Park Guell in Barcelona


There's a cyber crop going on over at Scrap-
Perra's this week (there's holidays from school
for winter sports in parts of Sweden this week).


First challenge is: Use this sketch:


I made an LO as an insert for my Barcelona
pages in my PL-album 2013 and used purple 
and yellow to fit in with the pages I already
 made with pictures from beautiful Park Guell:


Materials: Papers from Glitz (Uncharted Waters),
Splash: Lindys Stamp Gang, flairs, mini alphas
from KaiserKraft, heart shaped doily, bling from
Panduro and small glass hearts from Pipoos

AOS skissutmaning i februari


Allt om Scrap har en skissutmaning i februari.
Skissen nedan har Ana Castro från Brasilien 
gjort. Kolla gärna hennes fina blogg!


Min tolkning av skissen blev så här och kommer
att hamna mitt ett uppslag i mitt PL-album. På
motstående sida sitter nämligen flera foton och
journalingkort med lila färg och hos Scrap-Perra 
fann jag detta fina ark ur den nya serien från
K-Designs fina papper som var precis det jag
letade efter (när jag sökte ETT babypapper)...


Övriga dekorationer: Blomma med hänge och
ljuslila dito från Prima, burlap flower från Slöjd-
Detaljer, washitape, etiketter och ljuslila washi
från en RAK, glashjärtan från Holland, chevrons
från Sodalicious, frantage, gesso, glitter, 
transparency från Hamble Studios, Inca Gold
 samt Pearl Maker.

Park Guell i Barcelona Part II


På detta uppslag ses många exempel på den 
teknik som Gaudí och hans lärjungar använde 
för att dekorera; sprucken keramik ihopsatt i
konstfulla mönster med hjälp av en sorts murbruk
av salt, kalk och vatten. "Trencadís" heter den
tekniken på spanska och det var speciellt en av
de konstintresserade medhjälparna till Gaudí
som specialiserade sig på detta.  


Ovan ses bilder från två av de tre figurer som 
dominerar trappan från huvudingången till Park
Guell upp till den tilltänkta hantverksbyn, och 
nedan flera foton på "vågiga bänken" och vi fyra
som åkte tillsammans. Här är inte många deko-
rationer; endast några flairs här och var och lite
washi för att hålla fast utskrifterna på vellum. 


Ja då var andra uppslaget för vecka 38 år 2013
klart. Eller någon som har förslag på något jag
borde lägga till??

Park Guell in Barcelona


Barcelona is so beautiful! Especially in summer 
and sunshine! We went there the whole family
in September last year and spent 10 interesting 
days admiring architecture, taking pictures and 
eating ice cream etc. I decided to make a few 
pocket journaling pages with the best pictures:


The first spread is from Park Guell, build by the
Catalan Architect Antoni Gaudí and his workers
between 1900 - 1914. it is now declared World
Heritage by UNESCO. We started off in the 
viaducts. I used journaling from Me and My Big
Ideas (Travel) and cardstock plus a few other
items from different other kits. 


On the right page of the spread I put a piece of
the city map to show where the park is located,
flairs and wood veneers (although I know it will
probably do no good to the pictures...) and a
little arrow I got at the local paper store.


I admit; there are not many decorations here; 
and that's because I think the pictures says it
all; they are big and shiny and I felt no need to
overdecorate them. Like it?

Project Life Week 2014: Week 6


Week 6 two things happened: I worked and I 
went to a crop! Apart from that it was dull all
days and raining and boring, so I didn't take
 many pictures att all. Most journaling cards are
from a Mini kit called Seasons and then there 
are some others from WRMK Captured.


Orange letters are from The Green Hyenas'
February Add-On-kit and flairs are made by
talented Swedish scrappers who shared them
with us (=the rest of us who can't make flairs..)! 


Today there's sunshine; so I hope to go to work 
and being able to take some bright pictures on
the way! Thanks for visiting my blog!

Wedding Anniversary with Maja Designs


Hi; The February theme in Creativicas' blog is
"something old, something new" and I came to 
think of vintage. These papers from Maja Design
has and old fashioned style but are new to me.


So I made a card for a couple who are celebrating
their 19th wedding anniversary soon! I used an 
"old" card folding (it means I learned to make it a
long time ago) and finally I decorated with some
half pearls and flowers from Scandinavian 
designs. 


I'd like to submit my card to the following 
challenges:

* Splendiferous Creations: Two or more
patterned papers (I have two on the front
 and another one inside)

* Craftitude #58: Anything Goes or Love

Project Life 2014: Week 4 & 5


These two weeks not much happened so they 
got a spread together. I continued using Becky
Higgins Mini Seasonal Kit, some cardstock and
colored journal cards from We R Memory Makers
 BLOOM to match the yellow colors of the sun
kissed buildings in Stockholm!


On this spread I have tried something new, 
participating in the February challenge at CiLi in 

I went ahead to buy two white pens to write on 
photos with and tried this on several photos.
I didn't try stamping on any picture. Yet.


What do you think? Have you tried this? If you
do; why not submit your page or spread to the
challenge? If you don't usually write or stamp 
on pictures; why not try once? 


Other decorations: wood veneers from Sodalicios, 
Studio Calico and Scrapdraken, fun eye 
stickers from TGR, fancy flairs (provided for us 
from talented girls in our own Project Life 
Facebook group), snowflake stickers from my
local book store and letter stickers.

Årstaviken


Årstaviken fotograferad en vinterdag i solsken,
fina papper i blå och grå toner från Echo Park
samt en skiss från Scrapidoo blev så här i min
kombination:


Skissen från Scrapidoo ser ut så här:


Ja visst; jag har vänt lite på skissen och så
hamnade ett element på fel sida, men hoppas
att det syns att jag har utgått från skissen!

Stjärnorna och gemet kommer från Amy Prior - 
jag fick ett litet paket med scrapgodis av henne 
efter att ha vunnit en utmaning på Allt om 
Scrap för en tid sedan.


Vill du också delta i skissutmaningen klicka
HÄR så kommer du till Scrapidoos forum 
som tillhandahåller med information!

Tack för besöket på min blogg!!

Project Life 2014: Week 3


Hi; I'm ready to show my third spread of PL
for this year and now I have started to use some
"real" journaling cards from Becky Higgins. They 
are from the mini kit called Seasons Edition. 


Monday was a freezing cold but sunny day I
spent in Uppsala working and wandering about.
Sun was so low it was hard to get good pictures.
Didn't understand how so many were able to 
go by bike to the Central Station! Of course I
went to the ultra famous cafeteria called
Ofvandahls and had my lunch there.


All week was cold and I worked one day with Isabel
in Court of Appeal of Svea in Stockholm two days,
and we had an unusual experience there. 
Several different washi tapes are used, some
wood veneers, a snowflake brad and some
snowflake stickers too.


Thanks for visiting; I'd be so happy if you left a
comment as well and please come back!
