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

Let's Capture These Sketches.......

There is a new sketch ready for you over at Let's Capture These Sketches and here is my take on it. I created a page of my wonderful little granddaughter.

On the photo she is only 2 days old, she is still at the hospital wearing the much toooo big hospitalclothes. I wonder why there isn't some babyclothes available in smaller sizes ..... LOL

The background paper is an old page from American Crafts and the rest is left overs, which I think matches the photo perfectly. Except the white lace and Washi tape is everything else on this page older stuff.

Close up of the little cute ducks

.... and here you have the sketch. You can get a lot of inspiration how to use it over at the LCTS blog.

I wish you a wonderful Sunday.

Hugs,
Kirsten

LCTS/Crafty Sketches ......

Today I have two layouts to share with you. Both are DT-work and the first one is for Let's Capture These Sketches with photos of my newborn granddaughter. On the photos she is 24 hours old. Isn't she adorable ? :-D

I used the latest LCTS sketch

and here it is

The cute little tiger button is from Purple Pumpkin

The second layout is DT-work for Crafty Sketches.

I'm longing for Spring so I dug into the old photos and found some with Spring flowers and found some old Sassafras papers in my stash and cut out the flower swirls. The letters are cut-outs from a QK alphabet (Flirt), which I borrowed from one of my scrapfriends Tina.

At first I thought the March sketch was a little difficult, but it I had a lot of fun working with it. Thanks for a great sketch Jules ;-)

See you soon.....

Hugs,
Kirsten
