About Me

Maybe-not-really-20-something-anymore from Norway who likes to scrapbook and take photos documentarystyle and dreams of photojournalism when not working as a photojournalist and that's pretty much what this blog is about. And I like it this way.



My Scrapbooking

Been scrapbooking since late fall 2005. Currently fortunate enough to be a part of the design teams for Hambly Screenprints, Fancy Pants Designs and Pencil-Lines. ♥

Since last time I’ve made a box outta Maya Road’s lunch boxes, decorated’em with more Maya Road embellishments.

The booklet/card is made outta cardboard – cut’em out, adhere patterned papers & decorate..

Wrapping more stuff, using the perfect stamps from Craft Origine :)

ania_aug

Even getting to use good ol’ Scenic Route papers :)

Life’s sort of slow and fast at the same time. Lots of time spent on work and other work-related stuff, like studying for an upcoming exam and doing exciting and inspiring projects.

 

So I’ve decided to start a little bit earlier on gifts and stuff. I think. I hope.

 

 

In other news, Maya Road is announcing a new card kit type thing. Go check it out :)

Also – check out this song – yeah - I’m late to the party, but I love it now, that’s what count, eh? :)

Don’t you love the nod to Wicked’s Popular? :)

Somebody’s got married yesterday.

Evidently.

_D3S3758-copy

I adore weddings. I love being part of them.

_D3S3819-copy

Y’know, everything about weddings, from witnessing the very first look….

_D3S3832

The first touch.._D3S4188-copy

The chaos right before the ceremony…

_D3S4076-copy

The wedding portraits..

_DSC7396-copy

The looks…

_DSC7281-copy_D3S4145-copy

_D3S4583-copy

_DSC7735-copy

The (many) kisses…

_D3S4886-copy

The warmth and joy coming from family and friends celebrating the holy matrimony together.

_DSC7792-copy

And little moments like this, mirroring the quirks and typical feats of the day, like the day being so hot…these are the reasons why I love being part of a couples special day.

Thank you so much, Mariann and Stein-Olav!

~~ Enjoying cards ~~

Posted by Ania On Friday, July 19, 2013 0 lovely comments

I enjoy doing cards more and more – I gotta admit that. Although more often than not my cards maybe aren’t that traditional sort of….?

Nevertheless..here’s a card I made a while ago, using ColorConspiracy papers & a piece of Maya Road journaling spot.

 

Speaking of Maya Road, it’s reveal time over at the Maya Road Company Blog, and with that – prizes and such to win…

Some of my faves so far are these metal thingies:

These wooden hearts:

These lightbulb transparencies..

And these tu tu tulle flowers in new, soft pastel colors:

 

Love tradeshow & reveal time – I keep pinning my faves here if you’re interested :)

~~ A Prima Chocolate Box ~~

So, it’s been a while since I played along with the Prima BAP, but the July sketch by Marie-Nicolas Alliot was so inspiring so I played happily along :)

ania_primabox2

Along with a bunch of my Prima scraps and flowers, I also added some of my fave Maya Road pins..

ania_primabox3

As well as some red paper twine cording (also Maya Road), and this time I also decided to add decorations along the sides…The Ingrid Bolme resin well was colored with ink, also by Ingrid Bolme. Love these, they’re my fave chalk inks atm…

ania_primabox4

Feels like I’ve been scrapping and creating with graphic papers only lately, so it was fun to go a bit romantic-ish again :)

~~ More Facebook-headers ~~

Posted by Ania On Sunday, July 14, 2013 0 lovely comments

Hum.

Seems like I left on a mini vacation without posting the rest of my FB-headers! =)

 

januar

So. January. Taken at the same slope that I used to practice skiing and sledging at my childhood home (a very small/flat slope – perfect for small children :p).

febfeb2feb3feb4

For February I tested four different headers…only used one or maybe two of them though. These is the annual birthday party invitations photos slash look how big you’ve become portraits– Adrian turned twelve.

mars

For March I used this one, an iPhone-photo of the kids and their cousin from one of our small hikes around the home.

 

april

This one’s for April – Amalie turned 8…

påskeheader

One for Easter…ania_mai

May…taken at the bdayparty for Amalie…mai2

Also May…taken during an assignment for the paper – doing a feature on bird spotters at Herdla.

junijuni2

For June I started off with the first header above, although I did consider the latter for a while…

 

juni4

Then wrapped up June with this one, also taken at Herdla.

juli2

July started with this header of Amalie and Kasper..

juli3

And I think I’ll stick to this one from the recent trip to Oslo for the rest of the month…

 

And for those wondering the exact measurements of the Facebook headers…it’s 851px x 315 px if you want to create premade headers …:)
