Simple, but special

Had a little difficulty taking a picture of this layout. Had to turn the flash off and go outside, but outside it was so bright I couldn't see the image on the display.. So the end result is just a little bit crooked and cropped, but ah well :-D

This is a pretty simple layout that I made during the time we were living at my mom and dad's house. I had taken the girls out on a picnic up on the hill, and during the steep walk up there we had to stop and rest (especially me, since I was carrying Ellen). I took out my camera and got a few pictures taken. I fell in love with this one and wanted to keep the layout simple to emphasize on the photo. I thought these papers from Basic Grey went perfetly with the picture. The rugged look melts in with the ground.
I cut out the letters for the title by hand, from the same paer I cut out the flowers. With a bit of chestnut roan chalk, and a white sakura gel pen they look pretty cool (doesn't always have to be die cuts or stickers ;-)).

Finally, I am back..

Been a long time now.
I moved with my family to live with my mom and dad while we were renovating our house. I thought it would be for 2, 3 months but it took 7 whole months before we could move in. We still don't have the major bathroom or laundryroom finished though so we still do laundry and shower at our parents houses.. at least we have a kitchen and wc :-)

During the 7 months we lived with mom and dad I got about 4-5 layouts made, since all my scrap stuff was in boxes. Now I scrap by the kithcen table, since i don't have my own scrap space yet either.

The pictures of my most recent layouts are still in my camera, I haven't founf the USB cable yet, but below are two I made right before we moved that I am quite happy with. I made my own decorations on both of them.

In about a month I will be holding scrap classes 4 thursdays in a row. Looking forward to that.
