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!

Add some sparkle and sheen with embossing powder..

SCRAP IS BACK! the real thing.. scissors, glue.. touched by the  hands of me and you.

A friend started this layout for me at a crop and I finished it off a little with some bf build-a-bloom or in this case teardrop stamps, appopriate as it contains a letter from little amy explaining as I left Korea- ‘my emma, now that you go home maybe the tears will drop and drop.’ I can’t read that letter without dropping some ):

I’m helping again this year with the ward Christmas party, making up goodie bags on a small budget.

I got a little clever and done a drawing theme with scribble books that I made myself and then some sweets. I love the bobble-top pencils! Last year we stretched the budget by making up some coloring books.

 I was asked to make 12 bags (extras are always good tho)  Its hard to explain how little I spent, Danish kroner isn’t quite like the pound or dollar. I amazed myself, making the bags around likes of 92p each… I think the finished item looks worth more.

I’m not including cost of the paper- my own printer paper sandwiched between two pieces of coloured card, I finished 12 books using just one page of scrapbook paper which I folded and stapled a strip of over the top for the decorated part.. eeaasy!

Paper bags were zilcho as I grabbed them at the place where I got the coloured pencils at in tubs of 40 (4 each of ten colours) at 10 kr- the equivelent of 1 gbp. When I’m in Britain end of this month I like it so much I think I’m going to do something similar for in my nephew’s Christmas stocking  (:

Make a Smilebox photobook

We totally lost track of time after having a late start and for that I got my Knuckles rapped- some things never change! (but it was such a fun night!!) :S This Audrey Hepburn look-a-like has been doing ballet for years hence such swan like elegance!

Thankyou (: box for making our fairytale dream book come true!

*btw you have to turn the pages yourself!

Its like a real book! ..(almost)
