Sketch challenge

We are having a sketch challenge at DESIGN in PAPER right now, there is some great prizes to win, among others a guest DT spot. Great, right? I made the sketch for the challenge and I had an image in my head of the lines being stitches or maybe paint running down the paper. But then I went to pick up a new DT kit and saw the new Shine Bright collection by Kaisercraft and fell in loooooove. This collection is seriously awesome! And this black and white paper is super cool! I used that for the stripes in the sketch instead and was very happy I dared to cut into the pretty papers. The first cut in a new collection is the hardest I think.

If you like the sketch I have an archive with some sketches I've made in the sidebar. Feel free to use them as you like as long as you link back to me :)

I hope you will join us for this challenge, you can find all the details here at DESIGN in PAPERS (in Swedish). Also go check out the amazing news when you are there. Becky Higgins is coming to Scandinavia and will be visiting Stockholm and Gothenburg in May/June. I'm super excited about this, I will be helping out in Gothenburg and will be listening in on her classes. I really love that she takes the time to travel all the way here, it will be super inspiring I'm sure. 

Thank you for stopping by today! I'll be back later this week with some cards I made for the A Blog Named Hero facebook page earlier that I hadn't had time to put up on the blog. I'm not sure where all the time goes but I can't seem to get anything done lately.

Fist I wanted to tell you I’m thinking of moving my blog to typepad, I’m trying it out right now. If you see this in my blogger-blog please pop over to http://mayasblog.typepad.com and give me some feedback on wich you like the most. If you see it in typepad you can visit my blogger-blog at http://smautbrott.blogspot.com . I think I will move since I really like the platform and all the tools and great layouts. But I wouldn’t want to lose any of my regular visitors, you make my day! Just looking in at the stats and seeing how many of you who pops by regularly from all over the world makes my heart happy! So please help me decide! I’ll be double posting for a while.

I wanted to give Project Life a try. I know I wont be making a spread every week, I don’t take enough pictures and don’t have the dicipline to make something each week (and I realised it was much more tie consuming than I anticipated) but maby once a month or for special days like Christmas. So I started out with my brothers great pictures from this Christmas and Simple Stories 24/7-collection kit.

I really like how my first spread turned out but as I said. It took a lot of time! I like to be able to scrap a lot of pictures at once. I was a bit supriced at how much supplies that I used for one spread, but I like to embellish ;)

I know I’ll love looking at this page in the future and I added some more journaling behind the cards. I like how it sort of captures all the parts of our christmas all at once and then you can see some more details if you look closer. So I’ll definetly do some more PL-inspired scrapbooking but it won’t be that often I think. I’ll put the pages in my regular albums. I just put them in the order I make them. I probably should sort them later but at the moment I only have two full albums (need to get a new one), I dont do that many LOs. How do you sort your LOs?
