More christmas in october..

I was looking around for some fun X-mas projects when I came across this beautiful banner... I just couldn't imagine my christmas without it!!

So with full credit to the spilling the beenz blog

Here's my (very look-a-like) version!









There's inking (lots of it), stamping, embossing, hand stitching...and loads of time looking for images on the net!

Thanks for looking!

I can't seem to put my baby away....

Ok...I'm finding it hard to put the DDA away 'till december 1st... So I'm still adding here and there...
I want to be able to just grap my pics..write my jourmaling and be done with it when december comes..

So here's the inside of my outer page..



Thanks for all the sweet comments I've received from here and the forums! It's much appreciated!

just for fun..

I'm working on my DDA and wanted to share my desk (ahum) with you...

Eventhough it looks like a tornado hit my room..I still know where everything is and it seems to help me scrap better... Whenever I clean up ( usualy after I finish a lay out or project)I always have a problem starting up again...untill my room looks like the huge mess which it is now!



Almost finished with my basic pages for the DDA 1 through 31 st...

Thanks for looking..

Fa la la la la...

I think that any season is the season to get Jolly....

I'm all x-massed up already... I decided that this year I wanted to make a DDA (december daily album) I came across a few of them last year, but it was too late to get started...

So this year I'm early! It's so much fun too... I will try to post the Ali Edwards link, because it's totaly her idea..not mine at all... (the labour is though!)







My supplies (although the pile got bigger as I'm getting along!) en first inside page...

down by the river

I've had these papers for ever !! I finally put them to (good) use..

This picture was taken in France during our summer vacation. The boys went fishing in this little streaming river.. (they caught NO fish)..

Have a great rest of the week!

Lay out and workshop sneak peak

I've been comming back in to the swing of things...

My oldest ds had just lost his front tooth and wouldn't let me take a "normal" picture of him, showing his gap... I tried to stay masculine in this lay out, but I couldn't resist using flowers and a butterfly.























Anne and I also made a new workshop for Scrapangels, it's a appointmentbook for 2010.
Got to love those Kaisercraft papers!

So here's a sneakpeak..




Thanks for looking!

Have a great day..

It's been a long while..again

And there it was...summer! We had such lovely weather here that I haven't scrapped all summer...nothing..nada..zip...

Then my friend Anne came with the wonderful news about her up comming wedding plans, and she asked me to make her a box for her envelope gifts ;).
I ended up stealing a birdhouse idea... My ds made one of wood last year as a school project, so I stole the meassurements and made it out of 3 mm cardboard..

Voila... here's the result...she's already seen it so no surprise there...







Thanks for looking and hopefully I'll have something to show you soon..

Back again..

Missed me?????

I've been so bussy the last month, that I actually didn't scrap at all for at least four weeks.. I didn't even feel like it....

I've been wanting to do a Beghunna sketch for a while now.. I just love her sketches, this is my take on her sketch.

I used the wonderful webster's pages for this lay out..also some items from Beate's price... Thanks so much for that wonderful price...




Thanks so much for looking!
