The Scrappiest sketch 128

Here's my take on Sketch 128 at The Scrappiest blog. Ive used some papers from Echo Park's For The Record line - an all time favourite of mine.

Challenge Me Happy #2

I decided to play along with challenge #2 at Challenge Me Happy, even though the color combination made me really confused at first. I mean, how do you get orange to fit into the rest of this combo?
Anyway, I managed to squeeze in some orange with it, and this is how my layout turned out in the end, a mishmash of Lily Bee, Echo Park and Maja Design papers. And guess what? I sorta like it!

Santa's coming!

Finally, I had some time to scrap! Yesterday I finished up a couple of GDT-layouts, a Bind-It-All project and this layout, with some PPs and stuff from the Nook December kit (I haven't got the January kit yet, but it's supposed to be fabulous!).
The photos are from Christmas Eve, when Santa came visiting. The kids were thrilled, of course, and not even a bit scared. But poor grandpa missed out on Santa's visit, as usual... LOL!

I found the inspiration for the border around the circle at Leah's blog, with this wonderful layout. And seing that one, the more reason there is to look forward to the January kit♥!

DT-layouts for Katscrap

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.

Two little Pirate Princesses

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?

Cybercrop

There's a Cybercrop this weekend at my favourite forum, Svensk Scrapbooking. It's a bunch of shop owners who have arranged this crop, and there were loads of amazing challenges! I'm almost ashamed since I didn't have time to do more than three challenges. But I've also been working hard on some other projecs this weekend.

This is for a sketch challenge, and I decided to scrap a few pirate photos of Albin. I've used up a bunch of old papers, and that's always nice :) Isn't he a cool little pirate?
The next one is for a challenge where you were supposed to scrap about a fall journey. I made this layout about the journey I always make into fall. I brought my camera for a walk with the kids earlier today, and the sun came out of the clouds just as I passed this beautiful maple tree. Speaking of beautiful, these BG Granola papers are just amazing, don't you think?

Cutie!

Wow, second update for today, and it's not even noon yet. Well, I have a sick little girl at home today, so I have to stay at home from work and wipe her runny nose and so on. Right now she's watching Disney Channel, so I sneaked in here and took a few minutes to finish up this layout.


You know, sometimes you see a photo that you just have to scrap. This is one of them. I took it last saturday, of my friends' little girl, and isn't this the cutest little face you have ever seen? Look at those eyes, and that smile! She's adorable this little one. And I know her mum wants to scrap the picture I took right after this one, of this little face buried in the biggest hamburger you've ever seen *LOL*, so I took the liberty to make something of this one. Jeanette, do you have room in their albums? It seems like the pile I have here for them is growing steadily... ;-)

And please excuse the poor quality of the photo. It's really cloudy here today, so it's difficult to get a good shot.

En semesterlayout

När vi var på semester för ett par veckor sedan besökte vi ett otroligt vackert ställe, Hyltenäs Kulle. Utsikten var fantastiskt fin, och jag tog massa foton därifrån. Jag ville få med så många foton som möjligt från platsen, och låta utsikten stå i fokus. Jag lyckades hitta ett par filmstrippar i gömmorna. Layoutens form har jag hämtat från resterna av en springbrunn som fanns på platsen. Så fort jag såg den visste jag att det skulle bli en layout med den formen.

When we were on vacation a couple of weeks ago, we visited an enormously beautiful sight, Hyltenäs Hill. The view was extraordinary and I took loads of pictutes. I wanted as many as possible on this layout, so I went through my stash and found these film strips I've had like forever... The shape of the layout is inspired by the remains of an old fountain. The minute I saw it I decided to make a layout in this shape with the pictures from that place.


Det fanns en väldigt intressant historia om platsen också, och jag googlade och skrev ut informationen, vek ihop lappen och stoppade den bakom fotot tillsammans med journalingen.

There's some very interesting history about this place, and I looked it up on the internet, printed the story, folded the paper and tucked it in behind the photo with my journaling.

Jag hade en mycket bra postdag igår. Dels dök mitt första månadskit från the Nook upp, och dels fick jag min Word Window Punch, och jag har bara börjat klura på vad man kan göra med den. Jag har använt den till fliken på min journaling spot här, och det blev så bra! Jag gillar verkligen min nya leksak :-)

Yesterday was a very good mail-day for me. I got my first gorgeous kit from the Nook, and I got my Word Window Punch ♥. There are so many great things you can do with it! I used it to make the hole in the tab of my journaling spot at this layout. Love it!!

Månadsutmaning på Svensk Scrapbooking!

Vår månadsutmaning på Svensk Scrapbooking är i full gång, och månadens tema är LYCKA. Ni förstår säkert att lyckan var fullkomlig när ett sponsorpaket från JP Hobby fullt med produkter från Basic Greys Euphoria dök upp. Jag ♥ BG... Kan inte få nog av det, och den här serien var helt fantastisk, som vanligt. Vilka färger!!!!!

Our monthly challenge at Svensk Scrapbooking is up, and the theme of the month is HAPPINESS. Of couse I was really happy when the kit from our sponsor showed up full of things from Basic Grey's Euphoria line. I ♥ BG... I can't get enough of it, and this line was as fab as usual. The colours were wonderful.

Det första jag gjorde var en sparbössa för lyckopengar. / the first thing I made was a money-box for lucky pennies.

Jag ville också göra ett minialbum för att försöka få med så mycket produkter som möjligt, men jag har redan en egen lyckobok, så jag gjorde en till min syster den här gången. Jag har lämnat plats för journaling.

I also wanted to make a minibook, to fit in as much of the goodies as possible, but I have already made a book of happiness for myself, so this time I made one for my sister. I left the journaling for her to fill in.

Jag visar bara ett par uppslag, för Blogger verkar ha ätit upp de andra bilderna jag lade in, och jag är alldeles för lat för att lägga in dem på nytt / I'm only showing you a few pages, because Blogger seems to have eaten the rest of the pictures I uploaded, and I'm way to lazy to do it again...

Det blev en layout också. Jag kunde ju inte låta bli att göra en med de här härliga tjejiga färgerna till min lilla tjej, helst eftersom tröjan hon har på fotot går i exakt samma färgschema som papprena...

There was a layout too. I couldn't resist makong one with theese girly colours for my little girl, especially since the top she's wearing in the photo match these papers so well...

Utmaningen håller på månaden ut, och man kan vinna ett liknande paket från JP Hobby. / The challenge lasts through this entire month, and you can win a similar kit from JP Hobby.

Nu känner jag ett pockande behov av att gå och göra en layout... / Now I feel the urge to go änd make a layout...
