Goodbye 2010

Hi all

Today I want to share a post with a bit from 2010, an amazing year with amazing experiences and lots of great memories!

It has been a busy year. I have been so honored to be a part of Prima's and Onirie's design team trough the whole year, and in April I was invited to The Color Room's DT, and of course accepted this honoring invitation.  As a mum to a sweet and very active 3-4 year old girl and a DT member for three DT's, it is a very busy life, but so fun! ;o) And my life went even more busy in August when I went back to school to study Graphic Design. As a student and a mum, life just went too busy, and I didn't manage to meet all deadlines anymore on all my DT's. So it was with a heavy heart i had to make a decision to step down from The Color Room's DT in November 2010. It has been an amazing place to be a part of, an amazing DT with so many talented and sweet ladies from all around the world! And The Color Room is a truly great site, so inspiring, not only for those of you who visit the site to find inspiration, but also for us who has been so honored to be a part of the team. It inspire all of us!
So THANK YOU to the girls at The Color Room who gave me this honoring opportunity, I really appreciate it and will look back on the months I were on the DT with happiness and lots of lots of great memories! I will miss you all!!!

In June I was in Dubai, and it was the most amazing trip I ever have been on! It filled my heart with so many amazing moments and memories, even though I was there for just 3 days. When I came back home it  felt like I had been on a month long trip, that many amazing experiences I had with me back home in my luggage! Everything was  more then I could ever dream of... First of all the all the people was so welcoming and sweet, they had so big hearts and truly made sure my trip was extra special. The classes was so amazing too, all the ladies were so sweet and so talented! And their country is more then I can describe with words, Dubai is just too amazing! Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Bin Haider and Family for inviting me to your home country and to bring such amazing moments into my life! I will never forget you or this weekend in amazing Dubai, and I hope I will see you all again one day soon!

Here is my window view from my great hotel room;

And here is Paper Lane's store front, the amazing store I teached at!

I have also had the honor to work on designs for Prima's first book which was released at CHA in July. And there has been monthly works for magazines around the world, like Scrap Pour Tous in France to Scrapbooking Memories in Australia and Scrap-Info in Russia, and so on... You can see lots of my published works and the pages they are on in my gallery here in my left menu called "Published". I will upload more in the next days, and some pages still have to wait... ;o)
It all makes me feel so unbelievable privileged, to be so lucky to be able to work with what I love the most and to share my works with all of you. I wish to thank all of you who invited me to design for you in 2010, I truly appreciate it, thank you so much!

Scrap Pour Tous is a great French Magazine which I have worked a bit for in 2010. On issue Autumn 2010, you can see one of my works on the cover (on the left), and more works inside, with lots of lots of flowers! Scrap Pour Tous is an truly inspiring magazine, so if you can get your hands on it, I really recommend you to check it out!

And here, on the Winter issue, you can also see one of my works on the cover (on the left) and more inside! This time for the theme "Bollywood" and more!























I have also been so honored to guest design for several brands who all are so amazing and have such wonderful products! Melissa Frances, Dusty Attic, ScrapWare, 3ndy Papir and Layers of Color, - thank you to all of you for these great opportunities!

And for 2011 I have lots of exciting things going on, lots of big secrets are coming up! ;o) I can't share anything yet, but will share some news already tomorrow ;o)

Thank you again to all of you who have made 2010 to an amazing year! - to all my dear blog readers, to all the amazing DT's I have been on, for the magazines and books I have been so honored to work with, and most of all; to my amazing and very sweet family who makes all of this possible for me and who always support me, and thank you to ALL of you who have made 2010 so special to me! BIG HUGS!
