Good Evening to you all!
(well it´s really more like night...) Today I have been at my aunts summerhouse with my little brother. I really like it there with the pool and bad internet. She has worked so hard re-doing the little house and now it´s coming together so prettily!

So that is when I´m sitting in bed at night writhing this and uploading a *new video*.

But you want to see the layout that I made with Christmas papers! and here it is:

 I really wanted a soft shabby chic layout with more black contrast (like the washi-tape and dymo label) I did get a bit frustrated when the distress ink started to bleed out on the big spots...

 But over all I like it, is not very denominational and not so many embellishments, but maybe that is the reason why

Rambo was my Valentin last year: 14 February 2013

*New Video*

Hello. I hope you are having a great weekend! Here in Sweden we have had such good weather that I´m almost chocked! I have been sitting outside drawing under our pavilion-tent-thing.

But today I have a new video to share with you, the topic: Use-up-scraps!
After finishing my latest mini album I had allot of tiny scrap-pieces that I wanted to use. In normal case I would trough those away but sens I´m on a mission, I really wanted to see just what I could make with them. And here is what happened:

I really like how this turned out with all of the hard-wear and the colors. I really like the colors.

And if you want to see how it came together:  Look HERE

So like I said before I made two things with this lovely stamp and now I want to show you the card:

So to me she looks a little like a statue with flowers growing on her. So I colored her only with "pumice stone" distress marker and stamped in grey a crackle stamp on here. The flowers are colored with "mustard seed", "picked raspberry" , "spun sugar" & "ripe persimmon"

 The sentiment on the card is "I will Statyr to you" like "I will stay true to you" (Statyr is Swedish for statue)

I really like this card with the fun colors and Joy looking so cool

I hope you like it!

Love Julia

Hello all lovely people!

Today I have 2 pieces to show you! The first one is a art-journal page and the other is a card. Kristinas scrapbooking is selling out the Bloom-Girl stamps and sens I was going to pick up a few new distress marker I saw my chance to get my hands on one of them! I pick Joy, she is just so beautiful!

So in normal order I just had to play with her and my new markers ("seedless perserves", "ripe persimmon", "squeezed lemonade" & "mustard seed") So I thought I would show you what I did!

So starting with the art-journal page:
I wanted a really fun page with allot of colors and a water color feel

 Skin & hair: "tea dye" & "walnut stain". Eyes: "peacock feathers" Flowers: "ripe persimmon" Berries: "seedless preserves" Leafs: "peeled paint" In the centers of the flower I painted with gold

 The background is distress markers, white paint, gold paint and chunky embossing powder.

 On all of the berries and the purple heart, I went over them with a glittery nailpolish.

 The title is partly hand written and partly is from Rhonna design

 Love Julia

{you can buy the album here}

I´m so happy to finally shear this project with you guys! I made a mini album with Prima´s Cartographer collection a few days a ago and I have spent days editing the video that is about 30 minutes long! (HERE!) I wanted to show you the different steps of this mini not just the paper and cover but how I was thinking and how I made the flowers.


So I really hope you like it and here is allot of photos:

I really wanted to stay true to the color scheme with the neutrals black and gold. I really like the effect that that glass pearls gives, and the colors fitted so nicely. so if you want to see just how this came toghtere check out this video!

Hello everyone! Today I have a layout to show you and just so you know; I love It!
The reason you why you can feel surprise in my voice is because I used a sketch and I normally have a hard time with them, so you can understand how happy I am now when it look so good! The sketch I was inspired by was Primas- BAP (Build-A-Page)


I grabbed my Prima papers, bling and leafs, put on some music and just had a really good time with inks and allot of paint.

And as you all now I´m on a mission to use up my scraps, all the papers are Prima but from 3 different collections; "Romance Novel" (the only 12*12) the rest is scraps from: "Sea Shore" and "Time Travelers memories" .

 I´m so happy with this black flowers with the gold edge, even the leafs got a slab of gold on them

 The layers behind the photo is packaging from different collections, I have to say that I love that Prima makes such cute packaging so you can use it and don´t just through it away.

 Here she is, The Queen, on the windowsill. I took this photo a while back but she is always sitting on the windowsill, odd cat.

 The "Time travelers memories"- bling fits perfect! 

I hope you like it and if you want to see how I put this together check out this video: *HERE*

Hello! It´s finely the weekend.
Today I have four more use-up-scraps tags/cards to show you:

The first one I made more like a card, with light colors and allot of bling

 The rest of them are more mixed media feel, all with a big-tip black alcohol pen.

Love Julia
