Little boy and his cookie!

A little birthday card to a boy who will be 5 in march.
Used another cutie by Mo.
She has a lot of nice images for boys and before i was always struggeling with finding something nice for boy cards, but after i found her shop, i was in heaven. She has a lot of different ones from babies to teenagers.
So if you're having the same problem, take a look in Mo's shop!

PS! I couldn't find this image in the shop right now, but i'll look once again and add the link when i find it;)

edit: I just got an email from Mo and i have both bad and good news.

Bad news is that you can't buy this image from the shop but the good news is that you can get it FREE!

All you have to do is to go and join Mo's Digital Pencil's group over at Paper Craft Planet. You will be a member of group where like all the other talented members you can show off your work and last but not least you'll get some other images free as well;)

What happened?

When i started to blog two years ago, i had a plan.
It was going to be a blog about our life here in Norway, so that our friends and family in Estonia could get a little insight to our everyday life. I planned to show some pictures every week and write at least three times a week.

Well... what happened you ask? You know, i've been asking myself the same thing. Now my whole blog is about making cards and scrapbooking, well not so much about scrapbooking anymore since i haven't been doing that for a while either.

I was wondering here if i should make me a blog for my hobby and one for our everyday or i will just have this one. I have been writing too little already, so i'm afraid that if i would have to update two blogs, i will not write at all anymore, lol.

We'll see what i find out. So long, i will try to write a post about random things which DO NOT include my hobby once a week. Sunday maybe..hmmm...

Young Love is a new image from Mo. It just makes me smile and gives the warm, cozy feeling inside.

This couple looks just so in love and happy. Adorable!

When i made this card i wanted to make it a bit shabby and girly with soft colors.

I love how it turned out.
I actually started with the sketch from Mo's challaenge blog, but i rarely manage to follow sketches the whole way. :)

Mo's Dream Team Monthly Blog Hop

Today I have a special Valentine's Day project to share with you.
Yeah, you guessed right, it time for the monthly blog hop and this month I'm the hostess.

I choosed a little goody/favor bag for Valentine's Day as our theme and Mo made us a new special image to use called "Cupid in love". Adorable
So one... two.... three....start... at the bottom of this post you'll find the Blog Hop List and who to go visit next!

Made this little cupcakebox to hide this little teddy i bought to a friend of mine. I tried to keep the box very simpel so i didn't embellished it at all on the sides. I found out that the image and the little window are enough. After all how many of you keeps all the giftbags/boxes you get?
I cut away a bit of the image - the lace around the heart and used an actual lace. It gave the image and my box just what it needed to look perfect.. well in my eyes at least;)
The pictures are yellow because of the light inside, but you get the idea.
