I live in Denmark where I was born and raised. But from 1996 to 2004 I lived in the US (Michigan); it was a great experience. I got two kids - boys - age 9 and 11. I have been married to my husband for 20 years.
Educationwise I have a mastersdegree in marketing and business organization. I teach market economics, innovation, advertising and marketing at a college - I love my job! Though it does take a lot of time.
If you want to swap - please visit my Flickr page @: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pjevsen/
Please PM me, if you see anything you want.
My creative outlet is to make ATC's, chunky pages, cards and scrapbooks + journals. I love to experiment and used a lot of different techniques - among my favorites are: Collage style, rubber stamping, adding different kinds of embellishments and paint etc. I also have a passion for journaling and using quotes and words of wisdom in my creations...
On a 100% honest note: I am a paperholic! A woman like me can never have too much paper - any kind, color, shape, size etc. will do... I do not discriminate :-)
I am a very openminded person and quite hard to offend :-) I love pretty much all ATC themes except for stuff that is "too" cute. I have tried cartoon ATCs but for some reason they just do not work for me very often... I have seen a few very well composed cute ATCs though.
My favorite ATC themes are categories like: The 7 Deadly Sins, Words of Wisdom, Song Lyrics / Title, Vintage Nudes, Vintage Burlesque etc.
My favorite color is Blue (Turquoise to be specific - I adore the "cleanness"), but Yellow is a very close second... Love the warm feeling of yellow. So I guess that I prefer the one of these two that adds the best feeling to the project.
Technique wise I love multilayer collage ATCs, and lately I have been experimenting with Zentangles and Zetti ATCs. I have also done one Steampunk ATC - and I really admire the artists who master this art.
I like to meet new people and get inspired by what they do.
When I am not buried in paper, rubber stamps, glue, embellishments and other creative materials I love to:
spend time with my family
shop
read (mostly crime stories and everything about ads + market economics)
all about computers (I'm a nerd!)
swim
run (every morning - I am not fast, but quite fanatic :-))
cook (mexican and asian food + vegetarian)
bake (love to experiment with new bread)
R.E.M
Bon Jovi
Coldplay
Aerosmiths
Nephew
I rarely have the time to watch TV - when ever I do it is normally the News or CSI :-)
I do not watch a lot of movies either, but when I do my favorite ones are action movies like:
The Rock (all time favorite)
Die Hard series
Indiana Jones series
I am looking forward to getting to know you - perhaps one day we will meet in the snail mail:-)
Yours
Pjevsen aka Erna

Hello I just wanted to say hello :-) happy new year and happy crafting! your ATC creative as always!
I am going back and tracking the origins and destinations of my swaps. WE did a Behind Closed Doors ATC swap back in '10. If you don't mind, could you share your city in Denmark? Thanks so much.
Hi! I'm so glad i'm your recieve-from partner for the sender's choice atc swap.. I'm still new at this and very very excited! I usually like to be surprised but i couldn't help it i just had to look at your flickr page!! When i work on my cards i aim to make funky weird collages (VERY MUCH like your style) but they somehow turn out more cute/fun than funky. There's a link on my profile to them if you want to see. Looking forward to your swap :D

Hi Erna! I was just looking through my ATC album, and wanted to let you know how much I love the Alphabet ATC series you sent me back in 2010. They are all so wonderfully done with great thought and time put into them. They are among my favorites, for sure! I just wanted to say thanks again, and I am still enjoying them immensely! :D
