The Nook Reveals

Who wouldn't LOVE to win one of the fabulous kits from The Nook ? I made this layout with Cæsar - our wonderful dog - for The Nook sketch-challenge over at Creative Scrappers and now I hope I'm the lucky one to be picked ;-D

Cæsar

Cæsar loves his balls, and he thinks the only reason why people come to our house is to play with him ;-D When he is playing with his balls nobody would think he is 10 years old :-D

I used paper from October Afternoon, - it's one of my favorite brands at the moment, and of course I use some corrugate which also is one of my favorites right now. The black chipboard butterfly is made by one of my danish scrap-friends, Gurli from Orion Design . I decorated it with stickels dots.

Tomorrow is the 1. May and National Scrapbooking Day. I'm celebrating the day at a crop arranged by Iben in her shop Multiscrap and I'm sure I'll have a GREAT day tomorrow :-D

I wish all of you

a GREAT Scrapbooking Day tomorrow

Mission To Create # 14

I've made this layout with a picture of my son for a challenge over at Mission To Create. I love the challenges, - they makes you think outside the line :-D

The concepts chosen for this challenge were:
Use the word TIME in your title. Use a Black and White photo. Hybrid element on your page (this one I didn't manage). Pom pom trim and Doodle around your background paper. I used 4 of the concepts.

The picture of my son, Claus, is taken the day he started at the Pharmaceutical Faculty at the University of Copenhagen, he now has a little more than 2 years left of his education as a pharmacist.

I'm looking SO MUCH forward to the next week-end where we are going to celebrate his birthday, and he will be home for for a couple of days :-D

Hello grandma

I've had a long weekend and it has gone quickly. Friday I had the day off, so we drove up to the summerhouse already Thursday, when I had off from work.

During the weekend, we insulated one of the house ends, so now we are ready to put on the beautiful facade planks. However, it must wait for some time, we first want to insulate 2 small walls, so we can put on the planks in one operation. I'm looking forward til see the finished result, when we - in some time - ends up getting a antrazit gray house.

"Hello grandma, - does your clothes taste good?"

In between all the work I made a layout for the album with Caesar. The picture is the very last one of our beloved grandma. Here we visit her at the nursing home where she lived the last few years of her life. Ceasar had only been a member of our family for a few weeks, and of course he had to say hello to grandma, who really loved dogs :-D

Here is a close-up of the cluster

Now I'm getting ready for a new week at the hospital. Most of my collegues are away the next days, so it's gonna be a tough week.

Take care out there :-D

The First Spring Sun/Den første forårssol

A couple of weeks ago we spent some days in our holliday cottage in the northern part of Denmark. We took a walk along the beach even if it was cold and frosty, but if you could find a little sunny and sheltered spot it was wonderful.

I made this layout for a challenge over at Mission {to} Create. I think the challenges are great, and I really enjoy making layouts with their ideas. I didn't manage the woodgrain, but used the sketch, clouds, 6 red buttons and twine. So here is my entry :-D

Snydepakke (cheating gift - I hope that make sence in English ;-D )

My son, Claus, is a BIG fan of the Seattle music-scene, especially Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Last Christmas we, among other things, would give him a book about the Seattle music. The book didn't reach Denmark (from USA) before Christmas, so we gave him a book token instead. We didn't want to give it to him in an envolope, so we made a gift out of a kitchen roll and the book token. It was a big surprise with the book token wrapped that way, and we had a lot of fun that day ;-D

I used the cute BassicGrey series Eskimo Kisses for the layout. I hope you like it ;-D

Layout from the Convention

On the Convention last weekend I made this layout for one of the sketch challenges.

I love the Eskimo Kisses series from BasicGrey, so I've used the paper for this layout.

We took a lot of photos during the Christmas hollidays, that's why I've called the layout Paparazzi. We had so much fun, and it's really a Christmas I will remember in the future.

10th Danish Scrapbooking Convention

Last Saturday I went to the 10th Danish Scrapbooking Convention. We were 250 scrap-girlz from Denmark and Germany, as well as 10 Danish scrapshops, so we really had a great opportunity to spend a lot of money ;-D

When The Danish Scrapbooking Convention started some years ago, 50 scrappers joined the arrangement. On this Convention 9 of us had joined all 10 Conventions, so we were celebrated, got great presents, free tickets for the next Convention in October and so on, it was really great :-D

Here are the 9 hardcore scrap-girlz...
(I'm the one with the purple scarf)

A little glimpse from the Convention

Christiane Müller (designer at Prima Marketing) had two fanstatic workshops during the Convention, and I had one of her classes. It was great, she is SO inspiring and such a lovely person, and I love her sense of humour ;-D

Here Christiane demonstrates one of her techniques

I know a lot of scrapping girls from forums and from the Danish online magazine ScrapSisters, and one of the great things at Conventions is to meet people IRL. In Danish we say it's "hyggeligt" (pleasant) being together with your scrapfriends from the whole country, I think it's one of the best things at a Convention. - And of course the shopping... shopping....shopping ;-D

Here are 2 of my dear scrapfriends - Anne and Dorit.

I wonder what they are trying to find in their bags :-)

Next Convention is 1.-2. of October 2010, the time can only go too slowly..... ;-D
