Thumbs up

I love this photo of my son from this past summer. We had a lovely morning by the sea, fishing. The products used are from Annas Scrapbooking August Kit. It's also based upon the sketch #37 at 52 Sketches 52 weeks.

I spend this early morning with making a Thank You card for my MIL. We spend all day yesterday with her, and she took really good care of us, feeding us with delicate food and pastries. She also totally spoiled dear son. He will be making a card later today.

Recipe: Papers; Bazzill, Basic Grey. Stamps; Inkadinkado, Hero Arts, Making Memories. Ink; Adirondack. Flowers; Prima, Hobby Glede. Bling; Kaiser Kraft.

It’s based upon the fab super sketch of today at 365 cards. The 365 cards DT outdid themselves with this sketch, go check it out!!!

Today I’ll start my new yoga life with Wii Fit. I have this really pushy trainer. Might be good. I don’t know. We’ll see. If I survive.

Sweet Autumn/God Höst: Bloggparty #3

Har ni sett Basic Greys nya Indian Summer??? VILL HA!!! Puman har den goda smaken att använda annonsen som gör reklam för kollektionen i sin Bloggpartyutmaning. Det är inte angivet VAD man ska göra, så jag tolkade det fritt och gjorde en lite sensommar/höstpresent. Jag inspirerades av mycket i den: Indiansommar (vem vill inte ut i skogen och plocka svamp då???), färgerna brunt och orange, löven, och designen. Jag använde det jättefina höstinspirerade månadskittet från Annas Scrapbooking till det här. Lycka är att det innehåller Basic Grey papper (bland annat!!!).

Puman’s Blog party challenge is to make an item inspired by the Basic Grey Indian Summer ad. LOVE THIS CHALLENGE! Love BG, love this line, love ad challenges… I could continue… I did the challenge this early morning while not sleeping due to terrible tooth ache. (Have an appointment at 1 pm!). Paper crafting is a great pain killer (or pain distracter). I also incorporated today’s 365 cards challenge by naming the piece God Höst (which can be translated to SWEET autumn).

Recipe: Papers; Bazzill, Basic Grey. Alphabet; DCWV. Leaf; Youdo. Stamp; Kortmakaren. Mis; ribbon, signo pen. Template: PTI

The last couple of weeks…

…I’ve played with the most AMAZING butterfly themed mixed media (canvas and lutradur!!!) kit from 1WorldScrap. I made 6 projects (3 layouts, 2 cards and 1 altered item) with it and STILL have plenty left. The kit will be available soon at the web shop with full instructions and photos of all the projects. Here is a sneak peek.

I got the last part of my Bloggparty prize today. It’s beautiful and I wouldn’t mind keeping it… heehehee… But did I get the photos needed???? Noooo…. But I sure will tomorrow! You are welcome to play along!

I have made my first entrance for Bloggparty. It’s a must use challenge held by FruNina. You should use

• Three different patterned papers
• A minimum of six flowers
• Paint
• Something made out of wood
• Bling
• Something punched out…

This is a page made out of the August kit from Annas Scrapbooking. It’s a lovely autumn themed kit that worked perfectly with the sweet photo of my parents. I used velvet whisper (from Youdo) with bling for the first time (included in the kit) and wow, what an awesome effect! I put it on the flowers and got a beautiful shimmery soft look. I punched out the border and the heart. The buttons are solid wood, crackle paint symbolizing a Swedish proverb “Gammal kärlek rostar aldrig” Old love never grow rusty (or something like that). The flowers ar blingy, and there is a bling heart. The blue punched paper is a patterned blue paper from Pink Paislee

Tonight I’m watching the second episode of True Blood!!!
