Altered clock

A few weeks ago I altered this broken clock from IKEA for a challenge at scrapmuse . I am happy to announce I won second prize with this clock :).

Winner at Scraphappy

I am a big fan of Scraphappy and Lains pod casts. I download them to my ipod and listen to them on my way to work. Often they are very funny so I sit on the subway laughing for my self which means the people are staring weird at me ;). You can check out her blog HERE and listen to her pod casts HERE.

A few weeks ago she was interviewing Rene Pearson The author of Digital Designs and she held a drawing to win the book. Guess who won the book ;). Thank you Lain for picking my name!

I haven't had time to try it out yet but I am taking it with me when I go visit my sister and we will be trying it out togehter.

Sketch 58 and my fave song at the moment

I had time to do a new pencil lines sketch the other day. This is my try on sketch nr 58.



The photos are taken in Sweden in July 2003 a few weeks before our wedding. I needed to work on my tan so we went to visit my parents at a camping place.

In case you have missed this song .... you can now listen to it and watch some Grey's anatomy at the same time *LOL*

Happy Fathers day

Today is Fathers day in Sweden so I have created a layout for my father.

Happy Fathers day!!!

Sneak peak, photoshop and going back to university

There is a new challenge on scrapmuse and I have chosen to alter something again :). I have this wall clock from IKEA which is broken on one side after I dropped it on the floor. I though why not pimp it up so that I can hang it back on the wall. Here is just a small sneak peak of the clock. Gonna post it again after the challenge is over.

Yesterday I got a link from a friend to a great photoshop page "Moderskeppet". It's all in Swedish though. It has many video links where you can watch and learn how to use photoshop. He is also teaching an online course at the Jönköping university in Sweden. The next course starts in January and the application period has ended but you can still apply and get in if it isn't full already. I've always wanted to learn digital photo editing so keep your fingers crossed for me so that I get in either January or August. The best part is that university in Sweden doesn't cost much. You pay either 18 or 30 euro per term depending on how many weeks you will study.

I was playing around today with one of the 5 senses photo that I posted last time. I followed one of the video tutorials on "Moderskeppet". It was about making an evil face.

Layouts and mini album from Hamburg Workshop

A few weeks ago I went to a workshop in Hamburg. See previous post for info. Here are the layouts and the mini book that I did there.

First workshop was held by Andrea and it was about how to make your own stamps. I had this frog photo with me so I wanted to do something green.


The third workshop was held by Nat and it was about old photos and heritage.



The second workshop was held by Christiane and it was about your 5 senses. We made a mini album.

I took these 5 photos







And here is a slide show of the mini album. The photo quality is really bad because I couldn't get enough of light anywhere.
