Webster’s Pages

Lately, I’ve been using Webster’s Pages on a few LO’s. I was scared of cutting those GORGEOUS papers up before, but I think I’ve gotten over it. So – imagine my surprise and HAPPY DANCE when I found out I was featured with one of my LO’s in their gallery! I only joined the other day, so I was just SHOCKED! There are over 3,500 LO’s in their gallery, and MY PAGE was one of five to be featured this time. Soooo cool!

And, of course, I have a new LO using Wester’s Pages to share…

 

 

I’ve stuck a piece of my MIL’s old satin curtain and a dress pattern together with some PRIMA lace behind the photo. There are also ZVA creative flowers, Prima leaves, 2Crafty chipboard, Tim Holtz metal frame, misc charm & PRIMA alphas on the page.

Most of these product can be found in the  Scrappin’ Patch  shop as usual!

I have wanted to use these lyrics from my fav Gavin deGraw song on a LO forever. A discussion with my friend on Facebook (thanks Louise!) pushed me to do it. I’m very happy with the result!

 

The LO is my example for Heidi’s challenge over at the Sketchbook this week. Go check it out!

Together

Today while blog sufring, I came across a challenge over at the Lime Tart/Zest blog. Even though my “to do list” is miles long, I decided I NEEDED to do his challenge. Nutty? Who? Me?

 

Anyway, the deadline is tomorrow morning, so I ended up rushing it a bit, and didn’t manage to get a photo of the LO in daylight. So – sorry about the darkish, unfoused photo of the LO. I love this photo of my DH & Elsa though…

 

 

 

Products used: Bazzill cs, patterned pp from MME “Bohemia” and BG “Indian Summer”. Chipboard from Tattered Angels & Maya Road, inked & sprayed with glimmermist. Bling from Prima, tag from Pink Paislee, lace from Webster’s Pages, pins from Heidi Grace, misc brads & charm. The flower is handmade from fabric. Got the idea from siilar ones I got on Etsy.  Have also used some (a lot!!!) of  Tim Holtz distress ink “vintage photo” on my pp’s.

 

Thanks for stopping by, and remember that every comment goes into my draw for a nice RAK…

 

Sketch time!

There’s a new sketch challenge up @ Scrappin’ Patch, sketch made by Heidi. This is my take, using BoBunny papers & flowers, Robin’s Nest dewdrops, MM alphas & a Montarga leaf stamp:

BLOGGIVERSARY!!!

Well believe it or not, but it’s already a YEAR ago since I moved to wordpress from blogg.se! And what a year it has been, both in my personal life and in regards to my wonderful hobby!

In this past year, this blog has had almost 9 000 visitors, and that just blows my mind! Not as many comments, but I am so HAPPY about every single comment I get. Especially since I’m quite bad at commenting myself!

This day started really good with a happy phonecall, followed by a happy email. Both scrap related, but of course I can’t tell you yet… Soooooo, I’m in a very HAPPY mood, and I’d like to share my joy with you with a giveaway! You know I LOVE giveaways!!

I can’t tell you what the giveaway entails, but I promise you – you won’t be disappointed – because I’m gonna communicate with the winner to ensure I send something that person likes!!

All YOU have to do is leave a comment on ANY OF MY POSTS from today ’til midnight October 20th. I wll put your name in the draw for every comment you make. So, 25 comments gives you 25 chances. Cool, huh?

And yes – I will send the “prize” to any country in the world!

I’m ending this post with a LO that was made for the latest sketch on the SWE Scrapbook blog, ’cause we can’t have a post with no photos, can we?? The title says “love”.

 

 

 

 

Now keep’em comments coming!!! Ciao!

I wish…

… I was in bed, ’cause I’ve got the flu. But I’m not in bed. I’ve got kiddos to keep happy, and fed. And blogs to update – apparently!

 

 

So without further ado, here are my latest LO’s!

 

For the new recipe challenge over @ Scrappin’ Patch - set by me:

 

 

 

Paper, buttons and chiboard bracket are BG, flowers are BoBunny, and the alphas are Jenni Bowlin and Pink Paislee. The ribbons are KikkiK and AC. There are also a couple of Robin’s Nest dewdrops on there!

 

For Scrappin’ Patch I have also created this PRIMA LO:

 

 

 

Apart from the Prima stuff, there’s  chipboard from 2Crafty and a clock stamp from Montarga on the LO.

 

This next LO is for a challenge at SWE Scrapbook. The title says “being cosy with nana”.

 

 

 

I’ve used October Afternoon papers & embellies, Pink Paislee & Websters Pages alphas & misc buttons.

 

I’m sure I was supposed to share some more stuff, but this will have to do for now. Catch ya later!

Yay!

I haven’t been able to log on to SiSTV the last few days for some reason. It’s been a little bit annoying, but I get that sometimes, with some sites. But just now I could, and I discovered that I’m on the CATWALK! I am so happy!!!! It’s the third time for me, and I just feel so honored and HAPPY!!!!

 

*doing a little happy dance*

So, that made my night! I’ve also just finished something I have struggled with for a little while, so am feeling pretty good right now!

 

Aaaaaaaanyway. Here’s a few LO’s I’d like to share. The first one is for a shabby chic challenge that was posted on SWE Scrapbook blog yesterday:

 

 

Have used Websters Pages paper & alphas, Prima alphas and a clock stamp from Montarga.

 

This LO is for Liz’ designers choice challenge over at Scrappin’ Patch. It’s to use primary colours and a song title for your TITLE. I found it HARD to scrap in primary colours, but with a splash of Prima flowers, brads from Pink Paislee & AC thickers I managed to get a page done!!

 

 

 

 

Scrappin’ Patch is celebrating their 2nd birthday in October, and there’s a lot of fun things happening over there! The first “birthday challenge” was set yesterday, and it’s all about SCRAPBOOKING. This is an example from me, using Karen Foster pp’s and embellies, Tattered Angel’s glimmermist, Prima flowers  leaves, pearlmaker & alphas from Carolee’s Creations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am very busy with some other stuff at the moment, so will be back to share soon! Thanks for stopping by peeps!!

Changes

There are a lot of changes happening in our house. Our baby Elsa (almost 9 months) has moved to her own room, and so far it seems she’s sleeping a lot better. This means I’m sleeping better – and more – and that must be good!!! Our big girl Tova (who seems to grow up right in front of my eyes) is not having her bedtime bottle anymore, goes to the toilet without any assistance, and says “I love you mamma” without me having to say “I love you” first. I guess it’s safe to say she’s not a baby anymore…

 

So. Yes. Things are changing. I think I have to change a few things in my life as well, but being older it seems a little bit harder for some reason!!! The fact that we now have dalight savings seem to have some sort of inpact on me, I just need to figure out how and why…

 

Right, enough rambling. That’s not why you’re here!   Let’s get down to business!!

 

First, I’d like to proudly present my friend from forever; ANNA, who I have recently tricked into this wonderfully addictive hobby. She went shopping the other day, and then sat down to create her first LO. Check it out on her blog, it’s FABUOLUS! I cannot believe this is her first one! My first one did definately not look that good… I’m proud of you my friend!!!

 

Then, time to share my latest stuff.

 

First a LO for SWE Scrapbook, for the new sketch challenge that’s up today:

 

 

 

Products used: Kaisercraft pp, Magdas flowers, Robin’s Nest dewdrops, & alphas are Jenni Bowlin & Carolee’s Creations.

 

Then, a LO that I did from a sketch by this talended Swedish lady:

 

 

 

This is one of the three LO’s I did at the crop I went to on Saturday. Well. I almost finished them there, just added titles and stuff at home…

 

On this LO I have used a Bazzill craft cardstock, papers and embellies are October Afternoon, alphas are Ocotober Afternoon & Pink Paislee. Am very happy with this LO actually…

 

And then, a LO “just because”. Not many of those getting done nowadays, huh… A LO full of Jillibean Soup stuff – looooooooooove their products!!!

 

 

 

As you know, I get most of my stuff from Scrappin’ Patch. Just thought I’d mention it again… I posted a short tutorial on the forum today, to make a very simple, but cool card. Go check it out!

 

I have also made a LO for one of Liz’ challenges that goes up today, but I’ll wait to share ’til she’s posted it on the forum… I’ve also got a sneaky peak to share, for a kit that will be sold at Scrappin’ Patch very soooooo. But I’ll share that another day…

 

Thanks for stopping by, hope your week is a WONDERFUL week!!

Pose

Today I have a new LO up on the Swe scrapbook blog. I’ve used the looooooovely new Pink Paislee “Amber Road” pp’s and embellies, together with Prima swirls & AC thickers. You can find most of these at Scrappin’ Patch.

 

The challenge today is to choose one of your own LO’s, draw a sketch based on that LO, and then create new LO from that sketch! Doesn’t that sound like fun???

 

The LO I chose was this one, full of Lime Rickey goodness…

 

 

 

The sketch:

 

 

 

 

And the new LO:

 

 

 

 

You should try this if you haven’t already, and if you do – let me know!!

 

Stuff to share

New challenges are up my friends!!!

 

First, Heidi has set a cool colour challenge @ Scrappin’ Patch; brown/teal/orange. PERFECT for the new Gypsy pp’s from BoBunny:

 

 

 

Add some BG alphas, a Pink Paislee butterfly, some Pearlmaker and a fat lady in the photo, and you’re done!!!

 

 

Then, I just posted the last SPRING IT ON challenge @ the Sketchbook messageboard. This is my example:

 

 

 

Products used:  Cosmo Cricket “Earth Love” pp’s and embellies, MM ribbon, Jenni Bowlin & AC alphas.

 

I really, really like these new Cosmo Cricket pp’s, and was HAPPY when Adrienne & Pauline wanted me to do a DT page for Scrappin’ Patch. This is the result:

 

 

 

So, what’s the full story you ask? Well, I’ve decided to donate eggs to my girlfriend who has tried to get pregnant for about 7 years. I’m writing in a diary about this, and when the journey is over I will print it out and put on the back of the LO. If a child comes out of this, both that child and my children have the possibility to read about my thoughts during this process.

 

Apart from the Cosmo pp’s and embellies, I have used chipboard from 2Crafty, Robin’s Nest dewdrops, Tim Holtz tickets, and alphas from AC & Pink Paislee. I have also used a SU slit punch on one of the paper strips.

 

Almost all of the stuff I use to creat with nowadays, can be found @  Scrappin’ Patch. Apart from great supplies they also have  AMAZING service, and I’m not just saying that. You can trust me on this!!!
