"Get to Know Me" Blog Hop by Stuck On U Sketches :)

Hi - and welcome to the norwegian stop of the blog hop!! 

You should have arrived here from Shona Keehn, if not - go back 

to the start of the hop at Stuck On U Sketches! 

I hope you have enjoyed what my team members has created 
and written about themselves. 

It has been a strange experience to focus on me. Because I am behind the camera most of the time I struggled to find a picture (as I had already made a layout with my wedding pictures a few weeks ago...), When I found it though, it was perfect. My layout is about another crafty side of me. Besides paper I love yarn, and I knit as often as possible. When I read a book, when I watch TV and when I travel. The picture is an example of the last. Picture is taken last summer on our trip home from summer vacation, and when I need to sit still for some reason - I knit (we fly ourselves if you were wondering about the headphones and microphone LOL I do not have a good explanation for the 

Lighning McQueen pillow thing around my neck though...). 

I had never guessed that a layout about me would be blue, but here you go...

My text is of course in norwegian, but my title can
be translated to " Traveling with yarn and needles".

I have used papers from Papirdesign and Fabscraps. In the next picture you can see my journaling spot better. This is a die cut from Nellie Snellen. I just love this shape!!

You can also see the crocheted flowers I made for this layout -perfect for a layout about my relationship with yarn, and you can see them even better here. I have embellished them with some vintage buttons that I have from my late grandfather's old store.

The gorgeous paper roses are btw also from Papirdesign.

Then on to answering those questions:

1. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Why?
It will have to be some kind of orange color because of my hair :)


2. What would people be surprised to learn about you?I have a masters degree in Musicology with soviet music as my speciality, and I have studied russian language (never learned it properly but will get back to that again when the kids are older).


3. What 5 things are always on your crafting table?Distress inks, my distressing tool, my cricut, pearls/rhinestones and different kinds of glue.


4. Your go-to embellishment is ...
Pearls and lace!! (could not pick one - sorry)


5. What is your all-time favorite crafting tool?My distressing tool from Prima - made by Ingvild Bolme.


6. Tell us about your family .. first in one word. Then in a sentence or two.
My one word is whimsical. My family is full of love and always fun to spend time with.


7. What is your dream vacation?
Disney land and Harry Potter world!!


8. Who is your favorite crafty company?I love Prima!! But I also need to put a word in for the scandinavian producers, the norwegian  Papirdesign and the swedish Maja design. Gorgeous papers and also embellishments

9. Tell us a bit about your crafty style.

I like soft colors and distressed edges. My style is a bit too symmetrical I think, but I am working on that LOL.  

10. Where do you live? (You can be vague is you wish.)

I live in Northern Norway.

Hope you enjoyed your stay here with me. Before I send you on I have a little blog candy for you. Leave a comment and become a follower to be able to win a bunch of my home made crocheted flowers. This picture shows a little selection, but I am leaving for a easter/spring vacation after this weekend and will of course bring yarn, so I am thinking there will be more :) 

My winner will be randomly drawn after this weekend!

I hope you have seen that there is also a yummy blog candy at Stuck On U Sketches.

You find the details on how you can win the SOUS blog candy on the SOUS-blog, but I will give you a sneak peek:

Thanks again for stopping by. Your next stop will be Theresa Kelly!!
