2ja vikna afrakstur


jæææææjaaaaaa....loksins er ég búin með síðuna sem er búin að vera í vinnslu í  2 vikur.
Myndin er af fallegu dóttur minni. :)

....og ó dear lord hvað það var sársaukafullt að rífa þennan dásamlega pappír! :Þ

Næstum allt stöffið fæst eða fékst hjá www.skrappoggaman.is , nema kannski EEELDgamli MME ramminn sem er á bakvið myndina.  Já það kemur alltaf rétti tíminn til að nota gamla stöffið :)



Fyrir skrappnördana :)

Mest allt dótið var blekað, stainað og málað með hvítri akrílmálningu, í mörgum, mörgum umferðum.


Þetta stóra blóm var beislitað og vínrautt köflótt og grófa laufblaðið ljósbrúnt. Bæði stainað fyrst með distress stain og svo málað með hvítri akríl málningu og svo blekað smá með svörtu bleki. Litlu laufblöðin voru græn og blúndan túrkíslitið og voru bara máluð hvít í nokkrum umferðum og blekuð með svörtu örlítið. Stóra laufblaðið þarna efst var hvítt, en málað með glimmer glam og svo með hvítu. Pappírsblúndan var pönsuð með MS munsturgatara, blekuð og krumpuð og svo þurrburstuð með hvítu.


Það var eins með þessi lauf en stóra blómið með hempbandinu á var hvítt, stainað með túrkís, málað með hvítu og svo blekað með svörtu. Rósin og minna blómið voru bæði túrkís og bara máluð með hvítu og svo blekuð með svörtu. Stafirnir eru frá Glitz.


Þessi fallegi ljósastaur er frá Prima og grunnpappírinn mistaður með chalkboard misti, túrkís og hvítu.


Jæja, hvað finnst ykkur um að ég útlisti síðurnar svona, setji linka á þær vörur sem eru til og þannig? 
er eitthvað gagn í því?

Nú er sko gaman að skrappa!



Nú þegar allt er orðið svona fínt í föndurherberginu, þá tók ekki langan tíma að skella þessari síðu saman. Myndefnið er fallega skvísan mín. Þessi guðdómlega pappír og megnið af skrautinu er frá þeirri frábæru verslun Skrappoggaman.

Team Orange


This is my take on the #73 TCR, the sun room :D The photos I used were taken this summer at our yearly family gathering at our summer cabin, a true family fun day! Everyone plays and competes in all kinds of odd and funny competitions. The biggest trophies do not necessary produce the biggest smiles or greatest laughters. This year our team "Team Orange" only won two trophies, two TINY ones. and it was my MIL and FIL who won them for extaordinary "skills" or style. :Þ I used TCR provided sketch for this lo. An unusual sketch and a little challenging to work with.


My summer vacation is over, I started working this week again. We had a great summer, I hope you all did too! :D

Frost Rose


I'm not sure if that is the correct term in english for the snowflakes, but in Iceland we call these beautiful snowflake forms frostroses. I did this layout for a purple challenge and ladies, did I need to dig deep into my stash for some purple things. I love purple, but somehow I don't have lots of stuff in that color. I used my long overdue prima paintables and painted them with Tim Holtz distress inks. MS punches and a few flowers and blings and voila.  Thank you so much for looking. 

a little detail :D

I am so lucky to be a guest designer for a local scrapstore Skrappoggaman . They have all the latest and coolest stuff in their online store. Fabulous stuff I tell you!  Their latest brand is the PION design. oh my goodness it is so beautiful and I got to play with it! YAY!!!! So here is what I came up with using these gorgeous papers, lots of prima goodies and few other splendrous things! :D Thank you for looking!

oh and the photo, my dear daughter on her day of confirmation. I LOVE that photo of her!

I love messing with my inks


This is a layout of my dd too busy texting her friend to have me take a single decent photo of her at one of the most scenic places in Iceland, Jökulsárlón - a glacier lagoon.

First I used my Tim Holtz inks and made a good mess on white cardstock. Then I decided to cut up the photo. While I was placing the mosaic photo I discovered the background working with me. So I carefully placed them with consideration of the ink splatters. Neat huh! well... can I tell you a secret.... the reason I ripped up the paper was because there was a fault in the misting I needed to hide :Þ Sometimes things just happen by accident. I love that I am learning to loosen up a bit. :D

Thank you for looking, and I would love a comment if you have one :D

Second thoughts


Sometimes I have second thoughts about layouts I am making. Usually I don't do much about it if I am overall happy with the page. This time I had serious doubts about the photo. I took some guts to rip up that cute photo, but I think it payed off. I like the new version even more :D

Scrapbooking again



I have been neglecting this blog for the past months. I´ve been to the carribbean and back, so much fun. Now I am on my usual summer break untill the end of August. NICE...I know :D

Anyways, I used some of my free time to tidy up my scraproom and dust off my stash. These past two weeks I even went as far as doing a few layouts. The bottom two I found hiding in a pile of stuff, half finished, pulled them aside, gave them a little love and finished them. :D Most of the stuff I used is old stuff from my stash.

I also discovered that some of my rub-ons are drying up and getting ruined :( Does anyone know any trix to still use them?

Hope the summer is treating you well :D and I promise it won't be months until my next post.

making more flowers

Now, this flower making has become addictive :D They are super fun to make and not hard at all!
Here is a new lo with my dear daughter. Her 15th birthday is coming up in just over a week. I can't believe how fast time has flown. Seems like yesterday when this picture was taken. Reminds me of treasuring every moment. :D

Putting my new flowers to use

I couldn't resist putting my new flowers to use right away. Here are a couple of layouts from my daughters confirmation reception last year (it is a tradition up here). I used the gorgeous papers from Webster's pages for both of them.

My dad made the two magnificent cakes. :Þ and we did all the decorations and food ourselves.
