I was so inspired by the february photo box challenge over at our vintage affair blog.

This box would be a perfect new home for the old pictures I came across in and old envelope in the attic.

I used all brand new "sweetheart" patterned paper by 3ndypapir for this project.

:)

Some scrappy love :)

Just wanted to share some layouts I've made the last couple of days now, just before I'm off to NY.

Have you seen the old pictures above..

I found this in a box in the attic.

WOW! Can't believe these pictures are from 1917!!

My grand father obviously had a camera in the very early days, and took alot of very unique, candid shots. Finding all these old pictures, "just like that", made me over the moon happy....and I just needed to create.

This paper from sassafras was a perfect match. :)

Some really good memories.

Yes, I know I have scrapped this picture before....I just love this picture, and can't seem to scrap it too many times....LOL

A couple of cards.
Had so much fun creating these.
The card above are created with the new CosmoCricket UPcycle. :)


Have a great weekend!!!

HI

Hi friends.

Just one more Cosmo Cricket card, with the happiest Pixie dust digi stamp image and the brand new upcycle collection. :)

NEW Cosmo Cricket

CHA winter is just around the corner, and all the wonderful NEW lines from Cosmo Cricket can be seen HERE.

I tell you, it is all GORGEOUS!

Here are a few layouts I have made lately, with the stuff I so generously got from CosmoCricket. :)

Have a great week

:)

Calendar

Can't believe it, it is january 18th already.

The days fly by so quickly.

I feel like this year will go by in just a snap...

No, well, better enjoy TODAY, and don't think about how fast it will go by. ;)

Early in january I created this cute little Calendar with My Little Shoebox papers.

Super easy to make.

Just created the large envelope out of a 12x12 inch paper.

Printed the calendar on to cardstock, and cut out each coaster.

Created 12cards out of patterned paper, that would fit inside the envelope.

Made a hole in the envelope, where the calendar coaster could peek out.

Adhered the calendar coasters to the cards, making sure it would fit inside the "envelope-window".

voila!

A cute calendar to have by the phone, or on the fridge door, in the office.... or wherever you need a calendar.

Make Sure you visit My little Shoebox blog this week for sneak peeks of the NEW super-fun 2011 collections. :)

"Sweetheart" :)

Welcome "sweetheart".

Welcome 3ndypapir 2011 spring collection.

Welcome my friends,

Here is the brand new 3ndypoapir 211 collection

"sweetheart"

Repurpose, Reuse and a challenge :)

Hi my friends, and

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH

For all your wonderful, kind, encouraging comments on my new 3ndypapir release. You all made me so happy. More pictures will come tomorrow, so stay tuned. :)

....

.

Today wanted to share a little reuse project I have made.

I have this large pile of old blue jeans. I have had plans on using them forever. And the day before Edvins birthday I decided I wanted to give his room a little makeover.

I purchased a new cover for his bed at Home and Cottage, wich inspired me to dig in to the pile of jeans and make a new pillow-cover as well. :)

It made me happy to use my sewing machine for sewing fabric ( not just paper :P ) and what made me even more happy: Edvin was SO happy when he came home and discovered the little makeover in his room.

This pillow was made out of one of his favorite jeans that are too small now ...

a great way to reuse the favorite jeans.

:)

Oh, and not to forget:

It is my turn up having the saturday challenge over at the Cosmo Cricket blog today

:)

:)

My challenge is all about January.

Make sure you join the fun, and post a link to your january layout over at the Cosmo blog, for your chance to win a "Circa 1934" Kraft Kit
:)

Have a great weekend.

winter days

Hi my friends, and once again Happy New year.

Hope the first week of 2011 have been good for you all.

I feel like 2011 will be a good year.

I have started building a new kitchen in my house - old walls are torn down, sun and daylight will fill my new kitchen.

But it is a long walk to get there...

Here are a couple of scrapbooking projects I have been playing around with the last days.

Winter is here, and we enjoy the short, but beautiful winterdays. ...and my winter pictures need to be scrapped as well.

Had so much fun creating this layout ( above )

Used lots of cracle-paint ( white and "old paper") and glimmer mists and gltter glue on this ( it doesent show very well in the picture tho....)

On this layout I painted a rusty snowflake with white cracle paint - it made it look so cool and kind of frozen. :)

Have a great weekend
