1st of the month reveal

SO it’s my birthday month! YAY!!! Won’t celebrate all month though, but got a few fun things planned. Lucky me!!

 

Today is the first day of the month, which means a new challenge is up at Challenge Me Happy! Our new designers have their fist challenge LO up, and all the “old” designers have of course joined them. It’s an AWESOME challenge and a FANTASTIC reveal!! This is my take, but PLEASE go and check all the other inspiration out. And participate – it’s the easiest challenge we’ve had so far!! There’s also a fantastic kit from Mollys Scrapbooking to be won. Yay!!

 

 

I was lucky enough to get sponsored materil from Scrappin’ Patch this month. This is paper & acetate frame from the “Summer’s End” colletion from Fancy Pants. I have to say I struggled a little with the acetate (frame), but finally did something I am quite happy about! I love the soft colours in this collection, together with the orange & bright green!

 

Then – Handmade Halo has their first ever challenge up. A lovely sketch by the talented Em Stafrace. This is my BRIGHT take on the sketch, using Halo goodies:

 

 

 

 

I love this photo of Elsa. It catches her stubborn and independent personality perfectly. She definately goes her own way already…

OK. That’s it for today – go check out those challenges now. Please? 🙂 I might by myself a birdcage today, just ‘cos…

 

Another LO

Just quickly, another LO that I really love at the moment. I got Pink Paislee “Nantucket” papers to play with from Mollys, and this is what I did with them:

 

 

Close ups:

 

Also loving that Prima mask at the moment…

 

Got a lot of new goodies to play with, so better get back to my scrap studio!

 

Priceless

Have you seen the MASTERCARD ads? The punchline is always “something something something… priceless…”. That’s what I had in my head whilst creating this LO about Tova finally getting to hang out with her favourite aunt who lives in England. It’s my latest LO for Challenge Me Happy, and I’ve used mainly HALO goodies on there!

 

And can you believe the Christmas card I shared in my last post won me a prize over at Fancy Pants? I sure can’t! Amazing… Because of that I’ll share a simple card I made for Molly’s recently, using Pink Paislee papers & a lovely Manorhouse Creations flower.

 

 

So, that’s it for today. More to come SOON. Some of my fav’s STILL waiting to be shared! LOL

 

And – go the All Blacks! 😉

Cosmo Cricket

In my latest box form Mollys there was sooooooo many goodies! I made two LO’s pretty much straight away, and today I can share one of them as it’s up on the blog. Her shop is filled to the brim with amazing product, so go there and shop if you haven’t already!

 

 

Some detail shots – I looooove the little mini spools from Maya Road!

 

 

I like the colours in this collection, especially when my photos wasn’t the best – but the occasion needed to be scrapped!

 

More LO’s to come soon, thanks for stopping by today!

Have you seen…

…that Challenge Me Happy is looking for more designers? Details here! Also remember that a new challenge will be posted tomorrow!

 

…that my “special” LO was Echo Park’s Facebook Friday pick last week? So cool. And THAT means I will get some more Echo Park goodies sent to me FOR FREE. I like that!

 

…that Mollys scrapbooking have LOADS of new products in the shop? I’m playing with some of them right now… And their October kit is about to be revealed too!

 

…that Scottie Crafts have sweet specials this weekend? And that they still have some spaces left for their Prima Roadshow event? I’m going, you should too!

 

…the COOL papers and handmade embellies in the Handmade Halo shop? Wow is all I can say. Here is a LO with products from the shop:

 

 

 

…that I was the DT’s choice this week over at the fantastic sketch blog “Veckans Skiss“? Funnily enough I was NOT happy with this LO, but since I had made the LO after their sketch, I sent it in… Here it is:

 

 

…the sun lately? I have and I LOVE it! Can’t wait for proper summer to arrive!!!

Stuff for Mollys

Just a quick post to share two LO’s that I have recently done for Mollys Scrapbooking! One with Sassafrass Lass products, and one with October Afternoon products. On both LO’s I have used OLDER photos, and it’s such a great feeling! I tend to scrap the latest and greastet photos, so it’s cool to have scrapped a couple that has been waiting to be dealt with for a while!

 

Also, my LO for the latest challenge over at Challenge Me Happy – a recipe this time!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend!

About time for an update

Hi bloggy friends! I can’t believe it’s been 12 days since my last post. Where does time go?

This means I have some stuff to share. Ready?

First, my LO for the latest Challenge Me Happy challenge. A word/theme challenge this time – HOME. Have you uploaded your take yet? There are some awesome 7Gypsies embellies to win! I used Studio Calico stuff, and D-Lish Scraps goodies for my LO:

Then an album I did for Scottie Crafts a while back, using Simple Stories papers & stickers, and Scrapware chipboard. An album about Tova – being four!

When the album is back from the shop I will add some photos and dekos to July and August. And then can you believe she’s is five in 21 sleeps?? Scary!

Next, a LO that you might have seen in my last post, but here it is again with proper credits. A Christmas LO with papers from the Swedish manufacturer Maja Design that I got in a generous box from Mollys Scrapbooking. Most other dekos are from Mollys as well.

That’s it for today. More to come. Sooner than in 12 days hopefully!

Almost August

I’m sure you are all as surprised as I am – it’s almost August! Wow, time really flies! And then comes September, and my eldest will start SCHOOL! Scary stuff… She’s ready though. Sooo ready. I’m not sure I am though! 🙂

Today I’m sharing my third LO that I did with Molly’s colourful July kit. Said almost 5-year old in the paddle pool last summer!

 

 

Oh how I miss summer. I hope it comes early this year…

For Scottie Crafts I have done some stuff with Simple Stories “life documented”. Such a cool range of papers. Have done a LO and a mini-album, here’s the LO of my “busy princess”:

 

 

Then a couple of LO’s for challenges over at Studio Calico. Feels good to use up some stuff from their lovely kits!

 

 

 

 

Lastly, a LO that I did a while back, but have forgotten to share. Another summery Echo Park “splash” LO:

 

That’s it for me tonight. I’m shattered and need to get some sleep. But just one more thing – have you uploaded your take on the latest Challenge Me Happy challenge? Only a couple of days left ’til deadline!!!

Ooops

I didn’t realise it has been two weeks since my last blog post! Sure, I have been busier than ever, but that’s not good! 🙂

So, definately time for an update! First some LO’s for Molly’s Scrapbooking. She has been so generous in sending me stuff, so I have been scrapping up a storm with products from the shop!

First, two LO’s from the colourful July kit. The kit is full with vibrant papers and embellies mostly from Echo Park and Fancy Pants.

Got my sewing machine out for this one. Even sewed through the cute chipboard clouds from Maya Road. Love the result!

Love that cut out wave from a Fancy Pants paper, and aren’t those badges sooo cool?

I’ve got another LO done with this kit, but will share that one once it’s been up on the Molly blog!

I was also sent some papers from the Swedish manufacturer Maja Design. The papers have an amazing quality, and it was col getting to play with them being in NZ! This range felt quite boyish to me, so that’s what I tried to do. First, a LO for my SWEDEN 2008 album (will I ever finish it? I don’t know…) The boys were determined to have a BBQ even though the rain was FIERCE!

Then, I went wild with my border punches…

I’ve of course done a LO for challenge #3 over at Challenge Me Happy! Have you checked it out yet? Please come play with us!

I’ve also done some creating for Scottie Carfts, but will show you that another time. Thanks for stopping by today!

Exciting news!!

Another exciting thing is that the next BIG number of Allt Om Scrap is coming out on Sunday! I assure you, you don’t want to miss it! Here’s a little peak:

 

 

In the last Allt Om Scrap ezine we showcased “white space”. This was my take on this theme:

 

 

It’s not the first time I’ve used Echo Park “for the record” range for a BoM LO. It just seems to fit so well for that theme!

 

More Echo Park; this time I’ve used the SPLASH line that I so wonderfully won in a Facebook competition. This is my LO for MY sketch challenge over at Scottie Crafts. As always there’s cool prizes to win if you enter the challenge.

 

 

 

 

And here’s another LO with the same range:

 

 

 

Just looooooooooving those Fiskars cloud punches!

 

And speaking of Scottie Crafts – only  sleeps ’til my first SENZ class for Scottie Crafts! Are you gonna be there? Go here to buy a ticket for my class, or any of the other fantastic classes that they are doing!

 

Then, a couple of LO’s that I made with the May kit from Molly’s Scrapbooking, using Pink Paislee & Bo Bunny’s butterfly ranges:

 

 

 

 

 

But wait – there’s more! A couple of LO’s that I’ve done for challenges over at Studio Calico and Cocoa Daisy:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, that will just have to do for now! More to come in a few days!

 

For you who are wondering about my photoblog; I am still taking photos and will upload when I have some time. Editing is my downfall, it just takes too LONG!!

 

And PLEASE – go check out “Challenge Me Happy“. Nothing would make ME happier!!!
