Since my darling friend Janet really wanted me to do a tutorial on this TriShutter Mini album. I decided since this is the videos I used to get into the whole Tri Shutter thing then i would feature these instead =)

The olny thing i have done different, is... On my last album,
my blue one.
I decided to make the papers for decorating a bit bigger, and then just cut them to size as i
fitted them to my album.

My measurement on that album is:

2 pieces 4x6
2 pieces 2x6
4 pieces 2x3
1 piece 4x6 This is the center one inside.
4 pieces 1,5x4
2 pieces 3x4
8 pieces 1,5x2
And my front piece is 4x5

Hope this gets you on your quest to make this album Janet =) Luvs ya =)

WARNING: LONG POST!!!!


My son, and my love =)

Ok I have totally fallen in love with this card =)
It is sooo addicting to sit there and flip it that
i just have to do it a little bit every day =)
And theese pictures are just so much fun.
They are from when we went over to my sisters house and took
the kids out skiing.
And they were having a blast =)

As well today i just wanted to let you all get to know me a little bit better =)
I am now taking a might big step for me, cause i am always so afraid of what others might think of me. But i decided that I really wanted to give you the chance to know me better. So if you don't want to, then just stop reading now =P

Well here goes nothing =)

So, I haven't been dealt the best of hands in life.
I want to warn you all right now this might sound as me sobbing...
But this is not a sob story, this is a story to show you that you can go on.
I am a survivor and i am darn proud to be who i am.
Ok starting from a very young age, I was so unlucky to be a victim of ambuse from someone close to me.
It even turned into a "love"affair, and i felt jealous that he would talk to other girls. I didnt know that what he did was wrong, even tho i hated every second of it. Well as time flew by and i learned to overcome my fear, i turned my experience into something positiv and decided to let this strenghten me instead of breaking me.

Then school came...
And i became the easy target, i never fought back and always told anyone that
i only had myself to blame.
I was not the prettiest of teens and i sure got to hear it.

At the age of almost 21 i had my son, the one that changed it all.
He came into my life and sent me head first into a deeeeep pit.
I had a depression from the pregnancy and this took controll over my life.
I was so unlucky to end up with my life tumbeling after a horrible hit.
Where my ex ended up in jail and the court case was aweful to follow.
Many tears fell to the ground in those days.
And i didnt really recover from it for many years.
I was close to loosing my son due to this.
I spent more time on my computer playing games then taking care of my son,
now 2 years of age.
But i got help!!!
My family came to my aid and childrens services started a biiig operation to
help me back to a normal life again.
And i did it.
I was strong and i pushed through.

I was so certain that this was it, no more could hurt me now...
Well how wrong can one be...
Me and my other half got attacked by his brothers,
while my then 8 year old son was a witness to it all.
We went through a horrible ordeal after that,
moving in 10 days and in those 10 days we still was in the house
i was sooo afraid...
I feared for mine and my loved ones life.

And now finally we can relax,
we are now living in a wonderful place.
I have my family close and they have opened their arms and
taken my other half in.
I thank the Lord every day for the luck of it all,
that because of everything that has happened in my life.
I am now finally at ease.
I have a man that i love, my best friend.
I have a son that makes me proud to be his mom, every day.
I have family that loves me for who i am.
Adhd, depression and angsiety with it.
And last but not least I now have this blog,
where so many wonderful people stop by and give me some love.
Each and every comment from you all is treasured.
And many times i feel like crying cause you are all so nice.

So now all i got to say is,
there is absolutly no shame in having problems.
Just know if you reach out you hand there will be someone out there
to grab it and pull you in.
Just give someone a chance.

Let there be action...hehe

I am totally in love. And my son was going totally nuts over this card...
See more in the video further down in the post.


Another Tri shutter album... So much fun to make. Love the way this turned out,
got more papers for making more of them as well =)

Paperplaytime Challenge #38 Animal Print

Ok... I am sooo pleased with this card,
I might just never ever give it away...lol
Oh well i probably will but i think it came out stinkin cool =)


The zebra stripes is printed onto hot pink cardstock,
struggled quite a bit with getting this right.
As what we have is a lazer printer and it heats the paper to add the writing on it,
and it was maybe a little to thick cardstock.
But somehow i got it to work.
The skull I found online and printed, then colored with my glitterpens.
And the sentiment is just something i wrote on my pc =)

Hope you like my card =)

The Pink Stamper February blog hop challenge =)

Create something with the color black and your favourite color.
So my choice was really easy.... black and ..... PINK!!!
I love pink =)
Well here is my little card.


I just had to use this one from my Tinkerbell and friends stamps.
Well Tinkerbell isnt actually in this set herself,
but all her friends are.
And this one is just soooo me =P
And of course i had to test out my new distress ink.
So in love with distress inks and coloring with them.
The Pixie pals is also from the same stamp set.
And the whole card is just 4 x 2 3/4

And today i got to hear from my mom that my aunt and her were
talking about cards the other day, and my aunt was
wondering why they buy cards from the store at all =)
And i think that is cause they think i make pretty cards.
And that makes me so happy to think about =)

I got my mothersday gift and my early Valentines =)

Just wanted to show you all what my wonderful fiance
and my awesome son got me for mothersday =)

Creative Cutter Design Time Thursday Challenge #2

Decided to join this challenge. I had another box for nutmixes,
cause i went out and got the chocolate for my fiance for
Valentines. But i couldnt bring the box i had decorated to
the store and fill up, so then i got another one.
And i was so pleased with what the other one looked like
so i really wanted one for myself.
So i have done this challenge a little different.
I am gifting this to myself, for being me =)
And for accepting who i am and how i am.
And the ones that doesnt like me, doesnt deserve to know me =)

So here is the box i made =)


Focal side, with the love sign. In pinks and reds =)


One of the sides, both have the same paper. =)


Back of the box with the beautiful butterfly paper.
I am so in love with this paper.
I think it is called Jolie.
But someone in the states would know better than me,
since it was a gift from my friend Janet over at Paperhoot =)

The paper on the sides seems to be from the same series of paper =)

Wicked cool giveaway =)

Just have to tell you all about this amazing giveaway =)



Jump on over to Create n craft and join yourself =)

OMGoodness... The cold is so ummm...cold =(

Sitting here in my craft space trying to get through
some blog hops. And let me tell you... It is FREEZING outside =(
I do not care for cold much and now that my son needed the
heater for his room i have picked up my blanket to try to stay warm.
And eating kiwis to get all the good vitamins from it =)
We have around 5 farenheit here now and it is snowing heavily outside and a
horrible wind as well.
And that makes it even colder cause of the wind.
I am use to having about 5 farenheit outside every day,
but today was so much worse cause of the wind.
Thankfully i can stay inside since all shopping for the weekend is done.
All i have to do is drive to visit my mom on sunday,
since it is mothersday in Norway on sunday =)

Here is a little mothersday card i made
for my sons grandma =)

The image is a digital stamp from Create with tlc.

Trying to improve on my distress coloring =)

I LOVE how this turned out.
I think it came out so cute =)

O M G omg so stinkin cool =)

Saw this guy over on my good friend Janets blog Paperhoot.
And my son, now 9 years old was jumping all over telling me
he wanted that. And when i got my cricut i had to make him one.
Then.... much to my surprise Janet could tell me this was a digi stamp.
No cricut at all =)=)=)
SOOOOO cool =)

So i got to work straight away, and this is what i made =)


Another sign for his bedroom door...lol
His door has now, no more places to have signs =P
But oh so he loves it.

Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge 45 =)

My Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge entry.
This time around there is no twist.
So all you have to do is follow the sketch they have provided
and your good to go =)

I really like how this turned out. I really do like the little PKS-560
faces i decided to add to the ribbon.
Brightens up the ribbon I think.


What did i use?
A white cardbase 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Designpaper is 5 1/4 x 4
Then i cut out half of a flower from another paper and added to it.
PKS-560 face on the ribbon.
And the ribbon is from Nille.
The for you is a small part of a bigger stamp from Panduro.
