STM's challenge

I wanted to make something minimalistic, but am not sure if I nailed the style??

Anyway, it's a contribution to STM's "beautiful" challenge, and if I didn't nail the style, I'm still happy with the result. The small blue "dots" are tiny lavender corns, glued on piece by piece! It is also a new page to Sophies album!

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

STM # 12

Here is a contribution to STM # 12. This one is in Norwegian as is it to go in the album of Remi and I. The title says: "Etter alle disse år, ble det oss to til slutt". Translated to "After all these years, we became a coupple in the end".

STM # 11

Here is a contribution to STM #11. The picture is from my hen night, and is therefor in Norwegian. The text says "Det kryr av jenter", or roughly translated "girls are everywhere".

STM #10 by Monica

This was made by my friend Monica (see my latest scrap, the girl in the red hat!!!). She spent a weekend with me and kept me company as my husband was out on a road trip, buying himself a Harley! (Which I'm sure will make some fine scrapping images in the future!). Her contribution to STM #10 was inspired by the text "In a moment of sunshine", or "I en solskinnsstund", and the pictures are from a holiday in Croatia, when Sophie was only 6 months old.

STM #10

My contribution to STM #10 (This will not be put in the album of Sophie, and is therefor in Norwegian). The text says "A hat in red she has had".

A lift - challenge from STM

Details

This scrap is a lift from STM. The challenge was a bit more free than an origianl lift, as you could lift i.g the text, the picture, the embellishments a.s.o. I chose to lift all but the picture and the text and am happy with the result. I do feel something is missing but can't put my finger on what that is, so if you have any ideas, I'll gladly listen to them!

The lift is of Monica, who is looking at a dragonfly which is sitting on her shoulder. Yes, it is real, if you wondered, but half dead as the cat caught it and proudly brought it in!

I have been srap-shopping!

And how much fun I have had! I had a small list to follow and ended up buying almost all I wanted and more! The only thing you can't see here is the newest Quick Kutz machine which will be sent to me in July, but buying it now I also got an alphabet for it. Here are pictures of my new treasures!

Lace, labels, some spray thingy, crackle paint and something else.... (I admit I have no idea about twhat half of these things are)

Embellishments, brads and a paper thing to get that "old" look

More embellishments!

Alphabets and sweet labels

Even more embellishments

And here is a picture of it all together (please ignore my 7 month belly)

Ps: Can you spot the Quick Kutz alphabet???

Scrapping the music, bonus MGP

Scrapping the music challenges us to make a LO inspired by the Norwegian Melody Grand Prix finalists. I was inspired by the song Wig Wam had in 2005, called In My Dreams. The lyrics I chose you can see as follows: "Making all my fairytales come true". This LO is a contribution to the story "Once Upon A Time". The picture is taken at my wedding.

Here my husband is helping Sophie with her contribution. A bit too young to understand what it is all about, my husband and I found a picture where she has drawn her lip up like Elvis, and being Elvis fans, we were lucky to find a text from the Norwegian runner up in 2007. The song "Når vi blir berømt" ("When We Become Famous") by Martin and Johannes. Their song starts with the following text: "We shall become bigger than Elvis". So we personalized it a tad bit and changed out "we" with "I", resulting in the text: "Jeg skal bli større enn ELVIS" or, "I Shall Become Bigger Than ELVIS". This is also my husbands first (and last, or so he tells me) go at scrapping, and I must say I personally love the chain he has used on the photograph of our daughter. It is a bracelet, and the bracelet has been thread through holes made out of hearts! Not even I can get that creative.

So here he is embossing in deep concentration, with a possibly even more concentrated Sophie making sure it gets done right!

Sophie a little earlier, showing her daddy where to put the flowers.

Sophie picking out the flowers she wants to use, and placing them around on the LO.

The finished result

The bracelet, and some of the embossing. All of the letters are embossed aswell.
