Canvas

I've been working on a canvas using different kinds of techniques that I've learned from different workshops I've done during the years.

Long time no see!!!

Wow is it really September since my last post!? Days have gone by so fast, I have been working a lot with my two jobs and have been scrappin' a little but haven't had time to post it.

I have finished a work shop by Nat which was sooo fun to do! I am very happy with the results. You can see her post here.

This is what I did.

New home card

On Friday we were invited to my friends Jenny and Paul for a crayfish party. This is something typical Swedish which is normally held in August but we were all busy moving into our new homes so we postponed it to September. Jenny and Paul bought their new home the same day as me and Tommie so this was a crayfish/"welcome to new home" party so I made this cute little card for them. I've used items from July Scrap muse kit.


Materials used: Sassafras Lass, Bazzill rhinestones, October afternoon.

Don't forget about the little RAK contest. See my previous post.

+5000 RAK contest

Wohoo I can't believe I have reached 5000 visitors on my blog. To celebrate this and to see how many readers I really have I would love to give out a RAK to one reader. This is what I have in mind.

I would love to receive a scrapbook page from you. I have recently bought a new calendar/journal where you can put your own cover page in a pocket in the front of the book. The pocket is 21 cm x 14 cm or 8.3 inches x 5.5 inches.

The rules:

*The page should have my name on it somewhere: Eeva or Eeva Hall.

*You can do a digital page or a paper page or a mix of both. Please don't layer too much so the paper page gets too thick. It might not fit in the pocket. Or I'll just frame it and hang it on the wall instead :)

*Email me your digital page to the email address you find on the left side of my blog.

*If you want to send me a page through the mail email me for my address.

*You can email me for an invite to my online photo album if you would like to use a photo of me.

*Open for all both European and international scrapbookers.

The Winner
Out of all who has sent in I will draw one winner who will get to choose between one 10 dollar gift certificate at your favorite store, or I'll send you a little goody bag full of Scandinavian scrapbooking products (stamps and embellishments). Worth 15-20 dollars.

The winner will be drawn 30th of September so you'll have plenty of time to create.

Interview on scrapmuse

Hello, dear friends I'm still here :). I know I've been silent for a while. There has been so much to do with the moving yet again but finally to our own place. I am trying to get everything organized in my scraproom but I seem to have more things than places to put them.

I haven't done any scrapbooking for weeks and I can't wait to get started again. Hopefully I will received my newest kit from scrapmuse before the weekend. If you are interested in learning more about me you can check the newest newsletter at scrapmuse. There's an interview with me.

Other than that there are some great news! I have finally gotten a job! It's only part time and so far after only 3 days I am still lovin' it! I get to speak German from time to time which is GREAT. And the people I work with are really nice.

5

Today we celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary! I can't believe that it has already gone 5 years! It still feels like yesterday. I did this layout for a journaling challenge over at ScrapMuse so that is why I have chosen to do a layout with no photo.

Materials used: Fiskars and Basic Grey PP, Bazzill CS, Basic Grey: monogram, American Crafts: fleece, Fiskars: Chipboard shapes

Award and news

I know I have been quiet for a while. So much has happened and I haven't had time to scrap anything. To make a long story short we have moved again. We are now living in a small 1 room apartment and the 4th of august we are finally moving to our own "house". We have bought a part (second floor) of a house and will be moving hopefully for the last time in a very looooong time. We will hopefully go back to Hamburg to get our furniture the first week of August so that we don't have to live in an empty house ;).

Ravenea's Rockin' Challenge NKOTB

This challenge by SIStv was all about music and how it has affected you.


Hehehee NKOTB has touched my soul :). When I was young I was a HUGE NKOTB fan. My room was full of posters and I listened to them 24/7. Me and my best friend danced and sang to their music every day and we also have a tape (both video and cassette) where we sing and dance :). Whenever I hear a NKOTB song I think back on my happy childhood and all the fun we had. Now I listen to my old mixed tapes when I do spring and winter cleaning :) makes even cleaning fun *LOL*

My favorite shoes Lesley's 4am Five Plus a Day

For this challenge we were supposed to choose 5 different techniques.

I've picked these 5 techniques:
*Doodling under the title and over the scalloped paper.
* framing the photo
* hybrid printed out the hot tag on white paper
* handcutting the scallopped edges by hand
* stamped my title

It's hard to read the journaling part but it says: These are my absolute favorite shoes. They are starting to be very worn out so I might have to throw them soon.
