Little Corner of Ania

It’s been a few intense weeks filled w/lots of stuff going on…love being busy & gain more experience, hate feeling stressed though! I mean, I haven’t gotten around to scrap for like, more than a week, which’s horrible…I managed to make a card yesterday though, and have two more I need to make for next week..

Nevertheless, here’s a few more photos from lately that I haven’t gotten around to share – both private photos & more photos from both the aforementioned photosession + wedding :)

First, two photos from Amalies birthdayparty:

She wasn’t too entirely happy about mommy having to photograph how lovely she was. Hence the not too cheerfully expression on her face. Sigh. ;p She does look lovely still, in the beautiful dress she inherited from her cousin :)We had a food-booth with play-money (made from cardstock-scraps – great idea to get rid of all the bits and pieces you don’t have the heart to just throw away ;p). The kids loved it…Adrian manned the booth, while daddy fixed the food :) (Just one advice though – hide the dessert-part of the menu or else the kids will want the dessert first ;p)

Now some more photos from the photosession w/Ronny and Silje:

Playing with teddybears!

Cuteness!

Not sure how to explain this ;p The photos we did were a mix of general goofiness, playfullness & sweetness :)

“If you liked it you shoulda put a ring on it” ;)
(Naa they’re not engaged or anything. Just wanted to test this kind of shot :) )

:)

“Oh yeah I’m so handsome & cool” ;) More silliness :)

I found this one pretty cute :) Note to self: Close the darn doors in the background!!

Yeah. Definitely close the doors. Heh :)

 

Hmm I added the weddingphotos then realized the post would become waaaaay longer than it already is, so I’m gonna save the rest of the wedding-photos for tomorrow :) You can see some of the photos Maren put out on her blog already though if you’re interested in them :)

Instead, I’m gonna share two photos of the kids..

Amalie’s been fascinated by those small figurines lately…

In addition to the big dragons she thinks this one rocks – come on – it’s got four arms!!

  She and Adrian played some more this morning too ♥

Mkay, soon off to a Tivoli…no rest for the wicked….moar work awaits!

So I shot this lovely little wedding last Saturday for my friend Maren – not done going through all the photos, but here’s a “few” peeks – my personal faves…she wanted me to shoot this photojournalism-style - totally my fave when it comes to weddings :)

Outside the hairdresser - loved to get this kind of shot - a peek through the door..

There´s those darn iPhones again!! Me wants!!

Beautiful Maren - her hair was fab, and I loved how she reminded me of Marilyn Monroe.

"Is this really me?" :D

Relaxing some while the cousin gets her hair done..

Aww..the groom obviously liked what he saw..

Those darn ties...

"Um, hurry back home hon, there´s a stranger in the livinroom taking pictures of me all.the.time!!" ;) (the bride drove her cousin downtown while the groom made himself ready at home)

"Letsee how to do this lacing up..."

Sorta starting to feel the nerves some..

"Yeah sure, we´ll be there soon" (darn those iPhones!)

"Is everybody here? Can we start?" (At the Urdihouse, where the wedding took place)

"Dude, you so better say ´yes´...."

Aww he did!

More "aww"-moments..

"OH yeah!"

"That´s a good boy!"

The brides littlesister´s a budding photographer :)

Oy hey, there´s Marie! Hi! (Totally LOVED her ´20s outfit!)

Marie, Maren & Eli :) (latter one in Askøybunad)

Uh yeah. Just had to sneak in a jumpin´-photo. Bwahaha. (Wish we had asked the bride to join too ;p)

Tender sibling-moment

Eli & Marie once again! :)

Had great fun - still have oodles of photos to go through, will prob post more peeks later this week. :)

Lastly, there’s an exciting announcement over at Hambly at the moment. If you love creating with Hambly, I’d totally, totally check out that announcement. Good luck! ;)

 

Oh, and I can’t let you leave this blog without some eyecandy – and since this is all about Hambly I figured I’d share a few Hambly-layouts I’ve created lately – you know – to hopefully make you want to whip out your own Hambly-stash (or shop at the sale…or even better, WIN at the giveaways:) ) & create stuff yourself too….

First a very simple layout, made with purple cardstock (I’ve forgotten how lovely cardstock really is :p), yummy rub-ons and a small mix of both transparent and paper Hanging Helicons. The layout is based on a sketch from Pagemaps, and was created for a contest at the local scrapbook-forum I’m hanging out at (Minneriket, a Norwegian one :)

 

Here’s another contribution to the aforementioned contest at Minneriket :) Created with a mix of Prima papers and flowers, Hambly rub-ons , transparency and sticker and letters from Luxe Designs & Adornit. Oh, and an awesome cord-brad from Nikki Sivils :) The photo is of me, my sister and our grandfather skating in 1986. We lived not too far away from a skating rink (Valle Hovin) so we used to skate quite often in the winters :)

Love the different oranges here – the rub-ons, the scalloped cardstock-border, the transparency, and ofcourse the photo.

Creating my own border/edges on the Prima-paper was pretty fun and easy w/the diff colored Hambly rub-ons :)

I made the flower from two Prima-flowers, a ribbon turned into flower and a brad from Nikki Sivils. Which’s fabric-covered. Lovely :)   Lastly – here’s a layout I made of my mother when she was young – back in 1971. She attended a workshop on modelling once, and here she’s showing off what she learned to the photographer :)

This was also created for the contest at the local scrapbook-forum, where we were to be inspired by a black&white 60s music video. It was elegant & cute, so I got inspired by the style & b&w and decided to create this layout w/the photos of my mother and the always elegant Brocade transparency & Hambly Couture-paper. Other stuff includes Making Memories (journalpaper), Prima (bling and flowers), Tattered Angels (glimmermist), ribbon, letters from Luxe Designs and Adornit and punches from Martha Stewart.

Here’s one of the photos of my mother – isn’t she beautiful? :) (& I envy her her figure back then ;p)

Thanks for following through – comment away and good luck!! :)

 

Ps! Don’t forget the Pink Paislee-giveaway – just comment on the post before this one! That one is open whole weekend, which this post will be closed later tonight (see above for the details if you’ve forgotten stuff :) )

Ps2! Fancy Pants also have some NSD fun for you – check out their blogpost for more info – and the contest is open to both US and Internationals :)
