About Me

Maybe-not-really-20-something-anymore from Norway who likes to scrapbook and take photos documentarystyle and dreams of photojournalism when not working as a photojournalist and that's pretty much what this blog is about. And I like it this way.



My Scrapbooking

Been scrapbooking since late fall 2005. Currently fortunate enough to be a part of the design teams for Hambly Screenprints, Fancy Pants Designs and Pencil-Lines. ♥

~~ Last Minute Christmas Gift? ~~

Posted by Ania On Thursday, December 23, 2010 3 lovely comments

Leaving you with a quick gift-inspiration today; If you’re stumped as to what to give people - why not create your own gift-card? Ours is a gift for the theatre – leaving the recipients with the option to chose their own date(s) before we’ll fix the tickets for them.

desember-23,-2010-3

Created with mostly Mistletoe & Co from Pink Paislee and some of the die cuts from Father Christmas.

Hope you enjoyed this one Smile The card here is a digital image by the way – I opened it in CS and wrote the text upon it SmileIt’s from the Summer Documented 2010 pdf from Elle’s Studio –  the kit is on sale atm I see – 20% off Smile

 

Take care…!

 

Oh psst, Anam is giving away codes for her Sketches2Scrapbook-app for iPhone/iTouch/iPad, check out this post Smile


Oh and by the way, I’ve shared some photography-tips over here (in Norwegian).

Har delt noen fotograferingstips her hos ScrappeHuset (tusen takk for at dere spurte! Det var skummelt og ikke minst lærerrikt på en gang, for det er så mange ting som en liksom har i hodet og som er vanskelig å skulle sette til ord liksom, og det er uansett flere måter å gjøre sånne ting på avhengig av hva man selv foretrekker/ser etter). Legg igjen en kommentar for siste sjanse til å vinne en superduperdiger scrappepakke, og sjekk ut alle de tidligere inspirasjonene!

Love you & looking forward to spend the Christmas with you and the kids :)

desember 12, 2010-20

Almost done w/the Christmas-stuff – only one thing left now, which hopefully will be fixed tomorrow early.

Now all I really need to do is to finish that Daily Dec thingie – I’m done with day 12 – so, like, 12 more to go (or 10, as there’s still 2 more days to Christmas :) ). (Note to Americans and stuff; we celebrate Christmas Eve – 24th :) )

Leaving you with a quick inspiration for these cold, cold days (darn it really is cold these days :p) – decorate your matchbox some :)

matchbox1_back

I made several of these last year, as they were my extra-gift-to-go for that Christmas. Small, cute and useful – great thoughtful hostess-gift and similar.

All materials are created with Crate Paper by the way, using mostly Snow Days. Pretty fitting, huh? Smile with tongue out

And speaking about Crate Paper – drop by this blogpost for a chance to win one of four collection-prizes! Smile

 

Good luck w/your last minute preparations if you celebrate Christmas! Smile

~~ DecDaily 6-11 ~~

Posted by Ania On Monday, December 20, 2010 6 lovely comments

Well, I’m almost halfway there with this mini – so it does look a lot better when it comes to my chances to actually finish this one, no..? I hope so..
(page 1-5 can be found here)

decdaily6a

Kraft cardstock & 3ndypapir – paper. And actual, sewn buttons! As usual, the numbered tags (and most other tags) are from Elle’s Studio. Opened, the pages measure 6x9”.

decdaily6b

For this one I decided to do my journaling on vellum and sew it onto the patterned paper.
I also have to admit – if you ask me to tell you off the bat what happened on the 6th, I cannot for the life of me remember anything. Or any other days/dates. Glancing at the pictures from that day however, helps to spark my memory. Like when I almost forgot to, uh, “help” the tooth fairy and got up at like 2.30am suddenly remembering this – scrounging in the dark for coins. *cough* (I didn’t write that in the page…I’ll let the kids believe in the tooth fairy for a few more years first Smile with tongue out). And the kids got new cookie cutter-shapes in their calendars today, so we had to test them out by baking “Kakemenn” Smile

decdaily7a

Day 7 – created with Fancy Pants Designs.

Even got to use their cool Christmas-brad here! SmileI have no idea how long it’s been stashed for, but it’s been a good while! Look at the cute little whimsical tree!

decdaily7b

Also used the lovely around the edge Martha Stewart-punch Smile
Oh, also – I adore the FP rub-ons – despite how old it gets, it doesn’t seem to go bad. Some might go slightly dry, but still transfer wonderfully. At least that’s my experience – until now. Maybe I’m jinxing myself by declaring this now, though Smile with tongue out

decdaily7c

Also, had two images I wanted to use for this day, but the design didn’t allow for both to be displayed nicely, so I made a quick flap for the extra photo.

decdaily8a

Day Eight – using Pink Paislee’s Mistletoe & Co Smile

decdaily8b

This page is about me handing in my last exam, and dropping by Ellen when doing so Smile with tongue out

 

decdaily8closeup

Closeup – love this collection, love this tree!

decdaily8c

I haven’t shared the backs of the earlier pages yet – but I do strengthen all the backs with extra patterned paper.

decdaily9a

I’ve used the Elle’s Studio number 9 before, and I couldn’t find my second packet of these Vintage Numbers, so I just had to substitute todays number with a regular chipboard-number. Got to use the old Fancy Pants chipboard-shape while doing so, so all is good! Smile Papers, brads and rub-ons from Fancy Pants aswell Smile

decdaily9b

That day was a busy one, and I just had one generic image from that day. Luckily I forgot to use this image from the day before, from a trip to the local library, so I decided to just add that to this day.

decdaily9c

I just like the way this rub-on was used..

decdaily10a

Day ten – and 3ndypapir as todays papers.

decdaily10b

A plane-trip + the very first meeting with the newest baby in the family.

decdaily10cdecdaily11a

More Fancy Pants Designs – I feel like trying to use up the rub-ons and stuff – I love rub-ons, but usually use only one or two then move on – sigh – need to get rid of stuff! Sortof! Smile

decdaily11b

I sort of cheated for this day; The rectangular image isn’t an iPhone-image like the other ones. However, I wanted to use this image as it’s a big day for us – the whole family (minus one) on my mothers side gathered to celebrate grandma’s 95th birthday. Note the sewn flap..

decdaily11c

It partially hides the journaling for today, made on an Elle’s Studio-Christmas-tag :)

 

I’ve encountered one slight problem. Despite the pages not really being thick (sure, I do use some 3d-foam and stuff, can’t help it!) it looks like the pages together will become a huuuge mini (11 pages equals like 12-14cm or so – not pressing the pages flat together). Hrm! Really need to ponder how to put this together when I have all the 24 pages! Ugh! Any suggestions?
