FØRSTE FREDAG JANUAR

Scrapbook Express - the pink forum - had

"half holidays" scrapbooking relay race

arranged by Ruffa

I always do the relay races, al though I'm a very slow scrapper. This picture is taken by a photographer in Elverum. The Holter family has a lot of familygroup pictures.

And I am - one lucky girl - having them all

We had to redo a sketch of Ingvild Bolme She is just marvellous with flowers. Im not.

We had to start with white cardboard and the paper should be in only one color.

I used The Wonderland Collection from Cosmo Cricket. I love their papers.

The swirvls! are from Inkadinkado - they are so fragile! Embossed in white.

The flowers are covered with clear and golden embossing - having made some retro flowers in The Wonderland Paper. The pinebranches are made by a lovely McGill punch Covered with clear stickles from Ranger I also used some Prima Bouquet Flowers painted in Cranberry color with Acrylic Paint Dabber from Adirondack The letters are Maddie from QuicKutz painted in Cranberry color too. I've inked all parts with my best scrap friend; Versafine Vintage Sepia.

Thank you for beeing with me to the end - have a wonderful Evening!

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!

18. MAI

Endelig! Finally!

It's a sketch from Ett Trykk. The scrapmagazin has contests and this sketch is for June 08. But I never could make the deadline at 20. April so I finished it yesterday.

It's my mother - Grethe - she's taken pictures at a photograf - probably at Flisa, Åsnes.

I enjoyed doing this layout. I'm leaving a little bit of my soul in it.

I have used Basic Grey's Coellction pack; sultry.

And 3ndypapir.no by Gudrun Loennecken and Lene Solhaug. Marvellous paper!

Flowers by? brads from ? mesh by?

I do not know! Because everything I buy I put in diffrent zip lock bags and thats it! And then I throw away the "garbage" Sorry!

The flowers are glazed. The brads, they were white, are embossed pink and then glazed with diamond glaze. All the letters are pained white and glazed and sprinkled with embossing powder. The wellum are driven through in the Cuttlebug and driembossed and distressed with green distressed ink. The pin are bought for sewing and the pearls are very fake. The "roll" I've made - much wather and distress ink - the metal envelope and heart I've bought at Unikhobby here in Hamar. The lace are from ... you tell me!

Thank you for looking at my mom!

OLINE PERSDATTER FRA LØSSETOSDALEN

This is Oline, Lenes oldest daughter

My mothers cousine, Nils, gave me this familypicture of Oline and her family.  It has been at Fabrossetra in years.

Per died and Lene married Per Person, 22. jul 1846 - 21. feb 1925, from Løssetosdalen in Osdalen, Osen.  They had four children.
There were a brother Ole, born 18. Jan 1858.  He died 16. Feb in 1859.  Thats why Oline is oldest.

The lady on the second layout is Lene.  Picture taken at Hamar before they left for The USA. Familypicture taken in Moscow, Idaho after 1903.

Its not a god scanning.  I'll put in the pictures some day.  If you know anything or have any connection with this family - The Ulvevadet Family - let me know - thanks.

FIRST SUNDAY IN APRIL

This is my last layout. It was a challenge at Scrapbookexpress during Easter. But as the slow scrapper I finised it this week. Its two of my aunts. Their at a wedding i Osen. I have used "scraps" painted them in white, some new brads and flowers. The text are from The Digital Curchbook that I saved and printed. Pretty cool to use things thats not "up to date" any longer and painting them in a color you are using an the layout. And then I love bright colors.

Last week has been fantastic. Yesterday I was together with scrappers and stampers at a XXX in Hamar. I had a splendid time getting to know new crafters and their work. It gives new idees and new spirit! And getting together with the ones I know. Its a bunch of great girls who gives a lot of inspiration. Thank you Kirsten from Rubberstamps, for doing this to us (me)

Have a nice Sunday, its snowing / raining here today so I lit my old stowe, it was freezing.

PALMESØNDAG - PALM SUNDAY

I've tried so hard to make a layout for the Sketchcompetition at Scrapbookexpress. But no! I am a slow scrapper! I'll finish it later.

Here are my Grandparents. They are newly engaged as you can see at the picture. She lived in Osen, Åmot and he lived in Elverum. They got five children and settled down at Flisa, Åsnes.
