CASE

I just got the biggest compliment! :)

My friend Meri did a CASE (Copy And Steal Everything) of one of my layouts. :D And I think it's sooo cute!

This is my layout, created from a sketch by Sodalicious.

 

Meri was the teacher of my first scrapbook workshops, and she is adorable... and now she was inspired by little me. Thanks! :)

This is a photo of the two of us, when we are heading home after a day at the big Scrap and Pearl Event at Annexet this Marsh.

Happy! :)

Scrap & Pearl 2014 - Sunday 16th

So let me tell you about the third day of this years Scrap & Pearl Event - Sunday the 16th of March.

It was a lovely sunny day in Stockholm... but for a couple of reasons I decided to step inside...

...and here is one of them. :) A huge room filed with nearly 1000 happy people, bursting with creativity, and 18 stores to shop from.

Doesn't these colors make you more happy then a ray of sunshine?

... or maybe these?

Yummy! :)

Isn't this top hat just amazing!? It would fit on the head of Johnny Depp in "Alice in Wonderland". I found it at Skaparlusten - WOW! :)

Look at this adorable display at SirapiParis booth.

Papers from Sodaliciuos at SirapiParis.

Happiness on a table! :)

And another great reason: Meeting lovely friends - this is Malin at SirapiParis. It was sooo much fun to meet you! :)

Need more reasons? ;)

True words!

I caught a selfie (and a hug) from Sofia as well. :) Thanks for making this happen!!!

Some lovely bead work from a neighbor at the craft table. Amazing, right?!

Mini Distress Ink pads cute as candy.

Inspiring layers of Mixed Media on a friends project. 

Flowers! Flowers! Flowers!

...oh, I did do some crafting as well. Just so you know that I didn't run around all day, drooling over yummy products. ;)

And I worked some as well... helping Scrap-Perra with the challenges, and helping out answering questions in the shop. Fun! :)

Thank you so much, all of you that made my weekend so great! Hope to meet you next year again. :)

Scrap & Pearl - Saturday 15th

The second day of the Scrap & Pearl Event started with a windy morning.

The sun was shining, but it was really biting cold and it had come a little bit of snow slush during the night before.

Today I was joined by a couple of close scrap friends of mine - Stella and Carina. We had so much fun laughing, creating, chatting, talking, shopping, laughing, talking about training, shopping and laughing. Big hugs to you both! :D

I kind of like this view of a scrap table... looking at creativity from above. :)

This is where I have spent my day, with the purple table cloth... when I wasn't shopping, working or running around talking to all the creative people.

I have worked in the shop for Scrap-Perra on and off during the day... helping out with different questions, hosting the sketch challenge and being on call during the workshops. 

An overview picture with lots of color and happiness. :)

This has been a day filled with laughter and creative friends. :) I'm so happy to have met you in this hobby of ours. This is Meri, the girl that I took a Scrapbook for beginners workshop with in the spring of 2008 - 6 years ago (!).

Can't wait til tomorrow! Nighty night... ZZZzzzzzzz

Scrap & Pearl - Friday 14th

The first day of this years Scrap&Pearl event is over... and I'm tired and happy. :)

Let you tell me about my day:

It started early in the morning...

... when I arrived at Globen/Annexet to help Scrap-Perra build up their store. There were a few boxes to unpack... ;)

... and the tables were empty. *in the eye of the storm, it is calm*

Scrap-Perra has got a new color theme for their store/webshop and blog... and new sweaters. :) Love the color!

Nice, right? :)

*busy, busy doing nothing a all* ;)

Time for lunch... at "the Golden seagull".

15 minutes before the doors are opening, and it's a bit busy with the finishing touches.

The store is ready, and looks goooood. Yummy! :)

A lot of people came and joined us.

... an overview shot.

A lot of taxi cabs were waiting outside at closing time, like at a concert... I just wonder how many of the scrapbookers took a cab.

Have a good nights sleep! :) See you tomorrow.

Vampyre knitting

A friend of mine brought me a book...

... about knitting and vampires. Me being a Twilight fan, who occasionally knit - She knows me quite well. :)

This book was soo much fun to flip through... the writer must have had a big bucket of humor creating this. :)

You could for example knit "A Sweater with a bite - for him" (directly translated... maybe more correctly translated "A Sweater with a sting"... but that wouldn't be so vampiery, right? ;)

One of the things that I actually could think myself knitting is this - "A mini cape for frozen vampire hearts".

The description reads: "The modern vampire girls doesn't need to hide under long bulky cloaks. This neat cape with a hood and cute hearts fits her so much better".

Isn't it cute? :)

This is just funny - A pulse protector. "When a girl of today dates an ancient vampire it is probably for the best that she covers her arteries. These wrist- and neck warmers will serve as a good protection when she is alone with her vampire boyfriend. So he isn't tempted to take a sip of her blood.

*hilarious and cute* :D

New blog header

Have you noticed that I have a new happy colorful header on the blog? *frantically pointing up*

What do you think? Like it? :D

Nails for Sweden

I was so inspired by the winner ceremony yesterday, at the Winter Olympic Games in Sotji, when the Swedish guys got their gold medals.... and the national anthem...

... so I painted my nails. :) We now have 9 medals - 2 bronze medals, 5 silver and 2 GOLD, in Sweden. All of them are in cross country skiing. Wow!!! 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping we will get some more. 

Liquitex Paint Markers

Happy happy happy! :)

Look what I found at a store - Liquitex Paint Markers! :) 

I have wanted to try them ever since I saw D. Downey use them in an "Inspiration Wednesday". Now I can! ;) 

Fun phenomena

This such a fun phenomena. :D

There is a Swedish company where you can buy roof tiles - Monier. I found out that you could get a sample tile for free...

... so I just had to try and order one, or maybe two. ;)

And here comes the funny phenomena - due to a Facebook group for crafters where someone came up with the idea to order a sample tile and create with it, they had to stop sending out those free samples.... but you can still come and get a sample tile at their factories. I might need to travel to one of these factories. ;)
