The Card of the Week 
goes to...
Nina
This card just jumped out at me in the gallery. It's funky, fun and full of life. I adore the bright happy feeling it exudes. For all of you that were wondering "Stort Grattis" means: 'Big Congratulations' in Denmark.
One of the reason I love 2S4Y is for our huge international following!

You can see more of Nina's amazing talent on her blog: Nina krumelurer och konst (igheter)
Thank you Nina for making such a stunning card, please email me your address so I can send you your prize pack from Making Memories For You!

Laura's Sketch 10









Clean & simple, my motto in life. I thrive on zen or simple living. I function better as a mother and a wife when my life is organized, this even comes down to an empty inbox!

This way of my simple living definitely translates over to my creative side, my cards.
Does your personality or way of living show in your creative work?

Here are just a few helpful hints to live the Zen life

• Clean your scrapbooking table.
• My personal favorite, empty your inbox!
• De-clutter your mind, body, and home.

A good start is to clean out one drawer a day:) My good friend Kazan taught me this one years ago!

Our Splendid Design Team
once again outdid themselves this week with their stunning creations!
