This is the last sketch and journaling challenge from OUAS. We will retire the challenge blog at this years end. Nadia who is the soul in this blog really needs a break and I wish her the very best.
So this is my last layout for OUAS.

Last year we got some snow early so I had a photo shoot with Viggo and Molle. So far no snow for this year so I will keep create with last years photos.
I added my journaling to the back of the layout.

Cool Maja Road flower in felt.

I painted the heart from Prima with red Acrylic Paint from Martha Stewart and added some crackle medium.

The white flower is from Strömstad Scrapbooking and the red from Prima.

Over my heart I put one of the cute metallic word signs from Prima.

Paint, gesso and also rub-ons from Tim Holtz for coool texture.

It´s time for me to show you my take on the November sketch at OUAS! I´m on team 2 and we have our reveal the 15th every month.
I used papers and mostly flowers from Papirdesign.

This heart I actually got from Frank Garcia when he was in Sweden! It makes it extra fun to use! Thank you Frank!

I painted some chipboard words with Martha Stewart acrylic paint.

The badge is also from Papirdesign.

And my journaling.

Lots and lots of pretty flowers from papirdesign! The white ones with lace and the large purple one are from Prima.

Cool texture from Texture Paste a Prima Stencil and a plastic table cloth I found in a store!

This is my take on the October sketch and journaling theme!

I took a selflie with my iPhone and wrote about how I´m the only female in our family. Even the dog is male!

I used fun colors and lots of gold. I painted the bird from Prima with Martha Stewart Acrylic Paint Metallic Gold.

Mostly new flowers from Prima. I changed the middle on the large turquoice flower and added a large pearl with rhinestones.

I cut apart some of the wines and added other flowers.

Here is my take on the sketch! It´s about Viggos first day at school! I took some photos when we was about to walk to school for the very first time!

Mostly flowers from Prima and one from Petaloo. I used paper from Blue Fern Studio and lots of fun mediums.

Yummie flowers from Prima. Most of them from a little bit older collections.

I did some handwritten journaling as the challenge said.

Here is my take on the August sketch! I wanted to use photos with both me and my boys. This corny looking photos with us i our sun glasses are taken last summer on our sailing boat.
I wanted to do my journaling inside the lighthouse so I moved the journaling a bit.

I used flowers from both Prima and Petaloo.

I love the 3d effect you get when you play with flowers!

For my background I used sprays, gesso, stencils and embossing enamels.

Here is my take on the sketch and I hate my layout! I regret putting my journaling on the strips!

But the big green flower and laces from Tresor de Luxe are so pretty!

I used green spray on the applique lace and added some rhinestones. I used Gesso and paint from Martha Stewart. I also added some sprinkles of Prima Color Bloom.

Flowers from Prima, Petaloo, Inkido and Sanglert.

I just love this color combo!!!

I painted the Blue Fern chipboard with DazzelerZ from Shimmerz Paints.

Cool metal plate from Prima!

Here is my take on the sketch! I always try to have the journaling visable but this time it ended up on the back. I have used supplies from Papirdesign. Also from Blue Fern, Prima and Bo Bunny.

I used some black thread with the flowers.

I painted the title with Distress Paint.

I think the effect with colors on the black paper are very cool! I used Stencils from Tim Holtz and Prima.
