If you’ve been reading this blog for a while. And if you care about scrapbooking. My guess is that you’ve noticed that I’ve been on a couple of Creative Teams. The one I’ve been on the longest is the team working with Sweet Tomato Designs product, and I’ve loved my stay there. Sadly Cara, the designer, have decided to step down from designing. I’m really going to miss her and her bold colors! Luckily she doesn’t retire as an online friend

Here is a page done with her latest kit Fallish:

Right now she has a huge sale at her store, but there is only one day left(!)

Here are a few of my favorite kits:

Please run over to her store and give her a good goodbye sale! Thanks.

Sweet Tomato Design is out with a beautiful fall kit. I used it to scrap one of my favorite weekends in September. The one where we went up to the mountain and visited my friend and her cabin. So nice to spend some time together, so nice to talk and drink coffee and be outside in the fall weather. I really love the feeling of the mountains, it makes me feel free and happy. I should go there more often!

I have two new digital scrapbooking pages to share. I made them with Raspberry Limeade a new kit by Sweet Tomato Designs. It’s brand new today and you can read more about it on her blog – or jump right over to Funky Playground Designs where she has one of her stores.

I always love the moment when the spring really takes over for the winter. When the snow is melted away and new sprouts are coming from the trees. That’s the time when I bring my cup of coffee with me outside. Licking some sun after the long and cold winter. And this spring, the spring of 2011, have been amazingly warm and sunny, so much that the birch already are green and beautiful a week before May even starts. I will enjoy this and keep spending some of my hours outside. The rain will come again , the chilly weather will be back. But right now the sun is here, the spring is in the making and everything thing wakes up to new life again. Even I can feel it.

Right now our spring is rather cold and cloudy. We could use some rain – to be honest, but I would like for it to come now and not at the weekend. Please?! After that I’m ready for warm spring weather again.

I tend to spend a lot of my days indoors, due to a couple of things (mostly): First my working hours tend to be in my office or somewhere else inhouse. Secondly when I get back home, there are plenty of tasks to take care of, like laundry and dishes that needs washing, dinner in the making. But when spring finally comes around I run outside to soaking it all in.

Look for the Capture Your 365 blog hop tomorrow.

Just a little note to let you know I’m not dead. Thankfully. But the season has been good, busy and filled with joy + a little bit of sickness. So there you have it, the reason I’ve been away for a while…

As usual I’m up way past my bedtime, so I’ll make this short and sweet. I just wanted to share a few news about a designer I CT for: Sweet Tomato Designs. Cara has decided to move her designs to one store only (where that is will be told on January 1st; follow her blog for updates). Because she is leaving her current three stores she’s having a huge sale right now. Click image below to jump to her store at Pretty Scrappy. (But hurry, her store(s) closes tomorrow.)

I made this LO with her last kit I Believe (I also used a template of hers):

Hope to be back soon!! I have so many things to share and show. I see that I have to fix the heading image as well – it’s winter around here and it’s snow, snow, snow and freezing cold. Right now 18 degrees Centigrade below zero. Brrr.. I’m bringing a wool blanket to bed tonight! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Cara of Sweet Tomato Designs have given me a place on her CT team. I’m so happy and can’t wait to start creating with her designs. As a CT for Pretty Scrappy (the store) I’ve already scrapped with two her kits, the Darjeeling Kit and Autumn Bliss

I love her deep, rich colors; the yellow in both of these kits are making me feel light and warm This is what I have made before (click images for credits and journaling):

And this one I made yesterday (with an old photo I’ve been waiting to scrap forever):

I only wish I knew when this photo was captured, but the cell phone ¨photo file doesn’t tell me that. My guess is 2-3 or something years ago. I know for a fact that it’s taken when we lived in the western part of Norway, but that is all (at least for now).

We got our first snow of the season today. I was planning moving to our new house, but I’m not driving on snowy roads with my summer tires – so now I’m blogging instead

Better go and pack a few more boxes, this snow is bound to go away in a few hours and then we’ll see if we are in the mood for moving like planned – or if we rather stay here a little bit more (having fun surfing on our broad band, hehe). In that case we are going to the store because we are out of a few essentials…… Anyhow, see you around!!
