Skisse nr 60

Her er skisse nr. 60 fra Inspired Blueprints:

Her er min tolkning. Dette er et gammelt bilde som jeg fant i rotet mitt, som jeg har pyntet litt på i Photoshop. Det har vært brukt til julekort ca. i 1999... Det var på den tiden da enten den ene var fin på bildet, eller den andre, men sjelden begge to samtidig :)

Here, there and everywhere, part two; "There" - the early days

Here comes part two of this very exciting not so short story :)

Timeline:

(I have to start a new page as it stops in 2008, and my travels don't..)

This is the first trip abroad that was not to Denmark or Sweden and with my parents. It was a journey to "Our Chalet" in Switzerland with my girl guide group. We travelled by Inter Rail and after the 12 days in the swiss alps we visited Italy, France, the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark on the way back. Fantastic experience for a 16 years old girl.

I have included a copy of the card that I sent to my parents. (Can you believe they kept it?) And the girl with the lollypop and the T-shirt with an elephant's behind is me.

My german-class went on a school trip to Berlin. This was back in the days when systematic government cruelty and political terror was a major tourist attraction. Even though our main interest was drinking and dancing, this trip made a deep impression on us. 

This picture shows one of the platforms where you could get a glimpse of the no-mans land and the dirty and neglected East Germany on the other side.

The year after this I went on an undocumented illegal trip to Denmark with my friend Hilde. In those pre-cellphone and pre-Facebook days keeping things from parents seemed much easier. It was discovered, however (we sent a card), but when we later returned to the home base, the temperature had cooled down somehow. 

Six months after that I went to London for a week (also undocumented) with two other girls and almost no money. Fortunately the hotel was including breakfast so at least we had one decent meal each day. Somehow we managed to meet people (boys) who were willing to buy us beer and even food sometimes. Those were the days!

More to follow...

Here, there and everywhere, part one; "Here"

I am writing this in English so that my (maybe not so many) English speaking readers can follow this very interesting (?) long story.

More than 1,5 years ago I joined an online workshop by Shimelle Laine called "Here, there and everywhere". The intention was to produce a minialbum about the place we live, places we have been to and places where we want to go. I couldn't restrain myself from including all the journeys I've made (except for travels in Norway, weekend trips and business trips). I am still working on it (from time to time) and I am now in the middle of volume two. Almost 2 years later I have now reached year 2000...

After careful consideration I have decided to share this life's journey here on this humble blog.

I used these very cute albums from Making Memories. Unfortunately, I can not find the same design any more, so the next volume will have to be a different colour :(

Home sweet home: 

As we live in a terraced house, it was very difficult to make an impressive photo of it... This is the entrance. Here is a rather more impressive photo of the view.

The "house" where we keep our mail box:

Some random facts about Bergen, stolen from Wikipedia...

The route from my home to my work, different alternatives for driving and walking.

I will publish more "interesting" stuff in a few days about my many journeys. Have a nice weekend!

TCR palett nr. 30

Jeg ble så inspirert av fargene på denne paletten. Har tenkt på det mange ganger, men det er bare en gang tidligere jeg har somlet meg til å lage noe. Likte også veldig godt skissen, den passet perfekt til bildene mine. I tillegg har jeg fullstendig skamløst kopiert denne siden av Ingvild Bolme. Det var spesielt det stempelet på bakgrunnsarket jeg ville kopiere. Hadde ikke det samme, selvfølgelig, men fant noe som lignet (i hvert fall litt).

Her er min side:

Paletten ser sånn ut:

og her er et par av bildene av Helene og Elise i svømmebassenget på Kreta:

Skisse nr 59

Her kommer skisse nr. 59 fra Inspired Blueprints. Veldig fin skisse som jeg har fulgt nesten til punkt og prikke.

Her er siden min. Jeg ville lage en side om alle solnedgangene vi hadde i Hellas i sommer. Vi bodde på 5 forskjellige hoteller i Aten, Kreta, Santorini, Naxos og Aten igjen. Nesten alle steder hadde vi fantastiske solnedganger! Her er noen av dem:

Her kommer jammen noen detaljer, også.. Jeg hadde også lyst  til å bruke chipboard rammene jeg fikk i september kittet til Studio Calico, og de trykket jeg svart distress ink på, og gullfarget eller svart embossing pulver. Da ble de nesten som gammeldagse bilderammer, syns jeg. Har også brukt noen av de fine blomster rub-onsene fra EAD Designs.

Jeg er publisert!

For noen uker siden ble jeg kontaktet av Nicole Martel i online magasinet Scrapstreet.com, med spørsmål om de kunne få trykke min side, "Din tur". Det kunne jeg jo ikke si nei til...

I dag kom november utgaven ut, og her er siden på trykk. Kult!
