Here is my latest project: The Cottage!



Let´s get right to it: I started with this wood-scraps that I took from my dad. This are really thin and I could just break them up.










Then it´s just to start gluing... I wanted a long- thin house and then I put two pieces at the bottom and one on the back- so I can glue flowers in it later.













When the house is put together I painted it in white gesso. Then on the house I painted with crackle medium and the roof is pearl-paint mixed with distress inks. After 4 hours I could paint the rest of the house (the crackle medium needs to rest for about 4h) with a light dove-blue color.






But I couldn´t leave the roof for long so I put on pearled-micas and white glitter. Than over the door I put a metal corner.












And just like that: The house is finished! I took an old paint brush that had an accident with glitter-glue... and now it´s a flagpole with a blinged-out flag.

 The clockhead is from Maya Road that I jus put some pearls and stones on.

 A fence made out of flower-sticks and string.

 The chain is arranged in a pocket-watch fashion. And the house is surrounded with flowers and Prima bling swirls. All the flowers are brushed with Chrystal stickels.

 Here are my shabby chic Cottage:

New video!


If you follow me on instagram you know I have been working on a mini album with Pion Design´s new paper line: "My Precious Daughter" . This collection is so perfect, first of all it has my absolute favorite colors and flower! Seconded, they just think of it all, having 12*12, 6*6*, and ATC sizes.


For this project I got the 6*6 papers and the Memory Notes.
The 6*6 are perfect for making mini albums, as you can see here the papers are 12*12 with 4 6*6. Some of them are simple, patterned, framed or has cut-outs.

The 4*6 I used for pockets and journaling-spots/ photomats.
The 4*3 I used for tags, journaling-spots and I made 2 doubble sided by cutting them as a 6*4 and then fold them in half.



Now here are ALLOT of photos of the mini album:

I´m so in love with this mini and if you want to see how it all came together; check out this video

I think that you all know by now that I am a big Live with prima fan and today´s project is inspired by Frank Garcia´s Tresors De La Mer class. I just love the idea of altered sea shells. So I took a small frame, painted it white, distressed it and went to town with my glue-gun.

 The roses are lavender pearl (you can see how to make them Here ) and the shells are painted with a white acrylic paint and then sprayed with blue and pink mists.

 Book-pages, tyll, lace, roses, shells and pearl = Shabby Chic. So to balance it out I took a metal piece and made the title in my dymo, this contrast will make more interest.

 The pearls are from Panduro and I took the white and the light pink ones. The tiny roses, I left the greens on just so that not everything is white and lilac.

 I just love how the shells turned out! I hope you all like it, and watch Live with Prima!

How doesn´t love resins? I do and when I was in Gothenburg at the Scrapbook fair I pick up this mod podge resin kit. I tough they where a bit expensiv but the sahps are really nice and you can use them on all of your projects, just coming up with new ways to color them is fun. I have two molds, one with flowers and one with birds but there is more shapes.

So put the mod podge stick in your glue-gun, this sticks are longer then glue-gun glue and will be white when they have dryed. 

 So just fill in the shapes, my glue-gun are not the best and won´t come up in the right temperature so the mod podge will not melt all the way, but it works.

Let sit for 10-15 min and then pop them out. Easy and fun to make. Then comes the part where you can truly be creative, to color them. Paint, sprays, glitter and inks the chooses are endless. I did try with embossing powders but it didn´go so well, the shape started to melt before the powder did...
