Fishing with my dad

Fishing with my dad is the title on my latest layout for Scrap Yourself.
It's about my father and his love for the sea and fishing.
When I was young.....every weekend we went to our summerhouse here in Sweden. A house nearby the sea. We started our weekend with a boat trip to lay down some fishing nets.

At the 70th-90th the nets was full of fish. We gain up to 200 flounders and about 20 cods. The next day we had to clean the fishing net and of course all the fish.

Today the fishnet is sadly almost empty with fish, only about 20 fish total.

My father continues on fishing, and now and then I follow him....but not as often as I was younger.

Here is my layout:







The little girl stamp is from Pink Cat studio, Dress up Lily stamps.



This is a photo of a salamon, that my father caught.




The title got some Glossy accent, to create some glaze.



Thats all from me today.
Hope you all find some time for some lovely scrap today.

Close to my heart

Today I have been working with almost exclusively white colors at my layout. My thought was to let the white colors symbolize my dear Grandma, who are very closed to my heart, even through she died for several years ago. I was 14 years old and loved her very much, she was my hero.
Except for some photos, I have one little thing left from her. A tiny little bird, heavy of metal and painted with white colors. It's nothing remarkable about it....but its close to my heart.
So the title of my layout this week is "Close to my heart"

This little bird had my grandma beside her bedroom window, and when I made her a visit I always wanted to hold it in my hand and play with it.
I have written my journal on a tag and hide it behind the photo. You can see a bit of it behind the tulle and flowers.

When I made this layout I only used one pattern paper, a beautiful paper from Theresa Collins "Travel Ledger". The rest of the layout is created with tulle, fabric tape with fabric roses and fabric lace.




I have embossed the texture of the title and distressed it with some ink.



Se you next time!
Have a nice scrapping day.

The Child in Me!

At my age... I still feel the little girl in me, SOMETIMES! hahaha! And who doesn't like to see Disneyland, the happiest place on earth! Oh well I was fortune enough to visit 2 of the world's Disney places, my first time was in 2000 in Anaheim, California and the latest was in Hongkong. The moment I heard the theme song playing "When I wish Upon a Star"... made me feel like a little girl giggling over Mickey and Minnie Mouse. I just can't explain what kind of joy I feel every time I go to themed parks like this, specially when I'm with my boys. Walking around the park, having ice cream and popcorn, waiting for your ride, buying little stuff for souvenirs and photo opp really excites me!

Now let me share some layouts of my Disney experience... hope you also have those things that brings out the child in you!




I wish to congratulate my co-DTs and Kristine for coming up with bright and inspiring ideas for everyone to scrap and create. I, myself is always mesmerized with those great pages. Thanks for always looking...

SY Challenge 10

Good Morning Readers!

The Topic for this challenge is
Childhood Memories

This topic was chosen by Kirsten and she says :
I would like to do a childhood memory - mainly because my son asked me what
my favorite part of being a kid was the other day. I had to think for a
bit, but it was great to do that.

I am going to go through some old photos and when I have which memory I want
to scrap, I can write up some more. I am really hoping to find a photo of
me as Wonder Women.....I played Wonder Women (and Jamie Sommers, the Bionic
Women) ALL the time! Even had myself an invisible airplane! I got sooo
into either one of those characters that a neighbor (school principal type
with a degree in childhood psychology) went to talk to my mom worried that I
had a hard time with my identity! She laughed, and I am glad she let me
just carry on with my imagination. Jokes on him, I am Wonder Women with a
bit of Bionicness thrown in, I am a mom.
