Park Guell in Barcelona

There's a cyber crop going on over at Scrap-

Perra's this week (there's holidays from school

for winter sports in parts of Sweden this week).

First challenge is: Use this sketch:

I made an LO as an insert for my Barcelona

pages in my PL-album 2013 and used purple 

and yellow to fit in with the pages I already

 made with pictures from beautiful Park Guell:

Materials: Papers from Glitz (Uncharted Waters),

Splash: Lindys Stamp Gang, flairs, mini alphas

from KaiserKraft, heart shaped doily, bling from

Panduro and small glass hearts from Pipoos.

AOS skissutmaning i februari

Allt om Scrap har en skissutmaning i februari.

Skissen nedan har Ana Castro från Brasilien 

gjort. Kolla gärna hennes fina blogg!

Min tolkning av skissen blev så här och kommer

att hamna mitt ett uppslag i mitt PL-album. På

motstående sida sitter nämligen flera foton och

journalingkort med lila färg och hos Scrap-Perra 

fann jag detta fina ark ur den nya serien från

K-Designs fina papper som var precis det jag

letade efter (när jag sökte ETT babypapper)...

Övriga dekorationer: Blomma med hänge och

ljuslila dito från Prima, burlap flower från Slöjd-

Detaljer, washitape, etiketter och ljuslila washi

från en RAK, glashjärtan från Holland, chevrons

från Sodalicious, frantage, gesso, glitter, 

transparency från Hamble Studios, Inca Gold

 samt Pearl Maker.

Park Guell i Barcelona Part II

På detta uppslag ses många exempel på den 

teknik som Gaudí och hans lärjungar använde 

för att dekorera; sprucken keramik ihopsatt i

konstfulla mönster med hjälp av en sorts murbruk

av salt, kalk och vatten. "Trencadís" heter den

tekniken på spanska och det var speciellt en av

de konstintresserade medhjälparna till Gaudí

som specialiserade sig på detta.  

Ovan ses bilder från två av de tre figurer som 

dominerar trappan från huvudingången till Park

Guell upp till den tilltänkta hantverksbyn, och 

nedan flera foton på "vågiga bänken" och vi fyra

som åkte tillsammans. Här är inte många deko-

rationer; endast några flairs här och var och lite

washi för att hålla fast utskrifterna på vellum. 

Ja då var andra uppslaget för vecka 38 år 2013

klart. Eller någon som har förslag på något jag

borde lägga till??

Park Guell in Barcelona

Barcelona is so beautiful! Especially in summer 

and sunshine! We went there the whole family

in September last year and spent 10 interesting 

days admiring architecture, taking pictures and 

eating ice cream etc. I decided to make a few 

pocket journaling pages with the best pictures:

The first spread is from Park Guell, build by the

Catalan Architect Antoni Gaudí and his workers

between 1900 - 1914. it is now declared World

Heritage by UNESCO. We started off in the 

viaducts. I used journaling from Me and My Big

Ideas (Travel) and cardstock plus a few other

items from different other kits. 

On the right page of the spread I put a piece of

the city map to show where the park is located,

flairs and wood veneers (although I know it will

probably do no good to the pictures...) and a

little arrow I got at the local paper store.

I admit; there are not many decorations here; 

and that's because I think the pictures says it

all; they are big and shiny and I felt no need to

overdecorate them. Like it?

Project Life Week 2014: Week 6

Week 6 two things happened: I worked and I 

went to a crop! Apart from that it was dull all

days and raining and boring, so I didn't take

 many pictures att all. Most journaling cards are

from a Mini kit called Seasons and then there 

are some others from WRMK Captured.

Orange letters are from The Green Hyenas'

February Add-On-kit and flairs are made by

talented Swedish scrappers who shared them

with us (=the rest of us who can't make flairs..)! 

Today there's sunshine; so I hope to go to work 

and being able to take some bright pictures on

the way! Thanks for visiting my blog!

has and old fashioned style but are new to me.

So I made a card for a couple who are celebrating

long time ago) and finally I decorated with some

half pearls and flowers from Scandinavian 

designs.

* Splendiferous Creations: Two or more

patterned papers (I have two on the front

 and another one inside)

Project Life 2014: Week 4 & 5

These two weeks not much happened so they 

got a spread together. I continued using Becky

Higgins Mini Seasonal Kit, some cardstock and

colored journal cards from We R Memory Makers

 BLOOM to match the yellow colors of the sun

kissed buildings in Stockholm!

On this spread I have tried something new, 

participating in the February challenge at CiLi in 

 Papers Blog: Write or stamp ON your pictures.

I went ahead to buy two white pens to write on 

photos with and tried this on several photos.

I didn't try stamping on any picture. Yet.

What do you think? Have you tried this? If you

do; why not submit your page or spread to the

challenge? If you don't usually write or stamp 

on pictures; why not try once? 

Other decorations: wood veneers from Sodalicios, 

Studio Calico and Scrapdraken, fun eye 

stickers from TGR, fancy flairs (provided for us 

from talented girls in our own Project Life 

Facebook group), snowflake stickers from my

local book store and letter stickers.

Årstaviken

Årstaviken fotograferad en vinterdag i solsken,

fina papper i blå och grå toner från Echo Park

samt en skiss från Scrapidoo blev så här i min

kombination:

Skissen från Scrapidoo ser ut så här:

Ja visst; jag har vänt lite på skissen och så

hamnade ett element på fel sida, men hoppas

att det syns att jag har utgått från skissen!

Stjärnorna och gemet kommer från Amy Prior - 

jag fick ett litet paket med scrapgodis av henne 

efter att ha vunnit en utmaning på Allt om 

Scrap för en tid sedan.

Vill du också delta i skissutmaningen klicka

HÄR så kommer du till Scrapidoos forum 

som tillhandahåller med information!

Project Life 2014: Week 3

Hi; I'm ready to show my third spread of PL

for this year and now I have started to use some

"real" journaling cards from Becky Higgins. They 

are from the mini kit called Seasons Edition. 

Monday was a freezing cold but sunny day I

spent in Uppsala working and wandering about.

Sun was so low it was hard to get good pictures.

Didn't understand how so many were able to 

go by bike to the Central Station! Of course I

went to the ultra famous cafeteria called

Ofvandahls and had my lunch there.

All week was cold and I worked one day with Isabel

in Court of Appeal of Svea in Stockholm two days,

and we had an unusual experience there. 

Several different washi tapes are used, some

wood veneers, a snowflake brad and some

snowflake stickers too.

Thanks for visiting; I'd be so happy if you left a

comment as well and please come back!
