And here is layout to show how I used it. I've used stuff from Sausan, Ronna and Carrie all available at SBG

Dear Daughter

SBG always put up a good challenge and you really got to put your thinking hat on to make the layout's that fits but you do grow as a scrapper:-)
I'm so grateful that my oldest daughter always makes sure that I know what's going on in her life and she always makes sure that I get a CD with her photos from her travels around the world. It's a comfort when you don't talk to her every day that we can text each other and we try to talk once every week even if it cost a small fortune. Love e-mail but she can't always access a computer.

Paper, wordart, pin and tab from Jessica's Unamused kit
Paper, letters and paper for writing from Maya's Promise to write and Weathered Treasures kit and the deligt wordart is a freebie from Maya.
Wordart in the left corner from Designer Digitals, also a freebie.

I must tell you how much I love SBG and what those girls have done for my creativity, they finally made me going out of my box and to make layouts that is coming from the inside and not just how they look but with feeling. Not that everyone like the layoust but to me they're very special.

I've also put together a Creative Team who'll play with my kits:-) After I've made the kit I'm always tired of them and don't feel to make layouts too so I need my team. I got many who wanted to be on the team and tomorrow I must have made up my mind and it's much harder than I thought.

Last day of my vacation:-(

I can't believe how fast these three weeks went. It has been a wonderful time and we've spent most of it at the beach and it has been so great. I made a new layout last night for a challenge at Scrapbookgraphics about new holidays. Mine is called Special Sisters Day.

A windy day and no beach:-(

Last week of my vacation and I'm not longing to get back, I love to spend the days at the beach and the slow pace we're living at the moment. We did visit Copenhagen one day and shopped!!! Love it and so did Catharina lol. I love those days we spend together and just us it's such a qualitytime that we miss during work and school. I need new ideas for a new kit but I'm thinking of something pink, brown, green and white.

For your eyes only

My new layout with Kelly Shults great kit Simply Divine at SBE. We spent all day at the beach today so we're a bit tired now:-)

Two new layouts at Scrapbookgraphics.

I love this "new" store and gallery with contests and a very good feeling.
