Pixels and Paper September 2015. A Flower Meadow, the best place to rest...

Hi there and Happy Tuesday :)

It has turned  from summer to Autumn on the calendar, and we 

only had a few warm and sunny days this summer and almost 

all of those day was towards the end of August... 

...But now over to something more cheerful, 

our  Pixels and Paper September challenge...

This is my page with a photo of my son, resting in a flower meadow

after a mountain walk in the Swiss Alps of Fisch,

 and it was warm and glorious day. 

This is our inspiration picture  for September,
and it has the same colours of the flowers as the flowers
in the meadow my son took a rest in (it couldn't
get more perfect than that for finding a photo
to fit this  challenge inspiration)

On these close ups you can see the small yellow
and purple flowers on the photo of the meadow,
 surrounding my grumpy son, who had
enough of walking that day....

 The papers was perfect too as they had imges of
Swiss stamps

Even if it is Spring or Autumn where you live, let your self get
inspired by these glorious flowers on the inspiration picture,
and join us in our September challenge at Pixels and Paper
Bye for now, and thank you for stopping by my blog today :)

Pixels and Paper August 2015, Bright and FUN in the Snow

Hi there and thanks for stopping by my blog :)
Today I'm sharing a LO made for
Pixels and Paper in August,
and it was such a "cool"  inspiration picture
this month, in every way, if you see what I mean ;)
 so this is how I got inspired

 I used some photos of my daughter from when we went 
skiing in Switzerland 2012. 
She was wearing a bright multi coloured ski jacket, 
just like the bright colours on the umbrella, so this was perfect 
for this challenge
Bring out your bright coloured papers, colours,inks,
stamps and bling and join in on our Bright challenge this month :)
....

please pop over to Pixels and Paper :)

Wish you a Happy scrappy weekend :)

to Fløyen wher you get the most amazing view over the city

Pixels and Paper challenge blog.

Inspired by this  "high-flying bike in the air" photo below

It it such a cool inspiration picture this month so 
I wanted to make a masculine card inspired by the bike. 
 I have had this vintage chipboard bike for quite 
some time and this was the perfect moment to use it.

Here are some close ups as well, and this picture shows
some of the swirly flowers I make my self.
(if you pop in to visit ARTastic challenge blog April 8th

It looks rather dark here, but there is a tiny little green
"Happy Birthday" confetti hiding under some og the gauze.

Pixels & Paper in March 2015

Hi there ....It is Spring time in Norway...

or at least that what is says on the calendar lol

Looking outside the window and there is no

Spring in the air out there...

..... but over at Pixels and Paper there is something

fun and colourful "in the air"

A truely awesome and beautiful inspiration picture

for the Challenge in March

here is how I got inspired....

...by this  fab picture below

 It was the colours that caught my eyes, and all the "stuff"
inside the suitcase.

So I used a photo of the kids sitting inside the  egg chairs when
enjoyingsome delicious smoothies
at an America styled ( from the 60/70)
 Icecream Soda bar, twirling around and having fun
listening to some "oldies"

Hope to see how you got inspired bt this inspiration picture,
and for some more inspiration , why not pop over to
Pixels and Paper and see what the rest of the team has come up with

Thank you so much for stopping by :)

Travel at Pixels & Paper in Febuary 2015

hi there....

did you make it through January finishing off all the little project 

you had started and had the urge to complete? 

...for me I just feel there isn't enough hours in a day and definitely

not enough days in a week....

  

but if you are looking for some fun and creative with

 some new holiday photos perhaps, on or of the page,

digi, altered or card, 

 Pixels and Papers has a new challenge up on their blog.

Why not pop over for a peek...

Here is my page...

...inspired by the picture below

and for me it was the travel papers and
 the shape of the Eiffel tower that got me
 thinking of the photos from Zermatt
with Matterhorn mountain in the background....

....with kind of the same shape as the Eiffel Tower...

the three resin figures I bought, when visiting  Gletsch
 by the Rohne glacier, are typical swiss icons
like the mountain goat, "the Ibiz" above

the Edelweiss...

...and the cow as symbol for chees and chocolate
finally came in handy as embellishment on a "Swiss page"

Thanks for taking time to stop by and leaving a comment

Bye for now,  HUGS  x
