Happy National Scrapbooking Day!! :)
And welcome to the bloghoppers ;)


I'd like to share a Hambly-layout and some cards first if you don't mind - before we get down to the business why the majority of you are here I guess :) Please bear with me :)

The little one loves to draw and cut out her own drawings.
And I love to take pictures of her doing so ;)
Thing is - stuff usually get lost after a while so I figured I'd
safekeep some of them on this layout :)


Materials used: Hambly papers - Woodgrain (teal blue ink on bronze - LOVE this one!!!!), Hanging Heliconias (White Ink on Lemon Lime textured paper) and rubons - these are real classics btw: Vintage Motifs (black) and Stars (red) and kraft-stickers - Vintage Journal Bits and Alphabet.
Other stuff include Prima flowers&pebble, MM alpha (ampersand) and Heidi Swapp numbers. AND! I simply *adore* my Fiskars borderpunches - Upper Crest and Apron Lace!!! *loves*

To safekeep the drawings and cutouts I created a pocket
out of cardstock, covered it with patterned paper and adhered
it to the background after rubbing off some rubons on it to
make it look like they came from under the pocket.

Love to do this w/drawings, ephemera and cards :)


Window-card made w/Hambly Frame Wallpaper
(this is my fave color-combo :) ), Hambly Kraft Sticker,
brown cardstock, satin-ribbon & a Prima-pebble.


Another simple window-card created with kraft cardstock,
Hambly rubons -
Textures one and Elegant Labels, and letters from Adornit.

Oh lookie. Another card :p Last one I promise :)
Lilac and kraft cardstock,
Hambly bordersticker (love that it's transparent :) ), Hambly Frame Wallpaper Overlay, Hambly Two-Tone paper and Hambly Stars Rubon :) I plan to keep this card for fast customization and just add the name or age or whatev to the frame when I need the card :)


Right! Sorry for the Hambly-spam ;) Back to business! :)

You can comment on whatever you want here - you know - to get a chance to win a 15$ giftcard to spend in the Hambly-store -- but if you don't mind I'd love to know what you like with Hambly. Personally I am pretty in love with this butterfly-transparency in lime-green (did I mention this already? ;p) - I seem to try sneak the butterflies in on all my projects atm :) And another thing I love w/Hambly is that you can get the same designs in various colors and materials - paper/transparency/rubon - it makes it easy and fun to create interesting depths on your layouts, like here and here :)


♥Thanks for reading all the way to the bottom, and have a lovely NSD :)
