Scrapbook Queen 2008 (2) + France

The 2nd challenge for the Scrapbook Queen 2008 challenges is done now.
* Use one picture (NO people on it).
* Use one handcut item (I cut the swirls/doodling).
* Use paint.

I chose to create a layout about one of our skiing vacations. The pic. is taken in Sölden, Austria last year. I've used some OLD paper: DaisyD's for the background and One Heart One Mind under the pic. Buttons are Foof-a-la, scrappers floss by Karen Foster, MM brads for the tags, MM paint (white for the edges and "poppy" under the title). Journaling spots are Heidi Swapp.



Yesterday we returned from a GREAT skiing vacation in France! We lived close to Valmorel and the scenery was so beautiful. Snow, a blue - blue sky, lots of happiness and freedom. Ohh I loved it there! :-) We went by car (my brother, SIL, my DH and I) and it is a long trip (around 1700 kilometres each way). But it was cosy!
Here's some pics from our trip ... and look at the sky! It was amazing! :-)




Me, at the top of a mountain!


The house we rented!

I'll create something now. I have missed being creative a lot! :-)
Thanks a lot for stopping by! I appreciate it a lot.

New layout and some pics.

Finally I have made a new page. I haven't been creative for 1½ week, so it was great to sit in my room yesterday being creative, surfing galleries and surfing great blogs. :-) I just love that!

Well, here is what I came up with (the layout is called "new fashion?"):

My two boys with pig-hats. I think the photo is so funny! But I had a VERY HARD time putting it on paper. There are so many colors in the pic. After a long time I came up with this. The stars is cut from a Sassafras Lass paper "Daydream" and I've used some leftovers. The journaling stamp is Autumn Leaves, Sticker alpha is BG and I used a white Signo pen for the journaling. The photo is taken on New Year 2005/2006.

Saturday we went to Helsingør. It's a city far from here and it has the beautiful Kronborg Castle and a great view to Sweden! :-) It was very, very windy and kind of cold, but it was such a nice day! And I took these shots:

The harbour of Helsingør and Kronborg Castle in the background!

The beach. On the other side of the water you can see Sweden.

Thanks a lot for stopping by!
