It that time of the week.... to show you my example for http://www.practicalscrappers.com/ this week it´s about stamping, and I made this lo using Heidi Swapp´s Masking and stamping technique. I´ve used several of my favorite stamps to make the frame to the photo.
I love this charming photo of ds#2, he´s on the way to a birthday party and I asked him to smile at me to take a photo before he left... I adore this kid! He´s the cutest!
Thanks for stopping by! /Pia


BTW!! Next week, the NEW format of Practical Scrappers will be released! Hope to see you there!!

Jag är lycklig!!


Den här serien damp ner i min brevlåda idag... eller förresten jag hämtade den på Ica, men ändå!! :)))))
Jag hoppas jag får mycket tid i helgen att göra nya lo´s med denna serie. Kom tillbaka imorgon, då kommer mitt exempel för PracticalScrappers.com som i veckan har tema "Stämplar".

Ribbon-time at PS!


This week I made a lo of our trip to Legoland in 2009. I used the VERY girly pp´s "Sugarrush" from Basic Grey and added a shark picture! LOL! I think it really works! :)
The ribbon is adhered with double sided tape and pleated when I attached it to the layout! A lot of handdrawn doodles again, of course!

Thanks for stopping by! And if you make a lo or another project with ribbons this week - link it HERE!!
