I love looking through magazines, they are so pretty and inspiring, and for this layout I wanted to try to use an advertising I ripped out. 

The add is a full page and was found in a garden magazine. I just love it and after having thought about how to add it, I sat down and turned on the camera... hoping for the best. 

The add-page had a black background with what looked to be a sketched garden scene. In the signs was info about the event, I covered them whit the photo and tiny word sticker.

So I started whit colors, pink and gold. I had this painted craft in pink, perfect for a background. I got out my trusty sewing-machine to sew down the page and the gold-dotted vellum. Really liking how the white thread frames the dark!

 There is not allot of embellishments but I added a glittered tag and some leafy-thingis Magnolia die cuts, to play whit the garden scene. Sens the I wanted the background to be the "star" I used a black& white photo, so I didn´t have to have competing colors.

 I used a Amy Tangerin craft word for my title, again so not to over power. I think a black title would have been to much. The craft word works whit the background and stand out just enough whit the glossy-accent.  

 What is the last thing you do? Splatter some gold Heidi-Shine of course! I love doing this over black & white photos, it looks so magical!!

Hello!

So I´m finally back and I have a new process video to shear with you. I took two of my resent favorits, watercolors and the "Open Book" by Maggie Holmes and made a layout.
The photos is of Wiola out in the snow but I wanted to have a color scheme that wasn´t expeted and focus more on scrapbooking the feeling rather then the photo.

Hello
I have a new process video to sheer with you and sense I don´t have "project" for now I thought that I would try to combine Project Life and Scrapbooking. You know that I try to find new things for each week of Project Life so now what ever I do then I´ll try to make a layout with the same products. This week I used the 6x6 pad from Teresa Collins "Life Emporium" and the 2 sticker sheets.

So when I ordered this pad I just thought how pretty it was but then I always have a hard time making a 12x12 layout out if 6x6 papers. How do you do it with out it looking like you "only" had 6x6 papers? Well I think for me it came down to two things: 1 start of on a white cardstock and 2, layers. YouTube is an amazing thing and you can find so much inspiration there, I love watching Ashley Laura she has the hole layering thing down!

So I started with a white background and distress inks in "tattered rose" and "pumice stone" this colors goes great with the "life emporium" line.

 I then started to layer the different papers and stickers. The gold doily, black letters, sequins and wood veneers are the only things not from the line.

 I used with nail polish instead of enamel dots or ink, just love the effect and so perfect with the sequins.

I hope you liked this layout and process video even though it came up a bit late. On Tuesday the next week of Project Life will be up and a product

Love Julia

Hello and happy Friday to you all! I have a new layout that was inspired by Wilna.
I love how light and fun this layout is. using 6x6 paper in a new way and creating that lightness between papers and photo with those butterflies. So what I take with me is the the layout as a hole the colors I will change and do something different for the transition.

Here is her process video check it out and if you already have; let´s get in to it!







So the papers that I went with is from Crate Paper and it´s the Best Of 180 papers. I took 6 Maggie Holmes papers and cut them down to 6x6 and the rest to 6x2,5.  The white cardstock I mated on this grey zebra stripped paper from the same pad. (don´t know from witch collection)

 I wanted this to be really light and fun so I took 3 super tiny doilys, wrinkled them up and sicked them down with pearl brads. The butterflies I cut out by hand and not very good... But some sequins makes everything better!

 The vellum lable is from Crate Paper- Notes & Things Ephemera pack  and I just wrote my name and on the stripes below I printed from my computer things I love to do. I took a font that looks like a old typewriter and  them colored in grey. I think black would have been to much.

 This layout don´t have allot of dimension but distressing the edges makes a huge differences! I would love to have sewed it down but my sewing machine has taking a break and will not wake up... If you catch my drift...

 I´m so happy with this "flowers" the doilys are light, airy and so me!

 It wouldn´t be a Wilna page without paint splatter, here I took a light pink and a rich teal that matches the rose-steams in the 6x6 paper.

I so love the page and I hope yo like it too! Don´t forget to check out the process videos (all videos in the Project Wilna series are HERE)

I hope that you´ll have a great weekend and to see you next Friday for part 5!

Love Julia

I have a drawer in my desk that is filled with scrap-paper. I get anxiety only by thinking of it and I haven´t opened it in like... forever. But the other day I decided to make something out of all scrap-pieces.

So taking on my "Big Girl Pants" I jumped in and took out a pill of papers. I wanted to have the same size so I went with 10*15 cm (6*4 inches) because I have photo-pockets that size. I just went with it without thinking too much, just gluing it down.

The first one I keep simple with allot of elements cut out of Graphic 45 papers.

On this tag I found a photo of a girl I had drawn a few year back and cut her out and around her a allot of book-mark flowers.

number 3 is a mix of Prima and Graphic 45 papers with some vintage musicsheet.

My favorite is no 4 with K&Company  paper and Prima packaging. The focal point is Graphic 45 cut outs but there is some Panduro and My Minds Eye papers to in there.

No 5 has it´s own video and here we can talk about layers. papers from Graphic 45, Magnolia, DCWV & My Minds Eye.  You can see how I put this together from cutting up the papers to cover the lamp with glossy accents.

I hope this gave you some inspiration to get started with your scrap. Now when I don´t know what to do I get start on a new tag with the papers laying on my desk or taking up some from the drawer. I feel better knowing that I use the papers even though the tags might not be the best looking ever...

Don´t forget to check out the video and thank you for stopping bye!

Love Julia
