A wonderful blog and a great tutorial!

This is the wrath that lured me into Lindsays world. Isn´t it amazing??

I´ve started to pay more attention to the ACOT formu after I joined in on the November Crop. Today there was a post with a link to this fab tutorial, and I just had to share it!! Not only was it a great tutorial, nut a lovely blog! Lindsay has a bunch of great tutorials, and she even writes funny!! What more can we ask for? I loved her post about when "she" is decorating her house for Christmas. And I love her logo with the gluegun in it :-)

Face to face with a giraffe!

I visited a zoo for the first time on sunday!!! I was visiting on of my BBFs to celebrate my 28th birthday, and we thought it was about time that I got to see some wild animals :-)

It was quite cold, and most of the animals decided to stay inside. When we walked up to the giraffe enclousure one of them was having a look around, but decided against going out. Luckely we were able to go insade the stables, so we still got to see them!!

When I meet animals I always start talking to them, ask them how they day have been, and if they have had a good meal and things like that. The giraffe was standing about 10 meters away, with his back to me, and my friends were looking at some other animals a little further away. I was talking away, and suddenly he turned around and came straigh at me. He bent forward and looked me straigt into the face, his head was just 20 cm away! IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! A true Kodac Moment. Sadly, neither Line or Monica saw it, and there is no photos that record this happening. I didn´t want to scare him away by shouting for my friends!!!

Altered Clock "come what may"

Last weekend I somehow got sucked into the unfamiliar world of Online Crops over at A Cherry On Top.

I was just checking out their crop sale (they had 30 % of on Core´Dination), and thought I would check out the challenges. BAD MOVE! Befor I knew it I had been sitting at my desk for 12 hours! And I was prepared to do the same on Sunday as well!! I was having so much fun, doing the Fast Scraps and the different challenges. I also played some games, but it was difficult keeping up with all the new posts so I decided to focus on the challenges. I ended up making 9 LOs and  7 other projects. This clock was one of the main challenges.





Materials used:

• MM Speciality Glaze - Pearl
• White acrylic paint
• Eucalyptus Spritz
• Distress Inks: Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain
• Glimmer Screen
• Dew Drop Galaxy Gold Ink
• Thickers Typo Peacock
•  Embossingpowder on dials
  

Challenge #2, Magpie Club

 

I´ve just finished this LO of my first meeting with my little brother. You can find the sketch here.

The title is strange enough: First Meeting

Journaling: "Olav was born on the 14th of December, 1988. He was 4800 grams and 56 cm long. I remeber that everybody were talking about how big he was, and when seeing him for the first time I was disapointed that he was only a tiny baby..."

The rubon: Shared moments

One sketch - 8 LOs

I have been doing the sketch challenge over at 52 sketches-52 weeks for quite some time now and I love it! Every week there is great prices for one random winner, and this week it is the November kit from the fab Lady Magpie. Ok, so she isn´t called Lady, but she should be... I was actually going to buy the kit, pay the shipping fee and the custom fee, and that says a lot!!

So, with this fab price in mind, I decided that I just had to give this weeks sketch my all... You can add as many LOs as you want, so I just went crazy. I do want to make two more, but I just have to see what the afternoon brings :-)

(I´m having a lot of trouble with the new and improved version of blogger. I can not get my photos like I want them. Just pretend everything is all neat and nice!!!


The wonderful sketch.




The first LO.

 I even took a little trip into the unfamiliar world of vintage scrapbooking. It will never be my prefered style, but I thought it would be rigth for this photo!
