It´s my 19th year in this country called Sweden. This country has it all, the rain, the sun and the nature. It´s really amazing year round and November is not exemption. Even though I some times get sick of the rain or fear I´m going to freeze to an ice-cube, I love living here.

And right now it looks something like this...

My mom and I goes on this walks in our village with our cameras, she really is a geek ;)

If your inspiration isn´t flowing, this walks are perfect to get it going.

It´s just two days to my first Christmas fair, behind the table. I´m so excited and a bit nerves. There is so much to do. So today I´m showing you how i´m going to show my earrings.
The frame I found cheaply at a second hand store. Painted white (x2) and then a coat with pearl.
Materials:
-Frame
-chicken wire
-wire scissors
-fabric + regular scissors
-staple gun






Start with staple down the chicken wire












Then stable down the fabric. Stretch it out and put down like you do a tire. When it´s put down, fold the leftover over and staple them down.










And it´s finished! And yes i did this in my dads workshop :).

So to sum up.
Super easy and fun. The black fabric will make your jewelry pop

By now you probably know that yellow is not my favorite color. You may also know that I like to challenge myself. And I have so, today´s card is all blue and YELLOW.

So here is all the info:
Papers: DCWV- Mademoiselle stack
Stamp: Magnolia- Charming Edwin
Embossingpowders: Magnolia- Black

Washitape: Panduro- lace
Roses: Pyhobby (white) - colored with own mixed glimmer mist

Pearls: Pyhobby- white

By now, after making cards and art journal pages, I realize that I don´t mind yellow any more.

 Some times it´s the simplest things that makes the biggest impact. Just a black pen is all you need.

 The background is regular clear glue mixed with liquid pearl and distress ink- mustered seed. I used a roller to smear it out. When it´s almost dry, sprayed with water.

 By spraying water on you get that watercolor effect.

Some thinks it´s scary to draw with black pens but if you build up with allot of lines on one can tell if you made one line wrong. 

The thing about a art journal- smash book is to try out new things, I used to avoid yellow but now I tackle it head on.
Love Julia

A new week and a new card. This card is inspired by the winter and the fact that we have had our first snow. The colors where easy to pic, white and blue. So to make it a bit more challenging I took a stamp that I uselessly use for spring.

 In her hand is a bird but there I put a mini rose with some blue in it.

 I found this cute pearl and put them on either side of the lace.

Papers are from Prima, Magnolia & Basic Grey. 

Flowers are white from Pyhobby that I just colored with my own "glimmer mist" mix

The Pearls and swirls are also from Pyhobby

The Image is colored with distress ink and then sprinkled with shabby white embossing powder.

This card is in the challenges over at:

Tildastown

Marvelous magnolia challenge

One of the best things is truly to feel full of inspiration. "Making a Scene" is a mixed media piece with a jumping jack Ballerina. For once I will just let you look at the pics without my telling you everything ;)

Remember yesterdays post? Well I used her for today's card.
The papers are from Prima "Engraver" collection.

 On the image I have shabby white embossing powder. The flowers are glimmermisted and stickled. The brown paper flowers I´ve made myself. I´ve seen so many use them but coulden´t find them so I made then.

 The little paperbag I made too and then there are white paint all over the card.

I really like this card and I hope you do to.
