Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween til jer allesammen!

Her i huset fejrer vi det ikke som sådan, men vi går da op i at lave lygtemænd og vi synes det er lidt spændende med alt det uhyggelige i det. :-)
Vi har endnu ikke nået at skære lygtemænd, men det bliver gjort i morgen, da jeg har helt fri og vi bare skal HYGGE uhyggeligt. he he :-)

Sidste år lavede jeg disse små figurer, synes de blev meget cool.
De er lavet af toiletruller. Jeg havde set ideen i scrapbooking mm. (det svenske blad) og så måtte jeg bare prøve at lave nogen selv.
Og så kan jeg også vise et ældre Halloween layout af ungerne, fra dengang de skar deres første græskarhoved (for kun 2 år siden).
Og til allersidst et ældgammelt layout.
L og jeg var til stor Halloween party i 2002 - det var godt nok sjovt. Der kom dette layout ud af det eneste billede, vi tog dengang.
Man kan godt se på "layout stilen" at det er længe siden jeg har lavet det. :-)
L vandt i øvrigt præmien for bedst udklædte herre. Sejt!

Suuuuuuper goooooood uhyyyyyyyyggelig Halloweeeeeeeeeeen!

Canal Grande

Til denne uge, ovre hos Tamara, fik jeg lavet dette ferie-LO fra Venedig:

Jeg stod oppe på den berømte Rialto Bro og tog disse billeder (+ mange flere af samme kaliber!). Skitsen, som Tamara havde lavet, synes jeg var rigtig god (igen!) og jeg elsker de farver jeg fik sat sammen til mine billeder.
Ark: My Minds Eye, BG.
Blomster er Prima.
Knapper + Srappers floss.
Heidi Swap sommerfugle.
Journaling tag fra Making Memories.
Den bølgede chipboard ned langs LOet er Pink Paislee (fra min månedpakke).
Thickers igen, igen.
Blonden er fra en blomsterbutik.
Rød Slick Writer.

Det ser lidt skævt ud, men det er det altså ikke IRL.

Tak for besøget. Nu vil jeg gøre mig klar aftenvagten i aften.
God dag til jer alle.
~Charlotte~

...bare lidt for sjov...

Jeg surfede lidt rundt på forskellige skitse-blogge i går. Jeg kom til en udfordringsblog, der hedder Mojoholder og så en skitse, som jeg bare MÅTTE prøve at lave noget sjovt med.

Skitsen har #79, hvis i er interesserede i at se den.
Jeg synes skitsen lægger op til "fis og ballade", så jeg ledte efter et billede ud i det tema. Jeg fandt et sjovt billede af Emil, som blev fanget lige i det øjeblik han vælter på sin lille fætters scooter.

Og dette er så LOet:

For første gang i laaaaaang tid har jeg brugt et helt almindeligt stykke karton til baggrund.
Cirklerne er skåret ud fra et Cherry Arte ark.
Linieret papir købt hos Dreampapers.
Journalingtag er MM {note}worthy købt hos The Paperfarm.
Forskellige knapper.
Titelbogstaver: Thickers.
Båndet vandt jeg hos Multiscrap til National Scrapbooking Day konkurrencen.
Stor rød Primablomst.
Og så er der brugt lidt sværte + en rød slick writer.

Nu vil jeg scrappe lidt videre inden jeg skal på aftenvagt.
Ønsker jer alle en dejlig dag.

A little present

This little present I did for my mom and dad. Almost every Thursday evening we are having dinner at their house (my brother and his family are also coming). It's soooooooo cosy and I just love it. :-)
Yesterday I created a little present for my parents as a thank you for having us over again and again.
I had some "Mozart chocolate" from our vacation and my parents loves those little balls! :-) And this is what I did:


I found the how-to over at TheScrapCat. It was so easy. It only took me 20 minutes. And my parents loved the little gift. :-)

Gocart

This week we received a GREAT sketch from Tamara. I loved working with it!
I love the big circle and the way the photos are placed on the layout. I decided to use some pics. of my oldest son riding a gocart. He tried that in Sommerland Sjælland last Summer and he really had a blast. He loved it and he got the technique quite fast. :-)
I have only used 3 colors: Black, green and white (to match the sweatshirt he's wearing).
Papers are Cosmo Cricket. The corners and journaling tag are Making Memories diecuts (5th Avenue) and then I've used green felt thickers for the title.

Thank you very much for dropping by!

Pigeons and an award

I did this layout for a sketch challenge over at 1-2-3-scrap. Unfortunately something happened in cyberspace as my layout never was received. Oh well, that's what happens.
I'm really satisfied with the result and I love the colors - blue and orange - together. They match so fine and they match my sons shirt.
The pics. are taken in Venice. This big place (Markus Pladsen) has sooooo many pigeons and they are very tame. The kids (and my DH + my dad!!) loved to feed them.

Orange paper: Sassafras Lass, blue/green papers and the blue bird: October Afternoon, chipchatter letters (Pressed Petals) for the title, journaling tag: My Mind's Eye, Chipboard swirl, which I painted blue with a Heidi Swapp acrylic paint and I've used some goldbrads and blue flowers.

I've received this wonderful award from Jette. Thank you very much sweetie. I really appreciate it. I'm supposed to give it to 7 people - and right now I don't know to who. I will think a little about it.
EDIT: I just noticed that Kimic also gave me this great award. Thanks a lot Kirsten, it's so sweet of you! And thank you for the nice words!

By the way, the Header is made of a photo I took in Venice. I love the outcome, but I do think it's a little too big, maybe I'll change it soon. :-)

Thanks for dropping by. I'll talk to you soon.

Cool Challenges

Before we went to Italy I participated in some challenges.
First one was over at Unik Hobby with a sketch challenge. I loved the simple sketch and loved to use circles. The colored patterned paper and the journaling circle is Cosmo Cricket.


Next challenge I did was over at 1-2-3-scrap. You had to make your own transparency to use on the layout. I was totally inspired by the Hambly transparencies - so I did a circular one. This is how I did it: Paint, a glass and then stamp on the transparency.














Here's the layout:

2 layouts for Sketches! By Tamara.

Here's my latest DT work for Sketches! By Tamara.
First one is sketch #51. I love the pictures of all 5 kids (the two of them are mine and the rest are my brothers). They are best friends and they enjoy very much to play together. One of these pics. is used to do big pencil drawing for my mom (a gift from my dad). It's on their livingroom wall now. How nice is that!? :-)


2nd one is sketch #53.
I LOVE LONDON! I was so lucky to go there with my DH in July 2005 for 3 days. We enjoyed this big city very much and we saw a lot, shopped a lot, walked a lot, laughed a lot. :-) We have great memories from there.

Another Unpubbed layout

This layout has been sitting on my desk for 1½ week. Somehow I couldn't finish it. Today I sat down, pushed myself to FINISH this project and I like the final result. I've been scraplifting Crissy over at Unpubbed. I liked her layout very much!! Go over at see it for yourself - it's called "Clear".

The photo I've used is taken in Sommerland Sjælland last Summer. We had a very grey sky and some rain, but my husband, my brother and the 4 oldest kids jumped into the water anyways. hehe. They got very cold, but the LIKED it. brrrrr. Look at that grey sky!!!

A nice little package

I've received this very nice little package yesterday (on my BIRTHDAY!!!) from Jenni Bowlin Studio! I just love the tickets! Each package contains 18 tickets total - 6 of each style! They ROCK! :0)
I also love the mini label papers with scalloped edges! I placed the order on June 19 - and on June 24 th I found it in my mailbox. It was a super fast shipping all the way from the US.

I found this sketch over at Scrapsisters. The sketch is by V. Salmon. I loved it and I did a layout using the sketch.













For the layout I have used:
The background paper is an OLD DaisyD's. Tickets, buttons, scrappers floss, arrows by Heidi Swapp, Thickers for the title, green acrylic paint.
It was a bit hard to use so colorful photos, but I think the result turned out as I wanted it to.

Thank you for visiting my little corner of the web. I'll talk to you soon. :0)

Awesome RAK from Singapore!

Today I received a L-O-V-E-L-Y!! RAK from Wati in Singapore! I've been the Guest Designer over at Scrappin Kids and that's why I've received all these goodies! :-) Thank you very much, Wati. I love everything you sent!! ((Big Hugs)) to you and the rest of the crew at Scrappin Kids!

I received: 2 packs of thickers, 2 different awesome ribbon and 3 sheets of Prima papers "Dude Collection". The colors are so great!!!
Picture #2 shows the papers on the back-side. Also lovely colors and patterns! The 3rd pic. is a bit blurry, but it's Wati's nice note for me!












































I have been scrapping lately, but I can't show any of it yet, as most of it are for challenges and one layout is my DT work for Sketches! By Tamara. It will be featured on her blog on Monday!

I hope you're enjoying the weekend. I'll talk to you very soon!

Summertime

Ahhhh - it's so lovely. The sun is shining from a very blue sky. The temperatures is around 23-25 degrees celcious and it's soon weekend (I just need to go to work tonight, so when it's 9 o'clock tonight I have WEEKEND!!!).

Well, I went outside today taking a few shots of my garden. And here's a couples of photos. I just love the pink flowers!!! We have lots of them in the garden, but unfortunately the blooming is very short.

Next pic. shows our fish pond.
My DH build it 3 years ago and we love to sit there wathing the fish (they are VERY tame - as we can feed them by hand! Isn't that cool??).



I've done the fruit layout for a contest over at the scrap cat. And I was so lucky to win! (you can see my prize in the previous post). I've used som old BG paper for the background - I thought the colors were perfect for the layout.














Last but not least: My first DT work over at Tamaras. You can find the sketch (#47) over at her blog. I've used some old photos from the Summer of 2004 - where we visited Bon Bon Land - a fun place for children .. and adults .. hehe.




















That's it for today! I hope you all will have a VERY nice weekend. Thanks for your visit.

Sketch This!

I've used BG "Mellow" paper for the background and some leftovers. Primaflowers, a felt flower and a cardstock flower (under the feltflower). Scrappers floss, thickers, buttons and ink.

Scraplifting

I was reading in one of my scrapbooking magazines (CK - August 2007) and I saw a layout created by Jessica Sprague (page 65). I loved the design and I just had to do a scraplift. I've used some photos from Christmas 2005 showing my sweet nephew (I have "erased" his face as I haven't asked about permission to show his picture on my blog) and the other boy is my youngest one. They are sitting on my parents kitchen table having a good time! :-)



Papers: Kelly Panacci (for Sandylion = the brown one) and the other one i Daisyd's. Both papers are very old!
Brown Bazzill.
Buttons: MOD "Winder garden".
Tag with flowers on it: 3bugsinarug.
100% friends tag: K & Company.
Heart brad: From a swap.
Christmas stickers and scrappers floss: Karen Foster.
Title: Thickers.
The ribbon is bought in a supermarket.

That's all! Thanks for your visit.

Who said Thickers??

Who said Thickers?? Me?? Well, I probably did because I looooooooove those little sticky numbers & letters, which comes in all shapes and colors. I know I have mentioned my love for Thickers MANY times before ... but hey! Who can really have enough Thickers?? Not me!! Every time I shop for scrapbook-supplies I end up with one or two sheets of Thickers.....



And ......



I've been creative today. I did this layout. I wanted to use some of the BG Mellow papers I bought this week on sale. And here's the result. ... Cosy autumn photos and cosy autumn colors.



The photos seems to be a little blurry here - but in real life they are not blurry at all.
Orange flowers and tags are from Panduro Hobby. The other flowers are from a swap. The "stitching" is Doodlebug rubons and I've used Junkitz brads.

Thanks a lot for your visit! I appreciate it a lot.

Secret revealed: Guest DT!!

Remember I told you that I had a little secret! Today I can reveal it! Take a look at Sketches! by Tamara!
I am the Guest DT right now! And I feel so honoured! I'm so glad that Tamara emailed med and asked me to be her Guest DT this week. :-)
I could choose any one of Tamara's sketches and create a layout. I chose sketch #33 - which you can find on Tamara's sketch blog. Here's my result:


Photos show my youngest one back in the Summer of 2003. Long time ago!! hehe. I just love the photos of him enjoying a warm and beautiful day!

Background paper are K & Company.
Buttons are Basic Grey.
Different flowers and MM flower brads.
Journaling tag: Creative Imaginations.

I hope you all are having a GREAT Saturday!

Unpubbed

Over at unpubbed, a great challenge blog, it's Sasha who's this periods person to have her 15 min.s of fame. She's chosen one of her own layouts, and we are supposed to show our version of the layout. It was so much fun to do this one:



See, I'm back to my lettersize layouts! Ahhhh - it was so cosy to scrap this format again. I think I'm the kind of person who will never get satisfied with only one type of format for my layouts. I enjoy both lettersize and the 12 x 12. ... and also minibooks! :-)
Well, for this layout I have used: Papers are K&Company "Urban Rhapsody" - I just love this line!! Felt border is from Panduro Hobby, QK fish and splashes are from swaps. The ribbon is also from a swap. Thickers and a tag.

Thanks for visiting me!

Another little secret ....

Yeah - I have another little secret to share with you ... but not now!! You'll have to wait two weeks before I reveal it. On Saturday April 19th - to be more exact. :-) hehe! It's something cosy and very nice!

Well - I have been creative today! Actually I have been doing a lot of things today: Cleaning the house, went to a big mall with my DH and kids as the boys needed new sneakers so badly, and then we rushed home and cooked a very nice lunch. ...and now I sit here! Ahh - it's so wonderful!

Here's what I did:


The pics are a bit old (2 years), but I love them! They tell the story about my oldest son loving those little animals and bugs. I just love the Hambly rubons and thought they were nice to use on this layout. The jounaling card is Creative Imaginations "Narratives" by Karen Russell. QK grasshoppers (which I've received in a swap). Thickers for the title, Sassafras Lass paper (with the flowers) and some leftovers.

Thank you very much for stopping by! Now I will work on my little secret! ;-)
