The summer when you got big

My little Hannah got big. Just like that.

Frills from my shop, a little handdrawn bird inspired by all the birds everywhere. Title cut with CR (font Mabella), Primaflowers and brads.
Doodled frame around journaling I drew and cut with my CR.



Journaling in english:
You were almost never home this summer. Out playing with friends from early morning 'til late night. I guess that's the way it's going to be from now on. I just have to realize that my little Hannah is so big!

Right now

Here's a layout I made today. I like this pic of me, and right now it's perfect.

I used lots of acrylic paint. Dabbers from Adirondack are the BEST!
Cut out stars and painted with acrylic paint, and then added a 3D-coat. Did the same with the thickers for the title. Cut the dymo-text up into pieces to add a little mess. :D
Doodlings I have made myself and cut with my CR. Can be found in the shop as a template or cut out. And yes, sooooon I will translate the shop into english. It IS under way... takes some time though as my messy life has been taking over me and all my wants. Some bling on the photo too... thought that was needed for this mess to be complete. :D



Title reads: Life is a little messy right now
Journaling goes:
There's so much stuff upside-down in my life right now. For the first time I know what I want to do with my life, only life doesn't seem to want to do the same thing as I do. Frustrating! But it'll probably be okay...

I took a walk

After dropping Samuel off at preschool (or daycare? I forget the difference) yesterday I took a walk. Rain was hanging in the air and the light was just gorgeous. After about 15 minutes of walking and seeing all sorts of pretty things I cut the walk short and went for my camera. So I did the same walk again. Do you think the light was still there? No, of course not... But I found some pretty stuff anyways.

Here's what Sweden looks like right now. Fall came earlier than we had hoped, but hey - those colors make up for the loss of summer. Truly do.








Besides the walk I made some lingonberry-jam yesterday. YUM! So good!

Sofia

This was made for the challengeblog where I'm a designer. I made it during the summer, and the topic was homemade overlays. The journalingtag is homemade. :)
Butterflies are homemade robo-templates. Flowers are retroflowers painted with distress-reinkers.
Background has been splattered with acrylic paint.

Just think you've been this small, Sofia. You and I were friends already then, Sofia. It's so special being your aunt!

Painted nails

This is about how Hannah and I always paint our nails the day before she leaves for the states every summer. Then we cannot clean the paint off until she gets home again. Worked like a charm the first year, when she was gone no more than 2½ weeks.
A little worse this year when she was gone a month!

Journaling reads:
Every summer you leave for the states and the first year already we painted our nails before you left. Then we let it stay there until you were home again, and that way we saw how long you've been gone.
This year, you were gone way too long.

Yesterday was the weirdest day. I was SO tired all day. Had to go to bed at 6.30 pm!!! I could not stay awake. I hate those kind of days. But hey, I'm wellrested now. :D
I was hoping to get some scrapping done this weekend, but now I feel I should spend some time with my kids instead.
So, I'll scrap tomorrow. :D

Sketches

Did you know that I have my own sketchblog?
Well, in case you didn't, here's a link.
I just uploaded a bunch of new sketches today!

First kiss - no thanks!!!

I made this last night. Really for my shop. :D
I've used a LOT of new stuff from the shop. Fun fun! Still got plenty more to add to the store, but this will do for now. I'm going out on a photosafari with some other scrapgirls today! :)



Journalingspots, frills, ticket and doodles are from my store.

How sweet! Wilma and you were playing and suddenly Wilma felt like giving you a hug and kiss. You were NOT interested in hugs and kisses. I'm so glad I had the camera ready for these cute pics!
