Ferie-LO

Da jeg så en rigtig FED skitse ovre hos Creative Scrappers, måtte jeg bare igang med den. Jeg synes hele opsættet er så cool! Skitsen har #17.
Så jeg ledte mine feriebilleder igennem og vidste, at jeg ville lave noget med stranden fra Italien.
Her er så resultatet:

Baggrundsarket er et BG fra "Oh Baby!" serien.
Blomstret ark, som jeg vandt ovre hos Multiscrap, er Prima Baby Boy Collection.
Beigefarvede mønsterark er fra min månedspakke - denne gang fyldt med Pink Paisley varer!!
Det ternede ark er et gammelt Sassafras Lass "sew fine" serien.
Prima blomster.
Thickers til titlen.
Tuborgklammerne er Making Memories.
Sort sværte.

Håber i alle nyder weekenden til fulde! Her har det været skønt vejr. Sol og klar himmel, dog noget køligere end ellers. Jeg har i hvert fald NYDT min friweekend helt vildt! :-)

...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.

4 days off

YEAH!! Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday we are OFF work.
We will go to ROSKILDE FESTIVAL. And the weather will be so great this year!! Now I hardly can't wait anylonger. We are going to hear a lot of bands and I look very much forward to hear SPLEEN UNITED!! They really rock!! Esp. their tune "Suburbia". We will also go to concerts with Duffy, Radiohead, Band of Horses, Veto, L.O.C. (Danish), Alphabeat (Danish) to mention a few!! It's going to be WILD! :-)
Our boys are going to their grandmom (my mother in law) on a little vacation. ;-)

Well, this layout I did for a sketch competition over at Scrap is Fun. The rule was to use cherries somewhere on the layout and to follow the sketch of course.
Again the pictures are old ones. They are from 2003. My boys loooooved these rabbits! :-)
Background paper is n old Chatterbox. The arrow is grungeboard (Tim Holtz), Prima flower, button and journaling tags are Heidi Swapp. The stamps with the bird on it is fancy pants desgin.

I'll be off the internet for 4 days now. Have a nice time everyone - I'll talk to you soon!

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)

More challenge layouts

Denmark has got a new GREAT challengeblog! It's called 1-2-3-Scrap. And the first challenge was to use a sketch. I loved playing along. And here's what I did...

*****************************************

Next layout is for my BOM. Over at Dreamgirls the challenge this time is to do a page about

That's all for today! I'll talk to you soon! :-)

I've bought it over at E-lounge and I only payed 166,00 Danish Kroner (shipment included).

Well, I'm off to dinner. I'll talk to you soon! Thanks for visiting my little corner of the web.

Red for Boys

I think that red suits these layouts very well! And the pictures shows my boys. So red for boys are so okay, in my opinion! :-) It's fun to mix a lot of colors - like I did on the "Politiklovn" - which directly translated means "Police-clown". My youngest son LOVES to be the actor of the house. He has so many fun ideas and he really cracks me up! I made this layout over at Dreampapers to a great crop I went to in the beginning of this month. Thanks Annette, for suggesting the title! :-)


I'm sorry the photo got a little dark! The weather here isn't the best for taking pictures. Here's dark and it's snowing!

Next layout is made using a sketch from Tamaras sketches. And it was fun to work with! The pictures are of my two boys sipping slush ice - which they LOOOOOVE! And especially this very blue one! I have used a mix of Sassafras Lass and My Mind's Eye "Bohemia".


The layout is more bright IRL.
I have tried to write the title myself. It should have been bigger, but now I don't do otherwise. I'll let it be as it is.

Thank you very much for visiting my little corner of the web!

Using Pagemaps sketches

I have always been a lettersize scrapper, but recently I discovered the joy in using the 12 x 12 size. It's amazing HOW creative and HOW much space you can use on a 12 x 12 layout. I'm so happy that I decided to finally give this size a chance! And now .... after creating about 20 layouts in this BIG size I am totally hooked! :-)
And another thing is: I can use some very cool sketches now!! And I do!! I've fallen in love with the sketches from Pagemaps - they are so awesome! And here's 2 layouts I've created using some of these sketches:


For a long time I've wanted to use these pics. for a layout. It's my oldest son when he was 2 years old and when he was 9 years old (he's now 10!). Thought it was fun to use pictures from two different times in his life in ONE layout.
I've used the Pagemaps august 2007 sketch.




These pics are brand new. They are taken in January this year, and is from our skiing vacation in France. It's my SIL and I having fun at an outdoor bar! The weather was so beautiful and it was such a nice afternoon! :-) Again I've used a sketch from Pagemaps.
I have blurred my SIL as I haven't asked her about posting her pic on the net. ;-)

Thanks a lot for stopping by! I'll talk to you soon.

One more sketch layout

Sunday there was a challenge over at SIF.
Rikke (aka Scraps) has made this sketch and it was a fun one to play with! :-)



And here's what I came up with! The pics. are a year old and they show my youngest son as a Master of Karate! Here in Denmark we celebrate "Fastelavn" = shrovetide (in February) - where the kids are dressed up. They hit a big barrel (right word??) and inside the barrel ther's a lot of candy and fruit. When someone hits so hard, so the barrel break he/she becomes the Cat's Queen. The one who hit the last of the barrel off of the rope, becomes the Cat's King. :-) It's a very old tradition. And in the (VERY) old days, a cat was inside the barrel all alive and kicking!! Ohhh my! It doesn't sound good at all!! I'm glad it's only candy and fruit now a days! :-)



Backgroundpaper: Basic Grey "Lilykate".
Patterned paper: Cosmo Cricket "Doc Holiday".
Mini marks (rub ons - right side of the layout + the brackets): American Crafts.
Autumn Leaves journaling Clear Stamps.
Rhonna Farrer clear stamp: "single scroll" for the left side of the layout with flowers on it.
Prima Got Flowers, mini.
Green bling embellishement on the flowers.
Thickers: American Crafts "Rootbeer float".
Buttons: Foof-a-La. (Bag-O-Buttons).
Scrappers floss, Karen Foster: Orange (on the big "F"). Orange and green on the buttons.

Thank you very much for stopping by!

Sketch layout.

I have made this layout for a little competition over at Li Om Hjørnet. It was so much fun creating this layout. I loved using all the K&Company goodies (papers and flowers) and I love the color turquoise.

Here's the sketch (made by Marianne aka The Scrap Cat)


And here's my take on it:


The winner was found by a draw ... and it wasn't me who won, but I'm very satisfied with my layout and I loved using the sketch!
The picture shows my DH and me (2 years ago) on our trip to the wonderful London!

Thank you for stopping by!

Back to school

Yesterday a new school year started here in Denmark. My two boys were sooooo happy and they looked very much forward to go back to their friends and teachers. And they had a wonderful 1st day at school.

This pic. was taken yesterday morning before heading to school. My big one didn't want to be on the photo... but I forced him! haha!! Look at his grumpy face! ;-)

My youngest one is 7 (turns 8 next month) and are in 2nd grade now. The big one is 9 (turns 10 next month) and his in 4th grade.

I wanted to scrap in the weekend and I wanted to use some photos of my youngest son doing his homework. I didn't know how to place the 3 photos - so I drew a sketch myself. My first attempt in making a LO-sketch. It was fun!!

Here's the sketch:

And here's my layout:

Products used: Sassafras Lass "playtime" paper, dots are cut out from a Creative Imaginations paper, photo frame, Vellum tag, ribbon bought in a local store, letters for the title are alphabet tiles from Hot of the Press.

I got tagged again. This time by my great Norweigean online friend Tone! She has nominated me for the Rockin' Girl Blogger award! Thank you very much sweetie! I really appreciate it! :-)

I have tagged some girls with this wonderful award earlier, but now I will tag a few more:

Jette, who has a wonderful blog and she makes beautiful LOs!
Lone, who also makes great LOs and has a very cosy blog!
Deanne in Canada, who I got to know via Sisterhood of Scrap. She's a great scrapper and is such a nice person!

Thanks a lot for stopping by! :-)
