Minibook pages, steam punk and lift of Luanna

First here is the pages from the mini album I made from the Paper Niche February kit, the pictures in the album are all of my Norwegian girlies here in Florida...Love you all =)

Luanna won the January DT challenge at Scrapbook Express so we in the DT picked a page each from Luannas gallery to lift Here you can see  the page I lifted and below here is my page

The pictures are from  2007 when some of us Scrapbook Express girls met for some scrapping and a lot of eating and chatting at Berits house near Stavanger Norway

This page came about after I was challenged (again at Scrapbook Express) to make a Steam Punk page using  distressing, the color blue, metal, rub-ons and stamps

What an awesome challenge ...Thanks girls, you really got me going here

Hmmm... got my hands on some of the new Pink Paislee papers...They are totally awesome right?

On this first page I have used ''Sweetness''

I have also used  BG letters that I painted with crackle paint, stamped and then added rub-ons on

The Memory frame has paper that I stamped, sticker from Kelly Panachi and PP rub-on. I have also used  stick pin from Karen Foster, rub-ons from Glitz design and Prima bling

The picture is of my grandparents Anna and Nils Dahl and is taken in the early 1920's

Here I have used the ''Old school'' paper line from Pink Paislee

I have also used abc chipboards from BG and SR, chipboard circle from Technique Tuesday, abc letters from Websters, Prima bling, distress ink and crackle paint

Picture is of Amanda ready for her first day in first grade

The new ''House of three'' line is just totally gorgeous

I have added Prima and Zva flowers and bling, Hambly rub-ons and some picket fence crackle paint

My sister probably thought I was crazy when I pulled out the camera one night and started taking pictures of her Orchid in the windowsill ... It was about nine o'clock at night and i just loved the way the evening sunlight was shining on the beautiful flowers

Here is some close ups of the first page

Two summer pages

Last weekend ACOT had a 3 day crop, I did not get to much on-line time (as usual) but at least I get 2 challenges done. Friday night I worked a crop at The Paper Niche which is always a lot of fun, I'm a very slow and easily distracted scrapper., but at least I got one page started during the crop

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

On this first page I used papers from The Girls Paperie, Prima and Zva flowers. BG and MM alphas, Glimmermist and Distressing ink. The picture is of my 2 nieces Oda and Sara

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

Here I have used papers from MME, LYB, 7 Gypsy and Bazzill

LYB stickers and AC thickers

The picture is of my oldest son Erik ...just a few years and inches ago

Thanks for taking the time to look, Have a wonderful weekend everyone =)
