Purple and green at Punky Scraps

Today I want to show you my DT layout for Punky Scraps May challenge. We have an awesome color combination for you – purple and green. We also have an inspiring sketch. Here is my interpretation:

 

I used watercolour to create a background inspired by the sketch using purple and green. I also doodled circles to frame one sticker, one flair button and one heart.

Here are two close ups:

 

I really loved this color combination! I hope you do too. Welcome to play along!!

Liebster award with questions and answers

SannaLippert send me an Award and has passed on some questions for me to answer. I thought this was a very fun award so I definetely wanted to answer and pass it on (it has taken quite a while, though). I am not very good at English but I have done my best. Before reading my answers you should go and visit Sanna‘sblog. She is a really talented and warm hearted scrapbooker who shares a lot of her tips and tricks with us. There are always something inspiring to find! Thank you Sanna for this reward. Here are my answers:

1.      What is your favorite TV soap?

 

Actually, I never watch TV. I prefer scrapbooking, reading etc. I think life is too short to waste it on watching TV.

 

2. Where would you travel to, if you had an open end budget?

 

In 1995, before I met my husband I spend 3 month in the countryside in Tanzania. I would love to show my husband and our daughter all the places I visited and to meet the people I got to know there. And of course I would go to a place I have never visited before. That would be Angkor wat in Cambodia.

 

3. What was your favorite thing to do as a child?

 

Running and drawing.

 

4. Share a funny story that has happened to you

 

Some weeks ago my 5-year old daughter said. I am just growing and growing. Then she looked at me and said: But you are not, you are just becoming a grandma.

5. Share a photo from where you live – someting typical to your country

 

This is our favorite place:

6. Why do you scrap?

2% to save memories, 49% to relax, 49% to have fun.

7. What would you like to learn, but never did?

Parashouting.

8. What was your dream job as a kid?

I am not sure, but I think I wanted to be a teacher.

9. Who would you like to meet in real life?

My grandmothers aunt Gerda. She chose never to marry, she travelled to foreign countries and was partying back in the 1920’s. I met her when I was I child, but I did not know that her life was so unusual.

10. What´s on your bucket list?

I want a new, huge, balcony on our house. A bit too expensive at the moment. But we will soon build a long pergola in the garden and I have been longing for that for a long time. If you meant something for scrapbooking I need some small text stickers to use for my project life pages.

Mother and child

This month challenge at ARTastic is about motherhood and flowers. There is also a painting by Robert Hagan to be inspired by. Here is my take on the challenge:

 

And here is the painting:

 

 

My photo shows me and my daughter. She tells me every day that she loves me more than space (lucky me!). I am not allowed to respond with the same words so I answer that I love her more than universe. I wanted to save it to the future so I wrote it in two speech bubbles.

I only had one stamp with a speech bubble but I wanted one on each side. What to do? I stamped it on cardstock, turned it around, held it against a window, draw the mirrored speech bubble with a pencil and filled its lines with a black pen.

On the background I made some flowers using water colors. If you want a tutorial on how to make them you will find one here at ARTastic.

Here is a close up of the flowers:

 

Thanks for looking! I hope you want to join in on the challenge at ARTastic! I am donating a RAK this month. :)
