Christmas wishes in December at ARTastic

I think my Christmas wish this year is to have more time

to do more fun "stuff" and have more time to do

my things.....which ofcourse is all about scrapbooking.

Not just to be creative but  to do some more blog hopping and

time to leave comments, inspiration search,

and more time to enter challenges....

 

At ARTastic

 We have a Wordle for you

The idea this month is to let a word or words inspire you to

create your page.  You don't have to use the actual word on your project

 (unless you want to) but please let us know in your post which word(s)

you used as inspiration and why.

 

The wordle you can choose from



The inspiration words I used are Snow, Winter, Children, Present and Toy.

The photo is of my nephew driving in his new Christmas present,

an electric car, on Christmas day in the snow.

There was no way he was going to wait for the snow to disappear

before he tried it.....

 

 masculine papers from Tim Holtz is great to use for

making boys pages

 

It is still 3 weeks until Christmas, so that should give you some

time between now and then to prepare for the big day.

If you want to join in on our challenge it is open until January 5th,

so that gives you an opportunitu to use the Christmas photos

and pick some fun words from the wordle.

 

Just in case you mist it,

There is a great Christmas photo inspiration

ongoing at

Pixels and Papers too, until January 5th

 

So nice of you to pop in again today, during these busy

December days, I realy do appreciate it :)

Hi there every one!

I'm bloging from Norway this week as I Arrived earlier today. 

It's my Nephwes confirmation on Thursday so I

 need to speed up to finish my last LOs for his album

colour combo and sketch

This is the Sketch and it is from

That's Just so Cute

She's so cute 17

Sketch made by

Lene Neby

and what is better than the colours of the

Rainbow

A few close ups

I sprayed a stencil with Dylusions to create the

rainbow colours, used the negative on white bg
 and added silver Glimmermist for shine.

 Splodges are made by using a

 stencil with silver ink

A bit of mesh for texture and I

liked the stars on the sketch so I added a few

as emellishments

Veckans Skiss #17

Hi  there...

A last minute post her from me to enter

Veckans Skiss # 17

I had 3 photos of my nephew to make a LO for 

his album, and I liked the sketch so with that as an

inspiration I made this page also using the heat list,

from a swim meet in Berlin,

as a background to go with the photos

 Below is the sketch
made by Jennie

I had an old stripy paper to simulate the pool

Made the bg with Dylusion sprays and stencil

added some washi tapes and chippies too

 staples for the photos and paper clips for fun ;)

Here are a few close ups

Happy Scrap every one

Små Øyeblikk (Precious Moments)

yippi  the sun is shining :)

It's been a long week, a sore throat ended with 

tonsillitis and antibiotics. Not a lot of energy coming 

home from work to sit down and do what I love most

SCRAPPING
So I do apologize for not spending enough  time visiting
all your ladies wonderful blogs over the last couple of days

Anyway, I have made 1 LO for week 4 over at

Let's Get Sketchy

here it is

The sketch was made by Bev Code 

Only a week to go before I'm off to Norway for a week.

It is my nephew's confirmation and I'm still making LOs

for his album. So the photos here are of him, (as so many before )

I have a few more pages to make, 

but the worst will be to pack them and bring 

them with me, so I guess they will end up as my hand luggage

Here are a few close ups

BG paper is Fancy Pants on green bazzill with some splodges

of mist and white marker stitches.

All other papers including all the  cut out arrows are 

 EP Note to Self.

 A few metal bits and bobs. 

Numbers are  made with stencil and modeling paste

The tag  here can be pulled out, and is for my sister to write on

Wish you all a FUN and healthy weekend :)

Thanks for poppin' in and leaving a comment

the title and journalling tag, which I have left open for my 

sister to write on her self

A few close ups

outlined on  2 small wooden fish and added small bobbles

 including on the  the fish paper too

 added some barbed wire with white pen

Fish and bg papers are AC Campy Trail, I used a mask on some

Alison Kreft wood board paper. Tags from K&C

Finished of with strips of washitape TH film strip,and

March week 4 challenge, Let's get Sketchy

Happy Easter Every one

It will be a short post today as time is ticking to join this

challenge over at Let's get Sketchy There is both a sketch

to follow and  to use the colour combo  in week 4

Here is my take on it

and below is the sketch made by 

Design Team member and sketch artist Brenshevia

 and here are the colours to use

I have only got 5 weeks to finish my nephew's album

so this is another one made for him

 I used one photo +  my nephew's old passport as the other one

to follow the sketch

The photo was taken at the air port, so lots of people in the 

background which i tried to hide with a doily from Zurich

bakery and flowers + more

 Little swiss embellishments like the cow and an Ibiz

 + hat on passport photo, is good to have for LOs like this

Enjoy your Easter Eggs tomorrow
