Fast update

Ok - so I got around to post more today...not bad eh?

I´ve been dipping my toes deeper and deeper into paper scrapping and cardmaking and you know what? I really like it but it gets soooo messy and it takes time to pull out all the stuff you need for it! But in the end it´s worth it and you can actually see it irl - I´m terrible at printing my digital layouts and I really hope there will come some cheaper solutions for printing books here in Sweden.

So here they are:

... and a close-up:

Me and DD have found a new addiction and it´s spelled FIMO! I was looking on one of my new fav sites - Cuteable - and from there I got totally lost on Flickr looking around on all the goodies people have made out of Fimo. So now we´re trying to do some nice little things to use for bracelets and stuff like that. Lucky me I go on vacation a week from now.... ;)

Tonight  is gonna be spent with the family in the sofa looking at "Bolt" which we haven´t seen yet in company with a bag of crisps and a glass of wine...Not a bad way to end a week if you ask me...

Have a great week - <3 Cinna

Some new great kits!

I´ve been working on two new kits this week. One is a mini called Happiness from Mari Koegelenberg at TDC and it´s wonderful!

I made this:

...and this one with Happiness and Luvbug kit (also by Mari):

 

The other great kit I got was a collab between Juno Designs and Julie Marie Designs called The Good Life:

Here´s my layout:

 

I´ll be back later posting my two latest paper scrapbook layouts!

Happy Scrapping!

Feeling creative

One of the advantages of owning your own store is that you get the possibility to try out all kind of stuff and right now I really feel that my creativity is on - I found my mojo! Besides on working on some paper layouts I made some digital ones for Juno Design and Inspiration-Lane:

I also made this one with one of my all time fav digital kit Creation 23 by CreateWings and Catherine Design. I couldn´t resist making a layout about these awesome Doc Marten´s shoes:

OK - not only doing this I´m working on some jewelery/beading stuff. First off these two appendants for necklaces:

I also made some earings using vintage buttons from my hubbies grandmother:

Now I really need to try to get some sleep since I´m working tomorrow!

Have a nice weekend!

All by myself

These two last weeks has been hysterical and time has really flied by.

Last week me and SIL was in Malmö/Lund visiting Panduro Hobby and we had a blast! So many nice and friendly people and all the new goodies coming this fall was fabulous! Without saying too much I just LOVE the new stamps that are coming and the new Tilda stuff is sooo cute!I have loads of photos that I can´t show you, but take my word for it: If you love scrapbooking and cardmaking you will really look forward to the new stuff.

On top of this my DS was doing his last year at school (finishing year 9 here in Sweden) so we celebrated that on Sunday with friends.

This week my SIL has gone on vacation which means I will run the store all alone for four weeks. Lucky me it´s Midsummer this weekend so I´m free Friday and Saturday. Yesterday we got loads of stuff to unpack in the store so I was exhausted at 6 pm when we closed.

Today we have just finished our traditional Midsummer lunch which is typical Swedish - fresh potatoes, soured cream with chives and herring (kinda pickled).  For dessert we had strawberry cake - yummy I say!

In the evening we will barbecue and watch Yes man! with Jim Carrey. It wouldn´t surprise me if I´ll have a glass of wine or two...

Now I´m wishing you all a really nice weekend!

I just can´t help myself

Today me and my SIL are leaving for three days to visit Panduro Hobby in Malmö, Sweden. We´re gonna see all the goodie stuff that´s gonna be released in August and do some workshops too.  In between that they have some surprises in store for us - and I really hope we´ll be going to Copenhagen like they did a couple of years ago. I´ll be home again on Thursday so I´m really hoping that these days will be stuffed with FUN!

Before I leave I´ll be making a huge upload of pics of my latest layouts and some photos I´ve been taking - hence the title today....

First - LAYOUTS:

For Pencil Lines Sketch 138 with stuff by Juno Design:

  

More Juno Design - beautiful "One of a kind" kit

Next from Sprung by Creashens:

AWESOME new kit by Mari Koegelenberg called Love Bug releasing on Thursday this week:

More Mari K - Baby Mine:

.... and some photos taking with my new lens which I totally adore.... <3

  

The last is from a card I´ve made that looks like this:

Stamp from Magnolia, papers from Bazzill, Inkido and Basic Grey. The butterflies are from Panduro and the flowers from Prima.

Now I´m off to update my Flickr too...

Have a nice week - and Happy Scrapping!

Hugs Cinna

Finally!

I never thought I would get around but I did! I updated my 365 blog.  Some days are missing though, so I "cheated"  which means that I put in more photos from one and the same day so that they add up to the total number....If you wanna check it out the link is here at your right.

I´ve done another layout for Mari Koegelenberg and her wonderful collab kit Berry Crush. I just love the colors in it! I also used her new little goodie called Date Stickers which I think will be one of those that I will get back to over and over again!

Now I finally got some scrapping inspiration and I´m gonna make use of it RIGHT NOW! ;)

Happy Scrapping to you - Carina

Happy Mother´s Day!

In Sweden it´s Mothers Day and my sweet hubby had the nicest surprise for me today! I got breakfast in bed AND a little present and inside was this little goodie....

An AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D lens! I already tried it and it´s awesome! Look at these:

I´ve also made some new layouts that I really like:

Both of them are made with stuff by Juno Design - I´m so lucky to be on her team! Check my gallery link for full credits.

I´ve also started to excercise - running actually. After seeing some pics of myself I decided that I really had to do something about it....So tonight the trainers and me are out for a 5k.

Happy Scrapping all of you - Cinna
