Valentines Day items in the shop!


since Valentines day is only a month (!) away, i thought it was time to whip out the Love day items for my shop!  so here you go, are you ready?!



This is a garland that is so simple to assemble, even for kids!
Just print and cut along the edges of each square. Take your sewing needle and add string/twine to each piece and voila! instant Valentines Day decor. Or even instant everyday kinda love decor!





i have already set it up by our monthly shelf :)

it can be yours for 2.00 US dollars! and that is a download people, that you can use over and over again! yay!



i know there is going to be some baking going on over here on Valentines day! I am going to sprouse the cupcakes up with these mini flags.

again 2.00 US dollars and a forever download! i know, i blow myself away :)


This is a garland that is so simple to assemble, even for kids!

Just print and cut along the edges of each word. Take your sewing needle and add string/twine to each letter and voila! instant Valentines Day decor. Or even instant everyday kinda love decor!

The download includes the frases:


be mine

i love you

u r loved

xo xo xo
+ hearts so you can mix things up!

i love mine that i have hung on a mirror!


I am a hug person, so when I saw this quote it really struck a cord with me.


Wouldn´t this be a sweet gift for someone you love? Or why not gift it on Valentines Day!
This item is printed on lighter white cardstock and the square measures 15cm x 10 cm and the actual size of the paper is A4 size aka 21 cm 29,7 cm and would look awesome in a nice frame (which is not included).

i love this green one, but i have 2 other colors in the shop!



and now to my favorite!

Buy a bag of love and joy!


These are punched out hearts from a misc of patterned papers. Your package will contain ca 100 hearts that I think you should use as love confetti on Valentines Day!

i love these and use them when i set the table for Love day ♥

ok, i think that is all :)
now you are all set for a cute Valentines day!

and before i leave you to go shopping  i just wanted to show you the behind the scene shot from when i set these items up for the photoshoot :)



haha, not very glamorous :)

and do you wonder about that little photo that you see with the Heart confetti?
yes? no? ok, you twisted my arm ;)


:) that is us in the very first photo together.
in 2000.
on a sleepover night.
at a hotel.
we were in love.
and saw a photobooth.
:)
we both love that photo!











52 photos in 52 weeks: week 2 roundup + new prompt

i have to admit that i really struggled this week. independence didn´t come easy for me. but i like that i needed to really think it over and i saw so many good examples in the 52 photos  flickr group this week! so many cool angles on the prompt! amazing!


so, then yesterday i was out and about with the kids at work. we were going on a walk in the snow and as this was a very low traffic street they got to walk freely. i love that they walk almost in a line. in fact the 2 photos before this in my camera shows only the last child that is how exact they were following eachother :) and i love that the 2 girls are up infront (go girls!) i love that they are so independent ♥ and such amazing little people.

i am so happy to have seen so many new (to me) photographers join me and Monika this past week. when i last checked we had 78 members at the flickr group! yay!

ok, here is next weeks prompt: evening

i love that word!

and do i have to give you examples? ok, here are a few at the top of my head:

- evening routines
- toothbrushes
- a bed
- the time you go to bed
- the soft evening light

ok. ready. set.go!

virtual coffee

if we were to meet for coffee today i would tell you about "virtual coffee". i know weird, right :)
i have been thinking about my virtual life lately and what a huge role it plays in my "real" life. i started really getting into the internet in 2003 when i found two peas in a bucket as i was starting to scrapbook. i signed up and started by reading and looking through their gallery every day. eventually i started sharing my work as well and just fell in love with the community and the love surrounding it.

the first layout i uploaded to 2peas :)

if we were to meet for coffee today i would not be able to fully tell how much the internet and the people i have met through it mean to me. even though i have actually met almost anyone in real life, i really think that i have real friends all over the world! and that is such a big gift!


the first photo i uploaded to 2peas :)

if we were to meet for coffee today i would tell you that i started this blog in 2005. i started because i wanted to have a place to share the things i liked, made and my thoughts. even thought i had no readers haha! that has changed dramatically! especially since i started sharing my work on my places, involving myself in online communities and groups. and especially after i became a team member at Write Click Scrapbook ofcourse! 

if we were to meet for coffee today, i would tell you that Suzanne Bailey made my entire year, that day when she emailed me and asked if i wanted to join her and the other ladies at Suziebeezieland :) at the time the blog was passwordprotected and we had such a rich community with awesome women that i have been friends with ever since! isn´t it amazing?! the internet has really made the world closer and easier to get connected even if there are thousands of miles between people.

the photo of mine that has gotten the most love at flickr and tumblr

if we were to have coffee today, i would tell you that i am so very happy and honored to be able to call you all my friends ♥

one little word - january

i joined ali edwards online class at big pictures. and this is what i did for the january prompt.




ali suggested we use a 9 slot page protector, but i didn´t find and so i did the prompts in these 4 slot page protector instead. we got a few printables, such as journaling cards for a definition, quotation and thesaurus. i just blinged them up a bit :)


i am looking forward to next months post!

a minibook



i made a simple minibook using my favorite photos from 2010. i printed the photos 2 and 2 straight from Word. for the front page i used some of the pink minibanners from my shop. i curled a few of them just using a pen as my helper. added the cutie camera from kitchy digitals.


in the minibook i only added bits and pieces from my scrap basket. and also a flashcard from my Love flashcard download. sometimes i added a staple or something else small.


i also had some magazine clippings that i thought were perfect for this project!


i also had some words i had printed from my computer that i just cut and pasted where ever i thought suited. i am in love with that at the moment :) 


such and easy was to make a mini look cute!

Share!
