Sweet as an apple !

This is my sweetiepie, I just loooove this picture of her. What I love about digital scrapbooking is the ability to change a "not so good" picture into a fairytaile !

Here is the original picture of my daughter and her friends in our hot tub:

And here is my newest LO made from the gorgeous kit, Under the apple tree by Jofia design:

Have a nice weekend !!

Umbrella kiss

Me and my husband at our wedding day, 27.sept 2003. Yes, it rained and was very windy but one of the best days of my life !! The door behind us is actually the door to the little church we got married in, Búðakirkja.

Located at the magnificent Snæfellsnes in Iceland, with the glacier in the background !

I (heart) you

This LO was mostly done with the wonderful new kit by Milla design, Summer Jam. This picture of Matthildur was taken when she was 14 months old and was reading a train book, tuu tuu !

Horfðu til himins (look to the sky)

My little fairy looking to the sky. It looks like she is deep in the forrest but she is actually in our backyard with only few trees behind her.

Exploring !

I was in the mood for a simple LO today. Matthildur exploring the world in our garden.

Today (June second) there are 3 years since we received our referral and saw our daughter for the first time. This day is always so special in our minds and our daughter is just pure joy !

Life is not measured

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away. Love that quote !
I kinda lost my mojo this week and this is the third LO I started this weekend but the only one I finished. I hope it comes back with this LO !!

Elskuð (loved)

Já, hún er elskuð þessi elska !!

Svo alvarleg (so serious)

Litla fiðrildið mitt (my little butterfly)

Hugmyndina að þessari síðu fékk ég frá þessari auglýsingu. Maður lítur öðruvísi á auglýsingar og uppsetningar í blöðum núna og er maður sífellt að leita að nýjum hugmyndum.

Þú (you) !

Ein svoldið brjáluð. Hef ekki verið að gera margar myndir með svona mörgum hlutum en ég er bara nokkuð ánægð með hana.

Orðlaus (Speechless)

Maður verður stundum orðlaus er maður horfir á þessa fallegu stelpu !!

I sometimes get speechless when I look at this beautiful girl of mine !

Svo stolt (So proud)

Eins og stelpan okkar er íslensk í sér þá er hún svo stolt af því að vera frá Kína. Þessi nýja mynd er að mestu úr kitti sem heitir Sakura garden og er eftir einn uppáhalds hönnuðinn minn, hana Mindy Terasawa.

Geimprinsessan (Space Princess)

Matthildur tók bók á bókasafninu um daginn sem heitir Fyrsti Atlasinn minn, mjög skemmtileg bók og þar er meðal annars fjallað um pláneturnar. Hún varð alveg heilluð af þeim og talar mikið um allar pláneturnar, hvað þær heita og hver er skærust osfrv. Þegar ég sagði henni að ég ætlaði að gera þessa mynd af henni varð hún mjög spennt og þegar hún loksins sá myndina varð hún mjög glöð, brosti breitt og fór að skellihlægja !! Nánar um myndina á DST

My daughter is very interested in the space and all the planets these days so I made this LO for her. She was so excited when I told her about this LO before she went to bed and I said she could see it tomorrow when she wakes up. And she loooved it, first there came a big smile and then she started to laugh !!

Nýlegar myndir...

....síðasta holl. Loksins er ég búin að setja flestar myndirnar mínar inn á síðuna. Nú fer ég að setja eina og eina mynd inn í einu. Njótið (ef einhver er þá að skoða þessa síðu;-))

Guest CT hjá Windgefluester

Í mars var ég í svokölluðu Creative Team hjá skrapphönnuði sem heitir Windgefluester. Það sem ég þarf að gera er að búa til eina síðu úr hverju kitti sem hún hannar og pósta það í 3 galleríium og kynna kittin hennar þar sem ég get. Það besta við þetta allt saman er að ég fæ öll kittin hennar ókeypis, ekki slæmt það. Hér koma myndirnar sem ég gerði:

Sea oh sea

Gerði þessar tvær myndir úr einu æðislegu kitti frá Jofia design sem heitir Sea oh sea, bara geðveikt eins og allt sem þessi hönnuður gerir.

Hér er kittið:


Hér eru svo myndirnar sem ég gerði. Myndirnar af Matthildi voru teknar úti á Krít í fyrrasumar. Nánari upplýsingar getið þið séð á galleríinu mínu á DST

Það var mjög gaman að gera þessar myndir enda myndefnið ekki af verri kantinum :-)

Fleiri myndir frá 2008
