I went to a crop

Yesterday I went to a crop in Dreampapers - and it was soooooo much fun! I think we were about 20 scrappers gathered for a whole day! From 10am to 10 pm. :-) A lot of beautiful and very creative layouts were created, there were aswesome challenges and prizes, great food and a wonderful atmosphere!! I love to participate in crops in Dreampapers!
I shared a table with Solvej (do you have a blog, Solvej??), Gitte , Pialine and two other girls I hadn't met before. It was a GREAT table and we had a lot for fun and cosy talking!! Thank you for a GREAT day ladies!

I worked on 3 layouts to the crop! One of them got finished, but the other two aren't done as of yet.
This one is about my sweet boys in the Summer of 2005. I've used a sketch from Pagemaps!



The swirls are made with a little Rhonna Farrer clear stamp. Ribbon is from MM, the "remember" tag is also Making Memories. Foof-a-la Buttons. Sandylion papers (the blue and red) and Basic Grey as background paper. Thickers for the title. The journaling box is Creative Imaginations.

Today I managed to create a layout for the Scrapbook Queen 2008 challenges over at Multiscrap! I thought I wouldn't finish before deadline, but I did! The challenge is to watch the music video with Cyndi Lauper "Girls just wanna have fun" and then scrap a page about something that inspired us from the video! Fun, fun, fun!! I can't show that layout yet, as the voting will be in the next week!

Thank you for visiting my little blog! I'll talk to you soon!

Ahhh - the 80's!

Over at ScrapCatForum the challenge for January was to scrap a smell or a taste which reminded us of our childhood. I chose a GREAT smell, which I really miss. I get all happy when I think about it and also a tiny bit sad. My layout for this challenge is about my grandparents. My beloved granddad died in Jan. 2002, and I still miss him a lot. I still have my grandmom ... sort of. She's not well, she's tired of life actually and it makes me so sad.
Well, I found an old photo of my grandparents kitchen-window (the photo is taken in the early 80's). And I just knew I would use this photo for my layout about a great smell from my childhood. My grandparents house had a wonderful smell. Always so fresh and clean ... and I loved it!

This was a very fun challenge to do! And here's my result:



Again I chose to scrap 12 x 12 - and this is my 3rd layout in this size. :-) The bird on the photo is my bird, which my granddad gave to me. I had him for 12 years!! I tought him to speak and he loved being outside his cage "talking" to me. He loved sitting on my hand! He was a very cute bird! :-) This LO will be a part of my BOM!

Well, I'm off now. Tomorrow we are travelling to France (to go skiing) together with my brother and SIL. A week of freedom without kids, work or anything like that. Just 4 adults having some fun!!

Have a NICE week! I'll talk to you all soon!
