In a nutshell ~ Baby frame

Var på loppemarked i helgen og gjorde et kjempekupp! Et av de gammeldagse arkivskapene fra ungdomskolen jeg gikk på (tror jeg, ligner iallefall!), for kun 150,- jeg var så heldig!
Ser for meg at stemplene mine får pent plass i den, eller noe annet stæsj.. Må iallefall male den først. Kjøpte også en hvit høy melanin hylle med plass til masse ark for en billig penge! :) Skal legge inn før og etter bilder når jeg får pusset opp og malt dem! .. Og nå vil jeg vise frem en søt liten ramme med et av mine favoritt stempler fra Penny Black ♥


I'm so happy after this weekends fleamarked sale ~ because I found an old archive closet with many shelves for my stamps & also a tall bookshelve wich I can picture tons of papers will fit in.. I will blog before & after photos when I've sanded down & painted them :)

Jeg har også et enkelt monokromatisk blått kort å vise frem ~ kansje til noen som er like glad i Gene Kelly og gamle romantiske musikaler som meg? Jeg har det med i fem utfordringer, som du kan se litt under her :)


Beautifully weird clouds on sunday night ~ August 1st. Anyone know why such bright pinkish clouds? Got lots of awesome photos of the phenomena :)
