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

Hi there......

I'm so happy (it is the third month in a row)...Thank you creative team.
Right now I'm working on the Paper Niche June kit... It is totally GORGEOUS,,watch up for sneak peeks this Friday. I have also done a sketch and page for the PN blog coming later this week.

Simple delight

Synne won the January challenge at Scrapbook Express, and as usual the DT  lifted the winner, I picked the layout you see here , and this is the page I made Simple delight.
I have used papers from Scrap within reach, BG chipboard letters, MM mini alphas, Prima bling and Grungeboard butterfly. Loved making the tags here, I used Tim Holtz stamps and distressing ink
Thanks Synne for letting us borrow your gallery,

February inspiration

We had a wonderful weekend scrapping with Bea at the Paper Niche this week end. Three days with classes and cropping, It was a working weekend for me, but I had time to play when the store was closed for regular customers.
Here in my inspiration LO for February at Scrapbook Express, lots of stamping and inking
The background is Bazzill stamped and colored in with distressing ink and a waterpen. The stamps are mostly from Tim Holtz, but also Inkadinkadoo and Autumn leaves (on tag)
I have also used Crackle paint, grunge paper and Grunge board. Gold leafing pen, Ribbons from May art, an old music sheet(Thank you Leslie) set rhinestones and a tiny piece of 7Gypsies tape (on back of the fragment)
The pictures here is a little blah..(scanned) I will try to get a better picture later on

Here is some detail pictures. You can click on both of the pictures for a close up. LOVE how the gold leaf pen work and the coloring in of the stamping came out here =)

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

KristineH won the DT challenge at Scrapbook Express in December, as usual we in the DT scraplifted on of her pages. Here is the beautiful original and here is a link to her gallery at Express. This is my lift. I used papers from MME

It is summer time.........

and in just a few more days and we'll be cruising over to Bahamas for a long weekend, and then a day after we come back our visitors from Norway will be here. We will have a full house for a couple of weeks but lots of fun. Both my sisters with husbands and kids are coming. We all have a great time together so we're all really looking forward to this. Hopefully we get less rain and storms these next weeks than we have had in the last 2 week. The weather here has been really nasty. We're planing some trips to the beach and waterparks

Needless to say my house needed and are getting a good cleanup before the guests arrives, so not much scrapping lately.

This one page is the DT's monthly scraplift. MightyB won our monthly challenge with this awesome page

Tomorrow is May 17th, the Norwegian liberation day and the biggest PARTY day in Norway.

In Norway this is a day for the children, they walk in their school parade, dressed in Bunad or other pretty clothes, waiving their Norwegian flags calling out Hipp Hipp Hurra Hurra Hurra, and singing the national anthem "Ja vi elsker" Usually they get to drink as much soda and eat as much ice cream and and hot dogs as the can put away. There also is games and more fun. Every city, town and village in Norway are celebrating.

We are celebrating in Davie at the new Seaman's church center. There will be parade, games hot dogs and lapskaus..Cakes and coffee, solo and ice cream. Lots of fun for every age. There will also be chuch service speaches and a greeting from the Norwegian king.

Afterward we're BBQ'ing at a friends house and the kids will swim in the pool and eat more ice cream =)

So to Norway and all Norwegians in Norway or any where else in the world

Happy Birthday !!!!
