Scraptastic 2013; part 2 and 3

So my recap of the events in Belgium last month continues, and here is more fun from the trip.

My second class on the first night was a 2 hrs class with sweet Carmen Roets, and the project was to alter a cigar box. 
We used Graphic 45 papers, a lot of black paint, some fussy cutting and some Tim Holtz stamps and the result is really really cool!
This was Carmens first scrap class, but she can rest assured that she was awesome! 

Wasn't this such an awesome way to alter a cigar box? 
I'm on my way to my attic to dig out the bag with old cigar boxes and boy am I going to have fun! 
After this class it was late and my hotel room called for me to get some much needed rest, after all I did get up at 03.30 that day….

Here she is - sweet Carmen! <3

My first class on Saturday was with Ania Dabrowska aka Finnabair. 

I had all together 3 classes with Ania.

(yes, I know - you're thinking AGAIN?, but I simply lovelovelove her classes, and many of the original classes I had signed up for got cancelled. Not that Ania's classes wasn't an amazing substitute! They truly were! )

The first class was a layout class using tea, and since the first time I heard about her tea stain coloring, I've wanted to take one of these classes. I love the effect from the tea, and this was definitely not my last project using it. I have to try this technique with different kind of teas, and especially the typical Norwegian "nypete" (rose hip tea) that has a wonderful red-pink color.

I'v been wanting to make a layout with an old picture of my great aunt and uncle that built the house that we now live in. I was always very close to them, and it's only right that their photo comes up on our wall.

 

Here's the layout all framed and ready for hanging. I love it so much! 

Take care my friends! See you soon!

Finnabair class - part 2

Det andre kurset til Anna Dabrowska hadde LO som tema og enda en gang ble det utfordrende og spennende. Vi brukte nydelige papirer fra 7Dots studio, maske fra Prima, masse herlig Primaprodukter og andre dibbedutter og stæsj. Herlige mister fra Tattered Angels og mist og akrylmaling fra Luminarte. 
Jeg simpelten elsker resultatet! 

On my second class with Anna Dabrowska our project was to make a LO, and it was just as inspiring and challenging as the first class. We used gorgeous papers from 7 dots studio, a mask from Prima, lots of great Prima stuff and a lot og different trinkets and stash. Beautiful mists from Tattered Angels and mists and acrylic paint from Luminarte.
I simply love the result!

Finnabair class - part 1

Jeg kan nesten ikke tro det, men jeg var så heldig å få delta på ikke mindre enn tre kurs med den utrolig givende, talentfulle og søte Anna Dabrowska aka Finnabair. Første kurset var en 20x20 cm lerret og her fikk jeg virkelig lekt meg med stæsj, pynt og lag på lag! 

I almost can't believe it, but I was lucky enough to attend three of the incredibly talented and sweet Finnabair's classes some time back, and the first one was a 20x20 cm canvas, and boy did I get to play around with colors, embellishments and layers!

Her er lerretet før jeg har begynt den morsomme prosessen å spraye, miste og male. 
Bildet er elendig kvalitet, men ville bare vise hvor mye det endrer seg underveis.
This is a picture of how the canvas looked before I started misting and adding embellishments, and although the picture is of terrible quality, you get the idea of how much it changes.

Her er ett annet bilde, men med litt mer lys så det går an å se hvor mye stæsj som egentlig fant veien til lerretet til slutt. Dette var virkelig morsomt og givende, for ikke å snakke om en super måte å få brukt alle blomstene med rare farger og de små dingsene som ligger i bunnen av skuffer og esker! GØY!

This is another picture of the finished canvas, here with more light added so you see just how much stash is glued one here. Such a great way to use all the flowers with the peculiar colors and the little bits and bobs you find in the bottom of boxes and drawers!

Takk for at du tittet innom!/Thank you for stopping by!
