updates and new blog candy

Well, one of my sisters said yesterday that she could see on my blot that I had not beed making any scrapbooking this summer. That is actually not correct - I have just been a lazy blogger. Also most of my LO where made for challenges so they could not be shown until after the challenge was completed.

Nå, en af mine søstre sagde til mig i går (og du må gerne føle dig truffet - Jette) at jeg vist ikke have lavet noget scrapbooking i lang tid. Det er faktisk ikke rigtigt, jeg har bare været en doven blogger. Og så er de fleste Lo lavet til udfordringer som lige skulle afsluttes før jeg kunne vise dem.

The first one is made for a challenge at Scrapsisters where the challenge was to use lots of eyelets or brads and use summer colors. I made this LO, using a skech from Page Maps. I acctually love the outcome of that LO - the colors make me so happy

Det første LO er lavet til en udfordring hos Scrapsisters hvor udfordringen lød på at bruge mange eyelets eller brads, samt bruge sommer farver. Skitsen er fra Page Maps bogen. Jeg er rigtig glad for dette Lo, farverne gør mig så glad.


Materials: Basic Grey/Lollipop Shoppe: Bananasplit, Huckleberry and Marzipan, bazzill, Making Memories/(note)worthy journaling blog, ribbon, thickers and all sorts of eyelets

The next one is also from a Scrapsisters challenge - to use something on the LO that our children had made. I used the card I made for my son Thors 10th birthday. The Magnolia stamp he colored himself with distress ink. That was not easy for him but he was very proud of the stamp and keft asking me to make a card with that. When he got the card for his birthday he got very proud again and showed it to all af his friends. I don't think he ever really looked at any cards he ever got, so that also made me very proud too. Sketch again from Page Maps (love that book!)

Det næster er også fra en udfordring på scrapsisters - brug noget dit barn har lavet. Jeg brugte et kort som jeg lavede til min søn Thors 10 års fødselsdag. Han har selv malet stempelaftrykket med distress ink og det var ikke nemt for ham. Han blev ved med at spørge om jeg ikke skulle bruge det til et kort og han blev rigtig stolt da han så så kortet til ham selv. Han har endda vist kortet til hans venner og det gør mig rigtig stolt for jeg tror aldrig før han har bemærket de kort han har fået. Skitse igen fra Page Maps - hvor jeg elsker den bog.


Material: Basic Grey/Mellow: Ripe, Harvested and Automne. Bazzill, felt border, Petaloo Box Blends Dahlia in Blue/brown. thickers. The card is made with bazzill, BG/Mellow

This Lo is made for a challenge at 123 scrap - to use homemade overlay on a LO. Sketch from ... Page Maps. This is Thor again, when he was 9. alway making funny faces or figures when he had his picture taken. For some time now we have not got any pictures of him being him. Guess that is what it is like to have 9-10 year old boy!

Dette LO er lavet til en udfordring hos 123 Scrap hvor man skulle bruge hjemmelavet overlay på et LO. Skitse igen fra Page Maps. Det er Thor igen, da han var 9 år og altid lavede ansigter eller figurer når man tog billeder af ham. Vi har ikke mange "normale" billeder af ham, men sådan er det nok at have en søn på 9-10 år!


Materials: Dream Street Paper/Art Nouveau: Aesthetic, Ornamental and Avant Garde, Bazzill, overlay with rub-ons and MM paint. Thickers

The last LO I made for a sketch challenge at Unik Hobby where I was so lucky to win. There where so many good LO so that came as a plessant surprice for me. My younges son Toke alway ran into doors or furnitures when he learned to walk. He always had swellings somewhere on his head in that period. Poor litle man! But he was tough and hardly ever cryed. Sketch made by Maria Rasmussen

Det sidste Lo er lavet til Unik Hobbys skitse stafet udfordring, som jeg var så heldig at vinde. Der var ellers lavet rigtig mange flotte LO, så det var en dejlig sommer overraskelse da jeg kom hjem fra ferie. Min yngste søn Toke havde altid buler i hovedet da han først lærte at gå. Han gik ind i døre, møbler osv. men han var sej og græd næsten aldrig over dem. Skisten er lavet af Maria Rasmussen.


materials: Dream Street Paper/Near & Dear: Tristan, Erika and Cameron. Grungeboard, ribbong, charm, scrappers floss, thickers and QK Metro letters

Card making day

Last Thursday some of my scrap friends came to make cards. We had a very nice evening only making cards. Our living room was stuffed with stamps, paper, embellishment, laughing women etc.

The weather was very good and we had dinner outside (- it was not possible to find our dinning table anyhow)

Sidste torsdag kom nogle af Odderne hjem til mig for at lave kort. Vi var 6 piger og hele vores stue var fyldt med stempler, papir, embellishment, grinende piger osv. Det var rigtig hyggeligt. vejret var flot så vi spiste aftensmad udenfor (vi kunne nu heller ikke have fundet spiste bordet alligevel)

I managed to make these 2 cards that I was supposed to give away Friday. they are for our friends to sons 13th and 16th birtday.

jeg fik lavet disse 2 kort som jeg skulle give væk fredag. De er til vores venners 2 drenges 13 års og 16 års fødselsdag.

Blog Candy

Starving Artistamps are releasing some new great stamps: DoodleFactory The Great outdoor. They are giving on away as a blog candy, so if you want the change of winning those, go the their blog.

That is all for now - I really need to be more active on my blog in the future. But now my summer holiday is over and I have to start work monday so hopefully things will get more normal in the future.

Det var alt for nu. jeg skal vist til at være lidt mere aktiv på min blog i fremtiden. Nu er min sommer ferie over og jeg starter på arbejde igen på mandag, så forhåbentlig vil der blive mere normale tilstande i fremtiden.
