look at thiiis!

I am going to make this, and put it somewhere lovely..

x Thankyou BasicGrey for this and other lovely samplers x

(I am actually very nervous about this as in 10 months and 1 week I have not been apart from said little body for more than 3 hours and that has been rare even)

I feel weird and give MrA Instructions like- Don’t take any chances.. really, none. Don’t cross the road like you normally do when you have her, don’t let her play with weird stuff for a moment, please watch what she is putting in her mouth, and investigate right away if you see her chewing some kinda floor snack thing! Yup I’m like that. Needless to say I will worry and call a little bit :/

I am now still laying in bed waiting for the bustle of motion that says the day is all go- that is in 17 minutes to be near exact, so trying to make the most of this time in thinking of how to get ready and what to bring to the super scrapbook day to make the most of it and save me carrying the earth.

Hm, my main project that (needs) working on is little Andersens baby book. I have the papers for it and desperately need to do more pages. Pages like what she got from who as gifts. Her first photo.. oh thats a goodie! And I have that printed (check) At the hospital- not printed.. :S um

And then my brain goes blank, oh dear.. hm.

I also want to make my own scrapit recipe book and I have plenty of papers for that! That would be a fun one to get going on.. maybe I should focus on that for today Nice and simple- straight forward. Oh my goodness.. too good to be true, I actually know what I’m going to work on for a change and thus what I need to take with me, yay.

9 minutes now until everybody is awake..

Fun day of Scrap checklist:

• Nook + Pantry papers
• Other kitchen papers
• tab book?
• kitchen stamps
• photos of lovely food creations!
• nifty pens + tools caddy thing
• Stuff for my embellishment tutorial (circle punches, chalks)
• snacks
• Camera to take more pics to scrap later!! hahah

That should do it I think..

4 min until everyone is awake.. better get packed!

In the leafy tree top..

Yea, I know I haven’t posted for aggees truth being i tried a couple of times but seemed to have temporarily forgotten my password hah, hows that for password security? I had to ask the husband who actually remembered it! In danish directly translated they call the post natal memory loss ‘breastfeeding brain’ like your brains have been milked out.. I think that could be what’s happened.

I am VERY excited about this new project I am involved in, where a friend and I with a love for all things paper and colour, challenge each other each week to be creative, and share the outcomes and challenges with others as we go- because we all know its good to share!

Check out the first challenge where Alaina tells us a bit about herself in a sweet and sophisticated mini album.. so cute! Now I have to get busy and figure what I am going to respond to her challenge with!

Yippee! I found an old Lundby doll’s house to renovate..

I’m having so much fun with it.

My transformer for the lights arrived too.. woooh!

Its for Nora… honest.

This room needs a make-over for sure..!

I wonder…

So I have been itching to show/tell you about my new toy! That is the Big Scalloped Edged Circle Puncher Machine. A long title for an instrument that I obviously don’t know the true name for. Anyway I purchased it at the big scrapbook ‘crop’ event that I went to with the very fun Alaina.. so fun infact that I didn’t do much scrapping but more of the chatting..

explanation:

Smiley reminder Pencils for the YW who have been assigned a goal to do three things each and every day. It may look to the untrained non Danish eye to read ’1.bed’ but does in fact mean pray but last I knew you could combine them.. 2.study 3.smile! Oh and do I have lots lots more to use my BSECPM for!

I very excitedly took my camera along with me to the cropper but after taking just ONE picture the battery died ;( So.. here’s the one picture from the crop.. pretty pathetic huh but you can see the newly purchased Paper shaper.  (ah so that is what it’s called)

We took off to the summerhouse for a week of relaxation, we sauna’d till we were clean and shiny. And took day trips to little towns and I decided that we would move to Viking town Roskild when we get older. And I made my own little summer garden scrapbooking elements.. all out of circles.

My happiest moment was found in giving. There were smiles that day.

And being with the one who I love.

Typically involves paper hearts stuck to a door completed with a plate of treats and diving over a few hedges before the door is answered.

Late one night around Christmas time my family gave out a special heart attack .. a family evening that we all really enjoyed.

the photo documentation…

Nuts… but so much fun!

Share some love today!

Which brings me to thinking of a page I put together from Christmas time while I was at the summer house last weekend. This is page 2 of 4.. I’m not going to spell it out for you. Cameron I love you heaps and heaps and heaps and heaps!  x x x

I was using the shabby princess Winter seasonal sampler for this page.

Summer has arrived…

We took to the summer house for the long weekend- was fantastically reviving. I done some digi-scrapping and had to take these pic’s for my poppy field loving mum..

let me get a picture of you with the poppies

one of me..

and us both together..

and then…

The most beautiful poppy field I have ever seen.

MrA is persuaded!

 

themes, fonts, shapes and colours..

also discovered great vintagey site Tac-O-Rama.. free downloads worth a peak.

And the insperation for this challenge..

Im in love with my my most recent vintage find. A sewing machine accesories box? I’m using as (one of many) storers of scrapbooking thingmies.. I love the patterns on- they have a scrapbook embelished qaulity don’t ya think?

It’s also some great little people’s birthdays.. All this brings me back to the fun I had last year as I discovered digi-Scrappin taking advantage of freebie easter kits here from tiptoe studio and from missmint who also currently has a very nice freebie. I think it’s time for some scrapbook fun again!
