I live at a small island outside the west coast of Norway with my husband and our two kids aged five and nine.
Right now I am a student, working on my Masters degree in Media while freelancing for my local newspaper as a photojournalist and doing occasional photosessions/weddings in between. Yep, I’m another one of those scrapbookers with fancy camera and hopes of becoming a (press)photographer. Working a year as the photographer for the local newspaper confirmed that it’s indeed what I want to work with when I finish my MA, at least 🙂

What is your current favorite color combo?
White, black, turquoise! And if it shimmers I’m happy! 🙂
What is your favorite scrapbooking supply?
Right now I am weak for mist or paint splatters of any kind, and to use my babystapler on everything 🙂
Why do you scrapbook and how did you get started?
Like most scrapbookers it started w/a need to do something “more” with the pictures I had to take of my kids – but soon turned into a “mommy-needs-her-creative-outlet-time” which just had the added bonus of documenting the kids every now and then. I.e., something I started to do for the children turned into something I need to do for myself. Googling “scrapbooking” because I had a vague idea it might be just what I was looking for for the pictures from my daughters christening apparently sealed my fate. Darn you google! :p
Who inspires you?
Oh, there are so many..but why don’t I share some fellow Norwegian scrapbookers with you here; Bibbi, Ingvild, Gudrun, Carrin, HegeAL, Lula are a few of my favorites…and my RL friends whom mostly used to scrapbook but knit or crochet these days – they still inspire me when we once in a while actually get to scrap together…! 🙂
What is your favorite thing about scrapbooking?
Seeing my kids look at what I make/have made and “ooing” and “aahing” because mommy made something involving themselves. I dunno, maybe it gives them extra confidence when they see mom spend lots of time making stuff with their pictures..? (at least for now, until they grow into the awkward “stop-it-leave-me-alone-mommy”-phase :p)
