Sizzlin' Summer Contest!

I've participated in a challenge at mycreativescrapbook.com that has been running for the past six weeka. It was all about summer and the things we do during the summer. It's been so much fun and last night I posted my 6th and last LO. Every week there has been a drawing among the people who have uploaded a LO that week and I was the lucky winner of week 5! Can't wait to get my scrappy goodies in the mail! Can't wait for the judges to make their decisions about the winners either! They've got a tough job ahead of them cause there's a LOT of great entries!

I thought I'd post the LO's I have made for the challenges.

First off is the Water Fun category. The pics are taken 2 years ago when we visited my step kids grandpa and step grandma. They loved cooling off in the little pool. The neighbors dog came over and wanted to jump in too! :) (the title is in swedish as usual and means Summer Bath).

The next challenge I completed was for the Outdoor Activities category. What's better on a nice hot summer day then to enjoy a popsicle! These pictures were taken this summer, again visiting the kids grandpa and step grandma. The kids are relaxing, eating their popsicles out on the patio. "Glasstajm" means Ice Cream Time.

Week 3 the category I picked was Summer Love and I decided to scrap an old picture from back in 1980 when I was a flower girl at a wedding! After listening to my brothers saying that they would never smile and let their teeth show in a picture again cause they looked stupid in their school photos, I decided that was the best way to go! No matter how hard the photographer tried saying the most hilarious things, I held my smile together and did now show my teeth! It's a cute story now but I wish I had just smiled big letting my teeth show! :) The title says "Flowergirl 1980"

Week 4 I went with the Family Time category and scrapped this really cute picture of my niece and nephews. (My oldest brothers kids). Aren't they adorable? I just love that picture of them! The title can't be translated directly to english but I choose to call it "Summer Sweet"

Week 5 I picked the Vacation category and scrapped some animal pictures from Borås Djurpark (Borås Zoo) that we visited this summer with the kids. Almost everything on this LO are papers and embellies from the monthly kit at My Creative Scrapbook. I loved the kit and had so much fun playing with it on this LO! The title would be translated to "Visitors from far away".

For the final week (number 6) I was really pressed for time! The category was Cookouts and I'm not entirely happy with this LO. However, I finished it at 2.30 AM and I was too tired to do it over. Food looks delish though right?! :)

I'm really proud to have gotten so many LO's done! Guess I like working under pressure. It's been fun making LO's and taking a little break in the card making!

I would also like to say thanks for the feedback on the new design of the blog and thanks for checking in! A new blog post will be up within the next few days! :)
