Merry Christmas!

Hi there..

Sorry I haven't been here, I was away for the holiday, and so I didn't get to a computer.. I did however take som pics of our christmas celebration, for the first time ever..*lol* normally we donät take pics at christmas, I don't knaow why.. but now I did!
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!!
Hugs to ya all!!
Jessica

Update..

Sorry I haven't been around as I used to.. It's a busy time here, we've been christmas shopping, cooking, decorating and- running between meetings. Plus Lucas just got the CHICKEN POX! Great timing, don't you think? *lol*
Well, step backwards a little.. I've been running on meetings lately, since I got the chance to start learning even more as a designer and more about computers in general too, and I got the oppurtunity to make the digiscrapping and designing my full time work, with Lucas on daycare so I can focus a lot better too!
So my boyfriend, who's a wis on webdesign, agreed to help me create a new site where I'll have not only freebies, a blog and galleries for my and my CT's/customers layouts made from my creations, but also a store.
It'll have a pretty easy address, something like Nexa.se or something.. Not decided yet. Any suggestions are more than welcome ;o)
In the future, I might even start a forum if I get a lot of visitors, but that's far ahead in the future! *lol*
This thing with me getting into digiscrapping and all, starts January 8th, and hopefully there will be a site then, but if not, I'll start out here until it's finished!

So tell me, what kind of things would you like me to have as freebies or kits? Color themes? special items? or anything else?? Please tell me, this is a chance for you to get what YOU want from scratch ;o)
Most of my present freebies will be gone then, I might add, but I'll make new ones, of course..
I'm thinking of a scheme (weekly) between 9am and 4.30 pm and 1 hr lunch, and I'll put in everything from "inspiration surfing time" to tutorial testing to freebiemaking to kitmaking and scrappingtime for CT's (and for my own pleasure of course) and that's the better way to get something done, I think!!

How about that? *lol* I'm all excited anyway, it'll be sooo much fun!
Ok, I made a new lo' too, here it is, the horse is my old one, pic was taken when she was 4 years old in 1997..


I made it from a kit in the " a year in rewiew collection" over at Scrappin Digi kreations

It's made from the "January" kit. BEAUTIFUL colors!! Made by G. Dupus. **Thanks!**

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

Feeling a bit better though not all good yet..

Hi.. I'm back and I've made some small changes here..
First, I moved the storelink so you can always see it and get there easy. Then, I made a new blinkie for you to grab. (on the right) And I also added a new CT blinkie, since Leaonna on my CT, wanted me in HER CT as well.. and who am I to say no to a great friend? *lol* She's doing beautiful things, and if you haven't already been to her blog, I suggest you go there soon!! There are FREEBIES, guys, hehe..

Another new thing will be something maybe not all that fun, but I decided not to give away freebies as often as I do now, I'm all stressed out and I don't want to feel like I "have" to make a new freebie, I think that might take the fun out of it.. I may be wrong, but I think there's a risk..
So I'll post some freebies a week, but not every day.
Since I'm now also in the CT for Scrappindigikreations.com *they haven't sent me a blinkie yet, but I am..*lol* promise, hehe* plus Leaonna and the old ones, I feel like I might need some scrapping time too, not just designing time ;o)
I'll try to catch up on MY CT's freebiekits I promised them, and I'll also try to scrap some, and when ever I feel like it, I'll give away a little freebie.. Don't worry, it'll be more than once a week, that's for sure. I know myself.. I'll probably have to stop myself from giving away stuff five days a week, so you'll probably get a little bit more in every freebie insteda of lots of small ones..

Any suggestions and opinions are welcome!!
Take care everybody!!
Lots of hugs,
Jessica

A new freebie for you!

Hi there everybody!

I made you another freebie, and this time it's some papers with snowflakes, some trees and a beadframe and a beadstring in matching colors to fit the snowflake papers. I hope you'll like it!
I'm thinking of making you some cardboard frames, are you interested in that? I want to know what you want, and what material.. would you like velvet, silk, leather, silk, glitter (silver, gold and so on) or cardboard, or what do you like?
Is there any particular theme you want? Please tell me, I want you to get happy!
Ok, enough, I guess you want your freebie, huh? *lol* Ok, here's what it looks like..
If you like it, snag it here!
And don't forget, I would love to show off your work with my creations here if you send me some lo's!! Same goes for my store items, of course. Have you been to my store yet? Everything is $1, and you get a free kit when you shop! Even commercial stuff!!
Go have a look, that's for free..*lol*
Ok, I'm off to post a letter and do some shopping before I get my little guy from his daycare.. so this is bye for now.. Take care!!
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

Some news!

Hi all!!

I just wanted to give you some news, first, I added a possibility to give away a gift certificate for my store over at Craftyscraps. Just press the button on the right, and follow the instructions!
Second, I am adding a new kit to the store. This is also a dollar, and remember, anyone ordering this will also recieve the Reindeer Kit as a bonus!!
The kit I add looks like this:
It has 24 items, and if you click you can see a bigger prewiew! There's a frame for 7 smaller pics, something I never made before. And a "ribbon" more like a "chain", I like that very much myself, it was great fun to make ;o)
Tags, buttons, a charm, papers, "ordinary" frames, a sticker/wordart, paperclips, and some super cute BOWS that I got from MICHELLE, the sweetest of the sweet!! She let me borrow the bows for this kit, but she made them from scratch, I just colored them to fit the kit! THANK YOU Michelle!!
Now, the upper case Alpha I gave you, will fit this kit perfect, and I'll make the lower case soon too, maybe tomorrow if I can find the time, so check back often if you want it, it'll be here soon!!
Now it's time to go to bed.. past 2 am here, hehe.. I wanted to finish off this kit!

Take care until next time!
Jessica

I'm back with a new freebie!

Ok, so now I made you another little freebie.. Or, well, ROBIN L madetwo Quickpages in this freebie, but I made the kits she used ;o)
And I also added a Santahat I made, hope you'll be able to use it.. Especially since it's only my 2nd attempt, hehe..
The prewiew is this:

And you can get it here!

Tips on more freebies is always good!! It may pay off, as you can see.. *lol*
Take care!
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

How I helped Michelle ... ;o)

Hi there, again.

Now that Michelle decided to make a blog freebie out of the kit I helped her design I think you should go and get it on her blog, after all, I made lots of it, and I had great fun doing it, plus I think it can be useful too..
The kit I helped her with looks like this (Prewiew taken from the Craftyscraps blog):
I hope you like it!
Head over and snag it from Michelle here!!

Lack of inspiration.. HELP!

Hi!!

I have a bit of a panic attack, I need to be really inspired this week to be able to finish up the stuff for the store.. But I have a HUGE lack of inspiration!! *grr.. bad timing!*
At least I made the CT a little blinkie, so they can put it on their blogs.. it's made from the new banner I made last night for the store.. I like that one myself actually.. But still, I need ideas. WHat kind of items do you want me to sell? What themes??
Please tell me.. Nexa79@hotmail.com is my email address!!
Take care, I'm off to get my son from daycare now..
Jessica

New little freebie, finally ,o)

Please send me some tips on what kind of freebies you'd like.. Ok? Thanks in advance!
Jessica

A small CT..

Hi all!!

Hope you're having a great weekend? I'm at my boyfriend's and we've been shopping for Lucas' upcoming birthday next sunday..
He'll be three years old!! Time sure flies... *lol* to think it's been three years since I had him, I remember going home on my own birthday, on dec 5th, after having him on dec 2nd.. hehe.. that was the beginning of a never ending "toghether celebraton" of both of us at the same time.. *lol*

Anyway..
I'd like to tell you I have found two great members of my CT, Marilyn and Tracy, both very talented, and sweet!
I still want some more people on my CT though, so if anyone's interested, just send me an email.. The address is still Nexa79@hotmail.com
I'll be back with a new freebie soon.. promise!!
Take care!
Jessica

What's this?!?

Hi!

First, there was some changes of the plans today. I went to my boyfriends and I didn't think I would.. so I haven't had the time I thought I would to make you a freebie or a new slide.. Sorry. I'll try to make it asap.
I helped one of my designers with a little project, and choosed to make that priority one, since she has soo much at her hands right now. i'm honored to even be asked to help a skilled designer out, so thanks Michelle!

When I had a look at the comments on my freebies,I suddenly realized.. somebody has been STEALING from me!
I have uploaded some kits to my 4share that I never put out a link to, I made some ordered kits for someone, and that someone has downloaded once, but it says 5 downloads. And my Cowboy and Golden Christmas kits, that I've uploaded to save me some time when I get into Michelles store, and haven't said it to anyone at all, has 1 and 2 downloads. HOW can that be??
I asked the staff of 4shared, and they had only one explanation and that is somebody has been stealing, since I don't have a password.
I am SO disappointed! Can't you just ASK for the things? Am I not being generous enough?? I don't get it.. WHY do such a thing???
I really got sad and from now on, I'll password protect my stuff, but it feels weird to have to do that.. I thought people could be a little bit more honest..
So it's not a biggie, not too many dl:s, but still.. TOO many anyway...
Who ever did it, I'll probably never know, but SHAME ON YOU! All of you others, THANKS for NOT taking my stuff without permission.

Take care!
Jessica

I hope you'll have a wonderful Thanksgiving today!! Since I'm from Sweden I never did this holiday, but I know it's about eating turkey and mashed potatoes, hehe.. Lots of food, that's what I know. We have tons of food for something called "Midsommar" in June, *Mid summers eve* and that's something I don't think is done in USA..
Traditions are different around the world, but generosity is all the same ;o)
And since I feel generous today too, I'll give you some Metal Wordart pieces I've made..
I hope you'll like them!!
They look like this:

And you can get them here!

I'll keep creating for my upcoming store now!
So far, I made 5 commercial use overlays and a cowboy kit, I've also made the papers for a skiing penguin kit, and a teatime kit.. Plus I've made the papers for the girly variant of yesterday's freebie ;o) and I've also made some horsey stickers..
Lots of goodies that is!
prices will be no more than $3 but most of the kits will be $1 or $2.
So be sure to have a look when I open!! It'll be over at the Craftyscraps store, Michelle is kind enough to let me have a piece of her store as mine!
If you have any suggestions for somethings to sell there, don't hesitate to email me! I'm thinking of making a cheerleading kit too.. I might add.. *lol* thanks to Carolyn and Cori Ann, hehe..

Well, I'm not gonna "eat" more of your time.. Get my wordart, please leave some love and if you make something cute, cool pretty ocr funny it would be SO fun if I could see it ;o)
Hugs to you all!
