LESSology Oktober #52 Beachfront Property

Hi there every one :)

It is October 7th and It is my turn to have the Blogpost
over at LESSology.
Our October Challenge #52 is called Beachfront Property and it is
to incorporate elements associated with A Beach onto you project
together wit at least one upcycled item.

My upcycled items this time, are the sea shells I picked up from
our local beach  this summer.
 Yes... we do have beaches in Norway ;) 
but we didn't have a propper  summer this year. 
There are 2 small sandy ones( nothin like Cornwall or Florida lol )
only 5 min drive from where I live, so lots of sea shells to choose from.
One of them I can see from my bedroom window, but this year it
has been far too cold ( or at least for me) to jump in

 I love this paper as it has wood panel pattern with this seagull on it,
and I tried to fit it to the fram for the seagul to stick out (or in ;)
 " resting" on the side as part of the embellishment .

some close ups of the little nautical metall charms ....

....and a few more... these ones was given to me from scrapbooking
friends  when I was at a lockal weekend crop, not having all the little
bits and bobs I needed for it, when I started working on it

I decorated the inside too

adding more little "Beachfront Properties"

sorry about the Norwegian txt, but it is a typical Norwegian

expression and it says: 

Magic you find in the little everyday moments

Over the next couple of days 2 more DT members

 here at LESSology

are hosting some more Beachfront inspirations.

Please stop by and give them some love :)

Thanks for stopping by today 

and taking time to leave behind a comment

ARTastic July 2015 Water or Liquids "Rainy Day" Shadow-box card

Hello everyone, and
Happy Rainy-Scrappy Day
What a lovely summer weather to stay inside for papercrafting lol
I used the opportunity to make a shadow-box card  for
the ARTastic  CT in July, where the challenge
CRITERIA is to use water (liquid) in some way on your page 
(spray ink, paint, watercolours etc

This year It has been a rather miserable spring and early summer 
here in Norway , with lots if rain and low temperature,
 so this month's challenge picture was perfect for me ;)
I have made a box card with "a rainy day" stamp. 
I made my own pattern paper using stamps and stencils with 
 Distress ink and stain,  Dylusion spray ink, Glimmer Mist,
  acrylic paint and water with a spray mist.
 Every layer was dried well before adding the next one.
Now it is your turn to have some fun with wet medias.
 Can't wait to see what you want to share with us :)

The making of my box-card was inspired by the
this fantstic watercolour picure below

made by Shirley Charlton (aka Shirlroma)  

with  her Umbrellas/wet street

Here are some close ups of the front..

The inside was stamped with a woodgrain pattern stamp

A pannel was added for a sentiment

and this fab umbrella has been waiting in my
 chip/wood-veneer board stash to be used on a wet/rainy day
paper project, and finally it's turn has come lol...
and it wont be long before it's "siblings" ;) will find
"a new home" as well with this winther weater we have.

Thanks for stoping by today, and if you pop over to
ARTastic
you can see our Mid month reveal.

Keep scrapping....stay Happy....in the rain ;)
