Not The Bath Tub! (+Tuesday giveaway winner)

I had loves today - plenty:

1. I just love the new Little Yellow Bicycle collection Saturdays: the colors, the patterns and the fun embellishments.
2. I love my dog, too
3. I have been looking for a shop where I could by some Epiphany Craft tools and epoxy buttons, but have found none - well there are some out there in the world, but shipping would ruin me. But sweet Pysselpetra visited me this weekend and brought me a gift - a button tool and epoxy buttons. I think I love her, also...

Guess who has been playing with new papers and tools today?

This layout is my entry to LYB's February/March Sketch Challenge



I have made by first epoxy buttons :-)

RIP A10

A10 is an RC model air plane.
DS9 wanted it for ages, but it's not a beginner's plane and we managed to talk him out of buying it. But then he got some spare money...

My hubby is running an RC shop (boy' s toys!!!) so I admit the kids have an easier access to RC stuff than other kids. But they can't get any thing they want for free, they have to pay for all their stuff (but they do get a great discount).

DS9 handles RC planes a lot better that plenty of adults I have seen, but some times his attemps do fancy tricks ends up not so well. He is very good at fixing distroyed items himself, but this time, when he crashed his A10 into a tall sprouse, we though it was RIP A10. But the A10 is running again after a huge glue treatment.

I admit it: the new MME collections like Miss Caroline and On the Bright sides absolutely does it for me. I love the woodgrain background papers, and even after making four or five layouts with th said background papers, in a various of colors and shades, I'm still not tired of them. I really need to shop some more!

I made this layout for the Blog Challenge #33 at the MME blog, using the On the Bright Side collection + a few items from Fine and Dandy. I chose to keep the layout very simple to emhasize the photo and the emotion in it - emptyness (you have no idea how much DS9 loves this plane, and how sorry he was when he though it had killed it).

Thank you for taking your time to stop by!

Just For You Card

As I promised in yesterday's post, I'll introduce you to some of the fun card challenges we host at MyScrapBookNook.

Here is the card I created for the My Sentiments Exactly challenge:

A very simple card. All materials from the Nook March kit except white CS

Here is how the challenge goes: create a card or layout where the sentiment/title is the focus.

If you follow this link you will find some pinspo images and some more examples from the DT.

Do you want to play with us?
Come on over - you do NOT have to have the kit to participate!

I'm on a card roll!

If you are looking for my Tuesday Giveaway, please go to this post :-)

---------------------------

Every month we have lot of fun card challenges at MyScrapbookNook, and this month I decided to play along with the lovely March Kit.

I'm going to introduce you to the challenges here at my blog as we release them, so please return both tomorrow and later this week and month to see what we have for you, and to see my examples.

Another fun activity we have at the Nook, is celebrating our forum members with creating a birthday card specially made for them. As I felt pretty brain drained after creating lots of cards for the Nook Card Challenges, it was a real mojo booster to find this lovely sketch over at Card Patterns:

And here is my take on the card sketch:

Tuesday Giveaway - On A Wednesday (again)

So it happened again - my every day life hit me again and I didn't get a chance to put up this give away yesterday. Scheduling on Sunday, when life is slower? Nahhh, not an option *lol*

Anyway here is this week's give away:

Perfect for mascilin cards. Papers and stickers from SEI, the rest from here and there.

How to enter the drawing for this giveaway? It's super easy:
Just leave me a comment in this blog post before Saturday March 17th midnight GMT+1. The winner will be drawn by random on Sunday and you will have one week to claim your prize. Good luck!


PS. I promised I should have a giveaway every Tuesday until the end of April, but because decreasing numbers of participants, I'll change this to a monthly give away unless five participants or more this week. The new schedule will eventually start the first week of April.

Me, myself & I

I have been busy for a while and haven't payed much attention to challenges out in the cyber world for a while. But suddenly life got calmer, I have a mojo overload and all assignments are done, so when I spotted the march 1th challenge at Once Upon A Sketch, I wanted to do it.

The Journalling Criteria/Theme this time: All About Me!

The focus of your journalling and the theme of your layout has to be based on YOU and something/s that you are really good at. Don't be shy! We are all good at something as small or as big as it might be.


As you may know, I work as an engineer at construction sites. Believe me, there aren't many women in the business! No problem really, most of the men are great guys and I like the way they think and talk - stright forward. I imagine they don't see me as a woman either, but as a good co worker (even if I usualy wear a dress or skirt on Fridays, just to celebrate the difference *lol*).

I flipped the sketch, but still kept quite close to the original.

Patterned papers from MME The Bright Side Collection, the rest from here and there



The journaling goes like this: "I like to imagine I'm good at using both parts of myself: the masculine engineer part and the feminin girly part. And I chose to believe all people in my suroundings, both at home and at work, benefit on knowing both those parts".

The photo is taken on one of our construction sites where we are building a new highway.

This winter I split between beeing on site and working with QA and Safety for our head office. My new office is so empty and need some decorations, so I want to frame this layout and bring it there to add some color to the room. A while back we did a photo swap at MyScrapbookNook, and Pysselpetra scrapped the same photo for me (you can see her layout here). I'll keep her layout in my album and will take mine out of our house.

Some close up shots of my layout:

Thank you for taking your time to stop by!
