Another layout...

Here's another layout I made for the Nook VC I won a prize with this one too, a Martha Stewart punch. I don't know which one, but that will be a nice surprise when it comes. The challenge here was to stitch a heart on your layout. I stitched the one in the upper left corner straight onto the layout, and then I added two cross-stitched hearts as well.

Blessed

This is the layout I was telling you about with the October Afternoon parers, also made for a challenge at the Nook. I think it turned out pretty OK :-)

Oh well, gotta run. I've got two sick kids to take care of, and a house that's been turned completely upside down today while I've been at work. So please leave a little comment, I'm surely going to need every little bit of encouragement today ;-)

Edit: I sure did get some encouragement... I actually won this contest. And the prize was a GDT-spot at Scrapping the Music Germany. So, I'm off to make a happy dance :-)

Laura's sketch 19 and some EC4BC

There's a fabulous new sketch over at 2sketches4you now, and since I had my October Afternoon scraps spread all over the desk, I used some of them for a little card.

Do you have a brand of paper and stuff that just can't go wrong? For me, that brand is OA. I'm pretty sure nothing made from those papers can come out looking bad. I made a layout yesterday, also from the same line as the card, Weathervane, and it's been a long time since I felt so good about a layout I made. I'll show it to you in a while. It actually features the photo below.

And now over to the EC4BC, that is Eyecandy for Blogcandy, also over at 2S4U. To participate in the drawing for blogcandy, you have to post a picture of your personal eyecandy, and this is the only somewhat recent photo of my P where he doesn't make faces or do something else really immature, so you have to put up with the rest of the family too. You know, some people never get older than 15... ♥

There are no monsters...

For some reason, Agnes is terrified of monsters... The whole time she has been sharing her brother's room, she has been afraid that a monster would come out from the closet. Yeah, it's from watching Monsters INC. Letting the kids watch that movie probably wasn't the brightest idea I've got. However, once her room was finished, and she got to move all of her stuff in there, she hasn't been afraid. No more nightmares and worried nights, because she's convinced that no monsters can come in to that room. The fist thing she said when the room was all done and we let her in to check it out was: There are no monsters here. It's probably all the pink, girly stuff in there that scares them away *LOL*. Anyway, that comment she made was so sweet, and it definitely deserved a layout of it's own.

I've made the layout for a challenge at the VC at the Nook, which has taken place this weekend. The challenge was to use chipboard, and I used a couple of swirls from Maya Road, which I inked with Fluid Chalk creamy brown and covered with Glimmer Mist pearl. The papers are from Making Memories and Melissa Frances and the flowers are all from old candle rings.

Really girly stuff...

This little mini is something I had so much fun making. Just imagine, digging into all this lace and all these pink goodies... Not to mention all the glittery stuff. I've used a lot of the new stuff from Creative Café here. I totally love their spirit line, and I'm so happy they have added some new stuff.

You remember the fairy pictures, huh? This is what I dressed poor Agnes up for. Well, poor perhaps isn't the right word. She loves to dress up, so she was really happy the whole time.

I've used a really cute poem about how children see things differently than us adults, and about their wonderful imagination.

And once again, it seems as if blogger ate one of my photos... But if you want to see it, and what the rest of the design team has come up with this month, just pop in to Zutter Zisters to check out the galleries! Myself, I'm going to get started on next month's projects. I have this crazy idea (as usual), and I can't wait to see if I can realize it.

Have a great week, all of you :o)

Why can't I make a square layout anymore?

No, impossible, I just can't... They all have to be one shape or another and with fancy edges and all. Definitely an addiction of mine, and luckily, the CHA-peaks reveal loads of diecut papers even this season, so I guess I'll be able to keep on making shaped layouts for a looong time :-)

So, we've had another round of the stomach bug here, but luckily, I've been able to do some scrapping today. I made this layout from Jenny's sketch at MiMas, in the nick of time, because today it's the deadline of that challenge. I've used wonderful Jenni Bowlin papers from this month's Nook kit, and I couldn't help myself from over-embellish this one too. That's another thing I can't do - less embellishments.
The English translation of the title would be: "You enrich my life", and that's what she does, this little one, in so many ways.

BTW, I have to share a little toot again. I just got two layouts picked up by Swedish mag Scrapbooking-mm for their next issue. How cool is that?

Hopefully, there will be no more stomach bugs, and perhaps a little more regular updates on this sadly neglected blog. I have another layout lying on my desk, almost ready, so hopefully it will be up soon too.

A not so little toot...

I just had to make another post tonight. Check this out:

You see the little book in the down right corner? It's mine... Oh, man, can you believe how cool this is? This book is going to be read by so many people throughout the world, and my little project is on the cover. I'm swooning over here!
