Snow Adventure Layout & Flair Buttons Challenge

Hello again!

Here's my layout for the Design Challenge at Allt om Scrap, where the theme this October is flair buttons, also called badges. I just got my first ones, made by the Polish company 3rd Eye, who has a cool variety. It was not so easy to use them, though, but I'll try again for sure.

You're welcome to join the challenge until November the 20th, and of course to check what our Design Team and Guest Designer Michelle Hernandez did! The prize is an assortment of flair buttons from Michelle.

There's also a tutorial for making your own badges, by Design Team member Stephi. It's in Swedish, but with a lot of photos!



Hei taas! Allt om Scrapin lokakuun haasteen aiheena on koristenapit, joita englanniksi kutsutaan nimillä flair buttons tai badges. Ostin tällaisia ihan ekaa kertaa puolalaisen 3rd Eyen verkkokaupasta. Ne ovat siis kuin pieniä pinssejä, mutta takana on hakaneulan sijasta tarra.

Koristenappeja voi muuten tehdä itsekin. Kun ehdin, ajattelin kokeilla näillä ohjeilla, jotka laati Stephi Allt om Scrapin tiimistä. Ohjeet ovat ruotsiksi, mutta runsaan kuvituksen avulla varmaan pärjää vähemmälläkin kielitaidolla!

Haasteeseen voi osallistua 20.11. saakka ja palkintona on vierailevan designerin Michelle Hernandezin lahjoittama sortimentti nappeja!




The sketch and the theme "Journey" are from Once Upon a Sketch. I turned the sketch to suit landscape photos, but wanted to keep the three fairly large photos of the sketch. It wasn't so easy to make the layout work with so much stuff in it. I'm glad I took the challenge, anyway!

The photos are of my son when he was almost one year old, getting to know snow for the first time. It wasn't love at first sight, like it often is for older children, but he still approached it with a curious mind. The journaling in the little envelope is about how he's kept that curiosity while growing up to a boy who'll be six on his next birthday already.



Osallistun samalla Once Upon a Sketch -haasteeseen. Ohessa luonnos, jonka käänsin vaakasuuntaisiin kuviin sopivaksi. Tarinointi on pienessä kirjekuoressa ja tulkitsen siinä väljästi OUAS:in teemaa Matka.

Kuvissa poikani seikkailee ensimmäisiä kertoja lumessa hiukan alle vuoden vanhana. Hän ei ihan päätä pahkaa siihen tainnut ihastua, mutta tutkii silti uteliaana uutta ympäristöä, ja tämä piirre on ilokseni säilynyt. Ajatella, että ensi talvena tämä taapero on jo kuuden ikäinen!

  2. Hej! Du frågade om väderprognosen på min LO. Det är helt enkelt ett foto som jag skrivit ut från telefonen där jag använt appen InstaWeather. Så enkelt var det :-)
