Masks…

 

Today Jessica Sprague is giving a tutorial on how to use masks. Little Kristian looks good in vintage, mask and word-art. It is amazing what you can do in PS. If I could keep the passion going…I tend to loose interest after a short time of clicking and dragging. Then I forget the things I learned. The good thing is that at Jessica Sprague.com – your class is always available.

Our baby-baby has been given a name:

A little more dramatic;

Wreck this journal…

…Stacy Julian added this project as a bonus to the Have more FUN class. I just had to order one from Amazon. I have been reading about this fun project before and was kind of intrigued with the whole thing. When it arrived today….well, I am not so sure anymore. Where is the fun in dragging a book in the mud? Or, how about slipping it into the bathtub? Every page has some stupid idea of what to do. OK, that is me – completely without humour. I am not worried, I will find someway to use it. I just haven’t decided if I want to join this crazy bunch of people wrecking their journal….

I started out carfully by putting it outside in wet grass for just a little moment.:)

I made one of the cards for my 52 card pick up class today. We made mosaic of paper scraps on contact paper. That was fun. Don’t think I will be doing much of that with the price of the contact paper. That was expensive, but fun to work with.

I have been working with the photos from the wedding today. It took forever to upload from the computer. I need to order some prints to work with. And I can not decide what pictures to use for the album without seeing them on print.  I will try again early tomorrow. It might have been a lot of traffic on the line.

I have a slight cold so I have been sleeping this afternoon. That is what you get, running around with little cloth – during late hours….

I met an old friend today…

….paying for my can of soup, the customer behind my said; Elin…

 I have been thinking a lot about her lately. Digging through all those old photos brings out all kind of memories. She have daughters  my age and we only knew each-other for three years, but you could say she made an impact on me. She had a saying;” I only drink on days with the letter R in the spelling - so come on, it`s MoRnday…”  We were living next to the church and I never forget the Sunday morning she and the hubby banged on my door, bringing a silver plate with breakfast and two bottles of Vodka. They were dressed to the neck and had walked all the way in the line to church carrying two bottles of Vodka on a silver platter. Of course I remember her, 22 years since I saw her last…

I eat a can of soup today so I could do Kolette`s last assignment …. and I love the fact that it is saying ;             U-can…

I got my embossing-gun in the mail today. I could hardly wait to try. Never did this before. I did not know how to do it, maybe I would set the house on fire or something. We were supposed to use clear embossing ink. One of those things I don`t have in my stash so I just used ink…

                                             It was fun.

Today Tena inspired us to take care of the words that we often find behind old pictures.  A good tip.

If anyone is peeking in on my rambling here, you have to go and see Krogen`s last uploads in Flicre. He just visited Bud  and you have to see his beautiful photos of Bud. I will never be able to show you how great this place is, but he is. So go see Krogens great photos of Bud.

 

I am blogging early today…

…

Because I have promised myself that I will clean my apartment. I have been able to postpone it until now. I was an early bird this morning, but still no summer in sight. Logged in to my computer and found Darci`s lesson of the day. I was done before breakfast. OK…so I am not proud of my heart. Maybe I will do this one more time, but this morning I was so motivated so I didn’t have time to be neet.  Anyway, here it is: I used an old photo of Tor and Jan saying hallo to the elephant, around 1988 or 1989.

It was quit a show at the grannys house last night when baby Elin got “the poppel”  in her hair. I just have to show you two more pics. Poor baby needs her mummy…

And while mummy gives comfort, daddy and baby Kristian watch, grandma get the scissors;

This had to go down on print. Fulfilling one of the challenges on Scrapping.no I used an arrow and delivered my 6Th layout for the challenge.

Now…I will go cleaning….I think…
