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 :)
....

To see what the other team members have come up with,
please pop over to Pixels and Paper :)

Wish you a Happy scrappy weekend :)

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

LGS December Special, week 5 MonoChromatic

Happy last Monday of 2014

I hope you papercrafting  ladies (and gents?) from all around the
world have had a nice time during the holidays :)

It is only a few times a year we have 5 Mondays in a month,

and December is one of them, so over at Let's Get Sketchy

we are doing Monochromatic as our theme for week 5.

I went for all white....using a B&W photo of my son taken in
the Swiss mountain of Fischeralp, at last year October holiday.

...but as you can see white comes in different shade of blue tones
and yellow tones
As it is winter here in Norway
 we don't get propper day light in December, and I took
these photos of my page out in the snow with -8 degrees Celsius

...here are some close ups

( you can see some of the snow on the veranda under my page ;)

There are some really aweseome  monochromatic page
to see this week , made by the talented
LGS ladies.

Thanks for following My  blog this year and welcome back
in 2015
Happy New Year

Flairbuttons on a Christmas LO

Hello there from far and away...

If you like using falir buttons on your LOs or other paper project

this is the challenge for you.

Over at the Norwegian Blog and on line store

ScrappeGarasjen it is all about using Flair Buttons

on your project

I am also submitting my page to
Cheris This-Memories for life
Christmas Cheers Challenge #1 Christmas Card or LO
using their Mood board or Picturecollage for
inspiration ( bottom left and right picture)
There will be a total of 4 Christmas Challenges
throughout November and December

Here is my Christmas LO using Flair buttons

(you can find them in the ScrappeGarasjen online store)

I have a few more photos og my niece for her album, so this LO 

was made for her. I have 4 more Christmas photos of her  to make

a page (or 2) so nearly finished. I started with one album, which

became 2 but now I am in the 3rd... but what can you expect

when using flowers and bling which needs space like

 a block of flats ....I must have been brainless thinking I could
get them all into one lol.....

...anyway here are some more closies

 I just love this Christmas tree button

and the one below which says

 Merry Chridtmas

in Norwegian

Happy Scrappy week every one

Double Up challenge reveal in June with Distressing at ARTastic and Rainy Day at Pixels and paper

Hello every one :) 

Today I have a double DT challeng reveal.

One for ARTastic and

 one for Pixels and Paper

I am  normaly on the Team B for ARTastic which is posted 

on the blog the 15th every month, but now in June I have swaped 

over to team A and has the same reveal date as Pixels and paper

on  the 1st, but as it is the same blog ownwer I can do a

"double"  blog post with some advert for both blogs ;)

This first one is my page for ARTastic where the criteria

this month is DISTRESSING

Inspired by this fun picture "The Jam Session" by Max Mannix

It was the feeling of outdoor activity that inspired me to make
this page with holiday photos for my niece's album.
 I loved the colours on the inspiration picture so I tried to use
the same on the LO and did both paper distressing,
with a distressing tool,
 and colour distressing on the paper edges.

A few close ups...

a hidden journaling tag

If you want to see some more, why not pop over to
 ARTastic
 to see what the rest of  the team has created.

This next LO is for 
Pixels and Paper

Keeping it in Red Black and White
as the inspiration picture

Inspired by this amazing picture

some closies...

The fantastic "Rainy day" inspiration picture with bright red,

black and white made me think of a holiday in Cornwall in June 2012.
It was raining everyday the whole week
 but Tirill still wanted to go surfing...
...and with her wet suit on it is a perfect colour match
to the challenge picture :)

The sea shell are from the beach in St.Ives.
 Every beach where Tirill and I have collecte shells and stones,
we have labeled them in a sorting box
so we later know which place they come from,
to  use on the right scrapbooking page.

Both the little wooden red gears and flair button

 are from St.Ives too

The rainy-day button I bought at the TATE Art Museum

on Port Meor Beach in St.Ives

and the gears are from a local craft-jewlery-bead store

on the little town beach, so it was perfect to use as

embellishments  on this LO

So if you like a different inspiration this is your challenge.

At Pixels and Paper you can creat DIGITALLY

 or with any paper project you like.

Just let us know how the picture of the month

inspired you :)

Thanks for hangin' in there through this loooog blog post,

and if you leave a message it really means alot to me :)

Happy scrappy day!!!



"Welcome to April"at Pixels and Paper

Easter is in April this year and here up north Spring is in the air....

...and I love to bring out my bright colours to play with makeing my

LOs or of the page "stuff"

Over at Pixels and Paper it is all about "Welcome to April"

and here is what the challenge says :

Yet this photograph isn't all about Easter, it's about fashion from another era, it's about being outside on a cool day. It's about green, manicured lawns and orderly gardens. It's about a neighbourhood of houses and middle class families. It's about having sisters (siblings) and spending time with them.

What is this photograph about to you?
 

Here is my interpetation of the challenge picture

Inspired by this cute photo which is the challange

ispiration picture

 

The April "Easter" inspiration picture got me to look for these photos from Easter 2012, when on holiday in Lax in Wallis/Valais in Switzerland. Early Easter morning Tirill had opened her Easter "bunny" egg, munching it and watching kids TV. When she spotted me, she ran outside onto the veranda to show me the fantastic weather we woke up to. Happy Easter everyone :)

 

Below are some closies

 

 What do you think about my hand made crochet chicken

as embellishment?

 

 

 



 

You can find some more Easter inspiration over at

Scraphaugen and my

"Gult er kult" ("Cool with Yellow")  my first blogpost  today,

where I have translated the challenge into English.

 

Thanks for all your support, visiting my blog and leaving a trace.

It means the world to me

 

Happy Scrappy Easter every one
