Taking the yearly family portrait

Taking the yearly portrait was a fun and somewhat crazy experience. it is hard to get 3 kids to cooperate at the same time... anyway this one turned out OK.
I customized a text stamp for this and all coming family portraits.
I also made a post stamp which I used on the photo itself.

Stamps I designed and made using the Teresa Collins stampmaker :

So awesome ♥

Today I am showing a page where I have played a bit with structure paste and mists.
I do hope you like it.

Colorful ♥ Färgstark

It was a long time since I made this page - couln't show it due to publication rules -  but I still like it. I used feather stamps that I stamped both directly on the background and on some transparent paper to create a dimensional effect.

 Stamps I used:

On the way to camp

This week I am going to show a few pages that I made in 2013 but haven't been able to show due to publication rules.

On this page I have used very little pattern paper and instead I have used mists and stamps to create an interesting background. 

All the stamps I made using my Teresa Collins Stampmaker. 
And here are the stamps I used:

  

You can go find the stamps during the different free downloads or you can just grab those 4 stamps right here.

2013 in review

2013 was the year when we made our first long trip with our kids. We started planning in January and buying the flight tickets and then all along the year we have booked different accomodation. It was a fantastic family adventure. Therefore when we had a challenge over at The Studio Challenges to make a pagereflecting back on 2013 it had to be all about Thailand.

This is my first page scrapping those photos of chrystal clear water, snorkeling, riding elephants and taking Thai Massage but not the last. More will come very soon I promise.
