Candiiii~

Oh! Mah furend Wadbro has candy on the blog! :D

Oooh~ Kawaii stuff! I want! <3

Short Hair is Short

My new little frueeend~ X3

Got him at a construction-work-retail shop (it's to put naile etc. in, but works equally well for buttons, letters, etc.)

"Show me the dough"

Printed the recipe my friend gave me on a note-paper :3

---

"Kodachi-con 08"

Used the entrance-ribbon from the con (convention) as a embellishing ribbon on the bottom part of the LO.

---

"Jul"
(christmas)

Used the star-punch-out my dear host mom gave me a few years ago (omigawd, I'm getting OLD).

---

"Kort"
(short)
I think it's fun to scrap about things that are not holiday selebrations or birthday parties, but small happenings in life. This was a fairly big change for me personally, though. To FINALLY dare to cut my long hair short! X3 Go me!

Slow on updates.. but here's two LO's :3

Been too much going on in my life right now, not much time to scrapbooking, but I'm getting there now :D
Before I post what I'm working on right now, I thought maybe I ought to post these old ones..
.. Did these a few weeks ago.

"Att sy sin egen student klänning"

(to sow ones own graduation dress)

"Halloween"

n3rd - Scrappakalja contest :3

Another contest entry! :3
It's fun with challenges: it gives inspiration and at the same time you have to fallow a certain LO or idea, which sure is tricky some times. It's TONS of fun! ^^

This is the LO from Scrapparkalja's challenge.

And this is my entry:

"n3rd - du vet att du vill"
(nerd - you know you want to)
Sci-fi con in Malmö, march 09

I flipped the LO and added a third picture, since the ones with me and the Wolverine poster go well together and wouldn't be as fun without the other.
Ripped the corners of the red paper and inked with black ink.
Scraped the edges of photo and star paper with knife.

The theme for the LO had to refer to "livets goda" (the good things in life), and what tops storm troopers and Hugh Jackman's awesome boodie X3
(The "du vet att du vill" (you know you want to) is written in hacker script..)

"Åsa 25"
oct 2008

I got a gift card to Panduro Hobby from one of my friends for my 20th birthday, with which I bought plastic pockets for my scrap-albums, some papers, ink stamps etc. And, now I finally got to use my new green color stamp to give this LO a rough look.

Scraped photo edges with knife and sand paper.

Sown the buttons (which are bought second hand, of course) and extra stich in the bottom right corner with regular red-brown-ish thread.

Just a close-up.

"Glam"
spring 08
Fast scrap right before bed.

Not much to say.
The bg. paper (with lips) are old scraps, and not really as big as to cover the whole area behind the photos, I simply placed them so that it'd look that way ^^ (otherway it'd be a sinful waste of awesome paper! x/)

Was out of "a"s, so I used an upside-down "v" instead..

Honest scrap X3

I got a cute award from Metal_Minish (nerdscrap.blogspot.com)!!

A) first list 10 honest things about yourself - and make it interesting, even if you have to dig deep!
B) Pass the award on to 7 bloggers that you feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap.

Aaaalright~~ Here we go.. I'll try to make this at least somewhat interesting..

1) I to draw. It's the biggest passion in my life.

2) I'm afraid of irons.

3) I believe in God. (I do not believe in Jesus (so, does that make me a Christian or not?))

4) Mentally; I'm a 40years-old stuck in a 20-years-old body XD

5) I hate to lose. (and, I can be pretty bad about it..)

6) I -honestly- cannot hold a grudge.

7) I love to cosplay.

8) I love nerds. Yes, tall, scrawney guys with big noses and think glasses are just the way I want my boy to look like (how funny it is then that my BF's well built, good looking and has perfect eyesight XD)

9) I love attention..

10) I can be very "motherly" (naggy? bossy?) sometimes... Sorry.. -___-'' I mean well...

Oh, and which people to pass the award on to? My oh. my.. I don't know very many scrap-blog-people, sorry X/

Well, back to Metal_Minish, my dear partner in scrap. Teru always inspires me <3>

And, Linda. She has the cutest LO's, and I want a pug myself sooo~ bad!

And, Maria, which I found just yesterday. Her birds make me smile ^^

And, Nina, whose cards are just too damn cute!! x3

Other than that, I can't think of anyone.. sorry :C

Other than that.. sorry, I don't know ^^;

Magda's challenge - My room - Experiments

Magda's challenge:
I've always wanted to try a challenge - and here I am finally doing one ^^
This was the sketch from Magdas Scrapbooking: And here's the result:

"Dansa"

(dance)

summer 08

Instead of having paper, I used three pictures to create motion.

I didn't like some of the distracting elements in the back ground of the pictures, and thought I should have blurred it in PSP, but since it was too late for that, I simply used a knife and sand paper to erase that. Then I used brown ink to darken the corners to make the pictures stand out from the LO.

The pink glittery flowers and tiger were cut out of design papers.

A close up of the scraped pictures.

My room, as it looks right now, my creative kaos, gotta love it! <3

And, the little Muffin in the corner keeping me company <3

"Experimentärt, käre Watson"

(word pun)

spring 08

I printed the title on paper using my regular computer printer and darkened the corners with stamp ink.
To make the pictures pop out of the LO, I scraped the corners with a -whatever it's called in english- (nagelfil).

A close-up on the pretty white corners. :3

(and a robot sticking up. The robots were cut out of a design paper)

Update :3

I've been (as always) slow on updates. And, since I'm of from school today (thursday) 'til sunday I'll probably get some serious scrappin' done (yesterday I did two (I was ill and home from school)). So, before I have a zillion pages or so to post, I'll start out with these goodies from the past two months or so. I scrap once in a while.. I should get better on updating my blog, more frequently, with less pages (it takes forever when you have this many -__-'').. Ah, well, here they are..

As you'll see, I scrap in no order, but the pages end up in the right order in the albums, at least ^^; It's more fun to scrap whatever you feel like, and mix old photos with new ones.. Think I'd never finished my old albums otherwise... (mostly) it's more fun to scrap about recent things than stuff that happened 2 years ago..

"20"

(april 2009) The dog and I celebrating me turning 20! :3

Finally I got to use those Sassafrass papers I've wanted so long, and finally got my hands on at the scrapbook convention in Helsingborg. I cut out the "20" myself (big letters are ridicciously expensive), stiched the Xs and sew the buttons in place with yarn. Darkened the corners (of pretty much everything) with brown ink.

"qute xmas"

dec 2008

Green punchinella FTW! X3

I've been curious about using it ever since I first saw it, and it's really a great way to create texture and depth to ones LO. I löv!

I used Teru-kun's cute gift tag (which was on my christmas gift) as an embelishment! <3

---

"Ägg"
(egg)
spring 2008

Just a collage with the.. less common easter eggs people made last easter at Mangakai (the manga club I'm in). Pretty simple LO, the pictures take up so much of the paper, I thought it was no use decorating too much..

---

"Scrapbooking gone nerdy!"
fall 2008

(yeah, sorry, I stole your slogan, Metal_Minish ;) But, hey, that's what we do...)

"Jag är rent PIPPI i dig!"

(I'm all bird:y about you (it's a swedish word pun, doesn't work well translated)

feb 2009

Valentines day with my BF, and my two room-mates significant others :3

Don't know what happened here, really, I just wanted to do something cute.. guess it got kind of out of hands.. but I'm just crazy about all the cute scrap-owls that's available now, and wanted to use them.. so, well.. this's how it turned out ^^;

"LOVE"

feb 09

Mom and the dog, Lussan, at valentines day. A pretty "grown up" layout, to be done by me.

The pretty swirly paper's from "The Sweet Stack" (which I utterly adore!). I added buttons at the end of the swirls for an extra effect.

---

"Alla <3ans>

(valentines day 08)
feb 2008

Pretty simple. Made a board with some scraps of a "sweet" paper.

---

"{look!!}"
2008

The pictures make a cute little "movie" when put on a row. Put them together in PSP to develop them smaller.

---

"d 25"

sep 2008

Teru and I went scrap-supply shopping and I saw this adorable tool ribbon I really wanted to use as a texture to my LO's, but it was like 16 krs per meter for a 2cm wide tool. But, then I thought "hey! I have some black (and bright pink) tool left over at home since I sew my skirt two years ago!" And, that was 15krs/meter. But, instead of 2 cm, it was 140 cm wide! Think about that! You can get real cheap fabrics for your LO's if you just keep your eyes open!

"bokmässan"

(the book convention)

fall 2008

I wanted to use arrows and buttons as embellishments for this LO.

But, I'd never pay tons of money for buttons in a plastic container at a scrap-store or pre-cut arrows!!

It's real simple to make an arrow!! Just cut one out of cardstock!! And, I buy all my buttons at second hand stores..
