Kombinerat
Det är olika varifrån idéerna kommer när man börjar med en layout. Ibland är det från foton, ibland från en historia man vill berätta och ibland är det faktiskt något scrapmaterial som inspirerar- t.ex. en plastficka!
Delade plastfickor har blivit på modet i scrapvärlden, och nu ville jag prova också. Många använder plastfickor för hockeybilder, men jag hann inte vänta på någon beställning, så jag sydde i en vanlig A4-ficka. Det var väldigt enkelt, för övrigt, och gör ju att man kan dela av plastfickan precis hur man vill själv.
Bilderna ovan visar mitt första egna försök till en delad layout. Eftersom det är ett så udda format fyllde jag baksidorna också med samma motiv, så det blev en dubbel-LO fast "rygg mot rygg". Lite knepigt. Om jag gör fler såna här layouter kan jag ju sätta in dem i albumen på ett snyggare sätt...
Fotona är blandade ögonblicksbilder från sommaren 2009, inte precis en komplett bild, men ändå en översikt.
Jag är fortfarande inte helt säker på om jag gillar det här formatet. :D Det är roligt att titta på och en bra variation mot de vanliga layouterna, men den var svår att göra! Det var svårt att få det hela att hänga ihop. Kanske jag ska pröva med en annan historia.
My inspiration for a LO comes from different places at different times. Sometimes it's the photos, sometimes a story I want to tell and sometimes it's actually a product that inspires- like a page protector!
Divided page protectors has become fashion in the scrapbooking community, and now I wanted to give it a try. A lot of people use protectors for baseballcards, but I didn't think I had the time to wait for the arrival of an order, so I just sewed on an ordinary A4-protector instead. That was very easy btw, and also gives you endless possibilities in how to divide the page protector.
The pictures above shows my first own attempts to make a divided LO. As it is such an odd format I filled the backs too, so I got a double LO just that it is "back to back". Hm. If I do more of those kind of layouts I can put them in the albums in a neater way!
The photos are miscellaneous snapshots from summer 2009. Not the complete picture, but still an overwiew.
I'm still not sure if I like this format! :D I like to look at this kind of layouts and it's a fun variation to the usual format, but it was kind of tricky to make it. It was hard to make it coherent. Maybe I shall try with another kind of story.

Hjärtebok
Jag fick en idé, och gjorde en liten, liten bok insydd i ett tovat omslag. Hjärtat på framsidan är nåltovat efteråt. Stygnen kallas longstitch, och knapparna är till för att fästa trådarna i (den översta knappen) samt för dekoration och symmetri (den nedersta). Boken är skickad till en vän på Alla hjärtans dag.
I had an idea, and made a very small book in a felted cover. The heart is dry-felted on afterwards. The stitches are called longstitch. I have sent the book to a friend for Valentine.

Växande
En layout som har väntat på text ett tag, vilket visade sig vara bra! Kortet är taget i augusti 2009, i ett fodermajsfält på svärfars systers gård. Vi sprang omkring mellan raderna där en stund, i "en perfekt djungel!" enligt Isak, och jag passade på att ta kort förstås. Jag har faktiskt använt min telefon till det här fotot, det är så roligt att ha en riktigt bra kompaktkamera med sig, alltid.
Under hösten som följde växte Edvin mycket och livet förändrades för honom. Det var inte bara enkelt! Själv sa han att det var jobbigt att ändras från ett litet barn till ett stort. Texten handlar om det, och om att jag hoppas kunna vara ett stöd för honom när han växer, och hur skönt det är att vi båda får vila i Guds hand.

Julafton
Vanlig bruksscrapping, och inte ens särskilt intressant text! :D Ibland vill man bara fylla ut luckor i berättelsen...
Jag har just satt in alla mina layouter, som jag någonsin gjort, i mina nya album. De är sorterade efter innehåll, och bara grovt i tidsordning. Plötsligt har jag fått syn på nya saker i den historia som jag berättar med allt jag gör, och också vilka saker som inte finns där, sånt som jag skulle vilja berätta om. Just julaftnar är kanske inte så viktiga egentligen, men det är roligt när man kan lägga många jular efter varandra i en lång rad och se hur tiden har gått, och hur livet (och frisyrerna) förändras.
Very simple scrapbooking, indeed. I just wanted to fill up one of the gaps I've found in my scrapbook-story.
I just recently put all my layouts, that i have ever made, in my LOM-albums, and that helped me see new patterns in my story. Both what I do tell and what I don't. Christmasses might not be that important on their own, but I like the fact that you can put many of them in a long row and see how time has passed and life (and hair-dos) has changed.

Close to my heart! :)
I found this wonderful handmade necklace in an Etsy shop. It's Liz Lamoreux who makes them, and she will custom them as you wish. So now I carry my wish with me all the time.
Jag hittade det här vackra handgjorda halsbandet i en Etsyshop. Det är Liz Lamoreux som gör dem, och hon kan designa dem som man vill själv. Så nu bär jag alltid med mig min önskan.

One little word Blog Hop
Welcome to my blog! I'm so glad you're here, and that we can share our One little word-journeys with each other.
New years resolutions is nothing for me, it´s too much "made up" and it feels like a pressure and something I have to live up to, rather than a helpful tool. But this year I really wolud like to get my acts together as I'm about to leave the SAHM-phase of my life and find a new direction. So I need- a helpful tool.
I stumbled upon a class and a concept, at my trusted scrapbook class site Big Picture Classes. This was Ali Edwards idea of choosing a word as a kind of headline for a whole year, and use it to explore life and your own beeing. This was what I needed!
When I read about the class I started to think about which word I could choose. I thought it wouldn't be any use of signing up for the class if I didn't have a word to start with. But the word popped up almost immediately: I want to know my PATH. I'm looking for my own path through life.
The word that found me is in English. I'm not! But i decided to stick to the English word and to use the translations to Swedish too. I like to see the differences between the words and to use them to further explore my word and it's meanings. Some things are lost in translation, but some are gained!
The Swedish word for PATH is STIG which means more like foot-path or trail, a much smaller track than I would like to see before me through life, haha, but still quite an intriguing thought to ponder. Another swedish word that I could use is VÄG, but that is a very "broad" word that can mean anything from lane to street- or the road itself.
Now I have lived with this word for a month, and so far it has ment that I have reduced my involvement in my church, I have taken a one day class in writing (which is what I really want to do) and I have taken up reading the Bible again after several years (!). The last one is the hardest actually, it's hard to commit to doing something every day, and it's also the most surprising to me. I'm curious to see where it will lead me. On which path?
The first assignment in the Ali Edwards class was to invite and define our word of choise. This is what my invitation page looks like:
The translations of the cards from top left: synonyms to the word VÄG (way), old encyclopedia definition of VÄG, translations of PATH to swedish, reasons why I choose this word, synonyms to PATH, two quotes: "those who get lost find new paths", "the way become (?) as you walk", the word PATH, two scriptures: act 17:28 and john 14:6, my invitation to clarity, strength, enthusiasm and movement.
I have never done this kind of divided layout before, but i really like the style! I have alreadey started another layout of the same kind, with pictures and small snippets from the summer of 2009. I will show it later. :)
And today it's time for the second assignment from the class! I can't wait!
