Christmas Tresaures Blog Hop!

Welcome, welcome to the 27th stop on our celebration blog hop! If you have missed out on the first 26, the hop starts over at Lisa Williams blog.

This is the second blog hop I´m doing to celebrate my graduation from Jessica Sprauges The Art of Digital Design.

Just to repeat some of the stuff I wrote in the first hop (in case there is any new visitors ;-P):

I was born a designer, loving colours, craft and all things that would make a mess. In my former life, I was an Interior Architect, University Degree and all. Now I´m working part time at my LSS and spending the rest of my time holding classes, crafting and designing. I´ve been paper crafting for about 18 months, and scrapbooking for a year, and I knew I wanted to design my own stuff from the beginning.

 When designing, I do not think digital/traditional scrapbooking. I just think scrapbook. Would I like to use this element on my LOs? What is it that I´m craving for when looking for my next buy? This has lead me to one important decision,  all my sentiments will be available in multiple languages. For now that is English, Spanish and Norwegian. I´m Norwegian, and I scrapbook in Norwegian :-)

I am also planning to add SVG files for my labels, swirls and word art, so that the lucky owners of (many) digital die cutters will be able to print and cut my elements to use them in their scrapbooking!

Over to the fun stuff :-) This is my contribution to the Christmas Treasures Collaboration Kit. I hope you like it! I would love to see what you create with my kit, and if you send me a link  I´ll send you a link to a dowload for one of my other kits :-) (I would also love if you left me a comment if you download this kit!)

Just click here to download the kit!

Hop over to Nadi Designs to get the next digi kit and get one step closer to completing this huge Christmas Treasaur :-)

One more blog hop!

I´m taking part in one more blog hop to celebrate my new title: Certified Digital Designer :-) This time we will be giving away a Christmas Treasures collaboration kit. I´ve been working on mine for a few days now, and I love it!

Scrap,scrap,scrap Blog Train!

To celebrate the fact that I am now Certified Digital Designer, I´ve joined in on a blog hop that will take place from the 14th to the 18th of October! This is so exciting!

When desiging, I do not think digital/traditional scrapbooking. I just think scrapbook. Would I like to use this element on my LOs? What is it that I´m craving for when looking for my next buy? This has lead me down many roads, but the most importaint one is the fact that all my sentiments will be avaialble in multiple languages. For now that is English, Spanish and Norwegian.

I am also planning to add SVG files for my labels, swirls and word art, so that the lucky owners of many digital die cutters will be able to print and cut my elements to use them in their scrapbooking!

I´ll start out by sharing a little sample of my first kit. The hole kit has 60 papers, one alpha and about 120 elements, all divided into different packs so that you can pick and choose what you like. No need to fill op our harddrives with things we will not use! Just click on the preview and it will start downloading straight away :-)

cleaning up my studio...

Hi everybody!

I´m just starting work at my LSS, Familieminner (Family memories), and OMG how much fun I´m having! Not only do I get to help customers with selecting colors, showing them different techniques and stuff, but I also get to create using all the new stuff for displays in the shop! And I don´t need to pay for it!! AHHH... the joy! I´ll take a photo off one of the new LOs next time I´m at work...

I´m enjoying Claudine Hellmuths class over at BPS so much! Only problem is that she start every new task with "clear up your working space..." This has been haunting me, and today I´ve jumped in! The last three hours has gone into putting all the stuff that need to be sorted into boxes (I´m not kidding, my dog wanted me to lift him into his corner), and cleaning the shelves and such. I hate organizing stuff into dusty shelves and messy boxes so I always have to start with that... Of course I did not take a phot, but imagine a bomb in a studio, that has been left and piled up on for two months....

I´ve also joined the twitter madness, you can find me @SiriFjortoft

And I have finished two of my digi kit (simply rustic) previews:

This is the items that I´m handing in for my exam (I passed the theory yesterday :-)):

I´m also planning to create a mini kit freebie (using elements from my huge kit) that I will be giving away here. I just need to find the time to finish it off!

Class is over :-(

Today is the last day of a five weeks intense class over at JS, and I´m so sad it´s over! I´ve created my first ever digi kit, my very own paper and embellishment designs. I´ll be sharing some of it here as a freebie later :)  I´ve created this digi LO using my kit:

It´s been so much fun, and I can not wait to get started on my next project. I´m just doing the finishing touches to my simply rustic kit, getting it ready for the practical part of our certification exam, and then I´ll be jumping in to get started on the next one!

Luckely, I´m starting a new JS class on the 28th.

Its a free class, and if you´ve never taken a class with Jessica I would truly recomend you to jump on this chance! I can not wait to see what new goodies she has to share :)

I´m also getting ready to visite Claudine Helmuth @ home. She is teaching a 12 weeks class over at BigPictureScrapbooking, and I can not wait to get my hands dirty with paints and inks again. Digi design is all good, but I need ink stained nails to feel alive!!  

I´m hoping to make some LOs this week, it´s been a long time since I made one. I´ll share as soon as I get started!

This weekend we have been celebrating my Granddads 80th birthday. We´ve had a full house, 17 people and four dogs. It´s been great fun, but I think that both my dog and me have been a tiny bit too stressed out... I´m still not as well as I think! My aunt and uncle are staying for a couple days more, and they will be helping me/us find a solution to Rolfs fear of men/need to protect me. My aunt is a certified dog trainer, and both of them have been training search and resque dogs for years. I know that as soon as we get this sorted out, both Rolf and I will get a much less stressful life :-)
