Oh yes! I’m having a one week holiday! This is so relaxing after all the stress I’ve been going through lately. I’m enjoying staying in my pajamas untill noon and playing with my daughter, and spending time in the galleries and forums!

 

I disabled my freebie and there’s something I need to get of my chest. I have put many hours of work in those frames and it just felt good to give them away, but apparently, some people didn’t read my TOU or they just didn’t care. I have received an email from a very attentive co-designer that one of my frames is being SOLD on a quickpage at Shutterstock. This is not only wrong, it is so RUDE to steal other people’s hard work and trying to get money out of it! And this person uses LOTS of other designers’ work to sell! Andreas007, if you’re reading this, I insist you take down my creations from your store at Shutterstock. You are not allowed to do that as I own the copyright on that frame, and it’s meant for personal use only!

 

Ok. I had my little vent. Let’s move over to some more pleasant stuff.

How about a sale?! The Funky Playground is celebrating National Digital Scrapbooking Day all week long!

 

You don’t wanna miss out on all the great new stuff we have in store, and we have a new designer! Look here to see who it is. I just love her stuff!

 

And I have a new paperpack. Yesterday, I went to a flea market and I found some real treasures. I bought a newspaper from 1934 with the news of the death of the king on the front page. I found some old postcards from early 1900’s and a couple of handwritten letters from the beginning of this century as well. So great, and so special to hold papers that are almost 100 years old! And thus came the idea for my new papers. Hope you like it!

 

 

They are available here.

 

And here’s a page I did with them.

A while ago, I wanted to scrap and nothing decent came to my screen. I hated it, I don’t get to scrap that often anymore and then I did and had a scrapper’s block! But this week, I definately had my mojo back! I finished FOUR pages! I already showed one at the top of this post, and here are the other three.

I hope you all have a great week! Make sure to check the forums at My Scrapbook Art on the 3th of November (NDSD) because we’ll be doing all kinds of fun stuff and giveaways!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for all the wonderful comments on my freebie! I’m glad you like it.

I feel a little better now, but it still isn’t completely over. I think it has alot to do with stress, I’m always tired and there’s always some part of me aching lately. I’m looking forward to next week, only one week left before the Autumn vacation. I’ll have one full week to recover and hopefully… design and scrap!

 

Last sunday we had a suprisingly warm day over here. We were able to sit in the yard in tshirts. And if you are from anywere around here, you know that is quite something, in the middle of October! I took some great photos of Roxanne and edited them in Lightroom, they look adorable! They are a bit grainy because I had my ISO value set too high (could kick myself for this!) but I think in some cases this adds to the artistic value of them I can’t wait to scrap them all! I have finished one page already, you can see it at the end of this post. I’m looking forward to scrapping and digishopping a little this weekend.

 

Talking about shopping, have you seen the new Collab kit at FPD this week?!

I think it is amazing, probably the best we ever did! Gina Marie Huff from Weeds & Wildflowers contributed to it, being our guest designer this month, and she created the coolest alpha and doodles. This kit is SO HUGE, it has 44 papers and about 100 elements in it, PLUS the alpha! And it’s available for $9 this week only! You can take a look at it here.

 

And here is a page I did with it:

 

 

I also have new alpha, well 2 actually :

 

Available here.

 

And here is the page I scrapped with one of my last photos of dd. I finally got to use these beautiful lyrics from a song by Martina McBride. If you have a little time to read it, I would definately recommand that you do, it is so heart touching! I never heard the song and I will definately look for it, but the lyrics just sent shivers down my spine. You get a better chance of reading them in my post at the MSA gallery here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ugh, I’m sick. Gastroenteritis, and I feel terrible. I have slept nearly all day and haven’t eaten a thing. I’m going to keep this short, going to snuggle up on the couch again, but yesterday I made a freebie for you and I wanted to post it anyway! I hope you like it. You can grab it here. Please don’t share this link with anyone and if you can, leave me a little comment, I’d like to hear what you think of it!

Sorry, this link is already gone!
