Happy holidays !!

My Christmas calendar and a new picture

Did you see my Christmas calendar (read about it) last year???

You can also see many great ideas of Christmas calendars on this wonderful page, Anetteshus.

She is having a Christmas calendar contest and my calendar was chosen on of top 10. You can go to her blog and vote for your favorite calendar !

This page I made from Createwings new gorgeous kit, Sweet pea. Dawn just moved her store to Afterfivedesigns :-)

Delivery girl !!

A page from the new Christmas kit by Catherine designs and Bisonite, Esprit de Noel, it´s just beautiful.....

I just love to make winter and Christmas pages in purple...

Some new pages

Here are some pages from the busy two months.

First some winter picture of Matthildur. It´s middle of november here in Iceland and the snow is not here yet so I just have to create a winter fairytale.


Here is a page from the kit, On display by Holliewood studios and was published in the september issue of DAM (Digital Artist Magazine).

A page from Catherine designs kit, Au bonheur des dames.

And finally a page of my new daughter from the kit, Into the light by Createwingdesigns.

The reason I´m not scrapping !!

...is this beauty.....

Karolina, 15 months from Guangdong China

Finally home !!

Forever family !!

So you´ll understand if I´m not scrapping as much :-)

hugs

Kristín

2 new layouts !!

Here is something totally different from me and wayyyy out of the box ;-) A LO made from Holliewood studios new kit, Junkyard available at Oscraps. It was so fun making this LO and necessary once in a while to jump out of the box :-)


And here is another one totally different and more my style. I just love these pictures of Matthildur from our walk the other day.

That´s all for now folks.

Greetings from the lazy blogger and scrapper !!

New picture

I took some beautiful pictures of my daughter the other day :-)

Super lazy...

...and no mojo. Here are the pictures from last month:

Picture from Bee Queen by Holliewood studios.



Picture from Play days a collab between Holliewood studios and Createwingsdesigns.

From Topiary garden by Holliewood studios.

Good morning !!

My latest pictures

Still a lazy blogger but here are my newest pictures.

This one I made from Catherine´s new kit, Boys retreat. Since I have no boys I decided to do a tough girly pictures of Matthildur. I just love the Land Rover because my father has one and it reminds my of my childhood.

This picture of my hubby and daughter was taken last summer on Tenerife. The gorgeous frame is from Catherine designs, Chic frames and the rest is just mix and match.

This picture I also made from Catherine´s kit, Bisou Bisou.

This picture is soooo diffrent from my usual style but sometimes you just need to step out of your comfort zone and create something totally diffrent. I used Hollie´s new kit, Old School

That´s all for now !!!

Lazy blogger

Yep....a lazy blogger but my mojo is here ;-)

This LO I made recently and I used a picture I used on my first LO I posted on DST. I just wanted to use it again because my style has evolved and changed for the last two years.

Here is the original:

And here is the new one:

And then I made this LO from this beautiful kit, The Ocean by Lily designs. Matthildur playing on the beach in Tenerife 2008.

My princess Jasmine

My daughter got her Jasmine costume over a year ago but just recently started to wear it. And she loves Aladdin, the movie. When I saw this new kit by Newlifedreams, Les Mille et Une Nuits / 1001 Nights I just new I had to have it...and it is gorgeous.
I´ve already made 2 LOs from that kit and I probably will do more later. I'm really happy with how they turned out....and the costume just fits perfectly with the kit :-)

My FEEDJIT Live Traffic Map

I just love my FEEDJIT Live Traffic Map. You can see it on the right side of my page, scroll down ! It´s so great to see that I´m getting visitors from all over the world and sometime I have no idea where they found my page !

It would be soooooo nice if you could leave me a little note in the comments :-)

Happy easter !!

Easter basket

A little easter LO from me today. Everything from the new collab by Holliewood studios and Laurie Ann, Easter basket. Available today at Oscraps.

New beginnings

A spring LO made by Catherine´s new kit, Spring Retreat.

Me, the artist !

Through digital scrapbooking I think of my self as an artist.

I made this LO with this new amazing kit, Art Box and Stacking canvases by Holliewood studios. A kit that you can play with, again and again.....and find the artist inside of you !

Spring fairy

I made this LO with this wonderful kit, Pêle Mêle, Memory Keeper : Spring Variation, an exclusive FREE kit created for Digital Artist Magazine (DAM) by Catherine Designs.

The DAM magazine is just an awsome inspiration and filled with tutorials and ideas....and is on sale for $4.50 for a few days only, check it out !!

I just looove the colors here.

Also...check out Catherine´s store at Afterfivedesings. Her birthday is coming up and she has her whole store on sale, 40% off !!!

Yep, another one !!!

A page made from a new collab kit by Bisonite and Catherine designs available at shabbypicklesdesigns.com on Tuesday and afterfivedesigns.com on Thusday.

It´s a kit, filled with unique elements and goodies :-)

A little bit of mojo ;-)

until then....

Pretty, prettier, prettiest

Yes, my little girl is the prettiest :-) Everything from the new mini kit, Pêle Mêle, Memory Keeper : Carnival Variation by Catherine Designs.

Once upon a time

I finally made a page. My mojo has not been around these days so I´m glad I finally finished a page. My little girl just loves to read and listen to stories.

My house

...in the middle of the street. I made this LO from this fabolous collab by two of my favorite designers, Catherine designs and Createwingsdesigns (and I just happen to be on their CTs ;)). The collab is called Creation 23 and is just filled with goodies.

She´s got the whole world...

in her hand. Yes, it´s her world and it´s pink !!

Waiting for you...

...was soooo hard but you were totally worth the wait !!

Looking back to the wait I see now that it was very short, only 14 month from the decision to adopt until we had her in our arms (7 months from LID to Referral). But the wait was sooo hard because we had been waiting for so many years before the 14 months. Now we have been waiting for about 2 years for a baby sister or a baby brother !!!!!

The first ski trip

A year ago, Matthildur had her first ski trip and had a blast. Unfortunately we have not been able to go again...but hopefully soon. Catherine designs just released a new kit, Winter retreat and it is just perfect for this special moment :-) She also has a matching freebie on her blog, check it out !!

Some news !!!

Am I the luckiest or what !!!!! Catherine (Catherine designs) contacted me and asked if I could be on her guest CT. She is such an amazing scrapper and a designer so the decision was not hard. She has been my inspiration since I started digiscrapping and her gallery was one of the first I bookmarked :-) So....yay !

My newest LO is very dear to me. It is a picture of my daughter Matthildur and her best friend Sigga Bára. Their friendship is very special and they love each other very much, only 5 days apart, both from China and came home together and have this special relationship that I wanted to capture. The text is from an Icelandic song and says: A trusted friend can make a miracle !

That´s all for now my dear friends, off to bed !

Must blog, must blog...

I´m way behind !!
