Scrap the Boys

Jeg har været næsten 2 uger om at lave dette layout. Har bare ikke haft tid til at sidde med min hobby - har sååååå travlt på jobbet, at jeg er ved at br.... mig! .. Nå - det gider vi ikke tale om.
Mit layout af lavet til Scrap the Boys udfordring i denne måned.

It has taken me about 2 weeks to finish this layout. I'm so very busy at my job - way too busy!! But there's nothing I can do about it. Here's my layout. I've used the challenge over at Scrap the Boys.

You need to create a layout featuring your boy(s) helping others, you also need to use paint on your layout!

 I've used blue acrylicpaint (Heidi Swapp) for the bubbles. 

Thickers for the title (foil letter stickers), some twine and tape (the measure is tape).

Stars and the heart are buttons by Prima. 

Det var alt fra mig. Rigtig god weekend ..... og næste uge bliver det ROSKILDE FESTIVAL!! Glæder mig som altid!!

Sketches in Thyme #81

Skitserne ovre hos Sketches in Thyme er rigtig gode, synes jeg. Og i går fik jeg lavet endnu et bidrag til en af deres skitseudfordringer.
The sketches over at Sketches in Thyme is very good. Yesterday I did a layout using their sketch #81.

Et fødselsdagslayout med et morgenbillede fra Emil's 10 års fødselsdag i 2007. Jeg husker tydeligt hvor glad han var - og synes bestemt det var noget stort at have sin første runde fødselsdag. Vi gjorde lidt ekstra ud af den og inviterede lidt flere end vi plejer til alm. fødselsdage - og så var der eller 10 års fest. :)
Det meste af papiret og pynten er fra Echo Park "Sweet Day" serien. 

A birthday layout. Oldest son's 10th birthday back in 2007. He was so happy and thougt it was a pretty big day. We invited a lot of guests and had a great party for him. :)
Most of the papers and embellishments are Echo Park "Sweet Day" collection.

Skitsen ser sådan her ud. .... Here's the sketch.

 A couple of details.

Så skal Danmark spille mod Tyskland i dag .... uhhhhh. Mon de klarer den?? Tyskerne er jo gode..... men vi har jo vist før, at vi kan overraske. Spændende i hvert fald. Vi skal ud til min bror og se kampen - det bliver hyggeligt. Så skal der spises pølser og brød - en rigtig fodbold menu. :)

Enjoy your Sunday everybody.

Sketches in Thyme

Jeg har fået scrappet et layout i dag. Jeg har brugt skitse nr. 80 ovre hos Sketches in Thyme. En god skitse, som gør at man kan bruge flere billeder på sit layout - og det er noget jeg elsker! :) Billederne er taget i påsken 2011 - der havde vi nemlig super fint vejr!

I did this layout today. I've used sketch #80 from Sketches in Thyme. I love the sketch has room for more than just one photo. :) The photos are taken in Easter 2011 - we had a lovely Spring weather.

 Baggrundsarket fra My Mind's Eye er Übercool!! Så flotte farver!! Jeg har klippet lidt hexagon'er ud fra et mønsterark samt brugt lidt twine.
The paper from My Mind's Eye is so cool - love the colors! I've cut off some hexagons from af patterned paper and used some twine. 

 The sketch!

Thickers fra American Crafts. De hedder "Fellow" og er købt på SAM.
The Thickers is called "Fellow"! - I love that font!

Keep calm....

Jeg er faldet over endnu en udfordringsblog, som ser rigtig god ud. Den hedder "Scrap Africa" og er en sydafrikansk udfordringsblog. De laver rigtig flotte layouts derovre - og da jeg så deres "Keep Calm" udfordring og fik lyst til at lege med. :)

I've found one more challenge blog which I think looks very good and interesting. It's called "Scrap Africa" and is a South African challenge blog. The DT's over there makes beautiful layouts. And when I saw the "Keep Calm" challenge I just had to play along. :)

Her er udfordringen/Here's the challenge:

You will need to create any scrap project (a layout, a card or an altered object) with a phrase on it "Keep Calm and..." - the end of the phrase is up to you. Be funny, be creative, be thoughtful - whatever the moodyou are in, as long as you spread the calmness around :-)))

If you will decide to create a poster featuring a phrase, make sure you think of something innovative and interesting: 

It must not be just plain letters on the plain background!

 

 

Og her er mit layout/here's my take on the challenge:

Jeg valgte at scrappe om cupcakes.
I chose to do a page about cupcakes. 

 

 I think my misting went a bit off..... I don't quite like how that turned out. But that's what happens. ...

Jeg håber i alle får en GOD weekend.

Enjoy the weekend everybody!

More Challenge Layouts

Jeg er rigtigt i scrappehumør. Det kører bare - får produceret en del. Og at jeg har en fridag i dag gør det bestemt kun bedre ... der bliver scrappet her i mit lille kontor. :)
Første layout er lavet til Let's Capture These Sketches, sketch #135. Jeg fandt et skønt billede fra julen 2007 og gik så i gang.

I'm in a wonderful scrappy mood. I create a lot these days and that's a great feeling. Today I have a day off work - so I'm in my scrappy room creating lots of layouts. :) 
First layout is based on the sketch #135, Capture These Sketches. I found an older photo from Christmas 2007 with my children and their cousin. 

 I've used a text stamp behind the photo. I've used a book page, a Christmas tag, Christmas embellishments, some buttons and pearls.

 A little close-up...

****************************************************

Næste layout er lavet efter skitse #211 ovre hos Creative Scrappers. Igen brugte jeg et lidt ældre billede. Det er L og jeg i 2009, som sidder og nyder ferien i Rüdesheim.

Next layout is based on sketch #211, Creative Scrappers. Again I've used an older photo. This time of my DH and I, when we were in Rüdesheim, Germany in the Summer of 2009.

 Baggrundsarket er det cool "Hooked on Fishing" fra The Paperloft. Jeg fik brugt noget gammel Sassafras Lass - jeg klippede motiverne ud af et mønsterark. Jeg bruge en kageserviet og lidt forskellige runde journaling tags.

The background paper is the cool "Hooked on Fishing" by The Paperloft. I've used some old Sassafras Lass - the items are cutt off a patterned paper. I've used a doily and someJillibean journaling tags

 A close-up. I stille love the colorful Sassafras Lass. :)

 God fridag til alle jer der har det i dag. Og i det hele taget god Grundlovsdag.
I'll be back soon!

ScrapFIT workout #69

Hejsa og rigtig god lørdag til jer alle.
Her kommer mit bidrag til en cool skitse ovre hos ScrapFIT (#69). Jeg ville så gerne arbejde med 3 billeder, som jeg har af Emil, som står og poserer i sit nye konfirmationstøj. Billederne af ham er taget i marts måned - altså FØR konfirmationen. Han insisterede selv på at vi skulle ud ved søen, som ligger foran vores hus, for at tage disse billeder :) søøøøøøøøøøøøød dreng :)

Hello and happy Saturday to you all. 
Here's my take on a very GREAT sketch at ScrapFIT: Workout #69. I wanted so much to use some photos I took of oldest son in his new clothes, bought for his confirmation last month. The pictures is taken i March - a few days before his big day. He insisted on standing by the little lake, which is right in front of our house. He's such a good boy -  he knows what his mom likes for a great photo scene! :)

 Jeg har brugt et fedt ark fra My Mind's Eye "Follow your Heart" by Rhonna Farrer.  Jeg bar brugt lidt resteark, klippet halve hexagon'er ud af et mønsterark, brugt lidt twine, MS sommerfuglepunch, brads købt i Panduro - Vibeke Spigseth og tags.

I've used a very cool patterned paper for the back ground. It's My Mind's Eye "Follow your Heart" by Rhonna Farrer. Then I've used some scraps, cut some half hexagons off a patterned paper, I've used some twine, MS butterfly punch, brads by Vibeke Spigseth, tags and October Afternoon stickers for the title.

 Den rigtigt flotte skitse/the great sketch. 
 

 I've used an ordinary tag for the journaling as I love the colors in them. :) I think I've found a new passion: Twine. I think it's a great product with many opportunities.

Another close-up. Love the brad!!

Senere i dag tager vi i biffen - vi skal se Men in Black III. Glæder mig! :)
Later today we'll go to the movies to see MIB III. Looking very much forward to that! I love Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith - they are GREAT together! :)
