Fancy Pants Design July Challenge

It's been forever since I have done a challenge, but when I got a new Fancy Pants Design collection I just had to do something. I started on this layouts weeks ago but for some reason I just cut the pieces and never stapled it together until yesterday.

Here is the sketch

Under Bordet - Citrus Twist Kits

Sunday I had my first blog post at Citrus Twist kits and here is my layout based on the Sunday Sketch. 

I have used two pictures that are not completely identical. I have edited and printed them in different sizes and color.  The title Lek Under Bordet is Norwegian for Playing under the table.

KIT USED: July Main kit 
NON-KIT ITEMS: Paper doily, tags and blue alphabet

When I work with sketches I often take a quick glimpse and then put it away and then when I am halfway finished I take another look at the sketch to see if it resembles. Sometimes it does and sometimes it takes on another direction. This time you can se where I have gotten the inspiration from.

A few close ups

If you would like to play along, create a layout based on this sketch and post it in the Citrus Twist  gallery ! Have a great week.

My FIRST PL 12x12 spread made for Inzpira magazine

I have made a few 8x6 PL spread, but I have stayed away from 12x12 until now, the reason is that I haven't found a good way to take my style and move it into 12x12. I want all my work to have my signature and I haven't found that for PL yet...  So this tutorial..... Yes - I made my very first PL as a tutorial for Inzpira magazine... isn't really my style, but I hope to find it in a short while - because I am working on something PL for August, just wait and see.

It’s been 9 years since my wedding and I still have lots of photos lying around from that day, waiting to be dealt with. If you are in a Wedding Mood or like me, have gotten married years ago and want to do something about all your photos then Project Life or Pocket Scrapbooking, it’s something for you. There are a million of different kits out there you can buy, but what also can be fun is to mix those kits with all that stash that you have been hanging on to for years.

1) First you choose the kind of pockets you want, I have chosen two different ones from Becky Higgins.

2) To make your own transparent journaling cards, you need a corner punch, a transparent paper and a transparent sticker. Cut the plastic a little smaller than 3x4 inches, use the corner punch and stick the adhesive doily to the plastic.

3) You can also get printed transparent papers called overlays, so here you again cut it in a little smaller than 3x4 inches for them to fit in the pocket.

4) To make you own paper journaling cards you can use a 3x4 punch by W R Memory Keepers or a die in the same size and use a paper that have been lying around forever. The paper used here have been lying unused since 2009 (the same goes for the printed transparent paper)

5) Fill the pockets with photos, homemade cards, and journaling cards you have bought. If you have many photos in different tones of color – edit your photos In black and white or sepia. 

6) To photograph you pocket pages take out all the journaling cards and photos.

I am so happy that my kids get along pretty well, here they are in the little pool in the garden we have set up for the summer. Pretty cold, but they don't min.
