Luxury and scraps

It felt sooo luxurious to be able to scrap a page using FIVE different patterns. All of the pieces cut from fresh 12x12 Blonde Moments papers (thanks again Marja!)

Pencil Lines sketch # 59.



Out of the scraps I made a page for the baby´s album. It´s a simpler version of the sketch but most of the elements are there.

Scraps left? Then choose a background and shuffle papers about.

And one more for good measure. Lol!

Marja had this on her blog. :)

Abstract thoughts. Really I wouldn´t have said so.
Just the facts ma´am. ;)
It says I´m smart and sexy. Well, thanks {I like this quizz! ;) }
I have different attitudes but one personality. I´´m like one watch with different straps. :D
Yes you can trust me, as many friends know. I´m a great secret keeper.
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! I get bonkers when restricted!!!!!!
My feelings are all over the place. Just look at me wrong and I´m a pool of tears. Or do something that I consider unfair and I boil.

Ds passed his ZDP!

This is the exam I have been dreading since he started Year 1 back then in 2002!

It´s a German language exam that covers the whole of his primary school studies and determines whether he can stay at this bilingual school for his secondary years.

Matias brought his results today: 76/80. That´s an A!

Off to celebrate and then tomorrow I´ll start worrying about Tatiana taking the exam in four years time. Lol!

Time warp

Six days in a day. Here are my six pages for this week.
Pencil Lines # 19. Frida at three months old. Bo Bunny papers, 97% 7 gypsies stamp, letter stickers. Frances Meyer´s bee sticker. Can you say old stuff? ;) Pencil Lines # 40. Mati and his twop best friends since they were 2 years old at an open gates Robotics class. Chatterbox papers. If you know them you´ll know they are stronger colours than it shows here. Foam letters and dots.
Pencil lines # 58. Same for dd. Same papers, same open gates day class. SEI fabric sticker flowers. Soooooooo cool to be able to put a ton of flowers on a page. Thanks again Marja! :)
Still some scraps left? Then let´s do another page with them. Roflol!
This time I used a sketch lefted from K3. That very talented lady is a constant source of inspiration. *luv*


It was a very doable layered layout so I copied it again for Frida´s album. The pic was taken on her first day home back in July 2005.



And again for my friend´s baby album (oh, yes same papers, my scrappy style).

Some more days


UKScrappers challenge for the past week.

Fact # 65 of 101 facts about me: Spanish is my native language. Luv the miniskirt pic. I was a true child of the sixties. *big grin*






Pencil Lines # 55 twice, just mirrored. As the are the same papers you can imagine they look similar IRL. ;)

{Paula hangs head in shame}

Good thing: I started the Art every day in November project with my bells on. :)

Bad thing: the page I finished on the 1st was sooooooooooooooooo ugly I just couldn´t scrap any more for a few days. When I say ugly, I mean ugly as in my 2nd worst ever (there´s one from my first scrapping year where I mismatched so many things it´s unbelievable ;) ). No redeeming qualities whatsoever. Bad papers, bad pics, bad shapes, totally odd.

My sweet friend and teamie K3 couldn´t believe it was THAT ugly but it is!!! :D

Some pages I did after that:

Pencil Lines # 18. Cherry arte paper and monograms. Our story about dh phoning me right after our honeymoon asking "Do you want to move?"

True to my style a scraps page:


Another Cherry Arte piece. MM rub ons. Coordinating flowers and pearls from a shopping bag. *grin*
