Visitors

After a few intense weeks with visitors from Germany (Hi Katha!) and Norway (Hi Marthe!) I'm back to normal again. Well, not THAT normal, since my son Gustav is having summer-break and is home all days. Well, mostly he's out playing with his friends, thank goodness! But it's still a lot to do - fixing food, washing clothes etc - more than when he's not here!

When Marthe from Norway was here we had really fun making lots and lots of decos and ATCs! For example, I made the deco above - it's a "My favourite rubberstamp" deco that I made for my Swedish yahoo-group SvenskaDecos. I'm very pleased with how it came out! Marthe, I can't wait to come and visit you and have another deco-making marathon! I just need to save up for the air-fare and all that shopping...

Get well card

This card I made today for a friend that doesn't feel too well. I hope this will cheer her up a little. As usual it looks better IRL, the ribbon is with a fringe and it looks adorable IRL, here it just looks weird, LOL! The text below says "Get well soon, my friend" in Swedish.

About the wedding-card in my last post - believe it ór not; I forgot it at home on the desk!! So I have snail-mailed it today instead. LOL! That is sooooo me!

Wedding-card

Tomorrow we will be attending a wedding - Mats' friend Torbjörn will be marrying his Sophie. I made this card for them. It's more green IRL, and frankly it also looks better IRL! I hope they will like it! The round stamp says "kärlek" which means "love", and the text over and below means "Faith Hope" and "For Ever". I borrowed both the stamps when I was at that craft-meeting in Stockholm a month ago. They came in handy now!

I'm back!

Sorry for being absent lately! I've been working on my thesis for the university, and yesterday I got it approved, finally! it's been sooo much hard work, so i'm really relieved that it's over and done with!

Well, I haven't been able to do much crafting, and the decos I have made, I forgot to scan before I sent them, so I show you a deco I made some months ago. The theme was "your childhood idols/Superstars", and I just had to pick ABBA! I simply adored them as a child, wanted to dress like they did and all that. I knew (and still know) their songs by heart, but before I had learnt English the lyrics were a bit funny... LOL!

Gustav 9 years old!

My little baby boy Gustav will turn 9 years old on Sunday!! I can't believe how fast time flies! Well, i made him this card, and the stamp I chose because he just LOVES cats... So I think he will like this one.

I bought him some presents - nothing too expensive, because I just have no money right now... But one thing I bought is an alarm-clock in the shape of a motorcycle, and for an alarmclock it's pretty big. The clock itself is situated at the back-wheel and when the alarm goes off it sounds just like a motorbike starting... I think he will just love it! I can't wait to see his face when he receives it!

Grandpa!

This is a Scrap Layout I made when I visited a scrap-meeting with some friends a while ago. The photos are of my grandpa - the small one is when he was in his thirties - a handsome man, don't you think? And the bigger one is taken about 15 years ago, I think. He is still with us, even though he is 97 years old! His body is giving up on him, though... I'm thankful for everyday I can talk to him!
