A girls perfect birthday by Jady Day Studio

An early Happy New Year to everyone! The end of 2011 is almost here and I'm excited to see what the new year will bring! The second part of 2011 turned out to become a busy and stressful time and I certainly expect something better for 2012. I owe that to my family and myself. In 2012 I hope to do more scrapping, I wish to improve my photographing skills and I want to travel more.

I couldn't resist playing with Yari's fabulous Birthday kit "A girls perfect birthday". I think it's my favourite Birthday kit ever!

Auld Lang Syne by LDrag Designs

Christmas is just around the corner and I am still so behind with everything. Today the girls made Christmas cookies. I will make some later this evening. This year I decided to drop the Christmas cards, but changed my mind in the last minute and ordered the cards last weekend. I got the cards yesterday so I am busy addressing them hoping to get them in the mail tomorrow. We are slowly getting there.

The new year is not far away and if I am going to make a promise this year it will be to stress down. 2011 has been an incredible stressful year for me and my family as well with me commuting after the Summer. We all need to stress down.

Lina (LDrag Design) released a fantastic New Year's kit "Auld Lang Syne" this weekend. It is available both at Scrapmatters and Scrapbookbytes.

My Precious Treasure by LDrag Designs

This week we have had some heavy weather around here. First we got some snow followed by rain and finally we got a thunderstorm. The snow is all gone now. The storm and rain swept everything away, except for the ice. Christmas is 2 weeks away, we can still get a white Christmas. I am hoping for snow the night before Christmas Eve.

Have a look at Lina's (LDrag Designs) new kit "My Precious Treasure" released at her guest shop The DigiChick. It's beautiful and elegant and would work perfect with any Winter photos. I am happy to announce that she is re-opening her store at Scrapmatters this weekend. She is busy filling up her store with goodies.

Jolly Holly by LDrag Designs

Today I have done some shopping for Christmas. Not as much as I hoped for, but I am done with some of the Christmas presents. So much to do before Christmas and so little time to do it. Next week I will be away and when I get back there is only one week left before Christmas. I am not sure how I am going to get everything ready for Christmas this year, but I guess things will work out. They alwasy do. I might skip the Christmas cards this year. If so, It will be the first time since the girls were born.

Look at the cute snowmen in Lina's new winter kit. They are so cute!

Magical Christmas by Jady Day Studio and Flergs

I love December in Digiland. The designers are outdoing themselves with gorgeous Christmas kits and I just love Christmas kits. I fill up my harddisk with all the gorgeousness. One day I might even get to scrap with all my stuff too. That is what I love about being a CT member. I get pages done. Have you seen Yari's new collab with Flergs? I know for sure that I will scrap more pages with it.

A merry little Christmas

Sweet November by LDrag Designs

Today it is Advent Sunday and I am so not prepared for it. We have been away this weekend. The annual Christmas party with my husbands colleagues. The party took place at a hotel this time. Great hotel, fabulous food and wonderful people. If I wasn't commuting every second week, I would probably have enjoyed it more. But I have been working a lot lately and felt really tired. All I really wanted to do was to spend the weekend at home doing nothing. I feel a bit ungrateful because I didn't enjoy the weekend as much as I could have done if I had been on top of things. Which I am not. With Christmas only four weeks away, I feel a bit stressed. I am just not prepared for Christmas at all. It's about time I start the preparations. I am so late this year and I have so little time because I am still commuting. Actually that leaves me with only two weeks to get everything ready. Now I feel even more stressed. I will go and look for some advent candelabras and Christmas angels to decorate the house...

This weekend Lina realeased a fantasitc new kit "Sweet November". She is guesting at The DigiChick this month. I scrapped a page about one of my angels with it, and I love the result.

Harvest Happiness by Jady Day Studio

Recently I have digitalised some of our old aps photofilms, just to check the quality and because I don't bother to do it myself. It's an endless and boring job, but I want those photos digitalised. It was so fun to look at all the old photos. I can hardly remember the girls at that age. Time really flies fast.

Rulds2-Missionary by Jady Day Studio & Melissa Bennett

My scrapping time is limited at the moment and have been for some time now, but I try to scrap a page whenever I find some time. Scrapping is like therapy and it calms me down. I need that now because my life is very stressful at the moment. Hopefully things will calm down over New Year.

Winter in Hooville (Retired) by Jady Day Studio

We are in the middle of November, but so far we have seen few signs of Winter around here. One morning my car was frozen that is all. Actually we have had temperatures between 10 and 15 degrees, pretty much the same as during this summer. I love this time of the year when the stores are filled up with gorgeous winter and Christmas kits. They are my favourite kits. During Jady Day Studio's Fall Retirement Sale I got my hands on a couple of Yari's older goodies, including a winter kit. Althought the winter is on hold, I can always create winter pages.

It is pretty quiet after DSD, so I decided to scrap some of our holiday photos. Usually I prefer to scrap one page layouts, but I decided to try something different to showcase a lot of photos.

Rulds2 - Baptism by Jady Day Studio and Melissa Bennett

I have been busy unzipping and organizing all the new stuff I bought for DSD. My wishlist looks much better now. I am not sure when I will be able to use all the stuff that I bought, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that it is mine now. I did scrap a page using Jady Day Studio and Melissa Bennett's new kit "Rulds2 - Baptism".

Wow, what a weekend! So much fun, games, challenges, chats, so many good deals. Shop until you drop, that is probably what I did. I wanted to scrap a lot and participate in some of the challenges, but got busy shopping. I spent...a lot. My paypal got pretty hot... Next time I'll plan better and have my shopping lists ready so I can join all the fun.

Jady Day Studio and Melissa Bennett relased a fantastic collection "Rulds2" just in time for DSD. Here is my page with "Rulds2 - Temple Marriage".

Bad Attitude by Litabells Designs

Often I see these fabulous photoless pages with lots of journaling in the galleries. Some of those pages are really master pieces. I love photoless pages and I want to create pages like that, but I struggle with my journaling. For me the hardest part in a page is the journaling. Often I skip it. I need some practice because I want journaling in my pages. It's an important part of the page.
