I got this stamp from my mom yesterday, just like that. Well I had shown it to her but never did i think I would get i from her. Any how I love it so much I did card right a head and here is how it turned out.

 Papers from magnolia and prima. Flowers from magnolia and embossing & micas from stampendous.

I love that you can use this stamp for Christmas, Lucia and just to light up the winter darkness. This one is colored with Reeves water soluble wax pastels. I hope you like it as much as I do

This card is in the challenge over at: a creative romance

It´s Sunday the 10th of November but also it´s fathers-day. This is what I gave my dad this morning:

This card, very simple but quite masculine. The silver is from stampendous and called "aged silver". "Edvin" is colored with distress ink in "tea dye" and "vingate photo" for that vintage feel.

My dad loves this candy so he got a hole jar of it.  

 The tag has the same embossing "aged silver", love it.

 Dad really liked he gift and I liked giving it to him.

See you all soon

Get ready for today there will be allot of pictures. Of what, you ask. Well let´s see:

I got this small "hatboxes" and today I´m going to start with the smallest one.

 At my local supermarket shop I found this gift-wrapping paper that looks like an old newspaper with rose and butterfly.

My though is to decoupage and for you how don´t know what that is, this is the basics of it:

Start of with decoupage glue the lid.

 Cover the lid with paper, you can use napkins or other thinner papers.

 Decoupage is gluing papers on papers and that is the next step. I cut out a butterfly from the wrapping paper.

 Glue the butterfly, put it down and then glue over. Now it´s decoupage!

 And here is the finished project with decoupage.

Have a great weekend and I will stop saying decoupage...

I know it´s only a week in November but I already have that Christmas spirit. So scene I love playing with mica´s that I got from the scrapbooking fair this past weekend I decided to do a Christmas card.

The base is from primas "En Francais", some note washi tape and burlap. I love using flower but on a Christmas card it´s hard to do that. So I took out green leafs and red pearls and voila; Christmas!

 Aged book pages and lace and I´m happy. The stamp is from Magnolia but I can´t remember witch year I got it. It was how ever the same year as I got the "God Jul" ticket stamp. (God Jul is Merry Christmas in Swedish)

 On this card I used the tea stained micas and chunky withe embossing enamel. This withe powder is great as snow and just because, I had some gold in there too.

This card is in the challenge over at Tildas town

Washi tape, it wasn´t love at first site by now we stick together and I use it on everything... Today I´m showing you how a bit of paper and washi tape makes a boring pearl jar to a cute one.

This is the pearls a use when making my jewelry but the jar are so... blah...










So I cut out a "circle", nor a very good one but it doesn´t matter.









Now to get the paper to really stick to the lid I go around with a wide washi and then fold the edges over the paper.










Then I took this crown tape around the the lid.










Much cuter now, don´t you think. And all you need is some scraps paper and washi tape.

I got so inspired from the scrapbook fair this weekend so I made a layout using the stuff I bought. The papers is from Maja Design- Blomstertid and then I used perfect pearls and Lindy´s stamp gang on the background. With this layout I wanted to use the mica´s to get that effect of looking down in the lake, like my brother is doing on the photo.

 To get that feeling I sprayed a teal color end then dabbed with gold paint. Then I used a glue pen to glue down mica flecks and then some gold pearls. The color of the mica's is in tea-stained, bronzed tarnished and pearl.

 The flowers is in the same color as the paper, blue and yellow, just like our Swedish flag ;) I used allot of leaf and gold rhinestones in the center.

 The butterfly I made using mod podge mold and melts. The butterfly is painted in acrylic paint, bottle, and then soft brushed over with gold.

This is a really summer layout and I love how the "bottom of the lake" turned out with the mica flecks.

After been waiting for moth, finely the day came, the 2nd November. So I dragged my friend Ellen with my to Gothenburg. We had are really good time and did a make & take too.

 allot of scrappers gathering around the demo table. 

 Helen from Creativica show how to use promarkers. Not that I use them but she was really good at it so I just mite give it a try. 

 It was so fun to see all scrappers from teens to seniors. 

 We finished the day with a make & take from Ci Li in papers. Ellen was first up to show off the her natural scrapping skills. It was so fun that I bough a couple of the products that we use to make the Christmas card.

 And here is my finished card with the cutest stamp all I did when I got home was to color the deer and add the dymo. So it was the withe embossing enamel and mica's from Stamendous that I just had to have after trying them on this card. 

And here is the haul and now I will have no problems with finding stuff to do the next week. Except from the mica´s I super exacted for the mod podge melts and shapes! O and the prima pad "All about ME". Well all of it to be honest.
