The First Sunday in Advent 2010

Hello everybody- have a wonderful Advent - I have a feeling I'll have one - even though I'm still in winter lair!  But I've been scrapping!  I just love papercraft - scrapping and cardmaking and creative matchboxscrapping.  The first time a saw this Matchboxcalender by Tracie Hudson I just knew I had to make one - one day or two!

I've used paper from 3ndypapir - fantastic Norwegian paper.  Flowers from the drawer - metallcharmes from Unik Hobby - The Scrap Store in Hamar City!

I've painted the insidewalls! of all the 24 matchbox with white Pebeo High Viscosity Studioacryl - paper from Papirdesign on the matchboxfloor!

Hitch Fasteners from Tim Holtz - and I'm still using Archival Ink - color Sepia

Diamond Glaze from Judi Kins has been with me the whole project!

The walls are made in Bazzil - just Bazzil!  And the rubonswords are from Cosmo Cricket

Snowflakes from Spellbinders - white snowpaint from Adirondack Rangers.  I've made snowflakes in shrink plastic - enjoyable - try it!

Stamp from Kort og Godt - love their stamps!

All my flowers are beige or white - theese I've colored with Tattered Angels  Glimmer Mist Tattered Leather

The Cinnamon did I buy in Moscow, Idaho, USA last summer!

I've used Diamond Glaze on the God Jul / Marry Christmas!

Thank you for dropping by - have a wonderful Advent - and do not forget to enjoy...

A Grey Sunday in September

Hello - then I've been scrapping!  Last spring - Scraporama Stortreff - had a huge crop and I was there - of course.  Naboen - she's a wonderful scrapper - had made this basic papers and fabrics for a layout - I attended one of her classes at the crop and finished the layout now!

This is my mothers aunt - Ester Johansdaughter Holter Opsahl - on her - I'm not sure, but I do belive it is - Confirmation day.  Her family was Methodist and therefor I can't find the exactly date in any Norwegian Churchbook.  But if any - out there - know where I can find dates like that - I sure would be glad.

This little tag - yes thanks again to my Mother - she is an amazing collector - this is Aunt Esters handwriting - cute?

I usually buy white or beige scrapcstuff - so all the flowers you see on this page - they have had a makeover by me!  I've been using Wild Plum - from Ranger Ink - it's an Alcohol Ink that I had on a little spray bottle with some water.  Likewise did the leaves get a makeover - I've used Glimmer Mist's Cinnamon from MyTattered Angels.

 

Thank you so very much for reading my blog - I like that!   It's pouring down outside - silly rain!  Enjoy life!
