Memorykeeping | One Direction

My daughter went to see One Direction in concert with one of her friends. It was crazy! as you can imagien with 30 000 screaming teen girls :)

I am so very happy that we could give her this experience, because concerts are so magical. She is really a daughter of a scrapbooker as she took lots of photos and send them to me :)

The page is nothing over the ordinary, but i love that I found just the right project to use that Elle´s studio tag!

Stay tuned for the finished Re-scrap pages that are coming later this week!

Project Life 2013 | Week 21

Week 21

As I see my photos of this weeks spread on my computer screen I see that they are not at all good, but I hope you get the Picture (pun not intended!).

The stories | My new love had a new MRI done on Monday. He was nervous so I kept him company. We went and did a little shopping too :)

I had a meeting with the bank on Tuesday, got stuck in a parkinghouse, but cuddled my nephew.

On Wednesday I went to a seminar at my old University and held a short lecture. And that last picture is about that new Project that I haven´t talked about yet, but I can very soon :)

Inserts | I have two inserts this week. I just had to many stories I wanted to keep!So this is the first, where I just added one more pocket and 3 more stories.

Back of insert | My new love had a tough day and I tried to help him as much I could. Hello real Life.

And I am so happy it is rhubarb season!

The front of the insert | My daughter loves her new Converse ;)

Second insert | The second insert has two more pockets and hold 7 more stories.

Loving right now  | I love including photos that my friends and family share with me through email and texts. This week it´s my neices turn to get Chicken Pox :/ 

Back side of the insert | The backside holds nice stories of gatherings and liliacs in bloom. 

Second page | The second page holds a photo that I took of our tree in the backyard. I have never seen it before, but it looks just like a heart :)

My mom was here for a few days and it was so nice to have her here. 

Saturday was a great day, even though it wasn´t as sunny as we had hoped. My new love snapped the sunset photo and I journaled on the photo with my white pen. 

Sunday was Mother´s day for us and I got a cute cup from my darling daughter. But my favorite was when she came in to the livingroom that night asking me to take a picture with her :)

There you have it, week 21 in 2013.

Mother`s Day card

My little sister became a mother for the first time in February. I thought that I would send her a card for 

Mother´s day (which we celebrate the last sunday in May).

Project Life | Week 20

Totally late, but here is week 20 in my Project Life album!

Lots of garden and nature photos this week as the spring weather have been fantastic!

If you haven´t  noticed before I usually include a weekly photo of my baby nephew in each spread. This week I decided to have a whole insert with photos of him ;) My sister said that this (weekly photos) will be so cool to see in a year. Love that!

I had to include a photo to show the temps that we had, Friday flowers and a note from our date night ;)

Europe had their Eurovision music competition saturday and as my daugter wasn´t home that night we texted instead! 

I am loving to include my new loves photos and photos that are shared with other family members through emails and texts in my spreads.

What my father taught me

This past week WCS did a Father´s day themed week. 

I didn´t contribute projects since I was crazy busy last week. But I did however have it in mind and made 2 new pages when I had the time. This first one is about my fathers birthday back in December. We went to his place with cake and had a great time. I thought it was so cute that he had bought candles for himself ;)

I pre printed the wordart celebrate that is part of a digital kit by Ali Edwards called Birthday and worked around that on my page. 

This page has been a long time coming. I have had that photo forever, but just haven´t gotten to scrapping it. This photo represents so much for me in regards to my father. When I was young I remember weekend days, the sun shining into a smokey room where my father played his music on his record player. I have learned to love all sorts of music because of my dad. 

I played with water color to make the background paper for this page. I love it! I also painted the ombre card :)

Ever since I got my iPhone you can find me like this around my island :) I have my phone with me at (almost) all times and I love that I can snap pictures easily.

 

My new love keeps snapping photos of me "in action" :) I guess with all my Instagramming BCP thought that I could share a tip or two about phonephotography ;)

 

I can´t wait to begin the Phone Photography Project with you all!

WCS | June gallery sneak

Happy May 20th! It is sneak day for the June gallery at WCS. 

I know it is not at all easy to figure out a theme from these, but I love looking at sneaks myself and we all shared some today! Go to the WCS blog and you can click our names to see the sneaks! Or go to the WCS FB page. 

I had so much fun making these layouts and can´t wait to share them with you on June 1st!

Around here

 

 

Around here...

 

The weather has been fanatstic lately. We still have had cool nights and a bit of rain, but the winds are warm and the temps are up to almost 20. May usually has been warmer and then it gets cooler again in June. Weird.

 

Work has been tough. It has been all year really. I do like challenges, but sometimes you feel like you just stand there in the same spot and not getting anywhere.

 

I have been feeling un-normally tired. This has been been a sign of my depression getting worse in the past. But I hope that it is just a low period and that my body and mind long for summer vacation that is just a few weeks away.

 

The cats think they are in heaven with this great weather. They have been spending more and more time outside and just coming in for cuddles and food. The windows and door are usually open so they can wander as they please.

 

We are doing good. Things have been interesting with my new love spending almost all his time at my place and us getting to know eachother on so many levels. It is hard sometimes, but not at all hard enough to quit ;)

 

My daughter has been doing good too. Much much better all the time and that makes me ever so happy. School is out soon and I am sure she will enjoy sleeping in!

 

In two weeks my baby sister is getting married. We look forward to this immensly. It is always fun to dress up and party! The festivities is a 2 day thing with a welcoming party for their son on the next day.

 

How has Life been around you lately?

Project Life 2013 | Week 18 +19

Today I have 2 weeks worth of PL to show you. I fell behind in posting and thought I´d share both weeks so I get caught up.

Week 18

Pretty much a normal week with grocery shopping, dr´s appointments and homework. We spend Saturday with my sisters family and Sunday working in the garden. 

I made an insert holding 2 more stories. The first one with my daughters countdown to the One Direction concert she was going to. 

The other side holds the story of when my new love took his wheelchair through the Drive-in :)

Week 19.

It was warm this week and I could sit outside at night in a tank top. This is big! 

I saved the post-it notes my new love lovebombed my desk with ;)

The 2 other pockets hold the story of the concert my daughter attended. 30 000 screaming teenaged girls ;)

Different everyday stories; we chenged up my craftroom, took a great walk, jumped, babysat, the gorgeous tree in our backyard bloomed and my sister is 25 days away from her wedding day!

This week I had an insert holding 4 more pockets. I wrote a quote I read that week right beside a photo that showed it was 21 degrees one day that week. I still need to add journaling to the far right photo.

I had to include the big news and the last pocket holds a sample of another project I am preparing for. More info on that very soon!
