Hi everyone!

2010-09-01T13:59:00.000+02:00

Just popping in to say hello!! I have not fallen of the edge of the world - but as many of you know, I have have chosen to take a break from designing since my hubby is currently in Afghanistan and will be there until the beginning of November. Come to think I haven´t even opened PS for months...
Hope you all stay healthy, that is one thing I have managed to do on my break, I exercise for 20 minutes almost every day :) And it feels great!
Have a nice day!

Remember - you can still find some of my products at SSS!

Happy iNSD

2010-05-01T22:34:00.000+02:00

2010-03-29T11:52:00.000+02:00

Easter and a new grabbag :)

2010-03-28T17:11:00.002+02:00

I'm on a Easter break, sitting in my armchair with my left foot hight up, no crosscountry skiing for me this year...

I fell with all my weight on my left instep/ankle when I was at work last Tuesday. I was just popping out with some diapers and did not care to put on my shoes on - just went outside in my crocs... there was some new snow on the ground and suddenly I was in the air, falling really hard down on my left foot. I spent 2 hours in the ER, and fortunately the instep/ankle was not broken. But I can not step on it so the nurse gave me a pair of crutches to use and rekommended rest and cooling of the instep/ankle with a bag of frozen peas...

On the bright side...

I got time to do some scrapping and I have a new grabbag coming April 1st available in both stores, and a final sale at MLAS :o)

The grabbag will be available from April 1st. to 15th. and will be filled with all new products for only $4... More previews of the grabbag will be shown here later :o)

Designing on hold...

2010-03-19T16:53:00.002+01:00

I have some sad news to share with you... because of my family situation the next 7-8 months I have desided to put my designing on hold for the sake of my kids. My husband, who is in the Norwegian army, is leaving for duty in Afganistan, in the end of April, and he will be gone till the end of October.

During that time I will be alone with the kids most of the time, my parents live in another town and we have no other family nearby. The kids will have a long summer vacation from school, and we'll be traveling to see my parents and the rest of the famliy then. My computer time will be almost nothing compared to what it has been...

The store at MLAS will stay open till April 15th, and it will be on 50% off sale from April 1st - 15th. You will still be able to find my desing at SSS, but there won't be anything new soon.

My last template challenge at MLAS is up now, here's the template:

You can find the download and the template challenge here, the zip file comes with a psd-template, a TIFF-template and png files.

It's my birthday...

2010-03-03T09:16:00.001+01:00

...and here's a cupon for you to use in my store at MLAS :o)

please use bigO40KD for a 40% off all items on one purchase, usable till March 31st.

Down time at MLAS - some info

2009-09-04T12:02:00.001+02:00

Just wanted to let you all know that the site went down yesterday, sometime between noon and 12:30 Pacific time due to... You guessed it- we finally burst at the seems LOL. We've grown so much that we outgrew our old server and we're being transferred to our own dedicated server. This is a VERY good thing. We'll also have a Private SSL Certificate which will further secure our shoppers' information when they make a purchase.

We're really excited about the transfer, we're just sorry that it happened unexpectedly and we couldn't give anyone any warning. SO... If you could, we'd really appreciate if you'd spread the word in any way that you can -- your blogs, FB account, twitter accounts or post at DST or any place you can think of. We're anticipating 48 hours of down time, but these things are time consuming and it's possible it could take longer, so please be patient. We're REALLY sorry for the inconvenience and we appreciate you're understanding while we continue to grow.

Thank you all for making My Life and Scrap such a wonderful place.

Can you feel the love?

Come join us for the My Life and Scrap Layout Love Contest from July 1-31, 2009! Everyone is welcome!

The My Life and Scrap gallery is bursting with wonderful layouts, and everyone loves to receive meaningful comments! Come join us to see just how much love you can spread during the month of July, and you might win one of three fabulous prizes!

Here’s the scoop:

You MUST sign up over at My Life and Scrap to let us know that you are going to participate. You can sign up beginning June 29. The official contest period is from July 1–31, 2009. There is no deadline for signing up to participate, but your comments in the My Life and Scrap gallery will not count until you have signed up. So the sooner you sign up, the better!

Prizes will be awarded to the three participants who have left the most comments in the MLAS gallery during the contest period. We are looking for meaningful comments. If you just go through the gallery and say things like “Great layout” or “Nice job” you will not be eligible to win.

The three lucky winners will receive:

CT-call ended - please welcome new team!

2009-06-28T20:15:00.000+02:00

I have ended my CT call, and boy did I get some great applicants to my team... I had the hardest time choosing between all the great scrappers, and ended up with more CT-girls than I expected first! Well, I had to choose and here are my new girls:

Anne-Katrine aka akhn
Brandi aka brandi1010
Tracie aka marto_gal_30
Marlene aka Mar_lene
Valéria aka valeriapiemonte

I have some guests for August/September and October/ November too... I'll be back with their names when their time comes!!

Thank you all for applying!

Just a quick note...

2009-06-26T10:04:00.000+02:00

...to tell you that my CT-call ends 6/28 :)

I've gotten a lot of aplications from very talented scrappers, so it will be hard for me to deside who will be on my team. LOL - I actually thought of just taking on maybe 2 new girls, but I'll have to rethink that now! Gosh - there are so many great scrappers out there!

CT-call

2009-06-22T20:59:00.000+02:00

I'm having a CT-call... I have a few gorgeous scrappers on my team now, and I would love to add some more great scrappers... on one condition - you have to love templates!

Do you love templates? Would you like to be a part of my creative team? I am in search for a few great scrappers to add to my CT.

My CT requirements are simple:
- Make minimum 2 layouts a month (you'll have to use at least 2 of the templates in one package)
- upload to 3 galleries; MLAS, DST or DSA, 1 of your choice
- check in and post links on private CT forum at MLAS
- be active on at least one forum at your choice

If you are interested, please send the following to templatesbykate (at) gmail.com
- a short bio (tell me a little about yourself)
- a link to your favourite gallery
- a link to your blog, if you have one
- any CTs you are currently on

Hope to hear from you soon!

So I desided to go with a new blog for my template designs...
I will reveal all my new stuff here, my sales and other news related to Kate Designs.
As some of you may know I also sell banners and blinkies as K@trine's Blinkie Design, but this blog will be all about my templates, photomasks, clusterframes and other stuf I sell at MyLifeAndScrap.

So what's the story behind "templates by kate"? Well, Kate is short for Katrine, and used to be my nickname in high school. And, well, it's kinda easy and nice to use for my template design :)
