About the designer

I'm a 36 year old single mom to Emilie (4 years in the beginning of March). We live in a suburban area - Vallerud - right outside of Oslo, which is the capital of Norway. I've been digi scrapping for almost three years now, and I kind of started the addiction by accident... I friend of mine introduced me to editing pictures in Photoshop, and I was hooked on it right away! I think that digi scrapping is a great way to show off a lot of memories in just one page. I started doing it because of my daughter - I want her to have some great pages to look at when she gets older! And also because I didn't find the time to put ALL our pictures in albums when I finally got them developed "back then"... I have to admit that I've never ever tried paper scrapping - I'm true to the world of digital fun!

However, I've just recently started designing my own designs. I started right before Christmas a year ago. I think I got my first designs out in the shop at WeDoScrap (now ScrapScandiStyle) in December last year. I actually remember it was a gingerbread kit! *LOL* My inspiration for designing might be a lot of things... It might be something my daughter is playing with or maybe a dress she's wearing, a beautiful flower, different color combinations, nice wallpaper, blogs... I never know what I'll end up with when I design a kit! That's what’s so fun about it! I usually start out with the colors I want, and work from there. I do my designing right in my living room, usually after my daughter has gone to bed. I wish I had more time to scrap and design, that's something I really would like to do. I've got my designs in four shops now - and I'm very happy about that!
