My blog has been sleeping for the past two years...

 ... but now I am planning to wake it up and post my creative work again:)

Here is my take on the second October challenge from @csi_colorstoriesinspiration. Love to scrap Halloween photos and create layouts with autumn colours. 

Gjestedesigner hos Scrappegarasjen

Det er så hyggeleg å få vera gjestedesigner hos Scrappegarasjen no i desember. Temaet er pakkelappar, og det er jo ein koseleg ettermiddagssyssel. I år skal me (kanskje) feira med storfamilie frå fjern og nær, store og små, og då er det spesielt gøy å dekorera lappane med bokstavar, så kan alle vera med å gjetta kven gåva er til før ein les namnet på baksida. I tillegg synest eg dette alfabetet er ganske tøft, då ein kan kombinera ulike papir i ein bokstav. 

Utstyr som er brukt i dette prosjektet:

QuicKutz University alfabet dies

Sizzix Framelits tag dies

Kort & Godt taldies

Alexandra Renke City at Night dies

Kartong: kvit, kraft og svart 

Vellum

Kvitt embossingpulver

Heating tool

Div. stempelputer 

Stempel frå bl.a. Kort & Godt og Marianne Design

Div. hyssing og band, nytt og brukt

Dina Wakley white glossy acrylic spray 

Eg likar å pynta pakkelappane med litt ulike motiv, og brukar ofte restar frå tidlegare prosjekt som eg har samla i ulike esker. Det kan til dømes vera små vintervottar, huer, snøkrystallar, kransar, hus eller tal. Det er fint å setja eit personleg preg på lappane, alt etter kven som er mottakar.

Dei fleste av pakkelappane består av to eller tre tags. Då får ein sjansen til å pynta litt ekstra. Eg har valt talet 24 på dei fleste, og i tillegg laga ei lita vinterscene med dei små husa og bilane til Alexandra Renke. Med snøsprayen på kartongen i bakgrunnen blir det ekstra stemningsfullt.

    

Takk for denne gongen, og god førjulstid:)!

CSI Case File No 263: Pumpkin Carving

               

I love fall colours, and because we carve pumpkins every year, I have lots of photos to match the color scheme. I therfore made two layouts inspired by the scene, and chose to document something about autumn in 2005 and 2006. The clues that I used are: leaves, apple, pumpkins (are they fruit?) numbers, animal (fox), something woven and lace on the tags.

Look at this awesome scene and be inspired by the design team and  CSI Case File No 263 over at the CSI challenge blog.  I loved it:-)

 

                               

Deadline: October 31st.

CSI Case File No. 262: Butterfly Waltz by Brian Crain

The second case file of this month over at CSI is perfect if you want to make a page about your pet. If you don´t have one, you could always go for one of the other options in "testimony", or just be inspired by colours or "the scene". Here it is:

My DT page is about a Saturday in August, when my teenagers played a lovely piece called Butterfly Waltz on piano and soprano saxophone in church for their older brother at his wedding day. I picked the word "happy" from the testimony, and used the following clues: stripes, brads, dots, insects/butterflies, leaves, flower, rhinestones swirl, hearts and music-themes elements.

CSI Case File No. 261: Dance Explosion

While I was relaxing on holiday, my daughter and her friend went to summer classes in ballet, hiphop and modern dances. So for testimony I chose to document this. On the photo we are in the centre of Oslo, looking for the dance school. The evidence I used was solid white background, clip, diagonal stripes and a number.
I really loved the colour combination of the challenge, and intended to use all of them, but it became a challenge with my limited holiday kit:-)

You can find the challenge here:-)

It lasts all month and closes on the 30th of September.

Case File No. 260: Cute

 Inspired by the girls and their floral dresses in this challenge, I made a page of our Sweedish summer girl Edith. She was so cute in her mum’s t-shirt and sun hat walking from the beach. 

For evidence I used solid white background, floral pattern, stripes, people embellishment, travel-themed elements, flowers, watercolour, ribbon and twine.

Case File No. 260 is found here:-)

Case File No 259: Surfing in Sweden

The first August case file from CSI has a colour combination that I just love. Perfect for my surfing page, which I made on holiday with only a few tools;-). Here is the challenge:

And here is my layout. 

For testimony I chose to document our children trying some kind of surfing on holiday in Sweden. The evidence are solid white background, architectural elements, transportation stickers and triangles.

While on vacation, I planned to do some scrapping, and packed a few necessities that unfortunately was forgotten in my husband´s car as he was heading home before me. I then "had to" buy a few new supplies, and one of my new favourite things is this alphabet maker from We R Memory keepers. I used it on all the three layouts I made.
