Lanterns and layouts

Really cold and clear here in oslo today. I bundeled up in my cozy shawl, found my turqouse mittens and went out. Frozen leaves and crisp ice-crystals made cold crunchy sounds when I went to a beautiful, little café and shop /hairdresser in my neighbourhood. Had a caffelatte before heading off to school to pick up my kids.

So yes, I have been scrapbooking lately too. :) Loads of inspo out there huh?
This time I was really, really inspiered by the challenge over at The Creative Type-blog. The challenge was: Mix it up ... and so I did. I mixed the lovely Type-overlay (made by Christina Clouse the awesome guest over at TCT-blog ) with some dymostrips and some old alphas by Making memories (and the red ones ...unknown)
I have Mixed English and Norwegian - I have also used the most beautiful digi-elements by Rhonna Farrer so this is a mix of digi, papers, types, languages..... Yes, I had TOTALLY FUN making this. :)
Thanks to the Creative Typists. :)

Seems like I tend to use green on my autumn layouts lately..... Made this LO inspiered by the challenge over at the brand NEW SiStv-challenge blog " The haute Spot".

Loved the idea of getting some math into my LO. So here is my take:

1+2+3+4=10 reasons why I love you. :)

We have also had this beautiful little lantern-walk-tradition here. On tuesday all the kids 2.-4. grade at school was out in the afternoon, walking with their beautifully made lanterns.....to lighten up a long, dark season. November can be a dark and slow month here in norway, so this lantern-tradition is really a good and beautiful thing. :)

Hope you'll all have a great weekend.
