Friday fun

Another process video is up on my YouTube channel. The last one for the April Studio Calico kit. So there’s a ‘this-is-what-I-had-left’ video as well.

Oh, and a tour of my scrapspace. But this one is almost guaranteed to make you all nausea-like. I know I got all queasy from watching it. Might be I get husband to help me re-record it at one point. For now, if you don’t mind a rocking boat, here’s where I ‘work’.

Have an absolutely awesome day!

Monday morning process

So! Really having a hard time keeping up with everything. But I am trying. As always, if my blog is silent, my YouTube channel probably isn’t. Cause that’s what eating away a lot of my spare time.

Released two process videos today, both made with the April Studio Calico kit. One with a layout a bit more artsy than useall. Allthough truth be told, I think the only really big difference from my useall style, is the fact that I’m using white cardstock as my background paper, and added modeling paste. But I think it really makes a huge difference in the overall look. And I love the clouds. Need to come up with more excuses for clouds (and airballoons Smiley, der blinker ).

The second layout is actually a bit embarrising, well at least my daughter thinks so. Still I thought it really taught an important lesson about human curiosity and how well she handled a potential stressful and painful situation. Still, not her proudest moment. Not to happy about the titel though. I think I could have come up with a better one.

Have an absolutely fantastic day. I’ve decided I’m gonna Smiley

Molly Mo card and more videos

Wanted to share another card I designed for Molly Mo. This time it’s the cute cupcakes, that are just perfect for a birthday card. And so much fun to color in. You could do them all in similar colors or go crazy and make rainbow cupcakes. I decided the cupcakes should be made with a chocolate batter and then decorated mostly with pinks and cream whites.

Long time no see and Molly Mo

My poor blog has been so neglected lately, I apologise for that. Oddly enough, coming out of 6 years of insomnia, left me with less time, not more as I would have thought. And my blog ended up paying for that. But no more!

My youtube channel has been busy though. So if you were watching my process videos here, you should be in for a treat if you go to my channel. Here’s one of my latest videos.

I was recently asked if I wanted to join the Molly Mo design team, and happily said yes. She has so many really cute digi stamps. So my copics have been dusted off, and I’ve been loving every single minute coloring. Here’s one of the cards I’ve made with one of the great stamps. It’s Girls Night Out.

Copics used are: skin E000, E00, E01, E02, Hair E97, YR14, YR18, E19, Pants B91, B93, B95, Greys N3, N5, N8, Pinks R81, R83, R85, Lips R21, R22, R24, Eyes G21, G24, G28

CHA Winter 2013 wishlist

CHA vinter 2013 er overstået, og jeg har haft tid til at lave mig en ønskeliste, men inden jeg fortæller mere om den, så ville jeg lige kigge tilbage på min CHA 2012 sommer ønskeliste, som så sådan her ud:
CHA winter 2012 is over, and I have had time to make a wishlist. But before I speak about that, I’ thought I’d look back at my CHA 2012 summer wishlist, which looked like this:

* Pebbles Walnut Groove.  Bought. And I loved it.
* Echo Parks For the Record 2 Tailored. Bought digitally. Liked it a lot, but not as much as I had thought.
* Echo Parks Everyday Eclectic. Bought digitally. Agian liked it, but not as much as I had expected.
* Amy Tangerines Craft Pouch. Not bought. I wanted this for the mini stapler. Found it somewhere else.

Jeg var dygtig og købte IKKE Halloween papirer. Selvom det var svært. Tilgengæld købte jeg Dear Lizzy’s Fifth and Frolic serie, som jeg åbenbart helt havde overset. Er helt pjattet med den. Jeg købte en del flere digitale kits end jeg havde regnet med, og masser af washi tape.
I was a good girl, and DIDN’T buy any Halloween papers. Even though it was hard not to. I bought Dear Lizzys Fifth and Frolic collection, which I apparently had completely overlooked at the summer CHA. Absolutely love it. I also bought quite a few more digital kits than expected, and a lot of washi tape.

Nu til min nye ønskeliste. Med billeder hvis jeg kan finde dem på nettet.
Now for my new wishlist. With pictures if I can find them.

*The Maggie Holmes collection by Crate Paper (and Maggie Holmes Smiley, der blinker ). Love it. All of it. MUST HAVE most of it.
cha13_crate

*Crate Paper DIY Shop overlays. Awesome idea. MUST HAVE.
cha13_crate2

*Mod Melts. Another genius idea. MUST HAVE.
You can check out this product here http://cathiefilian.blogspot.dk/2013/01/our-new-product-line-mod-melts-for-mod.html

*Tim Holtz Distress Paints. I never really got into the distress stains. But the unique properties of the distress paints makes me want at least some of the colors for my mixed media work.
http://rangerink.com/?product=tim-holtz-distress-paint

*Webster’s Pages Composition and Color by Allison Kreft. Another gorgoues paper collection. And I’m loving the washi tape. Might get the papers digitally if possible.

cha13_03

*Amy Tangerines Yes Please collection. Specially the layering/transparent letter stickers. Might get the papers digitally. And the stitching templates look rather interesting as well.

cha13_04

*Simple Stories Vintage Bliss. Looks very very interesting, and I might just NEED this collection as well.
cha13_05

So there should be a bit to spend my money on until CHA Summer 2013. I’m still dreaming about the Dylusion spray inks. But I have so many glimmer mists, Mr. Hueys, Perfect Pearl mists etc. Need to get those used first. I think. I will try anyway Smiley

Og så vil jeg meget gerne, når jeg scrapper, det næste halve år:
And the next 6 months, I’ll be trying to:

*Stamp more. Preferably on every single layout.
*Use spray mists. A lot. Get those bottle used up (so I can buy some dylusions Smiley, der blinker ).
*Use some more embossing powder. It’s a fun technique. Just do it!
*Shop my stash before the store. I was very good at this in 2012. I’ll keep up the good work for 2013 – hopefully.
*Not buy so many washi tapes. It should have been: Buy no washi tapes at all. But I know I can’t keep that promise to myself.
*Incorporate some copic colored embellishment into the layouts.

Monday videos

Ja, i dag er der 3 videoer. Den første er dog udelukkende snak, og ingen scrap. Jeg er også begyndt at abonnere på Studio Calico kits’ne. Tanken er at når jeg modtager mit kit og addons, går jeg dem igennem på video, snakker om havd jeg kan lide og hvad jeg knap så godt kan lide, og eventuelt hvordan jeg har tænkt mig at bruge dem. Og i løbet af måneden filmer jeg så de layouts jeg får lavet med mit SC kit. Jeg vil dog bruger pynt og papirer fra mit eget lager også. Og vil prøve at lave nogen ikke-SC video’er også.
3 videos today. The first is only talk and no scrapbooking though. I’ve jumped on the Studio Calico bandwagon as well. And I was thinking, I’d go through the kit and addons when I get them, talking about what I like and like less, and perhaps how I intend to use them. Then during the month I’ll film the layouts I make with the SC kit. I’ll be using papers and embellishment from my own stash though.

Her er det første layout jeg lavede. Hvor jeg faktisk frik brugt nogen af de papirer jeg havde det rigtigt svært med.
This is the first layout I made with the kit, using some of the papers I had a real hard time figuring out what to do with.

Og her er det andet layout, hvor jeg bruger en del fra mit eget lager også.
And here’s the second layout, where I’m using quite a bit from my own stash as well.

Rigtig god mandag.
Happy monday everybody.

Okay, godt klar over det ikke er mandag, men jeg har en del video’er på vej, så de vil poppe op på min youtube kanal og her i løbet af de næste uger.
So I know it ain’t monday, but I have quite a few videos coming, so they’ll be popping up on my channel here and there, during the next few weeks.

Det her er det sidste layout jeg filmede, til mit Sommerferie 2012 album, som endte op med at fylde 50 layouts. Jeg har brugt en del fra Pebbles Walnut Groove, lidt fra My MInd’s Eye, en transparent fra Prima og nogen rester fra en manilla tag.
This is the last layout I’ve filmed, for my Summer Vacation 2012 album, which ended up containing 50 layouts. I’ve used a lot of Pebbles Walnut Groove, some My Mind’s Eye, a Prima transparency and some scraps from manilla tags.

lo282_01

Håber i alle har en rigtig god weekend. Vi ses på mandag med mindst 2 nye videoer.
Have a great weekend everybody, and see you monday with at least 2 new videos.

Vi har bare været syge hele sidste uge, og jeg fortsætter åbenbart ind i denne uge også. Og jeg er bange for at man kan høre det på min stemme i video’en. Håber den er til at forstå, på trods Smiley
We’ve been quite ill here at home this past week, and it seems I continue the trend into this week as well. And I’m afraid you can hear it on my voice in the video.

Det her er et af mine favorit layouts for 2012. Jeg er vild med farvekombinationen, så det er nok ikke sidste gang jeg bruger gul, orange og pink.
This is one of my favorite layouts for 2012. I love the colorcombination, so definitely not last time i use yellow, orange and pink.

Scrapbook Process 04

Så er hverdagen ved at være tilbage her i huset. Håber i alle kom godt igennem nytårsaften/nat. Her havde vi en superhyggelig aften, med en hund der ikke så meget som blinkede af alle bragene. Dejligt at se træningen kunne betale sig. Denne uges layout handler dog om katten. Synes det var på tide hun fik lidt scrap tid også Smiley
The ‘every day’ routines are coming back to this house. I hope you all came through newyears eve/night safe and sound. We had a wonderful evening with a puppy that didn’t even blink with all the loud sounds. Wonderful to see all the training payed off. This weeks layout is about the cat though. Thought it was about time she got some scrap time to Smiley. 

Har brugt en del rester fra Pebbles Walnut Groove, og lidt fra Echo Park og My Minds Eye. Det hele blev lidt mere ‘skævt’ en jeg egentligt havde tænkt mig, men jeg er nu okay tilfreds med layoutet aligevel.
Used quite a few scraps from Pebbles Walnut Groove and a bit from Echo Park and My Minds Eye. It all ‘tilted’ a little more than I had intended, but I like it anyway.

Happy New Year

Rigtigt godt nytår allesammen
HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody :)

Idag er det endnu et layout til min Sommerferie 2012 album der scrappes. Jeg er endelig ved at få det færdigt. Når jeg når så langt er der et sted mellem 40 og 50 layouts i albummet for den ferie. Tror ikke jeg laver helt så mange layouts for næste års ferie Smiley, der blinker.
Today I am scrapbooking yet another layout for my 2012 summer vacation album. I am finally nearing the end of it. Once it is done, I’ve made somewhere between 40 and 50 layouts for that vacation. Don’t think I’ll do quite as many for next years summer vacation Smiley, der blinker.

lo278_01

Jeg har brugt Echo Park og Zoe Pearn papirer. Jeg kan ikke huske hvor det blå woodgrain papir er fra. Skyerne er også fra Echo Park, skåret på min Cameo. Jeg kan virklig godt lide de stærke sjove farver på layoutet, det fanger stemningen fra dagen perfekt.
Using Echo Park and Zoe Pearn papers. I can’t remember where the blue woodgrain is from. The clouds are Echo Park to and cut on my Cameo. I really like the fun bright colors of this layout, it captures the mood of the day perfectly.

Tak fordi du kiggede med og jeg håber i alle har en fantastisk og sikker Nytårs aften. Håber på et godt og sundt 2013.
Thanks for watching, and I hope you all have a fantastic and safe New Years Eve. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2013.
