Make Time Fun (Card Week day 6)

A new card for mum, my biggest fan :-)

Patterned papers & stickers: Echo Park. Fabric covered brads: Basic Grey. Dies: Quickutz/Lifestyle Crafts. Other brads: unknown

I had just scraps left of the Echo Park collection Creative Agenda to make this card, but when I dug into my old stash, I found some old Basic Grey fabric covered brads which was the perfect match!

I also pulled out my old Quickutz Squeese and dies, to make some flowers - a great way to use scraps and have matching ambellies

The design for this card is taken from the right part of this sketch at Let's Scrap:

Let's Scrap and Feeling Sketchy has teamed up this  month for International Scrapbooking Day
The twist is to play at both siites :-) Here is yesterday's post where I show my take on the Feeling Sketchy challenge.

Have a happy Sunday and please come back tomorrow for the last card in my Card Week - a Just Because card :-)

Family memories - a Christmas two pager

Hi folks!

Have you enjoyed the holidays so far?
I have - I'm lucky to be two weeks off (doesn't happen every year) and this Christmas we have had lot of family visiting - busy, but fun.

Christmas Eve is one of the most important days in Norway - that's when the family dress up, have a lrge meal, and open presents. This Christmas both my parents were with us, that hasn't happened since they got divorced in 1988 (!), along with my dad's wife, and one of my cousins.

Cardstock: Bazill. patterned papers & cut outs: American Craft. Cut files: Silhouette

Of course we missed my FIL, who lived with us until he passed away in July, but had a toast for him and wished him Merry Christmas in other ways (I'll scrap about that later).

Individual pages:

Sweet hubby gave me a Silhoutte Cameo for Christmas - it has been on my wish list for two years +, and I have been practicing ever after since. This lace heart, along with the words in the title, are some of the first attempts.

I rarely use holiday season lines for my creations, but this "be Merry" collection, from AC was just up my alley - they came in the December Creative kit from My Creative Scrapbook kit club

I founde the design for this two pager at Let's Scrap - sketch 12-24-14:

As you see I followed the sketch pretty close,


Have you scrapped your holiday photos yet?

Caves - a two pager (!)

Just down by the hotel DS12 & I stayed at in Corfu, Greece, this summer, some locals offered tours to the nearby caves in their small boats. Small boats were great, as we could go into the caves where the bigger boats couldn't. It was so worth it, beacuse the caves were beautiful: beautiful with their rock colors made from minerals in the water over thousand of years, stalagmites and the beautiful light (click on photo for a larger version).

Papers & stickers: Echo Park. Alpha: AC. Washi: Freckled Fawn. Flair: Basic Grey. Buttons & clips: unknown

For details, please scroll down :-)

I have had these photos laying around for a while, but as I wanted to use more than just a photo or two, I hadn't decided how to scrap them. But when I saw this lovely sketch at Let's Scrap, it was obvious.

I haven't made a twopager in ages, but it wasn't that hard with a great sketch! When was the last time you made one?
