Trick or treat 😊🎃👻 This is my decorated Halloween bucket. It is a metal box with a lid, which I have decorated with paper, stickers and ribbons. It's a great way to use up some leftovers. I cut the paper to the right size and made holes for where the handle sits. Then I ran the paper through my Xyron Creative Station to get even glue on the back. Then the paper is firmly attached. I use Xyron a lot, for all such projects. It's one of my favorite tools. See those little pumpkins in front of the Halloween bucket?...

When the girls were small, we had many nicknames for them, both in Norwegian and in English. Sarah was particularly fond of being called "Sarah bear" by her father, and sometimes she probably thought it was actually her name. This LO tells a bit of the story about this nickname of hers. This is a "less is more" LO, where the cardboard from Bazzill Basics gets a lot of space. I chose cardboard with two different structures. I've used some patterned paper from Basic Gray and some vellum for the text, but otherwise there aren't that many large elements. The...

This winter I bought 6 notebooks in different sizes of the Flying Spirit type at Ark bookshop at CC Gjøvik. I wanted to decorate these. Now I have decorated two of them, the smallest and the largest. Altered journal means altered notebook. You take an initially ordinary and perhaps not so exciting notebook and make it completely your own. Here you can decorate with whatever you want, both inside and out, and make it as personal as you want. How about putting the name of a good friend on the front and giving the book away as a gift? If...

Decorating a metal box is a great gift idea. You can put your personal touch on it and adapt it to any special occasion. It is often also called "altered lunchbox", because "altered" means changed. And that's what we do, we change it to be the way we want it to be. This was basically a completely white metal box. I measured how big pieces of pattern paper I needed, and cut them to size. I then attached them to the metal box using my Xyron Creative Station to make sure they would sit tight. Then you run the entire...
