The Scrap chick from Iceland

Pencil Lines sketch #231

2011-03-28T15:00:00.001-07:00

I had so much fun yesterday evening playing with the beautiful Emma shoppe line from Crate paper. I love it !!!!! I used Pencil Lines sketch #231.

My titles are almost always in icelandic but I had to use these gorgeous chipboards as a title for this lo. I adore these pics of my DD taken in January.

Supplies: Emma shoppe Crate paper, bazzill and EK success.

It's been a hard week

2011-03-25T11:03:00.000-07:00

The last 10 days or so have been so hard on us. It all started with my little Silja getting really sick. She was so sick that she was admitted to the childrens hospital for several days. She had a really bad case of Respiratory Syncytial Virus. She is doing so much better now but I'm so tired that I haven't be able to do anything else than taking care of her and Sunneva. Hopefully that is about to change. I miss scrapping. This weekend I really wanted to do two things. I want to do my Project 12 lo for febuary and I want to do the Pencil lines sketch. I really love the sketch for this week. I did not have enough time to do both things and to tell you the truth I don't feel that inspired these days. But I did Project 12. I loved the sketch but I don't love how it turned out. I don't know where my mojo is but the lo lacks layering and details. It's way to plain. The journaling is about how much I dislike Febuary. Strange since I got married Febuary 22 the year 2003. Febuary this year was all about cakes and parties. We celebrated all kinds of things in Febuary. Silja was babtized and we celebrated our 8 year weeding anniversary. DH and Sunneva were sick to name few things from the journaling.

On track - two new lo's

2011-03-19T06:49:00.000-07:00

I'm pretty happy with myself today because I'm on track with Silja's month album. Ok, I know she is only 4 1/2 months old but I'm still glad. I got the pics I took on her 3 and 4 months "birthdays" 2 days ago and I did both the lo's yesterday (well I finished them today).

My good friend Ása Lára gave me these awesome month cards from Little yellow bicycle before Sila was born and I have used them on her lo's so far. I was glad to see the the 3 months die cut was green. This page may look like a boy page but I love to be able to do a green lo's for her.

Title: 3 months

Supplies: Basic grey (some old paper), Bazzil, Maya Road, Stickles, MME, Prima, American Crafts, Little yellow bicycle and MLS.

And here is the 4 months lo for her album. I was saying to my hubby that I wish I had done this for Sunneva also. I have created lo's over the years using pics taken on her birthday and I have written a long text about how she is at each age but I don't have lo's with journaling about the first months in her life. I have 12 pics taken 17th of each month the first year but no journaling. I kept a diary for her at the time. Maybe I could use that one for journaling ???? Well I'm not sure what to do.

Title: 4 months. Supplies: Bazzil, MME, EK success, Teresa Collins, Making memories, Little yellow bicycle, Basicy grey, Tim Holtx and bazzil.

Pencil Lines sketch #229

2011-03-16T11:18:00.000-07:00

Slipe "N" slide was a total hit here last Summer. This is my first LO using pics of Sunneva and her friends sliding. I used a Pencil Lines sketch #229 as a base.

Title: ...and slide
Supplies: Basic grey, Bazzil, Little Yellow Bicycle, Queen&Co, American Crafts, Imaginisce, Tim Holtz, EK success and Studio Calico.

I used for the very first time a Huey's Color Mist from Studio Calico. You can you see it on the pink Basic grey paper (the background paper) and the sky stamp. I love it. I have been so afraid to try it out but I think I may be hooked.

No my diary list today...feeling to tired.

A fantastic day

2011-03-12T13:19:00.000-08:00

This day was the best. I woke up with the girls and spent some quality time with them until noon. Then I had a crop date with my darling scrapgirls. It was so great to get out of the house for few hours. The girl who hosted the crop is also my neighbor so it only took me 3 minutes to walk to my house to breastfeed Silja. I had so much fun just scrapping and talking. One in the group wasn't able to come and we missed her but hopefully we'll be doing this again soon.

I did 2 one page lo's and 1 two pager.

This one I did using Pencil lines sketch #228. Great sketch for these pics of Sunneva in her Christmas Dress 2010.

Title: The Dress. Supplies: Bazzill (it's a white background, sorry for the bad scan), gorgeous christmas line from 3ndypapir.no (I love it !), American Crafts, Cricut, MME and EK success.

I love how the American crafts flower ribbon matches 100% with the roses on the dress.

I'm in love with all the lines from Echo Park. I think I have bought all lines from them except two. I can't wait to buy their latest one called Playground. It's so perfect for scrappers with kids. Anyhow this one I did using a pic of Silja when she is 6 weeks old. So cute. The title Cutie. Supplies: Coredinations ColorCore, Bazzill, Echo Park, Maya Road, Marvy Uchida and Jewel Tone Scrapbooking (the felt stickers).

I did not finish the 2-pager so I'll be uploading it later on.

In other news I can tell you that I fell of the wagon. Yes, I went on a little shopping spree and bought the Emma Shoppe line from Crate paper. I just HAD to have it and since I had fallen in the first place I HAD to buy few other supplies too. You can judge me ! What I'm thinking is that I can fall once of the wagon but only once. I know I'm hopeless.

Monday Song - Tori Amos Winter

2011-03-07T15:10:00.000-08:00

The Monday song is one of my all time fav song. I love Tori Amos. When I was given birth to Sunneva in 2003 I had her CD little earthquakes on for few hours. I'm a big fan of good lyrics and this one is fantastic.

2011-03-04T05:50:00.000-08:00

It's Friday again. ! The weeks just fly by one by one. Before I know it I'll be in the office again working...but that is not happening until late next winter so why am I talking about it :-)

Anyhow I bought this cute and adorable book called Moomin's Little book of Numbers for Silja the other day. I LOVE the Moomins. This book has the most beautiful color combos. So I'm putting it on my bucket list of scrapbooking. I'm going to create Lo's using these pages as color inspiration.

Talking about gorgeous colors. This is a lo I finished today. I love the colors in this LO.
I used some old and new supplies for this lo. Echo Park and MME paper and embellies, American Crafts, Martha Stewart, Prima and Queen & co.

Goosebumps!!!! I haven't stopped listening to this song since I saw it on BRITs 2011 (on TV but I wish I had been there :-))

All kinds of stuff

2011-02-26T06:34:00.001-08:00

We have been having some strange days here latley. Hubby home sick for 2 days (he's never sick) and then home for another 2 days for Sunneva's school vactaion. Silja keeping me up most nights so I'm pretty tired and then there is Sunneva full of energy.

Yesterday this pic was taken of us for my "4 people 12 times project". Not the best pic but what can you do or say :-)

I haven't done much of scrapping and my scrapspace is a MESS. I so need to spend some time cleaning it. It's just so tempting to scrap when I have time but now I need to clean it !

I did a lo the other day using the latest pencil lines sketch. I was so unhappy with how it turned out that I was not going to post it but now while I'm writing this I'm thinking why not. This blog is kinda like my scrapdiary and why not show the work I'm not happy with also. I think I took the sketch way to much literal.

Title: On your way home

Supplies: Echo park little girl (so so cute), Prima, Rusty pickle, Pink Paislee, EK success and Ella's studio.

Then yesterday I did a lo and I'm happy how that one turned out.

Title: Silja cutie

4 People 12 times

2011-02-20T12:50:00.000-08:00

So I forgot to post our January 4 People 12 times picture. What's up with that!

This family photo was taken by Sóley in January. What's so wrong with this picture is the fact that Silja is sleeping :-)
I haven't taken the Febuary photo yet. I still have 9 days to do it.

Tomorrow I'm starting the "From the Couch to 5 km" running program. I need to focus on getting myself into shape. My goal is 2 kg per month. Let's just say that I'll have to do that for many months to reach my final goal.

I use google reader to follow all the blogs I read. I follow 192 blogs and most of them are about scrapbooking. One of the blogs I read is Ania's "Little Corner of Ania". One thing she does that I totally love is to write a semi diary on her blog. I can't count the times I have tried to write a diary. I never stay with it for reasons I don't know. So I'm going to copy her idea and when I blog I'm going to do "my diary list" just for me.

Listening: to the sleeping sheep

Getting to know each other

2011-02-18T03:19:00.000-08:00

As you can imagine I'm taking alot of pics of Sunneva and Silja together. This 2-pager has 4 pics of them together the first days after Silja was born or from Nov 3 (her birthday) to Nov 29. The journaling is about how Sunneva is adjusting to this big change in our lives.

I saw this Dear Lizzy paper used in this way in the latest issue of Scrapbook Trends mag on a LO created by Sarah de Guzmen and I thought it was brilliant it's such a cool paper.

Title: Getting to know each other
Supplies: American Crafts, Crate paper, Hambly, Prima, Page frames, Jenni Bowlin and EK success.

2011-02-17T10:45:00.000-08:00

I'm trying to scrap lo's using pics taken the first days and weeks of Silja's life. This is a simple LO about our very short stay at the hospital after Silja was born.

Title: In the hospital
Supplies: Pebbles papers, Bazzill, Jenni Bowlin, Teresa Collins, Tim Holtz, EK success etc. Here I used some of my "old" supplies and I also uese 3 stamps and that must be a record for me. I wanted to "dress up" the journaling spots without creating alot of "mess". This is me stepping outside my comfort room :-)

These pics are from last Summer and Sunneva is enjoying the Summer rain. The title is taken from an icelandic song and translates to something like: I like the rain or I think the rain is good.

2011-02-11T04:23:00.000-08:00

We finally got some snow here and I love taking snow photos so I used the oppertunity and went out with the camera. I even took some pics of Silja "in" the snow but on this LO I used pics of Sunneva. Silja's first snow lo will be created later.

I used some Bo bunny papers I got from secret santa last christmas. I love this paperline. It's totally gorgeous. I used a sketch from Pencil Lines and the fan fold flowers I made after seeing this tutirol online. These flowers are so simple and really gorgeous !

Project 12 January

2011-02-04T14:01:00.000-08:00

Whoo hooo my first 2-pager for Project 12 is done ! I really like how it turned out, clean and simple. I used the sketch and it was fantastic to work with. I love this project and I'm so glad I'm finally doing this.

Each month I'm going to end the journaling with few words that sums up how the month was for us. Also this month I used a color combo that I feel describes the month very well for me. Grey = tired, pink= taking care of my two beautiful girls and blue = soft weather and spending alot of time home (inside). Don't ask why but these colors mind me of these things right now.

Last part of the journaling (the words): breastfeeding, crying (Silja), staying home alot (me), work (DH), school and hobbies (Sunneva), my mom and dad (helping out) and soft weather.

Supplies: Bazzill, Basic grey, Echo Park, Webesters, American Crafts, Martha Stewart, Stamping Up and EK success.

On the pics you can see my mom, my dad, Sunneva and Silja (and a little bit of me).

Also this means I have done 2 LO's so only 48 more to go :-)

Too much spending ?

2011-02-02T09:00:00.000-08:00

Lately I have been spending too much money on scrapsupplies. Normally that would be ok (or at least I tell myself that) but now I'm on maternity leave and have to think more about what I spend my money.

Today I ordered two punches from Two peas that I told myself I had to have and I'm waiting for an order from HSS. So as you can see this shopping sickness has hit my hard :-)

When I saw this on Hanna's blog I knew this was just the thing for me. I have way too many paper sheets, embellies etc and I need to use up my stash before I buy more. Phewww this will be hard since I'm longing for some of the new Create Paper, Maya Road, MLS etc.

I have also put into a wooden winebox embellies I have had for some time now and I have challenged myself to use every item in the box before August 31.

So how many creations should I aim for ??? 20, 30, 50 or 70. Let's see last month I created 12 LO's and 4 cards and it was a hard month because Silja's colic was bad so did not have much time to scrap. I should be able to create 15 LO's and 4 cards per month (at least...right !) So my challenge is to create 50 LO's and 12 cards and not buy any new supplies until I reach that goal.

How does that sound ? For every LO I do I'll put 100 ISK in a jar and for every card I create I'll put 50 ISK in the jar. When I reach my target I can use that money to buy some of the new CHA stuff.

I'm starting this challenge today ! Hopefully I will reach my goal number before May 1.

A Summer LO

2011-01-30T01:53:00.000-08:00

There are only 2 days of January left and I have done 12 LO's and 4 cards. I can't believe it since I did not have that much time this month to scrap. These 12 LO's have been created when I have 10-15 minutes to spare.

This 2-pager took me "forever" to finish. Why ? Well I haven't had that much time the last few days because of my little girl. She really needs here mom to hold her these days.

I have this huge pile of pictures of Sunneva that I need to scrap and I'm working myself through them. I took these cute pics of her last Summer. The journaling tells her to always remember to enjoy the little things in life. Like flowers.

Title: Enjoy
Supplies: Zva Creative, Cosmo Cricket, Bazzill, Collage Press, American Crafts, Martha Stewart, EK Success, Prima, Skrapp og gaman (the gorgeous pink flowers) and scrap.is (the leaves pin)

Beautiful Doodlebug

2011-01-24T06:53:00.000-08:00

I'm struggling with scrapping style. I feel stuck. I feel like all the LO's I create look the same and are not good enough. My problem is that I love so many differents styles. I love vintage, shabby chick, lo's filled with details, I love clean and classic etc but what is my style in all of this.

I have found out that I'm happier with my clean LO's. The one that have clean and straight line. I love details so what I'm aiming for is straight lines, clean look and details.

This is a LO I started yesterday and finished today. It's not straight and clean and guess what I'm not that happy with how it turned out.

What I love about this LO are these two Doodlebug papers I used for this LO (the red one and the one with the hearts).

These pics were taken last Summer. Sunneva got her first Inline skates and she loved them.

Challenges

2011-01-20T04:44:00.000-08:00

This year I'm going to do at least 2 challenges. I have been wanting to the first one for few years now.

The first one is to create a 2-pager using pics from each month and the journaling will be about how the month was for us. Basically all the daily stuff. When I saw this Project 12 challenge on Davinie Fiero blog I thought it would be perfect for me to stay on track and stay motivated.

Another challenge I'm going to do this year is to take one pic each month of the family. I think it will be so much fun at end of year to see how much or how little we have changed. I saw this on this blog that's hosted by Tara Whitney. We will have 12 pics of the four of us at the end of this year. It will be my 4 people 12 times challenge.

I can't wait to start !

Two 2-pagers !

2010-07-11T02:20:00.000-07:00

Yesterday it was raining hard and DD had a friend over to play with so I got pleanty of me time. After reading a book I felt the urge to spend some time in my very clean (yes I cleaned it well last week) scraproom.

I have alot of pics I want to scrap of Sunneva and I have not been the best scrapper in the world last months so you can imagine how happy I was when I had Two 2-pagers to show for after 3 hours of work.

Not only did I document 17 pics I also used alot of my old stash for these two lo's. I could not be happier :-)

Anyhow here are the lo's. First I have to say sorry for the bad scan of the first one. For some reason my scans always go wrong when I use white background paper.

The title is: Friends.
Supplies: Bazzill, Fancy Pants, MME, SEI, Tinkering Ink. Create paper, Prima, Jenni Bowlin, Maya Road, Tim Holtz, Queen & Co, Making memories and Elle's Studio. Everything on this lo's is "old" except the Jenni Bowlin flower "stickers" and Elle's Studio journaling spot.

This one here has the title: Gerpla's Christmas show. Some of the pics are not too good since Sunneva was so far away from us but it is important for me to document this so I have to use what I got.

Supplies: Bazzill, Basic grey, Prima, Doodlebug, Punch and Queen and co.

I totally love working with sketches so this is perfect for me. Yesterday I really wanted to scrap. I had the time but I did not have the mojo until I saw this sketch. I followed the sketch 100% and this is the outcome.

Title: The Grass Garden (I know it sound funny in english)

Supplies: Pink Paislee papers and embellies, Bazzill, Martha Steward punch, Basic grey stamp, StazOn ink, Prima Letters and bling and a Doodlebug ric rac.

New mixed with old

2010-06-24T15:43:00.000-07:00

I started this LO yesterday and finshed it today. I totally love MLS products and wanted to use a new paper from them I just bought. I mixed some new products with old. The felt embellies are from American crafts and I bought them "long" time ago. It feels good to use products that have been laying around from a long time. Other products are bazzill, making memories, Hambly and punches.

Anyhow I feel like I'm stuck with my LO's. In my mind the pretty much all look the same and lack all details and fun techniques.

Scrap World Cup challenge #2

2010-06-19T08:54:00.000-07:00

I totally love Céline Navarro Scrap world Cup online class. Her challenges and techniques have really made me step outside of my comfort zone and try something new. I'm working on challenge #3 rigth and let me tell you it's so different from what I usually do. Let me give you a hint I have been playing with Cardboard paper, GESSO and glimmer spray this morning !!! Phewww I'm not sure how the outcoming is going to be but a least I'm trying something new.

Anyhow here is my take on challenge #2. The technique was fun making a faux stiching (around the circles).

The title is Noise.

Journaling: We moved into our House spring 2008. Your dad took down 3 really big trees in the Garden that Summer and you did not like the Noise he made while doing it.

Supplies: MME, Jenni Bowlin, American Crafts, Little yellow Bicycle and a ric rac.

Only five more days of work and then I'll start my Summer Vaction and only 9 days until we find out the sex of the baby :-) Can't wait !!!

Scrap World Cup Class with Céline Navarro

2010-06-13T02:08:00.000-07:00

As I start feeling a little bit better (I'm still throwing up at week 18) I can feel the urge to scrap more. This Lo I did the other day. These pics are from last Summer. Sunneva just loved her Running bike that Summer (today she loves her bike much more). I'm trying to use up my old supplies and on this LO I used some really really old rub ons flowers and journaling box and mixed them up with some new supplies from My Little shoebox. The photo corners I got from my good friend Kathie.

I signed up for Céline Navarro Scrap World Cup online class. I really need to start to think outside the box and try new things otherwise my lo's will all look the same and I will get stuck in a rut forever !

Anyhow our first lesson was posted on friday. We got an amazing color combo (pink, blue and orange), a fun sketch and a fab technique to work with. I combined all three in this LO I call Disco Babes. The technique you can see on the blue tag. I stamped an image (a Studio Calico stamp) using embossing ink and clear embossing powder on a white bazzill. Then I inked the tag using blue Doodlebug ink and wiped the ink off the stamped embossed image. I love how this turned out and I will for sure be using this technique on other Lo's. I can't wait to try it out using floral and doodle stamps.

I used a lot a products on this LO ! Bazzill, Basic grey, Dream Streat papers, American Crafts, My little shoebox, Making memories, Prima, Queen & co eyelets, Doodlebug, Tim Holtz, Studio Calico, Pink Paislee, Martha Steward etc.

Upload day

2010-01-13T09:12:00.000-08:00

Today is a DT upload day over at HSS so go and check out the gallery. This month I created 3 lo's using a new line from MME as the main product.

On this LO I used one of my fav pics of Sunneva from the year 2009 and the title is: My favorite photograph 2009. The journaling is about why this is one of my fav pics. Supplies I got from the HSS store: MME paper Be loved is the name of the line, Stickers Jenni Bowlin, Cardstock stickers Sassafras Lass, Cricut and Glue dots.

Here is a lo I made for my DH. We have been together for 15 years (counting from January 12 1995). The title is 15 years 15 Reasons. On the stripes I wrote 15 reasons why I love him. Supplies: I got from the HSS store: MME paper Be loved, Stickers , Cricut, Making memories, Bazzill, Imaginisce stickers and Glue dots.

This is a really personal LO that I felt I needed to create for myself. When I took these pics I was planning on doing a pregnancy mini album with my pregnancy story but things did not turn out that way for me this time around. To make a long story really short. We had been trying to get pregnant for some time. Finally it happend. Really soon I got extremly sick so sick I had to spend most of my time in the hospital or in bed at home. I did not work for more then 5 weeks counting from week 7. Then we found out that the pregnancy would not end with a baby in our arms and I had d&c on week 13,5. The title Angel baby comes from dream my niece dreamt before she even knew I was pregnant. About a week before we got the bad news about the baby my niece dreamt that she was visiting me at home. I had given birth to a little girl (the baby I lost was girl). She asked me in the dream why does she never cry. I looked at her and said she never cries because she is an Angel. My niece told my sister about this dream the morning after she dreamt and only week later we found out that this pregnancy would have to end. The pics are as you can see the pregnancy test, my first sonogram (at 6 weeks), the bruses on my hands after all the needles, the fluids I got when I was really sick and then the sonograms pics from 12 weeks.

Supplies: MME Be loved, Cricut, Making Memories and Glue dots.

I can't believe it September already ! I love Fall. I love the colors and the smell. This is a LO with some Spring pics on but the colors remind me more of Fall. I used my July Label Tulip kit for this one. The title is Very Limber.

I don't know what my 3rd project is going to be this month. The thing is our computer had to go to the "doctor". It's still at the doctors and it has been there for more then a week now !!!

Cards; CPS #130 and Hero Arts

2009-08-24T03:03:00.000-07:00

This is my take on CPS card #130. I don't know what it is but I don't seem to be able to create cards that I totally love. I have several card idols that create the most gorgeous cards. Their cards always look so detailed. Mine don't. I just have to keep on working on this skill and hope that one day I'll be creating cards that I really love. Anyhow this one is for my sister who is turning 46 today ! Happy birthday my sweet sister.

Supplies: Bazzill, Pink Paislee, Cuttlebug, Fiskars border punch, MM stickers, Tim Holtz distressing Ink, Maya Road chipboard and the flower is American Crafts I think.

This card I created for Friends who had us over for dinner last friday. I just got my new Wood grain Hero Arts stamp. I think I'm in love !

Supplies: Bazzill, Hero Arts, Hambly rub ons, BG ribbon and MM stickers.

New LO's and some stuff

2009-08-07T10:41:00.000-07:00

I'm enjoying my Summer vaction. Today is my 4th day and it's the 4th day that it's raining ! You know what that means right...more time to scrap. Sunneva and I have been spending some time in our scraproom. I just love how much she is into scrapping.

I have done two challenges over at HSS the last two days.

This one is called: Duck Egg. I just bought these Sassafras lass papers today but the felt flowers are "old" and also the bigger yellow buttons. The title letters are also old. I just love to use up some of my older supplies.

These pics are from June. It's the first time we ate a duck egg. We loved them.

This one is called: The Smile. It's also for a challenge over at HSS. Papers are Autumn Leaves. Bazzill swiss dotted. Prima and American Crafts letters. Chipboards Maya Road.

This a pic from our vaction in Denmark 2007.

So in other news I'm really trying hard to start working out again. I really need to lose some weight. On my birthday DH gave me Nike+ so I can track really easily my workouts. This morning I went to the gym and spent 40 minutes burning calories. It's a start. I need to put some pressure on me so I'm going to record here what I'm doing. Just to keep track.

I'm waiting for my Cuttelbug to arrive and also my Hero Arts stamps. I can't wait to get more toys to play with.

Thanks for dropping in !

Ellen over at HSS did The Language Art challenge in Summer school. The title is suppose to rhyme and there had to be some journaling on the lo.

Journaling: When I saw this "Shark" in Legoland my first thought was Jaws ! The three of you were all way to young to know who Jaws is !!! So you just went into the Sharks mouth with out thinking twice.

Summer School over at HSS

2009-07-30T01:25:00.000-07:00

There are some fun summer school challenges going on over at HSS This my challenge that I put up this morning.

"Good morning class !

Today we are going to focus on health and exercise. We all know how important it is to try to stay healthy and in shape.

Did you know that the first “gym” filled with mechanical fitness contraptions was built by Swedish physician Gustav Zander in the late 19th century. Zander’s mechanical horse was an early version of the Stairmaster, a contraption for cardiovascular fitness designed to imitate a “natural” activity. His stomach-punching apparatus evokes contemporary “ab-crunching” machines. What makes Zander so important, for anyone trying to trace the Cybex family tree, is what happened when his machines, created in a European cultural context, immigrated to the US in the early twentieth century. They are prototypes of the workout equipment now ubiquitous in American life.

So your homework today is: Create a 1-pager or a 2-pager about what you or someone in your family does to "stay in shape". It can be about your kids and their activities.
I want to see you interpret in your own way “SHAPE AND/OR REPETITION” with the theme in mind ofcourse. Have fun and play with this concept.
Other requirements are to use something that interprets movement in the title and you need to use 4 differents colors.

Have fun and don't be late for your next class !!!

Here is mine page.

Sunneva has been in ballett for more then 2 years now. Even though it's not though on her body now it will be if she wants to continue her ballett study. I have more then 4 different colors. I placed the title on wings because wings are used to fly...right so there is my movement. The title is 1,2,3,4,5 Position and the numers stand for all the repetition they have in ballett. "

Guess what I did ...I bought a cuttlebug ! Now I can't wait to have it and try it.

Ebay and Cuttlebug

2009-07-25T13:52:00.001-07:00

We are having an awesome summer here in Iceland and I have only 5 more working days until my Summer vaction starts. I can't wait !!!

I went on a shopping spree this morning...yes I know not very wise of me to do that since the dollar is 128 ISK (was 70 one year ago) but I have been working hard and I need a treat. So what did I buy ? I bought 36 Copic markers on Ebay. The are so many scrapbookers/stampers talking about these markers and hopefully I'll be as happy with them as they all are. I can't wait to learn how to use them and play around more with my stamps.

I also bought 3 Hero Arts stamps. This Woodgrain stamp, Christmas branch stamp and this Christmas Owl. I love what I have seen scrappers do with these stamps. I'm totally in love with Hero Arts stamps.

I signed up for an online class at Get it scrapped ! it's about how to make beautiful hand made cards. I totally love this class. The theacher Tania Willis is fantastic and her handouts are so cool and detailed. I'll be showing some of my cards soon.

The Cuttlebug has been drawing my attention latley. I really love all the embossing that is possible to do with it. I'm trying to make up my mind should I buy it for myself. If someone reads this blog (not many I think :-)) and can share their stories about the Cuttlebug with me I would be very thankful. Do you like it or not ???

Have a great weekend

Lately I have been trying to figure out what I'm mostly drawn to when I look at a LO. I totally love layering and details. So I want to focus on that on my next lo's. I want to try to remember the details and use more of my stuff on my LO's. I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out. It's simple but a start.

Title: Cute

Here are few pics of the "details"

Title: Friends

I totally adore these Hero Art stamps.

Title: Frosting Monster. I can't get enought of these Glitz design birds.

Guest Designer challenge

2009-04-17T10:31:00.000-07:00

This month over at HSS we have the really talented Guest Designer challenging us. Her name is Beth Root and her challenge was about doing a lo's about something we care about. We had to use the same pp line for the LO. I choose Create paper so I could not use any other papers from other manufactures for my lo. We also had to use chipboard (it could not be letters).

Here is my take on the challenge.
Title: Because of you two I want a bigger family. Pics were taken June 17 2007.
Supplies: Create paper. Maya Road and Rusty pickle chipboards. Brads Basic grey. MM letters stickers. American Crafts letters. Doodlebug ric rac. Scenic Route stamps.

"Lazy town"

2009-02-18T05:49:00.000-08:00

Shame on me ! I have not been taking care of this blog of mine. So now it's time to upload the projects I have been working on the last few weeks.

First things first my last DT upload over at HSS. You really have to check out the store it has so many new cool things. I know I just want to buy buy buy more stuff.

This is one fantastic clear acrylic album from Pageframe Design. I just loved working with it and theme of the albums is: If I were a Princess. Sunneva is on this never ending Princess phase. It's so funny what she says and believes when it comes to these beautiful Disney Princesses. So I interviewd her in the beginning of Dec 2008.She told me everything she believes makes a girl a Princess. I used what she said as the text for this album. The pics are all from last year.

I used alot of stuff for this album and all of it I got from HSS the albums as said before is from Pageframe Design. The paper, the brads, the samps are all from Imaginisce. The dotted cardstock is the new Bazzill (I love it !). Doodlebug the frills. The bling is Glitz. Flower Heidi Swapp and Prima. Tim Holtz distressing ink. StazOn ink. MM stickers

This is another project I did for HSS. My word for the year 2009 is Dicipline so I did this project to have in my scraproom. I really need to remind myself of this ! Same supplies as in the mini album but I also used MR chipboards (the bird and butterfly). The flower is Prima. The felt is Fancy Pants. The star is MME. The border is a Fiskars punck.

This month we are having a Sketch-a-thon over at HSS and it's so much fun to see how different projects can be even though everybody is using the same blueprint for it. I have done this LO and a card from week 1. I really need to catch up.

The title for this one is: The indoor camping.

The supplies I mostly got from my amazing and sweet friend Chris over at HSS. Thanks hon. It SEI paper, bazzill, MM, Prima, Crate paper and American crafts.

I'm really starting to love this cardmaking and Sunneva is really into making cards too (my flowers are her fav supplies)

This is a really "old" pic of Sunneva. She had just gotten these new shoes and did not want to take them off as you can see she even took them to bed.

So now over to Iceland. Skrappa an icelandic scrapstore just moved into a new building (near my home). I did this LO for the opening. It's the Basic gray paper it's just too adorble. And the flowers are from Petaloo.

Title is Our girl. These are pics from january this year.

I getting to the end :-) This is my 2-pager for January (An Album in a Year project). It's called 2009 Predictions. The pics are all from January 2009 except the one with me and DH it's from our Wedding aniversary last year (Feb 2008). I asked DH and Sunneva how they think this year will be (I did this in Dec 2008) and I also wrote down how I think it will be for us and that is the journaling.

I have to give my friends Krissy and Tracey a shout out. Krissy just started her very own online Kit club so cool and it's called Swirlydoos. The first kit is gorgeous to say the least and I just ordered it and it should be getting here soon I hope. Check it out !

Tracey just opened a scrapstore in the UK called Running with Scissors. Congrats my friend !

I'm so proud of you both.

I also want my friends Pauline and Donna to know that my thoughts are with you guys !!!

I will update my blog more often from now on. I have just been so BUSY at work.

A challenge

2009-01-28T14:23:00.001-08:00

I was challenge by Elísabet on scrapbook.is (an icelandic chatboard) to create a lo with:
1) a pic of me
2) baby colors (pastel colors basically)
3) no flowers and no ribbons
4) no oval design

So I combined this months project over at Snapshot of my life 2009 to Elísabet's challenge. I really love Anna's blog and what she is doing so I want to try to do this project of hers. This first project was about recording my routine. Since I work outside the home I wanted to focus on my Home routine. What I do on the week days before and after work. I used a sketch from Snapshot of my life blog.

This is a LO I did the other day with last years Christmas card photo. I'm not sure I like it enough but it will have to work. Thanks to my dear friend Donna over at HSS who "stiched" the pics together for me.

Happy New Year

2009-01-05T07:56:00.001-08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR

This has been a strange year so far. My computer got "sick". We have a cat in the house but we can't keep it since I'm showing allergic reactions. This has broken my heart. Sunneva is so in love with him and actually I also in love with him. He is the sweetest little thing.

Anyhow I have done 2 LO's this year that I want to share. First is the Title page for my Album in a Year project. The text is from The Lord of the Rings and it says: ...the only thing you can control is the what you do with the time you are given. Gandalf the White says this in Two Towers and I just could not agree with this more. My plan is to do a 2-pager for each month.

This is a LO for my BOM album. My goals for the year 2009. I have written them down only for myself to see. Two things I'm going to focus on this year getting fitter. Losing the aweful weight I have been putting on the last 3 1/2 years. Second goal is a financial goal. I have written down an amount I want to have in the bank at the end of this year. We'll she how that one goes.

We are going to use this Snowman to count down to Christmas for us. We had an amazing time creating this together !

A page and a project

2008-11-26T09:58:00.000-08:00

It's been too long since I uploaded something new here. I have been so busy at work and my social life has never been so busy as it is these weeks.

We have an amazing guest designer over at HSS Julie Overby her challenge was: "This challenge is all about cutting it up Create a layout with 'fussy cutting' on it."

I used the nov kit from Studio Calico to create my LO. Title Together. It's been so long since I scrapped (or at least it feels like it's been long) that I felt rusty.

I have Ali Edwards in my bloglines and I love all the fun scrap projects she does. Documenting Dec is one of them and I'm going to do it. The hole point of this project is to have the album ready when Dec 1 comes along. The only thing I'll have to is to print out the pics and write the journal each day. The title of this mini album is: 26 days of Dec 2008.

Guess what happend to my "baby" over the weekend ??? A co-worker was playing with my camera (lesson never hand over your camera to someone else) and he ruined some part of it so now it's beeing fixed (or at least I hope they can fix it). I'll borrow my dad's camera !!! I feel like someone hurt my baby.

As always we over at HSS have a great guest designer for Oct Helen MacCain had a great challenge this month check it out here her sample LO is freaking fantastic.

This is the challenge:
"What is one of one of those little things that make your town, family, children or state what it is? It can be unique, funny, an inherited characteristic, or a landmark, maybe something that only occurs seasonally. Scrap about it, with or without a picture, and tell your story."

Title: Kópavogur (the name of the town I live in)
Journaling: Reykjavík --Gardabear--Kópavogur ? Will Kópavogur be the last town I live in ? As things are now I think so but only time will tell. I'm just getting to know my new town but there is one building there the Church that I have always admired. I don't go to church so it's not about that. In my mind this building has always been a symbol for Kópavogur.

Supplies: Papers and journaling box MME, Coredinations ColorCore Cardstock, Hambly rub ons, Maya Road chipboard, Glitz stickers and Prima flowers.

So my scrapfriends Kathie and Anna Sigga tagged me thanks girls. I'll post 7 random facts about me tomorrow. I'm too tired now to do it.

Today is the first day of Winter and we have snow ! I love snow and I really need to take my DD out and get some cute snow pics.

This is a 2-pager I did last weekend. I could not for the life of me figure out how to scan the first page. For some reason it was all a mess so I just took a photo of it. These are pics from my mom's suprise birthday. She turned 70 last year and did not celebrate her birthday. My parents spent her birthday in Germany so when they came home we held her a suprise party.

Title: Suprise Birthday party

Bad Girls top designer

2008-09-30T14:43:00.001-07:00

I made it through to next round over at Bad Girls Top Designer competition. This round the teacher is Bethany Kartchner really cool teacher. The assignment is to use accessories effectively in a lo with the designes rules in mind: Texture, balance, unity and harmony.

I took these pics this Summer when my DH and his crazy friends played in Mud Soccer competition. They had never done it before but they finished #3 of 24 teams ! My DH was the star in the team :-) Pretty fun.

Texture: buttons, fibers, chipboard, distressing, embossing and burlap fabric. The titleletters are made from two sets of letters and they overlap each other and are distressed.

Balance: I created balance with the 3 pics lined up together and the circles in the 2 corners keep the weight at balance. The flow is created by using repetition of color and elements thoughout the LO.

Unity: The circle shape come from the ball in the pics and I used it on the lo with circles in the corners, buttons and journaling box. Also the stars wich are the theme of the LO. My DH was the star in his team.

Harmony: The colors are pulled from the photos. I tried to take the dirt and roughness from the pics scene and keep them going on to the LO. With the distressing and the burlap.

The title is: The Mud Soccer Star

SuppliesPapers: Bazzill, Pink Paislee, American Crafts and Paper Loft. Fibers Basic gray. Distressing Ink and embossing powder Tim Holtz. Doodlebug glitter. Hambly transparancy. Rusty Pickle chipboard stars. Cricut and Stamped cartridge (title letters). Making Memories sticker letters. Buttons lansing. Journaling box silk-screened Labels. Burlap (the fabric) from the Paris Flea market BG kit.

HSS DT upload

2008-09-16T14:32:00.000-07:00

Today is an upload day over at HSS two of my fellow DT member Annita and Chris have already uploaded some fanstic projects. I love the talent over there and these girls are the sweetest.

My projects this month are a little bit cleaner, simpler then I usually do. I wanted the let the pics be the main focus on the one called Drama and the story was the main focus on The Key one.

All the supplies for these project I got from the HSS store This is a fantastic store with the best service in the World !!! I'm not kidding.

As much as I love my DD I have to admit she can be a Drama Queen. When she starts to cry it does not go unnoticed !!!! Just two pics I took of her when something really small was wrong.I did not use a black cardstock on this LO. I put it there because the scallops on the MM paper did not show up on the scan :-)

Title Drama

Supplies from HSS store:My Dearest Patterned Paper Collection from Sassafras Lass 12pk,Dearest Journal Tag Cardstock Stickers from Sassafras Lass,My Dearest Monogram Cardstock Stickers from Sassafras Lass, Pollen Dust 12x12 Stamps from Fancy Pants, Scallop Die Cut Addie Noteworthy 12x12 paper by Making Memories,Black on White Tiny Alpha Stickers from Making Memories,Fired Brick Tim Holtz™ Distress™ Embossing Powder 1oz from Ranger.

These pics of Sunneva tell a story I had to document on a LO. Here is the journaling and I tell it from her point of view. I keep an closed online diary for Sunneva were I write stories from her point of view. I basically took the journaling from that diary and used it on the LO.

Title: The Key

My mom went to Minnieapolis the other day to do some christmas shopping. Yesterday I walked in on her while she was unpacking. She was not happy seeing my in the room and said „Sunneva leave the room I‘m unpacking your christmas presents“. From that sentence the devil was loose. The next 15 mintues I tried really hard to get close to the suitcase. We laughed and had so much fun. I attacking and my mom in defence. Mom managed to get me out of the room and she locked it with a key. I watched her place the key on top of the door. I ran into my room to get my little IKEA chair and I tried to reach for the key but I was too small. Next I got few books and tried to make my self taller by standing on top of book on the chair. That did not work. My mom was laughing so hard I could not believe it. I went again in my room and started going through my toy boxes. Finally I found something I thought I could use a ballgun. I put a ball in the „gun“ and tried to shoot the key down. The ball was to heavy so this did not work. What could I do ! A ha I knew what had to be done. I went into my room and got my toy hairdryer wich has little to none power. Mom asked me what I was going to do with it. Mom !!! I said I‘m going to blow the key down ofcourse !!!!!!! Nov 2007.

Supplies: Citrus Oranges 12x12 Coredinations ColorCore Cardstock Bazzill black, My Dearest Patterned Paper Collection from Sassafras Lass 12pk,My Dearest Journal Tag Cardstock Stickers from Sassafras Lass, Swirls Grungeboard Alphabets from Tim Holtz, Swirl Grungeboard Elements from Tim Holtz , aged Mahogany Tim Holtz™ Distress™ Embossing Powder, Vintage Photo Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads from Ranger

I wanted to create a simple card with these products because I love those soft and beautiful colors.

Then I have all the typical thing that comes along with a kid, husband and a home.

Anyhow here is my LO for class 2. The class was all about mixing at least 2 kinds of patterned paper together on a LO. I used 4 or 5 if you count the Creative Imaginations as a pp.

HSS Challenge and more

2008-09-14T13:58:00.000-07:00

There is another fantastic Guest Designer this month over at HSS. Holly Pittroff has the coolest challenge over there. Here is the link for the challenge. The challenge: use at least 3 stars on a LO and alter or clue it down in two different ways.

I used one huge star as you can see and I used brads to pin it down. I also used several small stars and I embossed them.

This is a picture taken 2006. Here in Iceland we have this run called The Women's Run. I have taken Sunneva to it 4 times. This picture was taken after the run 2006. On it is me, Sunneva, my mom, my mother's sister and her husband. They are like my grandparents. Baldur (the man on the pic) past away month after this pic was taken. This pics along with other pics taken that day were the last pics ever taken of him. They mean alot to me.
Supplies: Bazzill paper it light brown, Crate pper (the brown with circles), Creative Imaginations (the green under the star) and Autumn leaves (the one in the corner), Chipboards Fancy pants, brads Queen&Co, Hambly journaling box, American Crafts letters, KI memories chipboards (flower, photo corner and butterfly) and Tim Holtz embossing powder.

Another project I had over the weekend was the first class in my Sassy scraps techniques class over at NYC scraps Our first class was all about embossing and using things around our house For that technique.

This one was a trial and error process for me. First I picked patterened paper I liked and tired to emboss the mosaic tials in my bathroom. I did not like the out come of that one and I think it's because I used PP. Then I tried cardstock and used buttons to emboss. It was ok but hard since the bottons were thick. Then I went into my DD room and looked around for some time and then I saw it the perfect thing...I took apart her Babrie Van. I pulled the door of the bathroom from the Van and used it for this project ! This was totally fun. I kinda felt like a little kid again. I used Chalk ink to highligt the embossing. The quote is from a Rusty pickle line, ribbon Basic grey and the rub ons are American Crafts.

I have also been working on my HSS design project this weekend. I have an upload next thusday and I have never been so late on my projects but they are coming along and I'll be ready to upload them.

Bad Girls competiton class 1

2008-09-09T16:38:00.000-07:00

I started scrapping 2004. Since then I have done 2 contests. Today I'm in 2 !!! How crazy am I ???

I signed up again for the Bad girls kits designer competitions. I had so much fun the last time (sure I was stressed) that I just had to do it again. The thing with this competition is that you get kicked out of school if the judges don't think you did as good as you could. I don't mind that but I would love to get through the first round. I think I got through 4 rounds last year out of 7 if I remember this right.

This first weeks lesson was about layering technique. I layered the papers and used 5 layers of paper that I distressed. I hand cut the flower border from a MME paper. The flowers are also layered. I used flowers, a jewel flower brad and a ribbon.

On the photos I added ribbon and bling.
The title is layered. I put some bling on top of the chipboards letters and the thickers overlap the chipboards. Under the title I put an overlay I don't know if that counts with the layering :-)
I added some bling on the hand cut flower border for dimensions.
I used alot of different products for this LO. The paper came almost all from BG Febuary kit. It's Bazzill and MME. Creative Imaginations. Chipboard letters Prima (BG febuary kit). American thickers. Jewel flower brad creative Imaginations. Glitz design red bling. Autumn Leaves clear stamp. Tim Holtz ink. Hambly. Making Memories sticker letters. Makming Memories ribbon. Flowers all Prima.

Rusty Pickle sept challenge

2008-09-07T15:58:00.000-07:00

I really like all the yummy stuff from Rusty Pickle. On the Rusty Pickle blog I saw their sept challenge and desiced to do it. There is a sketch to work from and you have to use the School Daze line. I love it ! It's such a bright and colorful line. The theme is school. Since Sunneva does not start school until next year the journaling is about how I feel about the fact that she starts school after one year.

I took this pic of her this Summer and I just love it.

The title is: Kársnesskóli (the name of the school she will go to) in one year.

Journaling: It's an unreal thought that after one year you will start school. There are so many things that come into mind when I think about this fact. What will be your fav subject, How are you going to feel in school. How is your teacher going to be, what will be hard for your in school etc. Above everything else I hope and wish that you will feel good in school. School can be a tough world but also a really fun one. These are the year you will be growing up. You will change a lot. Kids often find out what they enjoy and what they love. Many meet there future best friends in school. I'm so excited for you but I also worry. In one year we are going to walk together to your new school, Kársnesskóli. It will be great.

Supplies: Bazzill cardstock, papers and chipboards (swirll and title letters (1 ÁR) Rusty pickle, Making memories letters, Tim Holtz embossing powder and Colorbox ink.
