Simply adorable - or not...

It is not often we see our youngest one like this - and even though I didn`t think so at the time, I find her adorable now:-)

I have used Basic Grey`s knee hights collection on this one. Love the colors!!

TJSC-color 31

Thats just so cute have a really nice color palette that I wanted to try out, and the the papers from the Maggie Holm collection from Crate fitted perfectly!! 

Love this photo of my son taken in Turkey last month. I think he is soo handsome - and he is such a darling as well:-)

(The yellow comes out as more yellow than is actual is. The real stuff is just the same color as in the palette.)  

And here is the palette..

The rain is still poring down - lucky for me as I really enjoy the scrapping these days!

I have used a sketch from Kristine Davidsons Creative with sketches - vol 2 (ikke utfordring - bare skissebok).

Happy scrapping out there:-)

Karatekid on the beach..

Some times it fits me perfect that the weather is bad.. These days we are painting the house, and I feared that that would put an end for my scrapbooking this summer. So I welcomed the stormy rain that come this evening so I could play some more with my new papers. I just love the Pier Collection from Crate - is it possible to say it too often??

I found a fun sketch at Pagemaps I just had too use, and found this fun pictures of Herman trying to do some karate moves on the beach in Turkey..

Love the embellishments that come with this line!!

I can`t seem to get the colors quite right in the light I have right now, but will not be able to take a new pic in the daylight tomorrow, so this will have to do for now..

Hoping for more rain next week, so I can do some more scrapping before we go on our Summer vacation.. 

Polka dots med Crate

I knew I had to have The Pier Collection from Crate as soon as I saw it, and today I finally got to play with it... I love this fun line, but still I struggled a bit and are not totally happy with how it turned out - but I have plenty more of this gorgeous line, so better luck next time;-)

Crate has a challenge on the use of polka dots, and this is my entry for the challenge..

Love the photophrames that comes with this line!!

The pics are from our vacation to Turkey last month, and our son borrowed the camera and took some pics of his little sister. I think he did a great job!!

I have used a sketch I found at scrapping.no

Badenymfe - DT Papirdesign og skissedilla #217

Det er natt til lørdag og jeg har lekt meg litt med skissedillaskisse #217 - en god måte å tilbringe fredagskvelden/natta på:-) Det er lite som minner som sol og sommer her nå, men vi kan vel ikke klage vi her nordpå, som har hatt tidenes sommer frem til nå. Dette bildet er imidlertid tatt i syden og der var det ei lita frøken som bodde i bassenget:-). 

Jeg gjenoppdager stadig gamle favoritter hos Papirdesign, og akkurat nå om dagen kan jeg ikke få nok av dette bakgrunnsarket som heter "Lykke til". Digg-digg-digger den fargen!!! Her er den i kombinasjon med rosa - og det funker jo superbra.. - litt lenger ned, må jeg igjen vise den sammen med gult - det funker minst like godt;-)

Tonight I have played with Skissedillas sketch #217 - and it was a great way to spend Friday night:-) Outside the rain is pouring down, and there is not much there that invites to a long bath.. But we can`t complain here in Northern Norway - we have had the best summer in about 100 years or so, so far... Now it is back to normal - 10 degrees and rain.. We knew this were coming, so we went to Turkey earlier this Summer, and our daughter lived in the water - she just came up to get some food or for other essential needs:-).. These days I have rediscovered an old favorite of mine - the backgroundpaper - "Lykke til". This is the second layout I make with it, and I have more coming;-) Love - love- LOVE the color!! It goes pretty well with pink - and just as good with yellow as i did in the July-challenge layout I made..

A couple of close-ups..

I have cut out some butterflies with the paper "Duft av blomster". Love the new flowers from Papirdesign. The small Gerberas are very versatile, and I can`t get enough of those Pion flowers...

Wish you all a warm and sunny weekend - and hope that it won`t be too long until we can enjoy Summer up north again..

Birthdaycard

Our kids went to a birthdayparty today, and as usual I had no card ready... I seriously have to have a card-making night soon so I won`t have to be so stressed just before we are leaving the house..

I really like the Party Day Collection from Crate, it makes birthdaycards so easy to make, and in just 7 minutes the card was ready.. 

(The picture is taken with my mobile, so that`s my excuse for the bad quality...)

Papirdesigns juliutfordring

Nå er endelig den store sommermåneden her, og jeg krysser fingre og tær for at vi kan få litt (masse) sol!! For min del var mai fantastisk, men juni var grå og kald, så nå vil jeg ha sol, sol, sol...

Det er også utfordringen hos Papirdesign denne måneden - scrapp noe solrikt.. Det kan være at man bruker gult, har med en sol, scrapper sommerbilder - hva som helst bare det får oss til å tenke på sola..

Finally we can say it is Summer! As we are not sure having sun even if the Calendar say it is Summer, I cross my finger and toes and hope for the best.. I want sun, sun and more sun!! That is also Papirdesigns challenge this month.. We want to se something "Sunny". I could be a bright yellow project, a layout with pictures of a sunny day, or the Midsummer sun - a summer card or whatever that brings our thoughts to the sun..

This is how I interpreted the challenge..

Slik løste jeg utfordringen..

Siden juni ofte er kald her nord, bestemte vi oss for å ta en uke i syden for å sikre oss litt sommer. Det har nemlig blitt dårlig med det de siste to årene... Bildet er tatt et solrikt sted nå i juni - jeg kjenner jeg allerede lengter tilbake..

The last two Junes have been cold and rainy, so we decided to go somewhere sunny this year. We went to Turkey, and had one week of sun, beach and relaxation.. I miss it already!!

Jeg har valgt å bruke mye gult på layouten - både ark og pynt.

Arkene er fra Papirdesign, og det samme er alle blomstene. De små gule Gerberaene er helt nye - og veldig søte!! De kommer i mange farger, men her måtte jeg selvsagt ta de gule:-)

I chose to make a sun of a yellow paper, and to use lots of yellow embellishments. Papers, flowers and alphastickers are from Papirdesign. I used the brand new Gerberas that now come in a smaller size. They come in many different colors - here you see the yellow ones..

3D-putene til Papirdesign er alltid med..

I always use Papirdesigns 3D-dots to bring more life to the project.

Har også brukt noen hvite pioner som har fått en dæsj gul glimmermist på seg..

Sweet like candy - My Creative Sketches June-challenge

A Norwegian pop-artist has a song called "Sweet like candy" - and I thought that fitted well for my sweet sweet girl.. 

I have used a sketch from My Creative Sketches, and have used the very sweet "Lucky Charm"-collection from American Crafts. Just love it!!

These little jars are so sweet, and I guess I`ll cut them all out of the paper.. I have more plans on how to use them, and I might show it soon..

Here is the sketch.. I simplified it a bit and how that is ok..

Siste krampetrekning - DT Papirdesign og Skissedilla #215

I morgen kommer jeg over i et nytt tiår, og forrige helg feiret jeg siste helga på 30-tallet med gode venninner som ikke kan bli med på morgendagens fest. 

Jeg har kost meg med den nye versjonen av dongeriarket - som nå har kommet i en mer vasket utgave.. 

Tomorrow I will be a (still young) woman in her forties, so last weekend I had a small gathering - celebrating that I was still in my thirties - with some of my good friends that can`t come to my celebration on Saturday.. 

I made this with the new version of the Demin-paper, that now looks a bit more washed than the first paper did. 

Jeg kuttet ut noen stjerner fra arket "Din dag", og festet dem med 3D-putene til Papirdesign som jeg virkelig ikke får skrytt nok av! Jeg bruker de på alt jeg lager..

I cut out some of the stars on the paper "Din dag" and glued them on with the 3D-dots that Papirdesign has. Absolutely LOVE them!!

Jeg klippet også ut ei klokke fra arket "Kjekt å ha", siden tiden på den passet rimelig godt med hvor mye klokka var da bildet ble tatt;-)

I also cut out a little clock from the paper... I thought it fitted well since the time is pretty close to the time when this photo was taken;-)

Nok et nærbilde av min bruk av 3D-putene

That was all this 39-year old had to show you for now..

Wish you all a good Midsummer celebration!

Oh joy!! OUAS June challenge

Oh joy!! I have got a huge amount of new papers and embellishments and the feeling of joy when I finally was able to play with them was soooo good!! I absolutely LOVE this line from American Crafts, and I just regret that I didn`t buy two collectionpacks, since they are sooo beautiful!! Can`t wait to go back to my scraproom and create some more with them.

Here I have played with this months sketch and theme at Once Upon A ... Sketch.

The theme is "guilty pleasure", and I chose to use it on my little girl this time. She got this DS almost a year ago, and now she has really starting discovered it - wich is not just a good thing. Here she is having a little break from her sunbathing in Turkey last week.  

I have also used my new chevron-mask and some wood veneers and the lovely embellishments from American Crafts.

 Here are some close-ups:

Here is the sketch. I have just flipped it 90 degrees;-)

Theme: What's your guilty pleasure?

Wish you all a peaceful Sunday!

Påskeprinsessen - Christin-style..

Denne månedens utfordring hos Papirdesign, er å bli inspirert av eller lifte noen i Designteamet. Vi i DT har også latt oss inspirere av/liftet hverandre, og jeg skulle bli inspirert av flinke Christin... Snakk om å få prestasjonsangst..

Jeg lagde først bakgrunn Christin-style, og brukte så masse lag på lag, avrundet med noen doilies her og der.. Det ble vel ikke Christinkvalitet, men håper dere ser at jeg ble inspirert av akkurat henne her.

This months challenge over at the papirdesignblog, is to be inspired by - or to lift something in the blog. The DT has also done that, and I got Christin Grønnslett - Boy did I feel the pressure!!

I started making a background Christin-style, added lots of layers with some doilies inbetween. It did not turn out as beautiful as her projects are, but I hope you see who I got inspired by;-)

Alle arkene er fra Papirdesign - noen gamle, og noen helt nye. Swirl, bakgrunnsstempel, hjerte-chipboard og alfabetstickers er fra Papirdesign, mens blomst og lysekronestempel og noe chipboard er fra andre produsenter.

All the papers are from papirdesign. The alphabetstickers, swirl, chipboardhearts, and ome of the stamps are also from Papirdesign.

Wish you all a good week!!

No skrei, no glory!!

In March this year I attended the World Championship in Arctic Cod fishing, and I went for the gold..

I was not lucky with the drawing of wich boat to fish from (hence the bingo paper). I got on a really bad one, where no one got the real thing. We only got this ugly deep sea fish (Brosme), and on top of that the one I got was really small...

I had told everybody that I would be the winner, so of course this really sucked!! 

LOL

So who do you think looked the most sad - the poor fish - or me??

Papers and embellishments are from the "This&That"-collection from Echo Papers.

ScrapFriends sketch 14

ScrapFriends hadde en kul og litt annerledes skisse jeg fikk lyst til å prøve meg på. Det ble en litt annerledes layout til meg å være, med bruk av masse stickers og annet stæsj jeg fant.. Det gjorde bare at jeg har lyst på MER stæsj!!

I found a really cool and a bit different sketch at ScrapFriends this month, and I wanted to give it a go. Making it I realized that I need MORE embellishments!!! I have to do some serious shopping soon..

Here is the sketch:

Regnbuekake..

Noen ganger får jeg det bare ikke til!! Sånn som nå når jeg skulle scrappe bursdagskaka til Herman.. Jeg har ødelagt mange ark, og flytta rundt på papirer og bilde til jeg ble så lei at jeg bare klæsja det sammen til slutt... 

Sometimes - as now - I just can`t scrap it!! I have had such a hard time putting this layout together, destroying lots of papers and just moving the pic and papers around and not getting it right. So - at last I just decided to have a short time limit and just get over with it.. Definitely not my best, but now I can start on other layouts in stead!

Lillblommans maiskisse.

Jeg hadde helt andre planer for maiskissa til Ulrika, men da jeg kom over disse prinsessebildene, måtte det bli en skikkelig rosa prinsesselayout...

I had plans on making a colorful and fun layout when I saw Lillblommans sketch for May, but when I found these princesspictures of my little one, I had to make it pink..

Arkene er fra KaiserKraft og Carta Bella. Blomster og bling er fra Prima. Stickers er også KaiserKraft.

My little princess got tired of reading her Princessbook, so I named the layout after one of the fairytales in it (about the princess that slept for 100 years..)

Min lille prinsesse ble veldig trøtt av å lese om alle prinsessene, så jeg synes "Tornerose" ble en passende tittel;-)

Og her er skissa jeg har brukt som utgangspunkt.

And here is the sketch.
