i am back and some Take Tweleve stuff

thank you so much for your thought and hugs that i have recieved though cyberspace this week. i held my grandmothers hand for well over 12 hours until she passed away yesterday afternoon. needless to say we are all very sad, but also relived that she is in a better place now where she is not ill anymore. 

♥

during my absence the Take Twelve Team posted their first layouts using the January photos! mine will be up here on the blog by friday or saturday, but you should really check out the others!

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!

yipiie!

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!
