Marinthe

2011-07-18T14:21:00.003+02:00

5 days old

3 weeks old

Our sweet little babygirl was born on the 19th of June, 3 weeks earlier than my due date, we both are doing very well now.
We named her Marinthe.

The last 5 months we've been on a rollercoaster of emotions, its strange how happiness and sadness can be so close together...

I am hoping to start blogging and creating again soon! :)

Hello Dear Blogreaders!

2011-02-27T13:40:00.003+01:00

I am so sorry for my poor neglected blog! :)
I have a good reason though, I am now 20 weeks pregnant!!!! :) Its our first child, an we are so very happy!
Everything is going well, and last monday I had my 20 weeks ultrasound, and everything looked good.

So the last few months I've not been able to do anything crafty, as I am struggling a little bit with my back problems, but I am getting a lot of fysiotherapy.

So I thought I share a card I made last summer for an online magazine.

I will be back tomorrow or so to share some vintage freebies with you!

I am hoping to start visiting all your blogs again, I've missed that so much...
Hugs, Sanny

Hello, I 'm back from my blog break, I hope everyone has had a wonderful summertime!
I've been busy with a few different things: we started redecorating our house, and thats not finished by a loooong time! :) But little by little it will... someday.

I also worked on an album from Albelli, that I won at Digiscrap. Here are a few pictures of it, I love how it turned out!

I started a new blog where I can post my "cute" cards, I love coloring with copic markers lately, its getting quite addictive! :) I want to try it out on my vintage stamps, I am wondering all the time how that will look!

This Skinny I 've made for Monique, for our monthly swap.

A few weeks ago I visited a brocante market, which I love to do, I am always on the lookout for vintage photos that I can use in my work, especially the sweet little children, and I was so happy when I found some really nice ones.

Here's another freebie for you:
