Crazy times

I love this time of the year between spring and summer, but right now everything´s driving me crazy! There´s sooooo many things right now to keep track of being the end of term in school, graduation for DS coming up, household chores, garden.....I could go on and on, but you get the point right? On top of all this we got Internet issues and that´s such a stress factor too.

Now it seems like it working again so I squeezed in some time to update my blog (and all my internet galleries online).

There´s one thing I´ve been so eager to share with you and it makes me squeal! Reprint Artstamps is selling my paper designs...*blush* It´s a summer line called As time goes by:


I just got my first set of papers and I love the way they turned out. I can´t wait to scrap with them!

I also blogged there - today and last week - and I just wanted to share the cards with you. The pics are linked to the Reprint blog for full credits:

Hello there!

Checking in with lots of nice things to share.....

I believe that many of you feel like I do right now. There´s like a thousand things that needs to be done at this time of the year and preferably at the same time too...EEEK! The last weekend we were at a confirmation, this week there´s two birthdays and a little party to go to tomorrow. It doesn´t get easier when you´re a teacher - lots of student talks and meetings to sum up this term with parents and kids.
Oh, the list can go on....

I blogged this Wednesday at Reprint with a layout that I did for the Color Room challenge:



You can find all the details HERE.

Scrapping really is the best way for me to rewind and charge my batteries. Here´s some new layouts that I made this week:

The first two is actually made with the same kit and add-on by Laitha´s Design:






This one is made with one (out of three) new Alpha´s from Mari Koegelenberg and her beautiful kit Berry Sweet:



The last one is made with a collab kit that I really hope you grab BEFORE May 15 over at MSA for only $1.99:


I made this....


************************************************

Today I decided to challenge myself so I bought two canvases that I´m going to play with today or tomorrow. So now I say - hope you all get to have a wonderful (creative) weekend!

Dags för ett litet paket...

I helgen kommer en av barnens kusiner konfirmeras och då har jag passat på att göra en liten fin ask att lägga presenten i:


Jag hittade en söt mall på internet i form av en take away-box som du kan hitta HÄR.  Pappret som jag använt är baksidan av ett mönstrat papper från Reprint. När jag ritade av mallen såg jag till att den söta ängeln skulle passa in bra på boxens framsida. Vingarna är chipboard från en julförpackning - också den från Reprint - som jag har målat med All Purpose Ink Platinum, chalkat kanterna och blingat med Stickles. Den stora blomman är egentligen helvit, men jag tillsatte lite färg med Distress Ink och en penselpenna. Jag har använt nyanserna spun sugar och tea dye.



I toppen monterade jag ett band så att det ska vara lättare att öppna lådan. Om ni vill veta mer om vad jag har använt så kan ni gärna kika närmare på den här länken till Reprints hemsida.

Ha det så gott allesammans!
