Frameworthy Challenge at SBG

November 23rd, 2009

daughter-natureFor the Frameworthy Challlenge featuring the art of Frida Kahlo.

I chose one of Frida’s self portraits where she is surrounded by big leaves in the back. My impression of the painting was she was where she felt the most at home.

My inspiration was of course my daughter whom to me evokes mother nature at her finest and she feels very at home outside, at the sea and she adores flowers.

The digital challenges at scrapbookgraphics.com are so much fun!  Why not join in!  I just finished posting my go at the Frameworthy Challenge for this week.  My fish…

myfishThe challenge was to choose an inspiration fish ( first time I have been inspired by a fish, personally)  so I picked this one

Arranging for Winter Scrapping

November 14th, 2009

We spent a great part of last Saturday re-arranging our family room.  Last year I had purchased the two tables and painted and stained them for the purpose of having one big scrap table.  It felt like Hannah was still too little for the huge table last year but this year it seemed perfect!  It took alot of moving and sorting and sweat but we got it arranged and Hannah is already busy scrapping!

It is hard to believe how much furniture lives in this room, but it still feels pretty spacious and not too crowded.  Now we can leave our mess and supplies out without having to clean up the dining room table for supper all the time!  Hannah loves scrapping and has made some pretty cool collages of all the things she loves.  We went to the dollar store yesterday for some new supplies :)  She is also a great believer in making your own pictures if you don’t have what you need!

You can see my desk in the corner, I used to take up alot more room but thought I could give away some space :)
