My printer is missing a color!! So I can't print any photos... *sighs* What's a girl to do???
Well, this girl decided to open one of the several albums I have filled with old photos and start scrapping some of these. And this made me think about how much my life has changed during the last five years - and this layout is a testament to that.
This layout is also an experiment. I just finished reading Cathy Zielske's two books and finally tried to put her idea of leading into practice. And I love the result! The text block is so easy to read and it looks elegant and pretty - and it's so easy! You just have to look at the size of the font you use and then manually select the distance between the lines to be twice as big as the font - and voila, pretty!

My photo printer is broken. This is a big crisis situation in a scrapper's life! But it has forced me to go back to my non-digital pictures and see if I could find something to scrap. Yesterday, it was a picture of Gizmo but while searching for that picture, I started looking at all the other old pictures - and that has meant that I since has been wondering how much my life has changed in the last five years time.
Five years ago, I lived at Nyborgvej in Odense, in a 5th floor rental appartment along with Henrik and three bunnies, Mulle, Gizmo & Xander. I worked at Folkeuni and was a counsellor at the same time as I was a student. We didn't have a lot of money but spent quite a few, on pizza from Valentino, Odense's best pizzaria, among other things. Many evenings we ran around searching for coins and pizza notes so we could get 10 stamps and 50 kroner så vi could get food...
It feels like an entire different person's life, almost. At least as another life as I today sit in Peder's and my house in Kolding, with a dog and hamster. Only thing left from back then is that I'm still a studnet (still missing that darn thesis). And then the memories, of course...

Min fotoprinter er gået i stykker. Det er en dyb krisesituation i en scrappers liv! Men det tvang mig til at gå tilbage i mine ikke-digitale billeder og se, om jeg kunne finde på noget at scrappe. I går var det et billede af Gizmo men det at sidde og lede efter det billede, gjorde jo, at jeg også så på alle de gamle billeder – og det betød at jeg siden har gået lidt og tænkt over hvor meget mit liv har forandret sig på de sidste 5 års tid.
For 5 år siden boede jeg på Nyborgvej i Odense, i en 4. sals leje-lejlighed sammen med Henrik og 3 kaniner, Mulle, Gizmo & Xander. Jeg arbejdede på Folkeuni og var faglig vejleder, samtidig med jeg var studerende. Vi havde ikke supermange penge, men brugte alligevel en del, blandt andet på pizza fra Valentino, Odenses bedste pizzaria! Mange aftener rendte vi rundt og ledte efter mønter og pizzasedler, så vi kunne komme op på 10 stempler og 50 kroner og kunne få mad…
Det føles som en hel andens persons liv, næsten. I hvert fald som et andet liv, når jeg i dag sidder i Peders og mit hus i Kolding, med hund og hamster. Det eneste der er tilbage fra dengang er at jeg stadig er studerende (mangler det skide speciale!). Og så minderne, selvfølgelig…
