Friendship.

A 12 x 12 lo with simple elements again, but I did print out the journalling, which is very rare for me! Title says Friendship, and it's done with Gin-X rub-ons, which I adore! // Yksinkertaisia elementtejä taas tässä 12 x 12 tuumaisessa sivussa, mutta pitkästä aikaa printtasin tekstit. Ystävyys on raaputettu Gin-X siirtokirjaimilla, ne on mun suosikkeja!

With auntie Liisa.

Here's another simple 12 x12 lo, with hidden journalling behind the photos. // 12 x 12 tuumainen sivu, kuvan taakse piilotin tekstit tällä kertaa. Eipä paljon yksinkertaisempaa voisi olla :)

Inspired - smile. / Inspiroidu - hymy.

For this week's Inspiroidu-challenge. 6 x6 with Basic Grey, Gin-X and MM. Easy and fast. And yes, for some reason, DD has her undies on her head... // Inspiroidu-haasteeseen 6 x6 tuumainen leiska, Basic Greyn paperit, Gin-X ja MM-siirtokuvia. Nopeaa ja helppoa. Enkä tiedä miksi likalla oli alushousut päässä, sillä oli vaan semmoinen tapa?

Travellin'.

Snacks, a backpack and someone to travel with. That's all you need :) DD in 2003.

Inspired - rub-ons.

Here's what I did for the recent Inspiroidu-challenge.

Bright colors!

Very colorful for me, the black on black title is completely lost on the scan, you can only see the brad I used for a dot :) CS is Bazzill, PP Basic Grey and the title says Suklaatia (chocolates). / Tulipas värikäs! Mustat rub-on kirjaimet eivät näy skannauksessa, mutta otsikko on Suklaatia, Bazzill kartonki, Basic Grey paperit ja Gin-X kirjaimia.

SAY6 kiitos ja kuva!

Kotiväki kertoi puhelimessa, että olen saanut SAY6-postia. Olen itse kotona vasta tiistai-iltana, joten raportti ja kuva sisällöstä tulee heti, kun olen ehtinyt postin avata!
------------
Päivitys: Ohoh, en muuta osaa sanoa! Paketti oli täynnä ihanuuksia, nappeja, eyelettejä, koristeita, kuvia, papereita, hauskat soikeat pelikortit, vaikka mitä, kaikki eivät kuvassa näy...ja upeana lisänä vielä itsetehdyt ihanat korvikset! Kiitos, salainen ystäväni, upeasta paketista!

I'm currently....

...working on cleaning and organising stuff and packing up stuff for a week's trip with DD. We're off tomorrow so bye for now! These puzzle pieces are old but I still like them and want to make more....one of these days...

Things to do in July.

You can go round and round.

You can learn to use a water pump.
Or you can just go skating...

What one might hope for....

...says the title on this little piece I did yesterday, letter size heavy cs, paints, cut outs from old mags.

If you like blog candy, go to Maya's!

Maya is celebrating her over 10 000 visitors with a give away. Go check it out!

Once upon a time... /Olipa kerran...

...there was a scrapper who bought a huge pile of stickers from a friend because they were cheap. Some she used, some she gave to DD and some remain unused. I'm giving them away to the first Finn leaving a comment.

/ ...kerran askartelija, joka osti valtavan pino tarroja kaveriltaan, kun halvalla sai. Osalle oli käyttöä, osan sai lapsi ja osa kerää pölyä. Jos haluat 4 vajaata ja yhden täyden arkin tarroja (näkyvät osittain kuvassa), niin jätä kommentti.

Kids can levitate?

Thanks.

Thank you, Lehtipollo, for this:

All my favs seem to have received it already, so I will be superboring and not nominate anyone...
Maybe I need to find new sites to follow?


Kiitokset tästä kunniasta, kaikki suosikkini ovat tämän jo saaneet, joten on kai aika etsiä uusia blogeja luettavaksi. Jos luet tätä ja tiedät/epäilet että en ole käynyt luonasi visiitillä, niin jätä kommentti!

Not much going on.

Still a week to go before summer vacation starts for me. DD has been busy playing outside with her little friends but I'm not getting anything done. A small 6 x 6 lo is all I have to share, Colorful and Tired, says the title. The dark blue background scanned black.

Matchboxes.

Xing arranged a matchbox swap, and I got this pretty little thing from Liisa. My box went to Xing and its the brown one in her post. Gotta love small goodies!

Xingin tikkulootavaihdossa parikseni osui Liisa, jonka ihana aski oli täynnä kukkia, nauhoja, haaraniittejä... Kiitos sinulle, Liisa! Oma lootani meni vaihtoemolle.

Gone for a week.

You can find me here, if you really need to see me :)

Gone for Midsummer.

I'm taking DD over to her grandparents' for Midsummer so I'm offline until Sunday. Hope the sun will shine!! Happy Midsummer!

Keep your head warm.

Stripes.

The camera hates me, the scanner hates me. This is supposed to be orange, the background is lovely Bazzill textured cs...oh well, I've tried. This is for Inspiroidu, too.

Inspired Again.

I did one of the earlier challenges at Inspiroidu, too. Better late than never. Some of the potty scenery has been airbrushed out. I will get better photos next week, I promise!!

Inspired.

A new Finnish blog offers inspiration for scrappers, visit Inspiroidu! This week was all about grouping photos and framing them. Here's my take on it, with a bad bad photo and title Tiny Touch. The single circle clip secures a journalling tag at the back of the 12 x 12 lo.

All I have is Kid Art!

I haven't done anything crafty for a while, not even played with my new Basic Gray papers. Shame on me. Luckily there is always kid art, DD swapped ATCs for the first time some weeks ago.

Been busy.

Last week of school for DD, tons of stuff to do...will be back soon!

Swapped.

More spring cleaning give aways (in Finnish only).

Vaihdan kahteen ATC-korttiin kaksi pientä ideakirjaa, kirjoittaja Jill A. Rinner, kirjat Creative Lettering, the Secrets Revealed ja Designer Die Cuts. Hihkaise kiinnostuksesi kommenttilootassa :)

Spring cleaning. (In Finnish only)

Kevätsiivousta koitan viritellä, ja tarjolla olisi kuorellinen paperien, kartonkien, tarrojen jne palasia. Aivan sekalaista seurakuntaa. Annetaan hyvään kotiin, eli ensimmäiselle haluajalle, kiitoksena toivon ATC-kortin :)

Nope.

I changed a dimensional "hope" sticker into a "nope" sticker :)

Turku / Åbo

This was made from the materials I got from my secret friend, whom I suspected to be from Turku/Åbo :) .

Art everywhere.

Ghosts.

No middle ground.

Secret cards.

These are the cards I sent to Jaana, whom I got to pamper during the round of secret friends, SATCY2. All materials were received my secret friend, Ansku. / Nämä kortit matkasivat Jaanalle SATCY2-kierroksen viimeisenä lähetyksenä, kortit on tehty niistä materiaaleista, joita sain Anskulta tällä kierroksella :) Kiitos Ansku, ja kiitos kiitoksista Jaana!

Blog candy goes to... / Blogikarkit saa...

Kultahippu!

No longer a secret /SATCY

My secret friend is no longer a secret. Thank you Ansku for spoiling me over the past few weeks, it was truly appreciated!

SATCY2 paljastui, Ansku onnistui pysymään salaisena vaikka kävin hullun lailla läpi Turun seudun ATC-vaihtajia :) Kiitos kivoista korteista ja tarvikkeista, joita sain viime viikkojen aikana!

Blog candy / blogikarkkia

I have this set of lovely clear stamps that I got during one of the rounds of secret friends. I love some of the stamps, but some are going unused so I'm gonna give them away. I managed to make a really bad scan of them, but bear with me, please. The stamps are unused and in prime condition (even if they look chopped up in the scan). I will throw in some bits and pieces of paper and an ATC, too. All you have to do is to leave a comment by Thursday morning (my time) and I will draw a name and post the goodies.

Ja samma på finska: Sain yhden salainen ystävä-kierroksen aikana tämän superkivan setin polymeerileimasimia, mutta ikävä kyllä osa on sellaisia, jotka eivät vain istu kortteihini :(
Siksi annan ne pois! Kuva on huono, leimasimet ovat käyttämättömiä ja ehjiä. Lisään pakettiin vielä sekalaista paperitavaraa ja tekemäni ATC-kortin. Jätä viesti torstaiaamuun mennessä ja olet mukana arvonnassa!

Term of references.

Ebba sorted and typed.

Powers of seduction.

Another ATC just for me, from materials received during the round of secret ATC friends.

Amusing vulgarities.

ATC made from materials that I've received from my secret ATC friend, SATCY2. This one I'm keeping for me :)

One, two.

6 x6 layout with Bazzill, Basic Grey and some rub-ons. I had some leftover prints of DD's b-day pics, 1st and 2nd. Look at those adorable cheeks she had when she was one!

Trade.

For ATC38 at Hiekkaoliivi. The link to the pretties I got in return from Hiekkaoliivi is here.

Thank you, my secret ATC friend, SATCY2!

I have no clue who you are but the goodies you send are perfect! / Siis oikeesti, mulla ei oo aavistustakaan kuka olet, mutta aina onnistut lähettämään ihania juttuja, joten kiitos, ja pian salaisuudet selviää!

Brilliant mail days!

Gotta love the mail I've been getting over the past few days:

- from Wendy

- from Elle

- three cards from Hiekkaoliivi, Purple Mosaic, What happened? and Need a break?

- from Helmetti

- and a lovely pack of supplies and a pretty card from AnneHelena

Spring.

It snowed a lot yesterday, but today there is again sunshine and it just may be spring. All this light is making me use colours I normally wouldn't use. This little ATC accompanied a "clean your stash"- swap.

From my secret ATC friend / SATCY2

More amazing goofies from my secret friend, and she had packed it all in an altered tin, too! / SATCY2 jatkuu ja tällä kertaa sain ihanassa koristelussa rasiassa nappeja, nauhoja ja haaraniittejä, sekä vanhoja kirjan sivuja ja nuotteja! Kiitos, nappipaketti :)

Let there be movement.

This child of mine is meant to swirl and dance around. Hope she stays that way.

Witness.

A Bit of Silliness.

Fish on a Bike for Take Part, Fish Theme.

A Good Saturday.

Gotta love catalogue cards. Make your own here.

Goodies from secret ATC friend / SATCY2

Once again, lovely goodies from my secret ATC friend, SATCY2.

SATCY2 kierros jatkui 20 kuvan paketilla, taas kerran nappivalintoja, ja erikoiskiitos hauskasta ja opettavaisesta kortista :)

Rested.

"I returned to my busy life well rested."

ATC with Basic Grey, rub-on image and a bit of text from old mag.

Not an ATC.

It's fun to work on bigger formats than ATCs for a change. Here's a card for all the moms out there -- "I couldn't possibly take time off, says mom."

From my secret ATC friend / SATCY2

It's been snowing and snowing here since last night and when I finally got home (by foot), there was the most woderful envelope waiting for me! You can see a glimpse of the decorations above, together with a lovely card, and amazing goodies that came in the envie!

Kamala lumituisku senkun jatkuu ja olin kotiin tullessa aivan läpimärkä ja vihainen, mutta SATCY2-kierroksen eka yllärikuori pelasti päivän! Upeasti koristelu kuori, hauska kortti, ihania leikekuvia kauniissa pikkukansiossa ja superkivoja taustapapereita paketissa, jonka kääreen käytän keti askarteluun lankoineen kaikkineen! Kiitos vallan mainiosta paketista salainen ystäväni!

Pressure.

"I have felt this pressure in my chest".

Kid art.

DD made an ATC. My kid! The card is called Butterflies and a tulip.
