Some odd layouts

Hello!
Today I'm sharing four random layouts with nothing incommon really. First is a selfie of hubby and I in the sofa infront of the TV one Friday evening.  The photo of the layout is a bit blurry so it's hard to see what is on the small tags, but it is the many TV-shows that we enjoy watching right now. The layout is meant to be kind of a time capsule so that we can look back in many years and remember the many fun shows we watched back in 2014. I love crime/police TV-series and sci-fi!

 
Here is my son bathing in a plastic container in the shower. I love the colored wood veneers, I colored them with my ProMarkers.
 
 
This is the most fun photo of last year! The kids went to an amusement park in Junsele with their grandparents and there they had one of those screens where you stick out your head and become a part of a fun scene on the other side. We have laughed so hard at this photo so may times already and I'm so happy to have it in our album!
 
 
Here is my son on the kitchen counter, again. I was home with him a couple of days when he had a cold and he was allowed to sit there and have pancakes while I made them. Needles to say he wants to do that again, but some things you only get to do that when you're ill.
 
 
 I hope the sun is shining on you today! Tomorrow it's Friday again!

Haul from Mei Li Paperie

Hello again!
This was my first time ordering from Mei Li Paperie in Hong Kong and I will come back! For all this I paid US$ 52, and it was free shipping from the other side of the Globe!
 
 
This is a secret grab bag of 20 papers from Crate Paper that I bought for US$ 8. I'm very pleased with the selection!
 

Beach 2013

Hello! Today I'm sharing three layouts from the beach! I got so many lovely photos on those beach visits I could easily fill a whole album, but I think I'm done now,  these are the last papercopies I had ordered and I have no good reason to go back and order more. 

This past weekend though, we did go to another beach and took amazing photos in the spring sunshine so there will be no lack of beach photos from 2014 to work with :)

Bead melt

Here is my result on the bead melting that everybody's been doing lately! I've used the pearl brand Hama and they didn't melt perfectly, but I'll be back soon with the Perler beads  instead,  they just haven't arrived yet!

Extra from CiLi in Paper

Hello again!
I made an addition to my CiLi in Papers order hoping to get it on the same shipping as my huge order, it didn't, they had already shipped it, but they were super kind and gave me free shipping, I guess I'm a good customer :).
 
This first project is such an amazing find! I love it! I have die cut alphas in this material already with my Cuttlebug and they are perfect! I will use up those 15 sheets in no time!
 
 
 I bought two roller stamps, one with date and one without.
 
 
And three papers from October Afternoon!
 
 
Pew, I really don't have the time to work, or sleep or eat or anything other than scrapbooking! And I will get new paper copies today! I will scrapbook through the night! See ya!

Haul from Cili in Papers

Hi there!
This is my big birthday haul from CiLi in Papers, my favorite Swedish shop at the moment.
 
First I bought two of these Misc Me! sets from Bo Bunny; Modern Miss and Happy Tail Cats. They are lovely!
 
 
These are from Studio Calico's Essentials. I'm NOT happy with the quality of these! The cork is super thin, the chip board is poorly cut and the flag clips are thin plastic instead of metal, as I thought. Won't be buying any more of those.  
 
 
Then lots and lots of paper/vellum/plastic diecuts from Studio Calico!
 
 
Wood veneers, some new some old.
 
 
Die cuts from MME.  
 
 
Die cuts from Maggie Holmes
 
 
Alpha stickers from BG and stickers from Simple Stories.
 
 
 Ink applicator from Ranger, I was a bit surprised that the felt pieces didn't cover the entire velcro...
 
 
Some marine and americana papers to support my New England fantasies.  
 
 
This was the item that made me most happy, the cards are lovely and many are die cut and the small ones are just adorable, I wish more manufacturers would make them like that! I will have to buy another set if I could only figure out which one is the prettiest.
 
 
I bought a pack of 12''x12'' papers from Studio Calico and I hope that I will be able to make us of it, they are a bit different in my taste but I had to have that white paper with all the black symbols. Perhaps it will be refreshing to work with different papers.
 
 
 Then I found some single sheets of papers that are just my type:
 
 
 See you soon!

My own papers

 Hello again!
A while back it was my birthday and my family gave me a wonderful gift that I've been looking forward to a lot! I got ten ink pads from Stampin' Up!! Aaaaah!!! Happy!! It is so true what they say about those ink pads, they are so much better than anything elese I've ever tried! I love them so much! I got all the colors that I had on my wishlist and I sure made a good selection, if I may say so!
 
Ofcourse I need more colors in the future, I need a light pink and maybe a purple, perhaps a softer orange and... yeah, you get the picture. It is the start of an addiction!
 
To celebrate and try out my new ink pads I tok out some nice stamps and stamped a couple of background papers. What do you think?
 
 
 
 
 
 
I have already used these for layouts so come back soon and see the result in the blog!
