I got a digital camera myself too, so from mow on I can take my pics without planning ahead to borrow a camera.. sooo nice ;o)

Here's a lo I just made from some of the cute freebies KAREL has left us before christmas..
Lucas has got the Chicken Pox, that's why he's got so many spots all over.. *lol* but he was (is) happy anyway!!
He got his first christmas stocking ever this year, and I took some pics of that event.. here's the layout:

Just click the pic to make it bigger..

This is my little christmas greeting, I'll be more active later on, I have TONS to do until January 8th.. so I won't be here too much.. sorry in advance ;o)
but I DO check in and read our comments, so feel free to say something!!

More horsey layouts from me..

Hi all,

I kept making some horsey layouts.. here they are:

Made this one from one of the kits in the "A year in rewiew kit" by G Dupus /Scrappin Digi Kreations.


This is Chablis, a racehorse I met a couple of years ago. I made the lo from the February part of the "A year in review kit" by G Dupus at Scrappin Digi Kreations.


This one is made from a pic of a friends Norwegian Fjord, and I made the layout from a freebie over at Cen's Loft, "Neutral Paper pack", plus I recolored some other freebie items from June/Cen's loft, who is also a designer over at Scrappin Digi Kreations.

I got a bit tired of making christmas layouts, I think I'll get back to that AFTER christmas again, when I MIGHT have more photos ;o)
Well, I better check my chicken pox son!!
Take care!
Jessica

My friend got a daughter..

..so I made a lo about it from Michelles super cute freebie frames!!
I fell in love with both of the frames, so I'll make something from the other one too, but here's the first one ;o)

Lucas decided the colors and where I should put the flowers and hearts.. maybe he's got a future in the digiscrap world later on? *lol*

Thanks Michelle for making the cute frame and all the other embies!
I'll get back with more later on..
Hugs Jessica

Two more lo's for SDK..

Ok, so I made two more lo's tonight.. Both uses the kit Love u 2 pieces by Gwenevere Dupus and the blue one uses the kit Baby blocks kit by Shannon J too.
Here they are!

I used a pic of Lucas where he was about three months old, just like Freja is on her pic.. Just to show any similarities a little bit easier ;o)


This lo was made from pics taken on Lucas' 1st year, 2005. The pic with the dummy is the only one I have, since he didn't want to use it from about 5 months of age, and he rarely had it even before that.. hehe..
The kits I used can be found in the shop of Scrappin Digi Kreations, and you can click on the designer's name to find the exact kits if you want! It's absolutely worth a look!!
Take care until next time!
Jessica

My very first lo for ScrappinDigikreations!

Hi all!
I just wanted to make a quick post to brag a little, hehe.. Or well, show off my latest lo, I just finished it, I made it from a kit called Love U 2 Pieces by Gwenevere Dupus over at Scrappin digi Kreations. It's a BIG kit, but really nice and lots of cute embies and not to mention the papers.. I'm not all into patterns, as I've said before, but these are really easy to work with!! *lol*

So here it is.. My very first lo for that CT:

The pics were taken near my parents home when we took a walk.. Lucas just wanted to play, and so we let him..*lol*


I also made a new lo from Leaonna's latest kit.. Here it is:
Really bright colors, but still really great kit if you ask me! It also includes pink items, but I wanted to keep it to purple and green ;o) Thanks for letting me work with this, Leaonna!

Finally, I have a little QP to show you, my version of the QP I made as a "sneek peek" for the upcoming kit.. *no, I don't know how long it'll take to finish it.. hehe.. *
Here it is:

Cute, isn't he? *lol*
Well, that's it for now.. Take care everybody!!
Jessica

I bought a kit and made a layout..

I felt like scrapping, so I got in to the DSO store and bought a super cute kit from Lpand3dogs designs.. SOOO cute! *link goes to her blog.. not the store!*
Here's what I made from it:

The text is not included in the kit, I made it from the font "snowcaps" (available at dafont.com) by clipping it out in one of the papers included in the kit! Thanks to Lynne for creating this wonderful kit! It's actually my first BOUGHT kit..*lol* It's on sale, as a lot of other items there, so maybe it would be a nice idea to check out the store there? They seem to have lots of great kits and stuff! I got really inspired, hehe..
Hmm, I'll go post it in my gallery over at DSO and tell her, as a designer I know how fun it can be to see what people made from the creation I spent hours on..

Take care!
Jessica

I just wanted to show you..

..some lo's I made tonight!
Here's one I made from Leaonna's latest kit, If yo like the paper I used, or the cute bling snowflake, then head over to her blog and grab the full kit.. it's huge, but cute!!
Here's the lo:

Lucas played in the forest a week ago, and it's a miracle that he wanted to wear the santa's hat, he HATES them hehe..

Here's another one I made..

Karel, that I used to be in a CT for, has made a lot of cute kits, and just because I am no longer in her CT *she doesn't have one anymore* doesn't mean I'll stop using her graphics.. they're awesome!! I got a kit with the little elf as a belated birthday present from her, that was just sooo sweet of her, THANK YOU Karel :o)
I also used some items from other kits she has made, the chalkboard is from her cute kit "someone's in the kitchen" for example! Head over to Craftyaccents.com and check out her things and join her crafting club!!

And the third and last lo I made tonight is this one:

It's made from the Welcome minikit from DSO.. and even though I'm not too much of a patternperson, this was actually fun to make, and not that hard either ;o)
The cats are my grandmother's kittie *She's called Kitty* in the big pic, and from left to right we have Tazzie (my ex cat, now living on the countryside with her sister), Knasen, (my ex cat, now living with my ex neighbour and friend Lisbeth, on the same street as my parents live, so I can visit him) and Pepzi, my cousin's cat.
Do you like this? I'm kinda new to mixing and matching patterns, so I'll have to work on it, hehe..
Ok, it's time for bed, I'll be back with a freebie tomorrow.
Bye!
Jessica

Some lo's I made from my kits..*lol*

Hey there,

I don't just make the kits, I try to use them too..*lol* But it's kinda hard when my son is around me all the time, wanting to "help".. So late nights, when all the clever people go to sleep, I scrap!
I made a lo from my snowman kit, that I thought I'd enter to the "make a lo with SNOW on" over at DSO, and it's made from my Burned snowman kit.. However, I'm no good making lo's with lots of pics, and I wanted to keep it in that kit, so please forgive that it looks messy..*lmao* Im VERY aware of that, ok?
Here's that one:

I tried to "calm it down" by making the center part just blue, not patterned.. Hmm, I didn't see that problem when I made the kit..*lol* Well, that's a way of learning too! No more patterns on frames like this one!

Anyway, Tracy made a layout from this kit yesterday too, and she did a better job than I did, hehe.. here it is:

I like the cool stitches she added, click the image to enlarge it.

Well well, what do you know.. I also made a layout just minutes ago, using the color challenge freebie kit I made last night and it turned out like this:
As often, I took an animal into the layout!! I can't help it, most of the pics I have are animals (cats, dogs or horses) and Lucas. Not too many are anything else, so sometimes I have to borrow pics from my cousins and other relatives, haha.
Anyway, that's what I made for now. I'm gonna make some more storestuff, so I'm off now.. AND, I might not be online very much this weekend, since my hubby is coming to town, hehe
Take care everybody!
Jessica

A layout I made..again!

Hi to you all..
I just wanted to show my latest lo.. my boyfriends german shepherd Nemo! It was a challenge over at DSO and you were supposed to be inspired by an ad.. and this is it.. I used fur, white and silver, all of it was in the ad ;o)
But it was kind of hard to think of something to scrap, hehe.. Well well, here's my result, don't laugh your teeth out, hehe..

He's cute, even if I'm not all that satisfied with the lo, I don't know why, hmm. Well, I finished it off at least, hehe..
See ya!!
Jessica

I'm alive.. *lol*

Hi there.
I am not dead, but I feel really sick. Everybody's sick around here, and I catched something too.. I'm DEAD tired, and had to PUSH myself to even turn on the computer.. not good!
Well, since I'm here, I thought I'd tell you I'll give you a quickpage made by Robin from some of my stuff, and she's got a new address on her blog, so I'll change it after posting this..
I also made some layouts, one for Leaonna last friday, that I didn't find time to post, and two for June that I made five minutes ago, with some newer pics..
They are posted below!


This one is made from Leaonnas kit "I'm Sassy", get in on her blog!
The pics are my cousin's son Hannez on the left, and my son Lucas, on the right, and they just were pretty in those pics, happy.. and boys.. Happy boys! **Lack of inspiration on the journaling, hehe** Well, I love Leaonnas kit, and I wish her all the best of luck with the designing ;o) She's got some talent!


Here's a lo I made from one of June's freebiekits. Too cute ;o) (I added a rikrak from another one of her freebies too.. They're all available on her blog!) My hubby is on his way to go home on this pic, so I thought the travelling theme was fitting..


This is made from another freebie on June's blog. She makes lovely minikits ;o) The pic was taken only yesterday, so that's a new one.. Lucas had a great time in the forest!!

I'll upload the QP and try to make some goodies for you myself too, and post a little freebie later, hope that's ok?
Take care!
Jessica

A freebie from Leaonna and a lo from me..*lol*

Hi.. Here's a little freebie from Leaonna, it's on her own blog, but it looks like this:

It's really cute, and I got the honor to work with some of her papers in the kit before she gave it out, I just promised to hold the layout until Friday.. And guess what? Today is FRIDAY!!!
Here's the layout I made, the mebies I made myself ;o)
The only thing about this lo that I don't understand is.. HOW did the "silver" heart turn silver? It was WHITE last night when I cloesd down the computer.. *lol*
Oh well.. I'm off for now to leave my son to his daycare.. Be back later though!!
Oh, and the link to Leaonna is on the right hand side at the top, says Leaonna!!
Take care!
Jessica

Layout time

I haven't posted a layout made from Michelles kits in a while, so I think it's about time ;o)
I made this one tonight from her Santabear Kit, really cute!
And it was great fun to scrap again, even if I had to make the santahat myself.. Next time I'll change the shape so it won't look so stiff.. hehe..
Anyway, here it is..

The brown and green papers are also made by Michelle, I thought it would have been a bit hard to read the text if I had used any of the other papers, even though they all are really cuuute.. **I LOVE bears, hehe** Thanks Michelle, for letting me use this cutiekit.. I'll probably make something more another day!!
Jessica

Last CT layout for Karel..

I just felt like posting a last layout as a CT for Karel over at Craftyaccents.. I made it today, before I got the message that she decided not to keep her CT, she's changed a lot on her website, she's started a Members club for all the crafters out there, with lovely things!! And so I guess she won't be needing me anymore ;o)
But no hard feelings, I got to work with some really beautiful kits, and it sure has a special look!!
Visit Http://craftyaccents.com to get her news and kits and the club, and see the freebies... Lovely!
Here's my "goodbye layout" **not about goodbye, but the last one I made as a CT member..**


**Thanks to Carolyn K for telling me about the cute font!!**
I'll miss being in that CT, but I wish Karel the best, just like she wished me luck with my store!! Thanks for everything!!
Jessica

Cowboy kit layot

Hi again.
I just recieved a layout from Debi using the Cowboy kit.. Thanks for sharing!! Love the cool pics, hehe..

Cool layout. well done, Debi!
Jessica

Time to show off some layouts I made again..

Hi,
Are you busy preparing for tomorrow? Or are you the kind of person who already has it all finished and has got some time to relax?? Well, I'm trying to make my creative process more scheduled, I started making plans last night for how my creative week will be.
Last night I made two more layouts for my designer Karel, she has some REALLY cute stuff on her homepage Http://craftyaccents.com
I made these from some of her kits and freebies:

*From a freebie called Pink Christmas Scrap*


* From kits, "Belive in the magic" and "Chilly Friends"*

I also made a layout using Karels snowball from the kit "let it snow" and some freebies from my designer June over at Cen's Loft


Usually I'm not into being mean to cats or any other pet, but I had my son right beside me while making this, and he wanted the snowballs in this so I just "had to" make it fit somehow.. And I think it looks kind of cool now ;o)

I also made this one from my own creations..
The paper was made as a part of a customized kit I did for a customer. I did include some of the papers I made for that customer into the Golden retriever kit freebie *yes, I decided to keep it a freebie* so you can get them if you like this paper.. The rikrak was made with help from June, thanks a lot for sharing your experience!
Well..
After bragging like this, I'm gonna clean my computer a bit, and then I'm gonna make you a freebie and also some things to add to the upcoming store!
So I'm kind of busy today too..
Have a good day, I'll be back with your freebie!
Oh, I put the Cat Minikit on 4shared too, grab it here!

Jessica

Even more layouts.. *happy*

Hi all!
Wow, I'm really touched by all of you..
There has been over 120 people emailing me, some just to say thanks and to tell me I'm in their prayers, thank you, and some to send me links to places I should look at as a new designer struggeling to get somewhere, and then we have all the people sending me their layouts made from my kits, they are lovely, thanks SO much for sharing!!!
And then we have the people who want in on my CT, and some who wanted to be my friend.. and even some who liked my stuff so much they wanted me to help them in different ways..
I really feel honored by all this, No words can describe how much I aprecciate your concern and taking the time to write me.. Thank you all very much!!

I'm having lots of meetings today, so I don't know if I'll have time to make you another freebie today, that's why I posted two yesterday.. But after my meetings I'll try to find some time between feeding and bathing and putting my son to sleep.. and maybe I'll be able to post something new then.
I'm gonna make something for tomorrow anyway, that's for sure.
But as for now, I just wanted to share the layouts I recieved, this one is from Vanessa, using my Golden Retriever kit:


Chewie is way cute, isn't he? Thank you Vanessa!!

I also recieved this one from Pia in Sweden.. Thank you for sharing, Pia!!
Her kitty is really cute too, isn't she? *Since it's a Calico I dare to call the cat a she, since no male cats can have any more than two colors.. hehe*

Well, yet again, THANK YOU EVERYBODY for all your comments, emails, prayers and sharing experiences, thoughts and links & layouts. You all made me feel a lot better, I want you to know that!
Take care until next time!!
Jessica

More layouts made from my creations, thanks a lot!

Leaonna posted me a super cute layout of her doggie Thorr, he is tooo cute! Thanks a lot leaonna, I love it! I love all the cute layouts you have been sharing with me, and I do wish to thank you very much for all the posts, comments and emails.. They are all highly aprecciated, Thanks to all of you!
Here's Leaonna's layout of Thorr:

Later.
Jessica

Good morning.

Hi all.

Today is a new day. I hope we can get over yesterday, and move on?
I behaved childish, and I am sorry for that. I'll behave from now on. I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to all of you who sent me emails and sweet comments, prayers and cheering words, they all mean a lot to me, especially at a time like this.
To those of you that I might have hurt, I'm sorry, I wasn't really thinking. That's why I'll be removing the posts about last night soon.. probably tonight.
Anyway. I thought I would tell you some things before sharing a freebie again.

First of all, I had a CT call because I'm about to start selling my creations more professionally than over this blog and email. I would like to have a CT ready for the day when I need it to spread the word of my creations.
I got lots of emails yesterday, and I found a very talented woman who really wanted to get in on a CT of mine, Marilyn.
She is in some other CT's and she's also very gifted when it comes to making layouts, and I'm sure we'll be able to see her beautiful creations soon ;o)

I also recieved another layout made by Carol, using my "glitter and fur" kit.

I thank her for sending that one to me, Carol is also a wonderful designer, she sent me a link to her gallery, and she's gonna think about joining my CT. If she doesn't have the time, then I'm absolutely fine with that, and I'm thankful for her taking the time to share her layout with me at all! Thank you Carol!

I also understood last night *Swedish time..* that most of you can understand I just had a rough time and a bad day, and that I in no way meant to affend any one of you, For that I'd like to say thank you.

Some of you asked me what I have for sale. Well, I'll make a list and add it to the right on my blog, and if you are interested please EMAIL me and tell me what you would like.

I'll also find a way to post a permanent "planner" for my freebies, "what's up next" so you can tell when your "kind" of freebie will arrive. Of course I'll post them in the groups and on digiscrapdepot and scrap-gratuit.fr as usual, too.

Well, that's my plans for now.. I'm ending this post with my freebiepapers and overlays.. I'll add something more later today.
Prewiew of the papers and overlay:
Get it here.
Take care!
Jessica

Variation is good ;o)

Since I'm getting a bit tired of making freebies, even though I love it.. I need to get scrapping a bit too, and I made some new layouts tonight, these are made from Karel's Kits:

Kit: Chilly Friends



Kit: Let it Snow


Kit: Thanksgiving Memories

Visit Karel over at Craftyaccents.com

I'm about to start scrapping some of June's stuff, lots and lots of her freebies from her blog Cen's Loft are super cute, and I'm behind in my scrapping because of my designing.. ;o)
**UPDATED!**
I made this layout from some of the freebies over at Cen's loft, and I also borrowed some snowballs from Karel's kit Let it snow
Here it is:


Bye for now!!
Jessica
