from pin to reality

finally i can post yet another post where i have made something i have pinned on pinterest to reality! 

this time i have used a pin made to my words i love board. a board where i keep posters, quotes and sayings that really stroke a cordwith me.

i love to think i can just breathe everything, good and bad, in and just give out love instead of being mad, irritated or sad. 

and this is what i made. i painted a canvas black and used black foam stickers to spell out the words. it was rather hard to photograph in a good way. but i am sure you get it; black on black.

i do love how it turned out!

the first scrapbooking post of 2012

i thought i might share a few new layouts today. 

this first one is a story of how i glanced over my shoulder at the dinner table at Christmas and saw my (almost) 4 year old neice handling the iphone like nobody´s buisness :) it´s extraordinary to me to think that she doesn´t know technology that isn´t instant and available. she is a child of her time and we are children of ours i guess. 

just before my beloved printer died (it served me good the last 7 years!) i was able to print a few black and white photos from when i spend sometime with my princess nieces :)

these were taken with my new tripod and my husband behind the camera. i love that he allowed some white space so i could journal there :)

i rarely use patterned paper for my whole backgrounds but with black and white photos i think i can make it work better. 

ok, i´ll see you back here tomorrow for a new from pin to reality post! yay! 

magic monday

i have seen flocks of birds before, naturally. but since this past autumn i have noticed them more and more. large flocks of birds that fly together almost like large flocks of fish together.

one day late last week i glanced out the livingroom window and saw this.

and i knew that i needed to get up from my seat and take a look. then i witnessed this. 

and...it was magic.

i searched for flocks of birds and came upon this video that is great. just keep looking it gets better :)

project life week 1

ok, maybe i should add a project to my 2012 project list...

i will attempt to make a diy project life project and here is my very first week.

i am using photo page protectors with 4 slots, so one week is 8 slots. on the first page i added 2 large photos and then journaling cards right next to them. i added the food we have eaten this week. and a magical moment i am sharing more about tomorrow. 

the second page holds a few instax photos, the weather report, journaling and movie ticket stubs. 

i had fun using small bits and pieces that were left overs from other projects and my sewing machine. 

i look forward to see where this project takes me and i will also see how long i will keep it up. as for now i look forward to next week :)

and yes, i have tried the project life idea before, in may 2011. if you click over there you can see how i made my own page protectors and journaling cards. this time i have a few digital kits by becky higgins that i print and have a stash of on my desk. 

thanks for the visit!

i wanted to let youall know i am working really hard on planning my next blog hosting week at Write Click Scrapbook and i am having way to much fun :) my week starts monday February 6th! i hope that you´ll join me! can you tell the theme? ;)
