I got this amazing package from Katscrap the other day, and I couldn't help myself from digging into it right away. It was full of goodies from Crate and Fancy Pants, and loads of flowers and ribbons and stuff. I was blown away by the Valentine collection from FP, the colours are fantastic, and I have plenty left for som more projects later on.This first layout is made from a die cut paper from Crate, and one of the Valentine papers. The journaling spot is a FP overlay. Lovely, isn't it? I've used my brand new ♥Slice♥ for the title, and I'm absolutely in love with that little thing. This font is from the Noteworthy card.
The big flowers are also cut out with the Slice, and also from the Noteworthy card. I've inked, embossed, and layered them to make them look fuller, and than I've given them a finishing touch with a little glimmer mist, but you can't see that in the photo.
I did get some of my favourite Maya Road pins in the kit too. The little note is from the back of one of the Valentine PPs.
The next layout is all Crate. I used the Slice to cut out the tag, the title and the brown flowers.
And here's the answer to the question in the title: "Where did the pacifier go?" And it's here. I'm such a mean mommy, I took one of Agnes' pacifiers and cut it up to use it on this layout. But she isn't supposed to use them at all anymore, and that's what the layouts is all about. She thinks we've sent them all off to Santa, and he's going to give her a doll house instead. She does ask for them once in a while, but it was a lot easier to take them away than I ever imagined.
The last one is about our little troll. Dont you just love the Fancy Pants overlay tree? I've used the Slice for the journaling spot (those shapes were the reason I bought the Noteworthy card. I just love them) and the title.
I cut the title from the same paper as the one I used for the frame on this layout. It's rather heavyweight and with a nice structure, so it's great to sand a little, just like I did with these letters. The Slice leaves the edge standing up just a little bit, which makes it perfect for sanding.
So, that's all for now, but I have a few more projects to add in a day or two.
The sketch blog Kortskissen is up and running again, luckily, and there's a new sketch to work with. Here's my take.Kortskissen har dragit igång igen efter att ha pausat ett tag, och det passar mig alldeles utmärkt! Här är min tolkning av veckans skiss. Den underbara julrutan hittar ni hos Mirabyll.
The pile of Christmas cards here is getting higher and higher... luckily. It's soon time to start sending them off! I can't believe how quickly the weeks pass. Anyway, this one's made after Kazan's sketch this week at 2 sketches 4 you.
I made a couple of cards for the cybercrop at Stellas this weekend, and here they are. This one was made for a sketch challenge.
T
his card was a bit tricky to make. It was supposed to be a Christmas card, but you weren't allowed to use the colours green, red or blue (I'd loove to sneak in just a little bit of blue on this one) and you had to use some metal decoration. So I made this card all brown and white (Making Memories Mocha, of course, and some Falala vellum). I used a hook and an eye on the ribbon for the metal part, plus a pin inside.
This is the inside of the card. I've used yet another page from my old torn dictionary here.
Right now I have the beautiful November Nook kit plus most of the add-ons spread all over my desk. I'm lucky to have the opportunity to be GDT for the Nook this month and I looove this kit! It's absolutely gorgeous, just my colours! So I'm leaving you for tonight...
Another week, another sketch, and another fabulous designteam at 2 sketches 4 you. Yeah, I did apply (of course, who wouldn't?), but who could stand a chance against all that talent? Anyway, here's my take at this week's sketch:
There's a cybercrop over at Stella's, and I've been busy for sure. Still working on my last couple of things, but so far it's been four layouts and two cards done this weekend.This layout is for a challenge to use black and white only, not so easy, since I really really felt like sneaking in just a tiny red or blue detail, but I managed to keep myself from doing that, and this is the result. The journaling spot is from this girl, who makes the most fabulous things that she GIVES AWAY at her blog. Thank's Mirabyll, you're an angel!
And she had made a journaling spot in purple as well... Perfect for DD's Halloween dress. I have to confess... I made the spiderweb cake, got Agnes the witch outfit and took this picture only to be able to make something out of these papers and the glitter thickers... The lengths you go to to get a really nice layout, huh? lol. 
And here's my cutie when he was only one. I can't believe how time flies. I've used papers and stuff from the MM Paperie Mocha line here, and I'm in love! I can't stop using this stuff! This is just gorgeous. The trims are to die for, really. I've bought stuff from Poolside and Rouge too, and they're equally fab. I'm not really a fan of green, but I might just have to get the Greenhouse line too... My wallet doesn't seem really happy right now.
I made this one for a contest... but then I managed to forget to submit it... typically me. Anyway, the stamps are from Stämpelboden, aren't they the cutest?
The big flowers are also cut out with the Slice, and also from the Noteworthy card. I've inked, embossed, and layered them to make them look fuller, and than I've given them a finishing touch with a little glimmer mist, but you can't see that in the photo.
