Don't look down!
A few years ago, the lift at Hundfjället was still running during the summer. We took the lift all the way up on the mountain, and went by rodel down. It was as scary to go up as it was fun to go down! I tried to extend the sky, mountains and nature from the photo in this layout.

Table tennis
This picture is technically not good at all, but it brings back good memories from our yearly visit to Tandådalen. The kids enjoy having lots of friends around them all days long, and when the Poolarium is closed they find their way down to the table tennis room instead. (Table tennis is called "pingis" or "pingpong" in Swedish). I am really happy with the clear emobssed stamp in the lower left corner of the background paper. The letters are covered in a layer of Glossy Accents. The ticket is from the ever so generous Mirabyll.

The softest of paws
I just signed up for a course in how to handle digital images, primarily using Photoshop. It's really fun this far, but at the first online class the teacher told us that we are only allowed to use one (1) image of our favourite pet per semester. Not so good. That means that more than half my image library is off limits. I'll just have to get my camera and find other motifs for my photos. Anyway, here is another layout with a photo of the sweetest, softest paws in the world, belonging to my cat Kitty.

And the winners are ...
Allt om Scrap har haft bloggparty hela sommaren, och jag bidrog med en utmaning för augusti månad. Det gällde att scrappa en favoritlåt och det verkade tilltala många för jag har fått in hela 15 bidrag! Fantastiskt fina är de allihop och jag är mäkta imponerad av era fantastiska layouter och kort. Bra jobbat, tjejer! Jag lovade att dela ut två priser, ett genom omröstning här hemma och en genom lottning. Lottningen gick bra, det var värre att rösta fram en vinnare. Men nu har vi gjort det i alla fall och jag har glädjen att presentera vinnaren i min utmaning, framröstad av familjen MacGregor + en av barnens kompisar: Krumeluran! Grattis! Här är Krumelurans bidrag:
Och vinnaren genom lottning blev ... ScräpEmma! Här är hennes bidrag, som även det är kanonfint:
Maila era adresser till mig på ulrika.macgregor[snabel-a]telia.com så kommer varsin Cuttlebug embossingfolder på posten! Grattis igen och tack alla för att ni ville anta min lilla utmaning!
These are the winners of my August challenge at the Forum Allt om Scrap. Good job, girls!

Pool-crazy
My daughter and her friends go absolutely crazy every summer when we go to Tandådalen in the mountains. They spend every waken hour having fun in the Poolarium, with very short and reluctant breaks for lunch and snacks. In this picture, you can really see how tired she is, and still so very, very lucky to be there. Papers from Imaginisce and Scrapperdashery. The title is Revolution Washington. The text is written on vellum, with a computer.
Titeln, lackad med Glossy accents.
The title, laquered with Glossy accents.
Vattendroppar, även de gjorda med Glossy accents.
Water drops, also made with Glossy accents.

Keeping it simple
A couple of girls have asked me to show them how to scrapbook. They are used to crafts of different kinds, but scrapbooking is new to them. And of course I want to show them some tips and tricks! The most difficult part will be to keep it simple, and not include too many techniques. I will not even go into stamping at all, but let them use scissors, paper, die cuts and simple decorations. I am also considering using a smaller format, so they will be scrapping 8x8. I have made a couple of layouts just to show them what they can do, and these are actually my first 8x8 layouts ever! I like this format and will definately scrap this size again.
