I created this layout using the Crafty June Sketch.

The two wonderful girls on the photo is my daughter and little granddaughter on a day they payed us a visit :-D

I used some of my old Prima tape for the edges.

Sketches With a Twist

Just a short post to show the latest sketch from Sketches With A Twist and my take of it.

 

I chose to use hexagons for the sketch.

The photos are of Nicoline, at the time the photos were taken, she had just begun to say "hello" to the world when she was laying the stomach.   

 

The paper is left overs from an older Lily Bee series - Picket Fence. I think the series is very versatile. Actually I wish some Danish scrapshops would sell some more of the Lily Bee's series (30 x 30) with all the embellishments.

Here you have the sketch, thanks Janice for a good challenge ;-)

Sadly Janice is leaving our wonderful SWAT-team, so we  are looking for a new sketch designer. Jump over at the blog for further information. 

Due to a colleague's illness I now have 2 eveningshifts (Tuesday and Wednesday), so I hope I will manage to get some sleep, which I find rather difficult at the moment.

This weekend we celebrated my DH's birthday. Normally he is not very fond of getting celebrated, but after being a granddad he finds it okay. Funny how things can change when you become grandparents LOL

2 layouts......

Today I have 2 layouts to share with you. The first one the May layout for Sketches With A Twist.

The photos is of my little newborn grandchild. Her father took these cute photos of her mouth, ear, eye and hand.

I used this fabulous sketch created by Janice.

The next layout is created for Crafty Sketches and I used the May sketch.

Here you se my daughter and son during a Christmas celebration a couple of years ago.

This months sketch is created by me. You would make me very proud if you would create a layout and upload it on the Crafty Sketches blog, - so GO FOR IT ;-D

Claus.... LCTS

Hi everyone. Have you seen the new LCTS sketch? If not, well... here it is :-) 

Let's Capture These Sketches # 129

I used the sketch for a layout with a photo of my son, Claus. The photo is a couple of years old. He is studying at the Pharmaceutical Faculty and at the moment he is finishing the thesis in Uganda, Africa. I miss him very much, the internet and electricity are very unstable, but we are trying to Skype now and then.

He and some friends are playing in a band, so I think the guitars fits the layout very well.

Thanks for stopping by :-D

Crafty Sketches... a little late...

I've been out of town for some days, so I'm late presenting the April Crafty sketch. The April sketch is created by Kim Kendell and I really loved working with it. Here you have my interpretation of it.

The photos are from a daytrip to a beautiful little island called Samsø. Together with 4 scrapfriends I visited a scrapshop Hobbyboden and took time for some photoshoots. I used some papers and embellishments from Webster Pages which was in a monthly kit from My Scrapbook Nook.

I used this super sketch, why not give it a try and upload your work over at Crafty sketches?

I hope you will enjoy the last day of Easter :-)

Hugs,
Kirsten

Sketches With A Twist....

I don't think it is spring that characterizes the weather today. Maybe it's because I'm not feeling quite well as I have got the flu.

Well, 1st. April means time for a new sketch from Sketches With A Twist, and here it is:

This time I decided the twist and it is: Use mesh on your project, it could be Magic Mesh, mesh from a bag of fruit or some kind of mesh you find in your household.

I dug down into the pictures from my trip to Tivoli in October 2011 and made this layout.

I used papers from the Echo Park series "A Walk In The Park". The black mesh I used as a matte the picture is from a bag of onions. I stapled the mesh to the cardstock.

The Halloween banner is from Purple Pumpkin.

It's almost Easter. I am really looking forward to some hollidays, this year I'm lucky as I don't have to go to work during the Easter, so there is plenty of time for celebration together with our family.

I wish you all a Happy Easter :-D

Hugs,
Kirsten
