best at, as my cards never is planned but comes out during the making, and I spend so much time trying to get the sketch to fit that I'm rarely satisfied with the outcome ~ but I quite liked this one, though you can't go wrong with Tammys lovely digis! :)

CLP Crafting Life's Pieces #46. ~ The sketch for the Month of April.

Happy New Year 2010!!!

Et riktig godt nytt år alle sammen!!! En hektisk mnd. er over for de aller fleste - er glad jeg slipper unna meste julekaoset siden jeg ikke har barn. Jeg har bare en pusekatt som er så livredd nyttårsraketter at jeg måtte sitte i et par timer med ham på fanget - inntullet i et pledd! 'Beibien' min.. *lol* :)
Det har vært litt tungt de siste mnd. etter at pappa døde, han fyllte opp så mye tid, at det virker nesten tomt i huset nå, med bare meg og moren min. Så vi har planer om å flytte - kansje iløpet av det nye året :) Isåfall skal jeg innrede verdens beste scrappe-rom!!! Har sett utrolig mye flotte løsninger både på scrapping.no og på twoPeas gallery > Scrap rooms > slik som DETTE helt fantastiske rommet! *sukk* Skal definitivt ha meg en slik vegg å henge ting på :)

I slutten av januar skal jeg og moren min til Thailand sammen med storebror og niesen min - Det blir helt herlig!!! Har ikke kunnet slappe av eller gjøre som vi vil på tur - siden hmmm... aldri? Først hadde vi Siljesnuppa vår boende, så kom bestefar og når han gikk bort, så var altzheimer'n til pappa allerede blitt for ille til å ha mer glede enn stress ut av feriene. Skal sørge for å ta med stempeltrykk og alt av male-remedier, så kommer det masser nye kort fra meg på nyåret!!
I denne posten er det derimot mange 'gamle' kort - som bare har blitt liggende på pc'n og ventet på å bli blogget om. Bare klikk på bildene for å få opp en større utgave ;)




Happy New Year everyone!!! Hoping you've had a wonderful Christmas :) December was pretty hectic for most I'm sure, but I don't have any kids so I didn't stress much. However on newyears eve I sat with my cat Tamlin bundled up in a blanket oon my lap - for almost two hours!! He's afraid that the rockets will get him I think *lol* All panic, but safe inside the blanket :)

The last months has been heavy emotionally since my dad died, but me and my mum are coping good now, and soon we're off to Thailand for a much needed vacation! My eldest brother Pit, and my little niece Ariel are going with us. I'm taking with me lots of stampmotifs and my aquarelle paints, so I will have lots to create when I get home! January 24th is the date & three weeks in paradise :)

Our house is now too big for just me and my mum, so sometime this year we'll move into a new home, close to my uncle and his family. And he live in the house he and my mum grew up in, so she'll feel right at home!!! And the view there is gorgeous, all mountains and the sea below! My mind is already occupied finding solutions for my new scrap-room!!! Ikea will be my ruin I fear - there is so much great stuff to buy ;) And I've been browsing through the twoPeas gallery > Scrap rooms > and found awesome scraprooms like this one! *I wish*
