This layout is of the first time my youngest son rode his new sled in our yard. This was a very cold day (-26 degrees Celsius) and he was dressed up to his ears with double outdoor clothing. Only his face was showing and the cold weather turned his little cheeks red. It looked like so much fun that Daddy joined him, and what could be better for a small boy than sledding with Daddy in the snow!

I am a 40 year old daughter, sister, wife and mother with two adorable boys who offer endless inspiration for my scrapbooking. I live on the Aaland Islands, archipelago between Finland and Sweden. Inspired and coached by a very dear friend of mine, I started scrapbooking a few years ago. I still feel that I’m a rookie and there is so much to learn about techniques and tools. I have found that I love papers, beautiful papers, so much that it is sometimes difficult to cut them!
