Breathing... ;D

Hi there!
How was your weekend? Mine was AMAZING !!! I got to see my niece getting married to the Man of her Dreams. It was SO romantic, there's no words to describe it!! I was the Maid of Honor, my daughter was the ring bearer, so we got very involved in things, and got to see the wedding from the beginning to the end ;)
We were celebrating on Fjellheisen, a cable car was delivering about 120 guests up to the restaurant, 421 metres over Tromsø town. This was the same place as her husband proposed to her, a year ago ;)
Since I got lots to focus on this day, I wasn't able to take pictures, I'm sure you do understand... Ha ha! But I want to share a couple of pictures I took in the car on the way to the church ;)

The bride - she looks really ready, or what??!! Ha ha ;) She was the most beautiful bride I've ever seen!

My beautiful daughter, ready for her job too ;)

Well... I'm not quite sure what to do now... It feels a little odd not to have this wedding to work on anymore... Luckily I'm heading for work in an hour, although I still feel a little tired.. Ha ha!

I'm so glad it all went well, and I'm looking forward to watch all the pictures from the wedding :)

I'll share the card I made for the wedding couple as soon as I'll find some free space... ;)

Wishing you all a fantastic week!! Remember to show some love to the ones you care for ;)

Lots of love,

Hurra for gutten vår !! :)

Heisann!
Idag har det vært fullt fres hele dagen - eldstemann er blitt 5 år, og det har vi feiret med kake i barnehagen, og med lasagne og kaker for venner og familie her hjemme. Har bakt tre kaker mens gutta var i barnehagen, vasket hus, laget salat og lasagne til 11 voksne og like mange barn. Nå er huset rydda og barna i seng. Ganske sliten nå ja... He he... Sannelig godt det ikke er slik hver dag... Thi hi ;)
Lagde ei dinosaurkake til barna i barnehagen - og den falt visst VELDIG i smak ;) En enkel kake å lage: brownies kake med litt smørkrem og diverse pynt.
Her kommer noen bilder (Beklager dårlig bildekvalitet, bildene er ikke redigert... :(

Oppi sumpen (geleen), satte jeg en stooor T-rex - men glemte å ta bilde etterpå :(

På vulkanen (lavaen er laget av rød dekorgele)

Yummi!! Også dinosaurer liker sjokoladekuler!! He he ;)

Til slutt må jeg jo vise fram et bilde av min heeeerlige 5åring! Stor gutt, som er superflink til å slå hjul, hoppe salto og sykle på 2 hjul!! ;)

Nå er det bare BRYLLUPSFORBEREDELSER som gjelder i dagene framover, kun noen få dager igjen nå, GJETT om jeg gleder meg!! Er utrolig spent - skulle nesten tro at det var JEG som skulle gifte meg, og ikke at jeg bare er forlover for niesa mi!! He he ;)

Ønsker dere alle ei fin uke videre!

Klemmer fra ei ganske så sliten

My first Sweet Pea Stampers DT card ;)

Hello out there!
Today I'm posting my first card as a DT member of the Sweet Pea Stampers challenge blog. Yeeeeyyh! It's so exciting!! ;)
In fact, I'm in a VERY busy period right now - and the weather is fantastic too, so crafting isn't that much in my head right now... But I just HAD to make a card for the SPS blog - I've finished it outside in the gorgeous weather ;)
The theme is Swirls of Summer - pretty easy these days, huh ?!? ;) And we're sponsored by the Crafty Purple Frog, amazing decoupage papers !!
First I want to thank you ladies for the warm welcome into the Sweet Pea Stampers DT. You're all so sweet!
I also want to send a huge thank you to Ellen, for sending me 6 gorgeous Sweet Pea stamps - I won them in her candy some weeks ago. Hurray Mr.Random!!! *lol*
My card is made with Chelsea's beautiful CLP sketch for June. Thank you Chelsea, you're the best! Remember to enter the June challenge, you've got two weeks to enter - and we're sponsored by Tickled Pink Stamps this month :)

Happy Summerdays to all of you !!!

Warm summerhugs,

More happy news !! :)

Woot woot!
We've been having some amazing summer days, enjoying as much as I can of the gorgeous weather.
Today we've been celebrating one of my nieces, she was confirmated today. She looked SO beautiful in her national costume, I should share some pics with you. But I haven't got time to edit the pictures yet, there's been so much going on today. And in fact, I fell asleep on the balcony when I came home this afternoon... Ha ha!
I just had to share some FANTASTIC news:
I'm on the DT for Sweet Pea Stampers !!!! Wooohoooo!! I'm SO happy - I looove the Sweet Pea Stamps, and I'm so looking forward to this DT assignment.

There are so many talented and sweet girls on the team, and I look forward to work with them and get to know them better.

I've been having major trouble with my Blogger account lately, and haven't been able to leave comments for the girls - or any of you others either, but I really hope it will all be fixed again soon...

I'm so excited to start creating more with my fav stamps!! ;)

Wishing you all a blessed Withsun.

Lots of love,

Wuhuuu!
June is here! Which means that I'm running into a very busy month - my oldest son is turning 5 years, my niece and nephew is one year older each, another niece is getting confirmated and my oldest niece is getting married in the end of the month. And I'm so lucky to be her Maid of Honor!! ;) Yes, this is absolutely going to be a busy month!! ;)
But June is so much more than "me and mine" - it's the first summer month here in Norway. And today is the "kick off" for this fantastic and exiting month - my kick off is a new sketch challenge from CLP Challenge Blog!! :)
Hmmm... Have I told you how much I love Chelsea's sketches?? Ha ha, yes I think I have! But I can't say that too often. I loooove her sketches - and I lovelovelove her pieces of art ! She's so talented, so inspiring and SO including and generous. Yes, I'm a huge fan of her!! ;o) Thank you Chelsea for giving me this fantastic opportunity to join your design team, words can't tell how honored I am to work with you and your amazing girls!! ;)
In June we're sponsored by Tickled Pink Stamps. Kellie is SO generous, and have offered all of the CLP girlies an image to work with. Thank you SO much, Kellie !!
I was a little sceptical to work with digi's since I've started to color with Distress Ink reinkers, but Kellie has made a tutorial on how you can combine watercoloring and digis. Since I don't have an embossing tool, I couldn't try this out. I've also heard that laser jet printers works great for digis. But since I don't have that EITHER, I had to try "the messy style". And it got a little messy - but in the end, it turned out quite good, I think... Ha ha!
Here's some pics of my card, based on Chelsea's beautiful June Sketch ;) I made this card for my niece's surprise wedding shower party last Saturday ;)
