I’ve also been busy with DT work for Scrappin’ Patch the last couple of weeks. They sent me Prima paper stack “Sasha”, Pink Paislee alphas and some other bits and pieces to work with, and here’s a LO I did:

 

 

 

I know I’m biased, but isn’t that girl sooooooo gorgeous???

 

 

I’ve made three more LO’s and a couple of cards so far, and will most likely do some more with those pretty papers!! Will show you some more of what I’ve done in a couple of days…

No people

It’s not often I do LO’s without people – or my girls really – in the photos. But today I have TWO LO’s with not a single person in them to share! Funny that!!!

 

The first one is for this weeks challenge that I set over at The Sketchbook. The challenge is to scrap monochromatically. I choose white – and it was really hard!!! The photos are from the house where my parents live, in south of Sweden.

 

 

Products used: Bazzill embossed cs, Queen&co felt swirl, punchinella, Zva Creations flowers, MM pin, Pink Paislee alphas covered with pearlmaker, BG chipboard alphas covered with crackle paint, misc ribbon and buttons.

 

The next LO is a cute little story about a stone…

 

 

 

Products used: Bazzill cs, MME patterned pp, Pink Paislee chipboard (branch), Maya Road chipboard (love) sprayed with glimmermist, AC ribbon, Heidi Swapp pins, flower from Spotlight, Rose Moka alphas, lots of Pinecone ink, twine, & misc charm & buttons. Have also used Fiskars lace border punch.

 

I’ve got a few more things finished, but it’s all DT stuff so I can’t show you just yet!

 

Hope your weekend is a good one. I’m struggling, as I haven’t slept much the last few days. Baby stuff… Thank goodness for scrapbooking to keep me happy!!!

 

Oh my…

…over a week since my last post. Not good is it… I’ve  been so busy, and I have had little or no sleep the last few nights as my baby Elsa is teething.

 

Anyway… There’s been moments of creativity almost every day, and for that I am grateful!

 

Here are my latest projects, and I warn you – there are a LOT of photos!!!

 

First off, some stuff I have done for Scrappin’ Patch - my favourite shop in the whole wide world!!! They have sooooo much new products in the shop at the moment, I’m loosing my mind!!! (and my DH’s hard earnt money…) At the moment they’re putting up NEW PRIMA stuff pretty much every day. But you better get in quick, they are selling it just as fast!!!

 

So. Like I said, time to share.

 

This first LO was a class kit that Scrappin’ Patch  provided to the lucky ladies attending their crop a couple of weeks ago. I have used one piece of cardstock, one piece of patterned paper from My Little Shoebox, one Green Tara flower, one journaling ticket from Jenni Bowlin, some pom pom ribbon from Bazzill, some buttons, the Fiskars “apron lace” border punch and a couple of different colours of glilmmermist. The title is cut out on my cricut.

 

 

Adrienne and Pauline also sent me half a Fancy Pants “Delight” journal book, some flowers, buttons and acetate. This is what I made from that – and I had SO MUCH FUN!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I added lots and lots of buttons from my own stack, some more flowers, got a bit crazy with my pearlmakers, also added some American Crafts ribbon, Peterlina and Prima stamps, Inkadinkado aplha stamps, alphas from Basic Grey and Carolee’s Creations. The album rings are Kaisercraft.

 

I can’t wait to get the book back and give it to my MIL. She’s gonna love it!

 

This next LO is for the latest sketch challenge over at Scrappin’ Patch , set by the lovely Heidi. Get over there to check out the other contributors examples. They rock!!!

 

 

 

 Products used: Jenni Bowlin die cut pp as base, patterned pp, embellies and chipboard letters are Basic Grey “Marrakesh”. The bling swirl is also BG. Have also used punchinella and Carolee’s Creations minialphas.

 

And then we have a couple of Lime Rickey LO’s – of course!!! I’m starting to run out of those papers though… On this first LO I have added a journaling thingie from Little Yellow Bicycle, isn’t it cool?? You can of course find it in the Scrappin’ Patch shop… The alphas are BG. And if you look closely, there’s some stiches there!!!

 

 This next LO is about a girl that is not mine. Therefore the blurred photo. She’s such a joy this girl, and this photo was perfect for the “joy” challenge at the OLW blog. Apart from the Lime Rickey I’ve used Pink Paislee alphas.

 

 On the next LO I used a couple of scrap papers (yay me!!). The pearl swirl and flower vine is of course Prima, the butterflies from 2Crafty are sprayed with glimmermist. The alphas are AC & Carolee’s creations, and then there’s some lace, buttos and AC ribbon too. Isn’t she sooooo cute on this photo my little Elsa??

 

 

OK, last one. Good job if you made it all the way here!! A very simple LO with Bazzill cs, and then pp’s and embellies from American craft. The alphas are also AC, and OCtober Afternoon.

 

 

Believe it or not, I actually have more to share, but not now. I’m far too tired now, and I’m sure you are too!!!

 

Have a great start to the new week, I hope to see you back here soon!!!

Schizophrenic???

Was just wondering… Does the fact that my two latest LO’s are TOTALLY different mean that I’m schizophrenic? That sure would explain a couple of things…

 

 

See for yourself…

 

 

 

Title says “little froggy”. Products from Pink Paislee, Cosmo Cricket, Sassafras Lass, MM. Alphas from Carolee’s creations and Pink Paislee. White space, anyone???

 

 

 

 

Products used: Papers from Webster’s Pages, flower vine and leaves from Prima, flowers from Zva Creations and Spotlight, alphas from American Craft.

 

So. What do you think?

RAK draw
