Layout with masking.....

The 1. of August challenge over at The Studio Challenge is:

Masking! Find something creative from around your home to use as a mask for misting, inking or painting on your layout.

This is my entry.

I cut out some butterflies printed on a big paperbag and used as masks. Afterwards I misted and painted to create the pattern.

Thanks for stopping by......

One more layout today :-D

Here you have our lovely dog, Caesar.

He has cut his paw on a piece of glass someone had thrown in the forrest. It hurts and he is rather depressed on the photos :-D

TG everything is OK now :-D

I used the Stuck?! Bonussketch no. 1.

Now it is autumn in Denmark.....

Now it is September, and it is the first autumn month in Denmark. Funny to read the Australian blogs telling about spring ;-D

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. I love all the beautiful colours and the special smell when you go out into the garden in the early morning and so on :-D

1. September also means a new Stuck?! Sketches release and here it comes:

The sketch is great and so easy to work with, so why not give it at try?

Here is my take on the sketch.

Here is a close-up, - have you noticed the little bag of spices ? ;-D

I have made a travel layout from Tunesia. I love the special Tunesian spices and a younger and slimmer me ;-D has just bought a lot of delicious spices from this little funny spiceseller. As soon as he saw my DH was going to take some photos he turned around and gave me a big hug. I'm not sure wheater he was happy for selling a lot of spices or a funny kind of actor, actually I just think he was a wonderful, kind person making fun. I just love this photo. I have the feeling of smelling the spices when I look at it ;-D

Materials: I used papers from the BasicGrey line Marocco, letters from the same line and thickers (Honey), journaling spot from Fancy Pants, flowers from Prima, the butterflies are made with a Martha Stewart punch, Zig Writer - blue, twine for the stitched border, beads, buttons and a brad from a local craft store.

The beautiful corner/Det smukke hjørne

Are you enjoying the lovely Sunday? I am :-D Right now I'm visiting a little idyllic island called Fanø, and the weather is fantastic, almost too good to be working at a computer, but I'm sure you know how it is when you love to scrap.... LOL

Well, it is the 15th of August and it is time for showing my Stuck?! sketch layout. I love the sketch, and it was so easy to work with :-D

I used the sketch for a travel layout from France. The photo is from Eguisheim in Elsass, France, and the corner is the most photographed place in the little village. Eguisheim is the most wonderful place in the northeastern part of France, and I just love it. I'm sure I will go back there some day :-D

I used a Danish paper line Pink Vintage from Riddersholm design. I really think you should check out the beautiful papers Connie designs.

Along the beach.../Langs stranden....

I've decided to make some layouts from a wonderful vacation in Tunesia many years ago. The photos are taken long before the digital cameras were someting everyone owned, and they are not of the very best quality, but they reminds me of one of the most wonderful vacations we have had.

Most of the time we stayed in Sousse, and we enjoyed the beach SO much. One of the first days during our stay in Sousse we walked along the beach to the city where we bought a trip down to the Sahara desert some days later, a trip that turned out to be FANTASTIC.....

Here you have a close-up

... and another close-up

I hope you like the little glimpse of the Tunesian summer :-D

Hugs,
Kirsten
