It’s been kinda quiet on the swissgirlDesigns Blog lately, huh! Well, that is probably
So let’s start this off with a little Sneak Peek to a layout I designed yesterday It’s simple, but different from what I usually do, because I challenged myself to use circles as the main focus Fun Fun Fun!! (to challenge oneself I mean..)
Then I got a bunch of pictures I thought I could share with you today. I made them a little while ago, when Adrian and I drove around, scouting for some rad places to have photo sessions!! It didn’t really matter that Adrian didn’t cooperate too well with modeling – we had a blast anyways .
Above: I know I know, you can’t even make out his face in this picture… BUT for some weird reason it just looks so perfect…. I think it might be the contrast between soft and hard…
Other than that…. Did you guys see all the new Collections that are coming out this Winter at CHA??? OMG, I am so antsy and excited!! Can’t wait to play with the new stuff!! I started a Pinterest Board where I pin all my top faves… Have a look
Last but not least: The Design Team Call for swissgirlDesigns will end TONIGHT at midnight, so if you want to give it a shot, this is your very last chance!!! Good Luck!!
Happy Scrappin’

It may sound really silly when I tell you, how I was begging Adrian NOT to buy me that expensive lens. I really didn’t want him to go and buy me that huge Sigma 70-200/2.8 OS for Christmas… For sure, it was kinda like throwing out money when you have to rent photo gear – especially when you are planing on getting one anytime soon anyways, but still.. (we wanted to rent the lens for the Yellowstone trip)
It may sound really silly when I tell you now, that I was almost crying when I unwrapped that second last present and I saw the black box with the Sigma logo peak through… Seriously, I was half crying and half laughing and telling him like a million times that he was a crazy man
Of course we had to go out and try it right away So after church on Sunday the 25th we went to Carmel Valley near Monterrey and took that one little side road called ‘Robinson Valley Rd’ and oh my goodness, we saw SO many animals! There were dears, all kind of birds, hawks, turkeys, a hare with his bird-buddy and…. a bobcat!!
oh, and not to forget the ‘Crazy Man’
What are your crazy Christmas Stories / Memories this year??
Happy Scrappin’
A quick update on the brand new swissgirlDesigns clear stamps: THEY ARE HERE I got the package last night and now the shop is all filled up I hope very much that you like them as much as I do
This time around the stamps are super super versatile! I will show you what I mean in a soon-to-come video But not today, since I am throwing a little ‘Santa Dinner Party’ and still have lots to do
The first set is called ‘Merry Christmas‘ and is made perfectly to add some Holiday Cheer on your cards, gift tags and other scrapbooking projects. I can’t wait to get my hands on the snowflakes and some embossing powder….
The second one is the perfect addition to about any stamp collection! It features a vintage world map and some great sentiments that will work amazingly in everyday or travel journals!
My friends from Germany have asked over and over again if I could do a German stamp set and I finally made the first one! It is very limited, so if you like what you see, don’t hesitate to get it now before they are gone
Also I have re-ordered some of the favorites from the past!! They are quiet limited – just saying Go check ‘em out
Until next time….
PS: There’s still time for you to possibly win one of the new sets
PPS: I’d love to hear what you think
