Jingle bells, let it snow and all kinds of music

Christmas music is playing all day long here, the hubby might go insane before Christmas actually arrives he says..

Well i don't know if Judy Garland or Bing Crosby has made anyone go made before so i think he will be just fine!

I LOVE old chrstimas songs, "have your self a merry little Christmas", "let it snow" "one night divine" and the list goes on, what kind of Christmas songs are your favorites?

The Christmas cards are now done *Yeiiihhh me* i usually sit frenetic creating them in the very last minute, but not this year!!

I think i have used about 5 meters of ribbon, a ton of pattern paper, a whole bottle of scrappy glue and my thumb is sore after punching out all those snowflakes! But now all of them are done and now i just have to take this years Christmas pic that will be inside the cards.. I have a few ideas i just have to get the hubby to understand how i want the pics to turn out..We have a loooong photographing weekend ahead of us *lol*

Some of you might have noticed the cards on the collage in my post below, but here is a bigger pic.

That's it for now, right now i will relax to el divos Ave Maria and a cup of Swedish "Glögg" (don't know how to translate that but i tell you its sweet and tastes deliciously and for me its the non alcoholic one ;)

Its the most wonderfull time of year...

Christmas is fast approaching, i have totally got caught in tinsel, papers, glue, ribbons, and enjoying myself tremendously!!

I love this time of year, i love taking out my favorite decorations from the boxes i stoved them away in last year, i love listening to Christmas music it always puts me in such a good mood, so the last two weeks just flew by here meanwhile i was card making,christmasdecorating,started working again after being home for a month, decorating baking, having friends over, taking care of a sick child and a whole bunch of other stuff.

isn't this the most wonderful time of year?!

Just a quick post today with a collage with a few small pics from my decorated home, and a Christmas layout.
The layout is a bit different from my others.. there is NO flowers on there what so ever, it took me forever to create it it felt so naked without anykind of flower embellishes ;) But its nice to step outside your comfort zone sometimes!

And yes i found the right Christmas papers thank you so much for your great tips, i fell for these papers , i love the combination of white red pink and turquoise!

Hope all of you are enjoying pree Christmas time as much as i do!

Hugs Malin

A layout..

Hope everyone had a great weekend =)
I have just had a calm and nice weekend together with family and friends that always makes me happy.
Thought i might find the time for some creating some tomorrow, and when i was going through my file with pics to scrap i came across this layout, it was the first thing i created after my scrapbook break..
The pics has been used on other layouts before but they always make me smile and i love that little girl!
And as you might have noticed  my new love when it comes to creating is glimmer mist and masks ;)

Hopefully i will be back with some more scrap tomorrow, see you then!

Christmas papers..

First of all Thank You so much for all your congratulations and well wishes on my post below, cant tell you how happy they made me!

Christmas is fast approaching and i am as always starting my christmas card making later then what planned ;)

But this year i cant really find THE papers.. I have seen so many beautiful lines out there but no one that has made gone "Those are the ones I'm gonna use!!"

So I'm wondering which is your favorite Xmas line this year would be so happy for any tip you might have!

Hugs to you all

Here comes a pic if you havent figured it out...

Yep I'm PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you who has seen some of my layout´s before may know that some of them has been about the struggle we went through with my miscarriages and it has taken us so much longer to get pregnant again then what i expected, but finally i am sitting here with a growing belly, and i tell you its HUGE i was not this big with little miss thing! I'm so happy and excited and nervous still cant really shake the worriness of, about that something bad could happen but most of the time i am enjoying the joys of pregnancy, you know morning sickness (not so much anymore though) extreme tiredness, being hungry all the time, having a hard time to find clothes that fit, roller coaster emotions, having cravings about apple juice and red apples in the middle of the night...

But best of all feeling so very blessed and happy for the fact that a little life is growing inside of me it´s truly amazing.

So without further ado i present to you the little sweet pea

thank you for letting me share my good news with you =)

Now its panncake time with little miss big sister ;)

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone that celebrates Halloween, wish we did it more here in Sweden i love to dress up in costumes and spooky stuff is FUN!

At little Miss Thing´s pree school the kids could come in customs yesterday if the wanted to, and of course she wanted to! My otherwise pink girly

girl wanted to be a witch, we had so much fun getting her ready, we sprayed her hair in red, painted her nails and lips black she looked quite scary at the end!

I actually did scrap some more yesterday, a few pics from last summer when we are blowing bubbles in the park. I used so many fun techniques on this one, misting,distressing hand cutting, puff up paint on the letters.. Ahh the joys of creating again!

So here is the final result

Leaving you with a pic of the scariest little witch off them all ;)

Lots of spooooky hugs!

Rain, Rain, Rain

The rain is poring down here.. Normally i actually like fall, i love the rich colors, the trees with all their beautiful leaves, i love to curl up in the sofa with a big cup of tea, i love afternoon walks in the autumn sun with a light chill in the air..
But right now its windy, grey, cold and the rain is just poring down non stop..
What bugs me the most is that there is no light,t its so grey and that is depressing..
Luckily this gives me a opportunity to be inside scrapping, every cloud has its silver lining i guess ;)
But its hard to get a good pic when there is no light, so I'm leaving you with a layout that i created yesterday, and i apologise for the bad pic..
When i started creating it i knew which title i wanted to use, i knew which pic to use, i knew that i wanted to cut some of the beautiful flower patterns from my prima papers..
Then it came to the journaling..and i felt that it was a bit personal..
But then when i started to thinking about what to write it hit me that i had achieved the feeling i wanted in the layout without actually writing my thoughts down! Kind of felt good.
But i do need to get better on having more journaling on my pages!!
Just took a peek at the layouts i created yesterday and realised that i don't have much journaling there either *lol*
Promise i will work on that.
So here it is " A new Chapter"
Life takes turns sometimes and it takes sometime to figure out how to get back on track and now i think i am :) in more then one way..
I think that makes me deserve a BIG cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows right now ;)
