Memorykeeping | Together

Here is a layout I made with the sketch that Amy Prior made for a swedish scrap magazine Allt om scrap. The sketch had a lot of elements, but I made the page a bit more simple so that it would be more me. 

Fun fun!

Memorykeeping | Slow

I did some supersimple pages the other week and thought

 I´d share them now. What hit me as I uploaded these is that they are very minimalistic for being scrapped by me. But I guessI tend to do both. Right now I am a little sparce with product on my pages. 

But I feel that I am getting what I want; photo and words.

Here are a few of my new love´s first iPhone photos and I love to see the world through his eyes! And that was the purpose with this page, that was all I wanted to say :) that is why it is so very simple. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Project Life 2013 | Week 30+31

For some reason I skipped my weekly Project Life post last week, so I am combinding week 30 and 31 in this one. 

Week 30 had some awesome weather! We soaked up summer in many ways. My new loves nephew came to visit and they went to the beach and to the pool. We were outside all the time, in the garden working or just reading. The sprinkler worked wonders! 

We also drove my daughter to her bilogical fathers house where she´d be spending a few days getting to know that spanking new babybrother of hers ;) He live in a town nearby that also get a lot of tourists in the summertime so we spend some time walking around in the town and that is where I picked up that cute postcard with the houses. I tucked a few photos and some words underneath that postcard. 

I spend a whole workday at a secluded small beach...yes, it is true! We had so much fun taking the kids there and spending a whole day there eating snacks and lunch. After that I spend some time picking berries in a co-workers garden, so we could make some jam later that week. 

Sunday was my challenge day in the Big Picture Classes class The Phone Photography Project and I took a screenshot of my bio. 

Week 31

We met up with my sister and her little family for a doubledate at IKEA this week and I loved snuggling my nephew! I also like to include quotes that speaks to me during any period of time. 

We have stray cat coming back to our house for a month now. He is scared and very hungry!

We had a run to the city since my daughter suddenly woke up with a giant lip one morning (!) she was probably having a allergic reaction of some sort and the anti-histamines worked great. That is the story of that first left card. I didn´t want to add a photo to the front, so if you open up that pocket there is one underneath. When we were done at the doctors office, we went on a quick thriftshopping spree. It´s funny, sometimes there is not much to see and then there are days like this one, when we find some really great deals!

We had a beautiful friday including Friday Flowers, a nap and great food!

The numbers over there is the temp we had on satuday. It was crazy hot!

Ok, that´s a quick 2 week share!

BPC | The layouts

For the BPC class I just finished The Phone Photography Project there was a challenge to do something more with your photos you take on your phone. I made 2 examples. 

First this one of my then very new nephew Viggo. I often use my sisters photos that she either upload to her social media or text me for my PL album. I love how modern technology helps us feel closer even though we live apart!

I also asked a few of my online friends from all around the world to help me with the next layout. I asked them to post a photo on one specific day during april of this year and write shortly about what they were up to. That way we could all follow the hashtag and see what everyone posted! Then I just made a collage with their photos, added their country and printed it out. Instagram totally makes me feel like we all live in the same town ;) I am pondering doing a year-long project with this next year!

I feel that my iPhone 4s takes well good enough photos for me to scrap with!

I had fun, both with the challenges and as in the role of an instructor!

 

Summer bucketlist | Throw a dinnerparty in the garden

We wanted to throw dinner parties in the backyard and we can check that off our list.

 

It is fun to gather people together and we want to do that much more. Both my new loves family and mine have been here much more now. Even if it is just for a few hours of talk and coffee (and baby snuggles!). This all makes me very happy! Next time we have a bigger gathering is August 31st when my daughter turns 14!




 

WCS | August gallery

Happy August! I can´t believe that July is gone already! What can be better than to celebrate a new month than with a brand new gallery! WCS has a new one today! 

The theme was our go-to design. 

This theme was interesting for me. I love themes that make me think! My go-to design when making scrapbook pages is a white background, more often than not I will use a 4x6 photo or at least a bigger sized photo, I often use the rule of thirds and try to make a diagonal line as in my page here. It makes a page pleasing on the eye. Lately I have been using a bit of layering but use much less materials really. On most pages I use my own handwriting or as in this case I print my journaling since I am a hybrid scrapbooker. So, white background, one photo, composition, layering and hybrid journaling.

And the story behind the layout? My daughter has her first real summer job this summer! Also, this is her birthday month, she turn 14 (!) on the 31st!
