"Solid" - by Arnlaug Koppang

Hi everybody! Finally summer has arrived in Norway and we are truly enjoying each day:-)

I made a layout about my girls playing football together. They are so looking forward to starting on the team "Solid", but they still have to wait a couple of years until they start school.

This page is a really easy page to make, and I think the result is super fun! All I did was punching out circles in different sizes. I also puched out the pictures. To make the pics stand more out I used some gelatos around the edges. 

Since this is a page about football (soccer) I thought it would be fun to keep everything in a round shape. So what's more perfect to use than PP buttons? 

Love the fabric once and you'll find tons of them in the Purple Pumpkin shop. 

"And then she fell asleep.." - by Arnlaug Koppang

Hi again Purple Pumpkin fans! Today I want to show you a really easy and quick page.

I started out with the paint sample palette and put together a few items to go with it. The tag has the same colors as the palette. The bazzill is infact a light pink but on a grey, rainy day it's impossible to get a good photo..

On this page I've used a cute heart button and a beautiful crochet flower from the shop.

Thanks for looking:-)

"Put on a show" - by Arnlaug Koppang

Hi!

Back again to show you my take on the latest scrap365 challenge at CSI. The case file is closed now, but there are lots of inspiration to be found:-)

I've made a mixed media layout this time. First I glued down lots of scraps, paper flowers and chipboard and then I painted over them. After that I sprayed lots of different mists on and got this great background. To finish it of I embellished the page with small dots and the big, bright Purple Pumpkin buttons:-)

Thanks for looking:-)

"Favorite" - by Arnlaug Koppang

Hi you all!

Today I really want to show of one of the cutest Purple Pumpkin buttons ever! Just look at that teddybear<3 

Unfortunately I don't have any close ups for you, but it's hard not to spot it;-)

I also used some washi tape and black motex tape. 

Thanks for looking:-)

"In the middle of the night" - by Arnlaug Koppang

This page is made for the first challenge at the "new" Color room. The color room are merging with Scrap for Help, and we will incorporate a household item to use with the Palette, making the challenge even more fun, creative and 'green', using some of the throw away items in our crafting.  In the future we will incorporate Cynthia's vision of helping the community, to raise money here and there for worthy charities across the Globe, which we plan to do periodically.  So watch out for that too!!!

This page is made by adding molding paste, mists and then gesso. 

As Junkmail I've used some stamps and also a luggage tag from the vacation I've scrapped:-)

On this page I've used one of my super cute elephant buttons and a ticket from Purple Pumpkin. 

"A ride with the carousel" - by Arnlaug Koppang

This month I'm a guest designer at a norwegian challenge blog called Thats just so cute. I put together a mini class on how I make some of my backgrounds. The challenge is to make a mixed media projects using at least two different mediums. Join in if you want, the challenge is open until the 28. of march.

As always the Purple Pumpkin buttons are perfect for my page:-) So cute:-) I also used some twine here.

"waiting for the bus" - by Arnlaug Koppang

Hi everyone! Hope you're having a fantastic saturday:-)

Today I'm going to show you a page I did for the latest case file over at CSI. Still time to join in on the fun;-)

I recently went on vacation to Tenerife with my family. So nice to get some sun and warm climate in the middle of the cold norwegian winter:-) 

This page is made by simply stamping some distress ink on a acrylic block and sprizing it with water, and then pressing it on to the cardstock. 

Next I layered some Purple Pumpkin washi tape and some stamps. I made a flap by stapling together a tag, a little paper bag and a project life card. Behind it are some more memories from our trip.

As always the buttons are just perfect for the cute little details:-)

 Looove the bird washi:-)

 I also love using motex tape for the title.

Thanks for looking:-)

"Photo shoot" by Arnlaug Koppang

This weekend we had a crop on the internett with a bunch of my norwegian scrap-friends:-) On of the challenges was to lift a great layout by Elisabeth. She is one of my favorite scrappers so it was so fun to try to lift her:-)

The layout was made by splashing some mist on the background using baking paper:-) Then I layered all the element and it was a quick and fun page to do:-) 

 As usual the Purple Pumpkin goodies are perfect:-) On this page I have used a crochet doily, a fabric button and a wooden button from the Purple Pumpkin shop. 

Thanks for looking:-)

A place for rest - by Arnlaug Koppang

Hi Purple Pumpkin lovers:-)

Today I want to show you one of my favorite places in the world, the place where my grandmother lives. There is no place I relax more then here and it's so beautiful between the massive mountains. This picture I took on one of my many walks and it is a perfect place to rest. 

On this layout I've used two different fabric buttons that I've put some paint on. I've also used some twine behind the photo. 

Merry Christmas - by Arnlaug Koppang

I guess I'm a bit late for merry Christmas, but I can wish you all a happy new year! I had a wonderful holiday, just relaxing with my family and eating lots of nice food:-)

This Friday I finally got scrapping again and managed to scrap this cute picture of my to girls on Christmas eve. Love it when I get the Christmas layouts done right away because I can't get it right the rest of the year.

On this layout I've used two red and white fabric buttons, which suits a Christmas layout perfectly:-)

"once upon a time" by Arnlaug Koppang

Hi everyone!

I had planned to show you a christmas project today, but my project had a little accident before I got a picture of it, so you'll get an early spring layout instead;-)

Our family always try to spend a lot of time outside, and this cold spring day was perfect for a walk in the woods:-)

On this page I used a neutral color palette with a touch of red.  I've used a few wooden buttons and some washi tape from the Purple Pumpkin store.

I really love this layout as I find it capturing the magical moment in the woods:-)

I want to wish you all a wonderful christmas celebrating tomorrow and the following days:-)

"4 years" - by Arnlaug Koppang

Hi everybody!

This weekend my youngest daughter turned 3 years old:-) I haven't scrapped her yet, but I'm in that birthday celebrating mood so I thought I could show you the layout from when my oldest one turned 4.

This layout is made by layering lots of scraps and covering it with different kinds of media. Then I sprayed it all with glimmermist.

In the Purple Pumpkin store there are so many happy and bright embellishments, perfect for a birthday layout!

I've used a big spotty button and a flair button with a cupcake on:-)

I also used a star and a butterfly button.

Hope you're all enjoying your christmas preperations:-)

"splash and play" - by Arnlaug Koppang

Happy saturday everybody! Altough it's winter here in Norway I'm still looking back at summer:-)

This time I'm inspired at the latest case file over at CSI, love the palette! I've used distress ink on the background and around the edges, and just layered various papers and embellishments.

This button is just perfect for this summer page!

And theese wooden strawberries are just so cute!

 Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Prima ballerina - by Arnlaug Koppang

Hi everyone:-)

This fall my oldest daughter started taking ballet classes, and she loves it! She also loves scrapping and she especially loves the pages with lots of flowers and girly colors;-) When I got my last Purple Pumpkin parcel she tried to grab as much as she could from the goodies and proclaimed that she was of scrapping;-) 

So this layout is full of girly colors and embellishments:-)

I started out layering lots of scraps and then I added some molding paste trough a stencil on top. I embellished my page with lots of different  flowers, brads and pearls and a few epoxy stickers.

 I also, of course, managed to sneak in some Purple Pumpkin goodies:-) That ballerina button is just perfect, and I love the pink and white felt heart:-)

 And finally a close-up of my little proud ballerina:-)

See you next time!

"the kite runner" - by Arnlaug Koppang

Hi everybody!

Winter is just around the corner here in Norway and I enjoy looking back at sunny days and keep the warm, sunny days alive:-)

This layout is about a day at the beach on holiday in Denmark. The wind was super strong and my daughter got to fly a kite for the very first time. She truly enjoyed it and you can see how happy and proud she is:-) My daugther loves pink, flowers and girlie things so she really loved this page.

On this page I used a lovely,  YoYo flower, a crochet doily, a pink fabric button and a ticket - all pink!

Hope you enjoyed my post:-)
