More challenge layouts!

Hi everyone!
Here´s some new layouts that I made for the challenges over at TDC (The Digichick).

First off is the Use It All challenge. You get a mini kit from Snickerdoodle Designs and you have to use ALL that´s in it:

You´re also free to add thing if you want to. This time I decided that I would only use the stuff that´s provided but I did use a template by Aimee Harrison:

Next up is the Designer Spotlight challenge and in July that´s Aimee Harrison. This time the designer provided a free template to use and I found just the perfect kit for what I had in mind:

I made a layout about my summer booklist:

I actually love this kit so much so I decided to use it for another of the TDC challenges called Top Ten. Mine´s about the book series I love to follow and always look out for new ones - obviously not all of them are going to have more coming! 

Of course my layouts are linked to my gallery at TDC for full credits. Hope you will do some of them too!

Hugs, Carina

Ex Libris

If you love books and reading like I do, you will just adore this new collection from On A Whimsical Adventure:

All the packs can be bought separately if you want to of course, but I think it´s nice to see them all together like this. I´ve linked the pic to the collection in the TDC store. 

Here´s my first layout using this awesome bundle:

For my layout I used the kit, transfers and stamps + word art collection.

Everything is on SALE this weekend so go and get it for a bargain price - you will LOVE it!

Have a wonderful day!/Carina

My first two weeks are done!

This year I´m determined to stay on top of my Project Life album and now I can proudly say that I´ve done the two first weeks of 2013. YAY! Here they are:

As for now I´m just going with what feels right for the moment when it comes to colors - totally random. But I feel that it´s just like life itself - it´s not perfect or color coordinated. I´m making mine hybrid so here´s stuff from all over the place. Here´s some credits:

*Mari Koegelenberg*Rebecca Wagler*Juno Designs*Miss Tiina*My Mind´s Eye*Echo Park*October Afternoon*Reprint Artstamps* Prima Marketing....

I also got two new books that I feel so inspired by:

The book on the left is by Tone Finnanger and has a lot of wonderful sewing projects. The one on the right is by Anna Örnberg and contains loads of unique and beautiful jewelry projects. It really itches to get started with something here... ;D

Hope you all get to have a wonderful week!

Hugs, Carina

Lots of random stuff!

Hi everyone!
Today I´ll be posting all kind of stuff as a change.

Let´s start with the project "One little word" - or OLW as the common abbreviation for it. The first time I came across this was on Ali Edwards blog and I´ve been doing for some years now. The word for 2013 took it´s time but I finally decided to go with this one:

I guess I just wanna feel the joy in life more often...These last two years have been a struggle - take my word for it.  I´m not sure where this is gonna take me, but I´m all in!

Next I wanna show you a photo of me - yes ME! - and how my look´s changed just over one year:

I´m so happy I decided to let my hair get longer again. I feel so more comfortable in it.

I´ve been up to some serious shopping lately:

• The winter sales has started here in Sweden and I got these from my fav shop Noa Noa:

• I got some new scrapbooking goodies:

...and soon I´ll be getting ALL of these too:

• Some new books are soon arriving to me:

 

• BUT the absolute most FAB thing that I´m getting is this little goodie:

YES - it´s RED and I LOVE IT!!!

I know - that´s one crazy shopping spree right??? Now I´m putting away my wallet for some time...

Last today I´m gonna share something with you and that´s the fact that this New Year I´m gonna make a resolution! I´m gonna start my new healthier life with eating more GI food and start to exercise again.

So if you have any good recipes to share I´d love to know....

If I´m not checking in tomorrow I want to end this post with saying:

Have a safe and wonderful

NEW YEAR!!!!

Lots of love

Carina

A good read

If your´re anything like me and have a looong summer vacation you really enjoy a good read. The other week I went to the library and got my hands on quite a few books that I really want to read. I also made a layout about it using a lot of goodies from Juliana Kneipp:

for full credits please click here...

Then I got really lucky when I went to one of the thrifty stores nearby. They were selling 10 books for 10 SEK! Wow! Is that a bargain or what???

Four of them are really for my scrapbooking/crafting. One is gonna be an art journal of some kind and the other three are for scanning and using in my crafting. BUT I got six novels to read...;D I love a good bargain!

To top it all of here today I´m showing the latest release over at Digital Design House by Juliana Kneipp. It´s a collab kit called GAME! and it´s a re-release....

If you hurry you can grab this 30 % off TODAY over at DHD by clicking HERE. 

I have made a new layout with this one:

Now I´m wishing you all a good night (it´s 22.39 here) and I´m off to see if I can´t make a little free something for you.....
