Movie Night...

I just had to share this rather unusual themed but really cool kit that Kate Hadfield released together with Holly Designs on Friday at the Lilypad. Don't you just love all the great detailed cinema-themed doodles etc? This kit is certainly mega filled with great themed embellishments.

...maybe the perfect time to scrap that visit to see Twilight or some other great film you saw at the cinema? :)

[Supplies: Spacey Templates Mini 5 - Amy Martin, Movie Night - Kate Hadfield, Holly Designs
(both from The Lilypad)]

Hope you're all having a great weekend! :)

I can't believe that the Winter Olympics are over... :(

Day 27...

Christmas journal time again :) The picture on the left is one that dad took of me and Ross at my aunt's & uncle's on the 26th of December. The big family gathering :)

On the right side we jump to day 27 and for most people Christmas would be over at this stage...

For us it was kinda a second Christmas instead. My brother, his girlfriend and their daughter spent Christmas with his girlfriend's parents this year. So on the 27th we had a 2nd Christmas together with them, complete with presents and the traditional Christmas food. Cool :) And definitely something that should be part of my journal.

I Love My Kindle...

Yep I do :) And this new kit by Kaye Winiecki was the perfect thing to use to make a layout about it:

...isn't it really cute? And it appealed to me straight away since I love reading. And I love the combination of lime, aqua and kraft. Makes me smile :)

So anyway, as I said, I love my Kindle and I love reading... and I love this kit, so this is what I created:

[Supplies: Arctic Ice - Gina Miller, Chubby Paper Alphas 3 - Gina Miller, Essential Paper Petals - Gina Miller, Project 365 Templates 2 - Gina Miller, Valentines Doodles - Jenna Desai, Bookworm - Kaye Winiecki (all from The Lilypad)]

And what a great day it is... soon weekend - yay! Though I feel a little sad too as I have loved following the Winter Olympics (go Sweden!!) and it's coming to an end now... *sob*

Day 26...

Not many days left at all now :) I'm running my Christmas journal of 2009 to the 31st of December, just like I did the previous year too.

If we start on the left side, which is the back side of the 25th, I decided to go with a cosy-feel Christmas tree photos and some journaling about that day.

The 26th (right side) is a day that's now become something of a tradition. My aunt and uncle invite us all to dinner. For every year we seem to be more and more people coming (and next year there will be yet another two little ones) yet they somehow manage to squeeze us all in every year. A really nice tradition and usually the only time of the year when we're all gathered together at once.

Playing 'Kubb'...

I assumed Kubb was a Swedish game and after checking Wikipedia it turns out that I was right (I needed to double-check so I did't give you the wrong info). It's a great outside family game and lots of fun is always guaranteed. :)

We played it several times in the summer in Sweden and I decided to use some of the photos to make this layout:

... do you know what else? I just love it when you can take a super cute Valentine's Day kit like this:

...and use it for a layout which has a completely different topic :)

Out Of Action...

I'm having some major computer problems at the moment. It's a big possibility that I need to replace my hard drive asap. Nearly didn't get it back up this morning. So I'm putting all my scrapping on hold for today and I'm going to be concentrating 100% on backing up everything to external harddrives & DVDs etc...

Day 25...

I had so many photos that I wanted to feature in my journal from Christmas Eve, that the back side for the 24th kinda just became a page of photos - but that's okay too :)

The 25th is another big photo page of the table being set full of yummy Christmas food :)

Day 24...

And it's time for Christmas Eve in my Christmas journal. Possibly the best day of the year I think. I love Christmas and this (the 24th) is the big day you celebrate in Sweden (you have the Christmas food, presents etc).

The left side is still the back side from Day 23 and features my little niece and their cat. Super cute and cuddly he is :) Love him to bits. And my niece too of course :)

Day 24 (right side) is loads of journaling about the day plus a photo as we just sat down to eat. Yum!

More From The Tablet Class...

I didn't know too much what to expect from the tablet class by Jessica Sprague. Some parts I did parts I did assume we'd go through and other parts have been rather surprising. All good though :)

This was the main layout class for week 2. We learnt a lot of cool techniques including how to create our own PSE brush. See the pale blue paper with the leaf overlay? I did that - the leaves are my very own created PSE brush. That felt cool - LOL!

We learnt how to take digital alphas (see the title) and create them into a "sticker effect" with white background and how to take a scanned chipboard piece and create the scroll effect that you can see in lime green at the top and the bottom.

I wish I could remember every single technique now... and of course you can't when you learn so many new things all at once and you only do them one time. But the cool thing is that I can go back to anything and check up on how we did it anytime I want :)

Day 23...

How exciting. It's the 23rd of December (in my Christmas journal that is! LOL!) Christmas is only a day away and since I totally love the cosiness of Christmas, this is a very good day.

Everything that isn't already sorted for Christmas is coming together on this day. And going to bed, knowing that tomorrow is Christmas Eve, is just the best :)

Only a few more pages left in my journal now. And I'm soooo happy that I kept going with it rather than giving up because it was not December anymore. It will be such a great album to have and look through in the future :)
