SCRAPPESTAFETTEN HØST 2008

Hello - long time since I wrote in this blog of mine. The world is busy - and so am I! I have a demanding job - that I love. I have hobbies like scrapping and stamping. I have my genealogy that are so exciting. And at last my little big border collie, CindyC. Ohh I almost forgot my son, my own little angel thar are apprentice's in a "nerded" store in our Capitol Oslo.

This layout are one of many in the "scrappestafetten" at the pink forum We were challenged to pick a color - I chose yellow - then we had to make a lift in vintage style - a layout made by Sessad.

I have used Grafton Maxwell Avn cardstock from Scenic Route Colletion The angel is from this collection - I just love the cardstocks from 3ndypapers - the two girls are just fabulous.

I liked the challange - thank you Ruffa!

The picture - taken in our garden at Gamleveien in Flisa - is not very good - and it's a dias. But I can still feel the taste of the sweets that my aunt from California had sent us - the taste of cinnamon - the taste of America.

My sister and I had got pink baby dolls and sweets from aunt S. It's early in the 60s - 1964 / 65 - and we were so proud.

I've used a lot of scrap - painted in yellow - some laces - the sweet are painted with alcohol ink and my ink pad Versafine in vintage sepia.

Have a nice journey - have a wonderful November - the month in front of Chistmas and December. Ho ho ho!

SUNDAY OCTOBER 5TH

Here's my card - white and beige. The Saint Nick stamp is from inkadinkados The cardstock are plain beige and white. The paper with golden letter - I have no idea which company made that - but it's lovely! I've used string, some old pearls, clear stamp from inkadinkados which I embossed white. I stamped on shrink"plastic" and I don't remember the name of the stamp, sorry! I had a wonderful time making this Christmas card.
