Getting ready for the holidays

Today I started decorating my home for the holidays,
I even dressed the tree but only to realize I don't
want it to be white and silver this year!

This was after hours of work..
Oh well, I better get some shopping done this
weekend because what I'm dreaming of is a
gold tree, really stunning and very American.
You guys really do have the most beautiful
Christmas trees! What's the secret? :)

I also wanted to share this little video I made
to show you holiday preparations from the last
two years. This is what Christmas in Sweden looks
like, at least for me and my family :)

More free printables on their way!


Hi all!

Are you getting ready for the holidays?
Have you started decorating your home yet?
It's still a bit too early for me, instead I've been
keeping myself busy listening to Christmas
tunes while designing some more printable
Christmas tickets!

I will be sharing these with you all tomorrow,
Friday, for free of course, so feel free to
stop by then, I'll be here waiting :)
XOXO

Edit. Sorry I didn't get these up last night I had
to go to work and didn't get home until late.
But soon real soon I will post these :)
Sorry to keep you waiting!

Freebie - Vintage Christmas Paper Pack

It's time for another freebie. And of course it's christmas related.
In this paper pack you get 4 300dpi digital papers.
Remember you can always print them out and use them on
your paper scrap projects or why not christmas cards, tags
etc? The best thing is you can use them over and over again!

Download Vintage Christmas Paper Pack
4 free for personal use jpg papers packed in a zip

I can't get enough of these lovely old vintage images found
at Graphics Fairy, just stunning. Be sure to pay her a visit!

If you like the freebies you find at this blog please tell your
friends, I love to share my work, and the more the merrier :)

And a closer look at the papers included in the pack
I really wanted a sort of rough, torn feeling to the papers, but
also keep the very glamorous feel of how I imagine a vintage
traditional Christmas. Red and gold, warm vibrant colors,
but I also added a brown/ice blue paper for your winter
projects and layouts.

Printable vintage style christmas tickets

Hi all!
I'm slowly recovering from my flue.
Been sick for almost 3 weeks and I can't wait to get back
to my normal life again.

Meanwhile I want to share something a bit different with
you all. These tickets were inspired by old vintage photos,
Christmas cards and all around Christmas spirit.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

They are ready to be printed (in a high photo quality for the
best result) cut and used on your paper scrap layouts,
Christmas cards, gifts and altered projects.

All I ask in return is that you link back to this blog
if you post your finished projects online.
This way more people can find their way here and
download the tickets :)

Oh and when you're done downloading you must take
a look at the wonderful blog Graphics fairy where I
found the vintage images used in this project.

To make your tickets more personal use the edge of your
scissors to distress the edges and for an aged look use a
bit of fluid chalk around the edges.

Sjuk blogg

Ja det är visst vad miss cutiepie gått och blivit :P Jo du gissade
rätt, jag är fortfarande sjuk. Varit hos farbror doktorn idag och
gjort en ordentlig undersökning, usch usch!
Är satt på röstvila och sjukskriven resten av veckan. Min influensa
har visst förvandlats till en stämbandsinflamation. Hur som helst
hoppas att ni lyckas hålla er friska. Bestämt om ni ska vaccinera er
mot influensan?

♥ Freebie - 3 layer cardboard flower ♥

Hi all!
I've been sick for about a week and that's the reason
why I haven't been able to check in :)
Today I want to share this 3 layer cardboard
flower. It's a .png ready to be used on your
digital layouts. You can of course print it out
as well and use as a decoration on your paper scrap
projects. I recommend adding a bit of extra
gold stickles on the edges for some extra
texture, and maybe even some staples overlapping
the digital ones.

- Be sure to click the image to download the
high quality version of the flower

♥ Calling all Swedish readers ♥

Jag tänkte bara påminna mina svenska läsare om
att jag även har en svensk blogg där jag fokuserar
mer på pappers scrap, mina projekt, recept,
musik och andra smarta tips.
Alltså allt som denna blogg brukade innehålla
innan jag kom in på den digitala banan.

Besök mig gärna där och lämna en liten rad
så jag vet att du inte sprang vilse!
Portkod behövs inte, min dörr står alltid öppen!
Miss CutiePie Inspiration


I just wanted to remind you that I also keep
a Swedish blog that focus more on paper scrap

everyday life, music, movies and lots more :)

♥ Free Printable Christmas Tags ♥

Have you started working on your Christmas cards yet?
Only 2 months til December. This year I'm starting early
I don't wanna panic in the last second.
Maybe you're thinking about making some Christmas tags
as well? It's always nice to spice up your gifts
with something you made yourself.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I found these lovely vintage images at the wonderful
blog, Graphics Fairy, be sure to check it out if
you didn't already. I got so inspired and voila I
created these printable tags for you to download.

They can also be used for your Christmas cards.
I hope you will find use for them ♥

I recommend that you print them on a thicker
white paper, cardstock works great.

Since I got back from London I've been super
busy trying to arrange everything from our
big move to collab kits at MLAS and just
trying to catch up on everything.
Not to mention we've all been sick.
BUT finally I will take some time off from
my more than busy everyday schedule
to bring you these amazing projects by
super talanted CT members!
Sorry you had to wait for so long girls! ♥

First up is a beautiful creative and fun
minibook by CT cutiepie Petra.
She used the Vintage Chic kit to scrap her
wedding photos. I love how she made all the
pages into different sizes and shapes, it really
gives the book an original and interesting look.

Be sure to click the photos for better quality
and a bigger view of all the gorgeous details


Petra also made this gorgeous digi layout with more of
her wedding photos. I love the black and white
with the soft pink shades and the red heart ♥

new CT Cutiepie Dalis! She is a hybrid scrapper who
makes fantastic projects just look at this one:

London in a few days I didn't want to leave you
empty handed.

That's why I've put together this
fun template pack of 4 different travel themed
templates. The ideas is that you will use them to
scrapbook your own vacation photos!

1. Download the Travel template pack

2. Use one or more of the templates to make a
layout using papers and embellishments of your
choice, all I ask is that you use one of the travel templates.

3. Upload your finished layout to the
Miss CutiePie Flickr group.
It's free to become a member and
you can enter with as many layouts as you wish.

When I get back from London I will pick the
winners who will receive their very own
Vintage Chic kit free of charge!

My Life and Scrap are going on vacation

Shortly after I had announced my BIG sale
the MLAS site went down, because of all the
costumers rushing in to buy my kits.. lol just
kidding, but one can hope right ;)

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Because of this My Life and Scrap are moving
to another server that can handle the increasing
traffic to the shop and that will take about 48 hours.
Due to all this I will extend my sale to give
you all the chance to pick up my kits for
a true bargain! So keep checking back for
more updates on how the big move is coming
along and I'll be sure to let you know when the
shop is up and running again!
Thanks for your patience! ♥

Ps. today I've been working on your
freebie, and I will soon release it plus
I will announce a fun giveaway contest
to go along with it :) Talk to you soon!
♥XoXo♥
