Karens life, love and joy…

A long time ago when Lightroom was still in a beta version I raved on the blog about how fab it was..and then forgot all about it! LOL
But yesterday I downloaded another trial version of it – and I am just as excited about it as I was then.. I think I will have to buy it when my paycheck comes Here are 2 examples. The before photos are straight of the camera and the after is me playing in Lightroom.

Sorry I know I have posted these photos before, but they were the only one I had loaded on my computer yesterday

I know there are some buy-presets around on the web – but please also check these free presets out first…or play around yourself with the settings!

I have a lot of LOs all lined up just waiting for their release..can´t wait for the designers to release their new goodies! This weekend I also made 2 paper LOs with Dreampapers´s September kit – I loved the kit, full of yummy goodies!

But here is a LO I can show you – it is made with Kay Miller´s My pretty kitty..but as you can see you don´t have to own a cat to scrap with the kit

Have a fantastic sunday and thanks for stopping by

So today I have the day off and I am going on another 18 hours shift. I tried – really tried – to stay in bed for as long as possible, but 10 am was my limit and now I am just chilling on the coach

Yesterday I did some serious scrapping! 1 paper LOs and no less than 4 digi LOs!! 3 of the digi LOs are for later reveal, but here are the rest..

First my paper LO with the new BG line..I just love it, it is perfect for my little guy!

And here is the digi LO – The photos show my nephew Christer. He loves to play with this huge ball – especially if he can get my husband to make it jump up and down while he (my nephew) is sitting on it!

Yesterday I got some comments on my photos of me that I have shown lately..actually they are just selfportraits that I shoot in the garden with my hand held out and then just CLICK CLICK like 30 times or so

A few of them turned out okay, but there were tons that I have deleted!
You should try it – it was actually quite fun!

I made this LO from the photos:

Thanks for stopping by

So – I survived my 18 hours shift Time flew – and I actually got around 2 hours sleep! I guess I was lucky, cause usually people don´t sleep at all..so a tender debut for me This week I have 2 of those shifts in a row - let´s see how that goes!

I have some exciting CT news – but don´t think I can spill yet! So stay tuned But I can reveal that it involves one seriously CUTE kit – I actually had to go buy the perfect shirt for it LOL! So this time a kit inspired me to a photo instead of the other way around
Here is a fresh new LO – I love to scrap when I get home from work..soooo relaxing!
This is actually a lift of Kim de Smet - I am quite happy how it turned out!

I have to share this video with you with a danish group called Saybia. They had some monster hits a few years ago..and now they are back with this beautiful little song called Angel. Take a peek

Thanks for stopping by!

Okay the real life took me by surprise! It is actually SUPER hard to work full time as a doc LOL! Tonight I am going on my first 18 hours shift..kinda scared of it! What if I get so tired that I can´t even stand up? Well..more on that – tomorrow when I wake up

Yesterday I got a new MRI for my back – it will be interesting to see what it shows!

So with all this going on I really enjoy even more to scrap when I am not at work – totally relaxing! Even though my stack of need to be scrapped photos is shrinking!! I don´t take nearly as many photos of my little guy as I did before starting work..I need to remind Jacob to start shooting too!

Here are some of my latest layots:
Look at Kate Hadfield´s new tape alpha – isn´t it just adorable! LOVE it!

The next 2 LOs are made from The Lilypad´s newest products in TLP colors. Run over and check out the new blog too!

I also scrapped with one of my alltime favorite kits by ShabbyPrincess: The Olivia Collection XL! Gorgeous, I feel so happy each time I open the folder with the kit in it!

Okay that´s it! Thank you for stopping by!

My week as a guest blogger at Nancy Comelab´s blog is over – so now I am baacck!

I have to blog about this music video at my blog too even though I also blogged about it at Nancy´s – I think it is hysterical funny!

Alanis Morisette is my hero these days! She made a copy of Black Eyed Peas´ hit “Hump” – and it is to die for! She is making fun of Fergie rubbing against every male in the video, and I have read somewhere that her copy video was a critique of the image that bands gives the woman the role of being only sex kittens..instead of intelligent women! Well, I sooooo agree Alanis! Let´s do lunch someday
I actually love the way she sings the song – but listen carefully and hear how stupid the lyrics are! Dumb and meaningless..Here goes:

I started work for real today..My back started hurting after 4 hours – so it became quite a long day! But I loved the job! I love to communicate with patients and tons of different personal groups, nurses, assistens, secretaries and the cleaning guy. In what other job do you get to meet and interact with that many people and just feel at home right away? Gotta love that! This weekend Asbjørn went on an applehunt in our garden..but he didn´t bother picking the flowers, just ate them right off the tree! LOL!

Cute huh? I also did some scrapping – here is a LO using Kay Miller´s All Organic and Paw kit!

And I did this for the Hodge Podge challenge last week:

Okay I am off again..I am super tired, so I think I will turn in EARLY today (it is 8.45 pm here in Denmark lol). Nighty night!

In July when I had a little money left to spend (!! I know !!), I decided to buy myself a GC to Songbirdavenue – kind of my own home grab bag

Today I saw the kit for this month..it is gorgeous!! But what really made me want to get it is this months donation purpose..everything goes to Make a Wish foundation! I love this organisation! It helps very sick children to get their wishes granted! Can you imagine how much joy the children will get with us just donating a few dollars?

Thank you Songbirdavenue for making Make a Wish this months charity!

Here is a preview of the kit…only 8 dollars! It is a collab with Robin Carlton!
