Oh my..

May 11th, 2013 | Category: personal, scrapbooking

Life’s been crazy lately…Photography, house planning, work,…no time and motivation to scrap at all… But I think that’s over now, I scrapped yesterday! :) But I have a few layouts from March that I still need to show you ;)

Before I show you, I just wanted to say how much I LOVE that it’s finally Spring here in Austria!! The weather has been really nice lately (with some rainy days in between, but that’s ok) and I enjoy not having to wear so many layers of clothing any more *lol* It always seems to me that life gets “fuller” when it gets warmer…more things to do…and mor willingness to do it, too ;) Still need to kick myself to start running again, but that will happen soon, I hope!

Oh and I can’t wait for Monday this week!! Going to the cinema with my fellow coworkers (all men) to see “Star Trek – Into Darkness”!!!! As an old Trekkie I loved the last movie with the young crew and since this time one of my currently very favourite actors is playing the baddie…omg…(add excited shrieking here)..can’t wait! :D

So anyway, here’s to the layouts! The first one’sabout one of my best friends who opend a Cupcake shop last year. We took some promotional pictures then and well, I just had to scrap one of them! The colours are rather girly and fresh which totally fits her style, too :)

And the second layout’s, well, not very appropriate for May, but I have to show it anyway.. In December I went to see the “Irish Christmas Festival” with my Mum. Cathie Ryan and Fullset played there and they were amazing!!! Loved every minute of the evening and also bought their CDs *gg* I had feared that it would be all Christmas-y and strange, but it turned out to be just awesome Irish music like when you can’t sit still, but have to tap your feet and such.. <3 I took a (pretty bad) picture at the end of the evening when all artists joined in on a Christmas song finally, because I knew I wanted to scrap about that evening..

So that’s it for now! Hope you have an awesome weekend! And happy Mother’s Day to everyone who’s celebrating it tomorrow! :)

Edit: OMG, totally forgot! These layouts mark numbers 31 and 32 in my “50 layouts before shopping again” – Challenge!! Wohooo!!

A confession and other things..

March 26th, 2013 | Category: personal, scrapbooking

Oh my.. It’s been a while since my last post. That’s partly because of my working on my photography page (still not ready) and partly because of many other things holding me back from fun things like blogging ;)

Anyway, so my confession…actually two confessions.. First of all, I’m a sucker for good TV series :) My current obsessions are besides Navy CIS (an alltime favourite) Glee, Sherlock and Downton Abbey. I watched the first season of Donwton Abbey in one session on Sunday and really loved it! :) See, I love England and to see places like I saw in real life in this series and the fashion and everything… *swoon* I have to say I had problems with the strong British accents at first, but after the first two episodes I grew accustomed to it… What can I say, it just blew me away :) Already have the second season here and probably will buy the third one soon *lol*

So the second confession has to do with the first one actually…that is with Glee :) You see, I love, love, loooove this series, but not only the series itself…..I also love/adore/swoon over one of the actors *cough* That is Darren Criss, the actor who plays Blaine “Warbler” Anderson… I mean I already adored him before, but when I got to know he loves (and sings!!!) Disney songs..oh my… He’s cute, funny, an amzing singer, doesn’t take himself too serious – oh and did I mention sexy? ;) It’s kind of embarrassing..I mean, I’m almost 30 and swoon over some actor that’s even younger than me…omg… but I just can’t help..and had to do a layout to proof it *lol*

But since it’s been so long, I have more layouts to show you.. And I’ll add another red-themed one about our Valentines meal :) I made mozzarella with tomatoes as a starter and punched the mozzarella with a cookie cuter in heart shapes :)

So far so good for today! Hope you’re having a great week! Here it’s winter again with icy cold storms and snow..boooh…I really want Spring already!!
Anyway, xoxo Sandra

Layout from dictation

March 2nd, 2013 | Category: scrapbooking

Yesterday evening was time for “Dictation 3″ at the (German) Dani Peuss forum.. Everybody’s doing a layout by following the rules a “teacher” writes. :) Quite funny, but it took them a bit longer than my tired self could stand, so I finished my layout today morning…

Here’s the result strictly following the dictation alone (except the frame line around the LO and the date stamp):

When I was finished I liked it but it lacked the “me”-feeling, so I decided to add some stamps and a piece of vellum and so on.. So this is my altered version:

It’s strange to do a layout with someone else’s style, but I like the result nonetheless :)

Hope you’re having a sunny Saturday!

My last DT work for Sketchabilities

February 28th, 2013 | Category: designteams, scrapbooking, sketchabilities

It’s time for a new Sketchabilities sketch again! And since the “term” is over, it’s my last DT work. It was really great working with Karan and the other amazing DT members!! And I’ll definitely keep on usinge Sketchabilities sketches for my layouts’ inspiration from time to time :)

So here’s sketch #86 and my take on it!

 

Love how this layout turned out!! It’s a little “mixed media”-stylish with misting and stamping and gesso-ing ;) Kind of out of my comfort zone, but I really enjoyed the process! :D

See ya soon! :)
xoxo Sandra
