That's all for now. See you when I stop coughing...
Not that I'm claiming my stuff to be fabulous... no, this skate has a rip here and a wrinkle there, and it's far from perfect. But it surely was a lot of fun making.
Can you ever get enough of this colour combination? No. I ADORE everything Pink Paislee has done lately, and right now, I'm in seventh heaven, because a little birdie told me that the Nook January kit will feature their new Cupid line, and guess who will be guest designing for the Nook in January? Yup, yours truly :)
So, anyway, I have done some crafting over these last couple of weeks, among other things this advent calendar for Agnes. The small packages contain Polly Pocket stuff, because I foud this really cool package containing one doll and a multitude of clothes and accessories. Perfect for a little girl who is crazy about little dolls with little clothes.
I also made a little Album with our wish lists, from a Maya Road Coaster Album, and lots of Pink Paislee papers. Yes, I have fallen so hard for the colour combination in this collection. I honestly can't get enough if it!
Every member of the family has a spread of his or her own in this album. Albin really wants a Lego Mindstorms NXT for Christmas. I have told him that the only way he is going to be sure to get one is to save up for it. But there's no harm in adding it to your wish list too, is there?
Agnes wants a computer, and guess what colour she wants... Yeah, pink, what else? Well, she's not getting one this year.
As for me... I want a Sodastreamer and a bedroom makeover, complete with new (white) wallpaper and new (white) furniture. I guess I will have to make it myself if it is going to happen. That could keep me busy during the Christmas holidays. And what P wants... well, I haven't photographed his pages, because I don't know what he wishes for and neither does he... as usual :)
On this one I have used up every little scrap I had left of the Industrial Park papers from Scrap Within Reach. I totally love these papers, and the sweater Albin is wearing on the photo is a perfect match!
Here's our cat, Lillan. The papers are spanking new Life Stories from My Mind's Eye, printed on kraft paper and totally gorgeous. I have never been a big MME fan before, but hey, everyone can change their mind, right? 
Some Pink Paislee... I still have a few tiny scraps left of the papers I bought from this line, but they are really, really tiny.
Oh, and I got a great excuse to pull out my favourite October Afternoon papers of all time - the house paper and the cloud paper from the Weathervane collection. The challenge was to make a layout involving some kind of movement, and I hope I succeded by setting some of the clouds loose by mounting them on foam squares, and by doodling little swirls to the Quickutz leaves. What do you think? Can you sense the movement in the layout?
Oh, well, off to hang some laundry. You can't scrap all day, can you? I have a couple of more layouts to share, but I will get to that later. Have a nice Sunday!
I made it from of a frame and a cardboard box. I can't get enough of Pink Paislee's Mistletoe & CO. I got all the papers from the collection, and I just pick them out over and over again. They are so pretty! 
Some details.
That's all for now. I hope to show you a few more items tomorrow. There is a Virtual Crop going on at the Nook, and I've been doing a few of the challenges, so I have quite a lot of photos to show :) 
Inside, I put a miniature winter landscape. This is our house, according to Agnes, and she wants us to move into it as soon as possible...
Aren't these papers just beautiful? I want to decorate my entire house in these colours for Christmas! But I guess I'll just have to settle for a few altered objects here and there. Nevertheless, this collection ROCKS.
Just look at all the gorgeous embellishments from Making Memories. The zip fastener is from a pair of jeans my DD grew out of.
Have a really nice weekend all of you!
Just look at this gorgewous flower. Guess what? I've ordered more of those...
OK, so now I'm headed off for work for the last time this week, even though it's only tuesday. Sometimes, it's nice being a teacher, for instance this week, when we're having fall holiday. Well, it's always nice being a teacher, but I think we all needed a break now. I need to catch up with things around the house, and the kids need to be able to sleep a little longer in the mornings. And I look forward to being able to photograph another DT layout, since it's always too dark when I get home.
See you!
Yes, that's it! To celebrate the OZZ-team (Original Zutter Zister, that is, NOT old), we're having a super duper fantastic BLOG HOP this week! So, here's what you need to do:
So, here are my pages for this album. I made ten copies of this double pager layout, as did the rest of the DT-girls. Isn't that fantastic? Now I have, in this album, original pieces of artwork by all of these fantastic girls! I will cherish this album forever!
The photo is from this summer, when we took a trip to the Western Town of High Chaparral. Of course we had to take a ride on the train, which gets robbed every time! Albin got dragged into the action when one of the bandits walked right up to him and asked in a harsh voice where the gold was. Albin answered, in an equally harsh voice: I don't know! Aww, he was so proud of himself afterwards for having stood up to that nasty bandit! He did know it was an act, but it still was a bit scary for the little ones.
A little closeup on the flower, which I've cut out with the Slice, sanded slightly, and then rubbed from the back with an embossing tool against a soft surface to give it some 3D effect.
The challenge here was to alter an empty toilet roll, and my toilet roll is the stem for this flower... or whatever it might be.
Anyway, the papers I have used is gorgeous Winters Wings from Webster's Pages.
That's all for today. It's really really cold and windy outside, and it's a bit cold in the house too right now, so I guess I'll be snuggling in the sofa with a blanket for the rest of the evening. 
The other day, when Agnes was home sick, we put on warm clothes and went out into the garden and played with some fallen leaves. We foud a big, ugly toad hiding under a tarpaulin next to the garage, and we built it a new little home from stones and leaves where it could spend the winter, sleeping. Agnes didn't want to kiss it to see if it would turn into a prince, and I can't blame her. It would have made a cute photo, though. The photos I got of her were awfully cute too, and this one begged to be put on a layout asap.
That said, it's definitely time for bed. 
Here's my 3D effect - some of the letters are mounted on foam scuares to make them higher than the others. I outlined them with a thin black pen to add to the impression that they are floating a little bit above the layout.
Here's what I did from another one of the Cybercrop kits. Now, this is more of what I like. You can't go wrong with pink, can you? And this reminds me of how long ago it was since the last time I used pink. I bought a bunch of pink flowers a while back, and I also won a big bag of pink roses, and I haven't touched any of them. That's probably because there's nothing pink in the new G45 collections, which is what I have been using the most lately.
And, incredible, no ink, no sanded edges and no edge distresser anywhere on this one. That feels a bit weird, actually.
I almost got the Slice overheated working on this one. *LOL* I cut, and I cut, and then I cut a little more! You see, I haven't used my Slice much lately, because it's been so darn slow! Cutting a somewhat intricate shape took like forever, and you have to sit there and hold on to the little thingy all the time, because otherwise it will wander away and cut all over the place. But with the new design cards it's possible to increase the Slice's speed, so now it's really really fast, and cuts all the shapes in notime. It's a lot more fun to use it now.
The top pin is covered in Glossy Accents, and then I just poured glitter from a green Pink Paislee Pixee Stix. I love it! I have to get some more Pixee Stix, they are so great!
Yeah, that's definitely the last post for today. Have a nice Saturday night!
Here's an invitation card. I wonder if anyone would come?
A little gift box with some spooky content, perhaps.
And another card, this time with an older Making Memories paper and a few things from the slice.
All of these were made for the cybercrop at JP Hobby.
