A forgotten layout

I tried to clean up my scrap room the other day, and among the 70++ layouts that needed a home in an album, I found this layout that I made for a baby-challenge over at Papirdesign.  

I used sketch 279 from Creative Scrappers.

Creative Scrappers #281

Oh my... its November all ready!! Can you believe it? Times flies when having fun... and I had lots of fun playing with the latest sketch from Creative Scrappers. 

The DT have made an awesome job, as usual - and I hope you find some inspiration and that you will join in and create something with this great sketch!

My girl have been complaining about her never experienced horseback riding - so here she is very happy!! When driving the long way from Oslo to Bodø this summer, we stopped at a wild animal park at Namskogan, and just before we left, my girl could sit on a horse for the first time...

I have mixed papers from American Crafts and Crate Paper on this layout, and I also found my old alphabet dies that have been lying unused for a very long time...

Hope you like it, and that you will play with the sketch..

Scrappelyst på en lørdagskveld

I felt like scrapping tonight, and did a challenge over at the Norwegian blogsite with this name - Scrappelyst. They have a sketch-challenge going, and I did the same sketch as all the DT had done - believing it was the sketch we were challenged on.. When I was finished with my layout, I found out that we could choose any of their sketches - but I am happy with the one I chose..

I have used some old papers from Papirdesign - I just love the doilies-paper, and I don`t know how many of these I have cut out the last two years... This is my last paper, but I still have some left, so you`ll might find them again in one of my layouts later on;-)

I have gotten som test-samples of the new alphabet-stickers that Papirdesign just released, and I have also used some of those cute new flowers. 

Here is the sketch I used. My layout is not as messy as the sketch, but I actually painted with watercolors behind the trimmed paper and made a few splats with a darker color to match her dress. 

Novemberchallenge at Papirdesign

Creative Scrappers #280

It is time for a new sketch over at Creative Scrappers. It is such a great sketch and the team did an amazing job with it..

I decided to flip the sketch, and cut out some flowers and used them instead of the circles. Usually when I scrap after these sketches I tend to use bright colors, but this time I wanted to do something different. The papers are from the cute line "Tea Break" from KaiserKraft, and I really like the combination pink/yellow..

The title means something like "cute in line", as the pictures were taken while she was patiently waiting in line at an amusement park this summer.

Pretty Little Studio has provided us an amazing prize for one lucky participant! To Win a prize all you need to do is create a layout and enter the challenges using our inlinkz widget at the end of the reveals for Sketches 279-280.

Cardabilities #109

I guess I am not the only one having tons of paper and embellishments that haven`t been used for years.. The last two years I have mostly used papers and embellishments from Papirdesign and Crate Paper, and all my other stuff is just collecting dust... So - I had a little look in my paper stock, and found some papers from Maya Design, and a stamped image that needed some coloring. I have loads of Prima flowers and I can`t even remember the last time I used these flowers...

I found a cardsketch from Cardabilities, and have made some quick cards with it.. 

Here is one of them:

I flipped the sketch, which looks like this:

Cards in a hurry

Jeg har ryddet litt på scrapperommet, og har funnet masse resteark, og småting som ikke har blitt puttet på rett plass igjen. Utfordret meg selv til å lage noen superkjappe kort til barnebursdager..

Det ble ganske mange - men her har dere tre stk.. Fikk også endelig tatt i bruk vannmalinga til ungene også - lol... Neste gang må jeg prøve på en layout..

I have tried to clean up my scrap room, and I found lots of papers, and embellishments that in a mysterious way had piled up in a corner.. I decided to make some quick cards with some of it for all the birthdays that always takes me by surprise. I also took the chance on trying the watercolors that "everybody" uses these days. It was fun - I`ll try it on a layout soon...

A little reminder on your chance to get 10% off the fabulous sketchbook Creating with Sketches vol.3

I have mixed several lines from Crate Paper on this layout..

Having fun - with Creative Scrappers #279

I love having fun - and here are two examples of that... 

I love playing with sketches, and had such fun using the latest sketch from Creative Scrappers. 

It`s my first layout as a DT this term, so I am really happy to show it to you. It is also a bit scary, since the rest of the team is so talented..

I used a selfie taken at a local music festival this summer. I can assure you - I had fun that weekend!! Lots of Proseco, lots of people, lots of music, and lots of laughs...

These are the best girls to have fun with, and I already look forward to the festival next year :-)

I used a couple of scraps on this layout - both the program and the ticket (the ribbon at the bottom).

Papers, stickers and embellishments are from Crate. I also found some PL-cards with Crate-patterns that I used as my squares..

Hope you liked it.

Please head over to Creative Scrappers and have a look at the rest of the reveal - and I would love to see your take on the sketch as well!!

Family-tree . DT Papirdesign

Jeg vet at Papirdesign lenge har gått med tanker om å lage et familietre, og endelig har det kommet.. Treet ble kjempeflott, og jeg fant frem to ark og satt i gang med ungenes familietre slik det ser ut i dag..
Resultatet ble jeg kjempefornøyd med, og ungene synes det var morsomt å få alle samlet på denne måten.

I know that Papirdesign have been thinking about making a paper with a Family-tree for a long time, and now it is here.. I took two papers, and started on my kids tree, and I like the result - as did the kids. They liked having us all in one page at the same time.

 

På baksiden av arket finner man slike rammer som jeg har brukt som bakgrunn for bildene og en rekke striper med ulike slektsforhold..Her har jeg klippet ut noen og limt på baksiden av rammene. Siden det er ungene som er hovedfokuset, er disse bildene i farger, mens de andre er sort-hvite. Videre er de festet med 3D-puter, slik at de står litt frem frem enn resten av bildene.

On the other side of the paper, you can find these frames, more leaves, and lots of the names of relatives you would like to have on your page. I chose to put mine behind the frames.
I printed out pics of all the closest familymembers in b-w and the kids them selves in colors. Their frames are also on 3D-dots, so that they stand more out than the rest of the pics. 

Etter at jeg hadde klippet ut alle rammene, tekstene og bladene jeg ville bruke, fant jeg ut at det var flere grener igjen på forsiden på ark nr 2. Disse klippet jeg ut og festet med 3D-puter blant de andre grenene og da ble det et mer dimensjonalt tre. I tillegg kunne jeg bruke disse grenene som festepunkter for banneren min. Den detaljen ble jeg ekstra fornøyd med...

After I was finished clipping all the frames, leaves and text, I realized I had more branches that I could cut out and put on the tree. That made the tree more dimension and I could use those branches for my banner.. 

Banneren er også festet med 3D-putene til Papirdesign. Jeg klipte som sagt også ut noen ekstra blader for å skape litt ekstra liv på layouten..
Dette var noe helt annet enn det jeg vanligvis scrapper, men etter at bildene var justert og pritet ut, tok det ikke lange tiden, da den egentlig gjorde seg selv, og jeg ikke trengte finne frem så mye annet pynt.
Bare husk at du får med deg 2 ark fra butikken hvis du selv har lyst til å lage noe lignende;-)

As soon as the pics were printed out, this didn`t take much time, and with just two papers and some 3D-dots, I had all I needed!


Her er arket og limputene som er brukt:

Da har jeg ikke mer til dere i dag, men håper dere alle får en fin helg.

OUAS-September Challenge

Daddy`s girl

I liked this months sketch over at Once Upon A... Sketch, so I had to give it a go. 

Suddenly I found myself having a real rub-on frenzy.. I can`t even remember the last time I used rub-ons, but when I first started, I could`t stop.. he he..

The theme this month is open, but you have to put in handwritten journaling.
It`s not just rub-ons I have used - I also used a couple of stamps from Papirdesign. Both the hearts, the grids and the birds are stamps..

I used several of the new flowers from Papirdesign - and a button as well. 

The little birds in the top left corner is also a stamp. 

Here is the sketch if you`d like to try:

Happy happy!!

I am still doing my happy dance and have to pinch my arm every now and then... 

Creative Scrappers is definitively the best site if you love working with sketches, and lucky me will be a part of the DT-team this fall..  There is so much talent on this team, and I can`t wait to get started. Hope you will come visit when our first reveal is up October 5...

My girl

I am so happy I finally have some time to play in my scrap room again... Oh my I have missed it!!

I have had so little time to scrap the last months, and I had to prioritize my DT-work in the small amount of time I have had. I love Papirdesign, but I have another fav as well - Crate!!

I have so much Crate-papers laying around, so last night I pulled out some "Oh Darling" and "Love Notes" and made this layout.

 I love the soft tones on these papers, and have several layers behind the photo. This photo was taken this summer at a tivoli.

I have lost one of the chipboard letters, but made one myself...

Back to do some more scrapping..

And here is my interpretation of the layoutsketch:

The lovely wooden Paper is an old one, and my last... Fortunately Papirdesign have just released a new one - just as nice as this one:-). I have gone completely bananas with all the lovely new flowers that I received from lovely Line at Papirdesign. 

Papirdesign released about 80 new flowers this time, and I chose to focus on some of the bigger ones. Here they are mostly in purple, but you can also get them in lots of other colors. 

I have also cut out some flowers from an older paper "Mormors have", and some purple doilies from "På rad og rekke". 

I love the little text-stamps, and find myself using them on almost everything I make these days...
