Global Hobby and Pan Pastels

2012-01-22T03:28:00.000-05:00

The Design Team at Scrappeland was so fortunate this month, we where sponsored by Global Hobby og kunst a wholesale company selling craft and hobby supplies to craft, hobby and scrapbook stores in Norway.

Check out their blog here Din fantasi – fra hobby til kunst!

The products they sent us to play with was Pan Pastels, these chalks are just awesome, so smooth and easy to work with. There is around 80 colors, and lots of fun tools to go along with them

I did a canvas, where I used the Pan Pastels for the background and stamped on top stamps are by Donna Downey and Dyan Reaveley, I also added tape from Tim Holtz that I colored with Pan Pastels. I used Archival ink from Ranger

Here on this card I used the pan pastels for all the coloring after I stamped the images with ink from Memento, the stamps are from Heartfelt Creations, Dyan Reaveley and Stamping up.

Here is an article Renate has written in Scrappeland about the company and the Pan Pastels(in Norwegian)

We had the opening of the new Norwegian church/center. where Crown princess Mette Marit of Norway was attending. Then between working for Paper Niche, Willy's products, helping with catering and baking Kransekaker, creating just had to be put on the back burner

2011-08-26T20:49:00.000-05:00

I cant believe it is almost September and that the summer is almost over, time flies by way too fast.
Hope everyone had a wonderful summer.

Here is a few small peeks on what I'm working on for September

Little miss sunshine

2011-06-27T18:21:00.001-05:00

Here is my sneak peeks from Paper Niche's July kit.........
The full reveal will be this coming weekend

Custom box

2011-06-25T22:08:00.000-05:00

Decorated this box for one of our store customers using lots of Crackle paint, Prima flowers and Zva pearls, the pictures does give it full justice. It went from being very shiny and white, to looking very antiqued, cream colored and distressed. The customer is using it in a wedding for well wishes instead of having a sign in book. Love that idea. I used Picked fence mixed with a little Antique linen and added a layer of Rock candy on top (crackle paint colors) I also used Vintage photo distress ink

Between Willy's, The Paper Niche my family and Christmas there just was not much time left over

Yesterday I attended a Copic class at The Paper Niche with Sally Lynn Macdonald, it was totally awesome, she is such a sweet lady and a great instructor.

Here is one of the images I practiced on

This weekend we are doing a scrap-relay at Scrapbook Express, it was soooo awesome to sit down and get a page done. I used papers and embellishments from Glitz design, Prima, Basic Grey, MM, Websters , 7Gypsy and Mark Richards. I also used Distressing ink and played with my TA's Glam

The pictures are of my Niece Oda and was taken i Norway this summer. She is just totally adorable

We have also started a Facebook page for Willy's Products right here become a fan(or like) for product updates and specials (forward to Scandinavian friends here in the US )

The January specials you can see right here Once you try the Friele coffee and the jams there is no going back..

Copic Markers

2010-10-22T09:01:00.000-05:00

YES!!!!!!
Paper Niche just got in all the colors from Copic Markers, and I just had to take some home to play with. Sooooo.... ta da.... Here is my very first try... Liz ''Thanks a bunch for letting me borrow your stamps''

This is sooo different from using distressing inks and paints, but I love it, just need some more practice. In November I'm getting certified so look up for classes. Of course I could not just let the distressing inks sit there and look at me playing, so I used them on the tags =)

A few more

2010-10-18T21:58:00.000-05:00

A little mix of different things I did this month, this first page is a lift of this page from a Norwegian scrapper Katharina, she won last moths challenge at Scrapbook Express. I have used papers from My Minds Eye

This page is from a scraplift Swap at ACOT, this was so much fun and I'm totally ready for another one

This is the page I lifted from Milmomma , The papers are again from My Minds Eye and the flowers are from Zva, I made a sketch from this page, you can find it on my Sketch blog

Then we got some of the new Tim Holtz product in at the Paper Niche , and I just had to play a little, I used one of the new texture embossing folders and also the new Perfect Pearl misters from Ranger. The trees are painted with distressing ink and I have also used Picket fence Crackle paint and Distress stickles and Crystal stickles. IRL you can see more glitter and dimension from the stickles

Just a little inspiration

2010-10-11T21:16:00.000-05:00

I have done a couple of inspiration LO's using some of the new (and old) products we have in the store at The Paper Niche.

On the first page I have used new Making Memories papers and small alpha stickers, MayArt and Maya Road ribbon, Zva bling and flowers, Thickers and Bazzill

On the second page I used Tim Holtz papers, stamps, ruler ribbon and metals, AccuCut school die and bracket, 7Gypsy metal, MM mini alphas an old jeans tag and other miscellaneous odds and ends

All the pictures is of my Grandma Anna (Anne Gurine) whom I was named after and that I love and miss very much. She was a very active sporty lady who would tackle everything

Happy Halloween...just a little early

2010-07-18T22:21:00.000-05:00

It has been over 6 weeks since I did anything related to scrapping. First my vacation, then coming back to a very messy craft room that was left in a big hurry after I found out I had messed up just a ''little'' regarding the day I was leaving I could just not find any inspiration after getting home. That was until these papers arrived.. Funny I'm not a big Halloween scrapper nor am I a purple scrapper...BUT who could pass up these brand new yummy papers that just arrived at The Paper Niche from Graphic 45..... not me

Now I need 3 more weeks of vacation...just to scrap

here is some details

I also used Tim Holtz metals, bling from Prima, MM alpha stickers and Thickers from American Craft

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My trip to Norway was wonderful, it was so good to spend time with the family. Every one is doing great and I miss them all so much. Hope to be back next summer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next week we're heading up to Chicago and CHA.. Can't wait to see and touch all the new goodies. Have gotten a good look at lots of sneak peeks, and oh mine is there a lot of gorgeous stuff coming
