Moving On – Or the Worst Packed Car Ever

Published by Sula H.

My week of school is over, which means it’s time to move on – yet once more. (Didn’t I tell you earlier that I’m living by weekly increments this summer?) Well, and this time, it’s taking us across the border to Berne. So, of course, whenever you move from one place to another, your stuff also has to move. Quite logical, isn’t it? What wasn’t quite that logical to me was the way my friend and travel mate thought would be the feasible way to pack the car. Well, yes! I admit it! I do have a lot of stuff that needs packing and moving (not all of what you see in the car is mine). But with just a little effort, it’ll all fit smugly into the lower half of the trunk, and so we safely made it across the border, without getting stopped for the worst packed car ever, or whichever other reasons Swiss-German border officers might find to put us into trouble! Yay for that!

Into the Depths of the Black Forest

Published by Sula H.

Our goal today was to visit Hell’s Valley, a gorge in the heart of the Black Forest. Now, we didn’t end up quite there, I believe (we kind of took the wrong turn), but we did end up somewhere in the depths of the Black Forest. And if not as “gorgeous” as Hell’s Valley, it was still a pretty place. Here are more pictures of our trip (though sadly I forgot to bring along my camera, so they’re whatever my phone was able to handle):

P2D: Beautiful Dreamer

Published by Sula H.

Paper to Digi means I’m taking a traditionally scrapped paper layout and scraplift it so as to create a digital layout. This week, I found this lovely page that immediately inspired me: What I loved about this page was the composition, the piece of word art that got so much focus, the placement of the title, and all the little scattered elements. It’s what I tried to incorporate on my own page (and, of course, this time the topic of the page inspired me as well). So, here’s how my page with this turned out:

School’s Out

Published by Sula H.

School’s out. At least the part of sitting in class, and listening to the teacher is over. The homework and self-study part still is far from being completed, but today it was time to say good-bye to all my classmates and my teacher, something which makes me sad and glad. Sad, because this season of my life is over. Glad, because I’m more than ready to move on to other things. For now, however, I’m saying good-bye to all my new and old friends, and wish them well!

Here goes another week, and that means you’re up for receiving the second part of this beach freebie kit: Daybreak by the Sea, you’ll get the first part of the papers. My Terms of Use apply, which means you can only use this kit for your personal use, and if you’d like to share, then only by sharing links to mistyhilltops.com (Digiscrap Corner), no direct linking to the product download page. Alrighty, I’m curious to see what you’re scrapping with this, and if you’ve missed older freebie kits, they’re still available on my blog. Happy Friday, scrappers, and happy scrapping!

Hybrid Hub: Card #58 – Thank You

Published by Sula H.

I was having the greatest fun getting my hands into craft projects last week. After all, I was staying with my sister, and she’s become a Stampin’ Up demonstrator over the last year. Needless to say that she has a huge collection of stamps and die cuts already. It’s kind of like getting to crafting paradise, esp. since I brought with me my silhouette cutter, and all the ton of stuff to combine my love for digiscrapping with crafting. So, there’s no question that I worked on quite the number of projects. Here’s another card I made (with papers from my – very old – paper scrap stash), using my sister’s Big Shot to create some embossing texture on the plain card stock. Here’s the card:   And here you have some details:
