For the letters I used the Papier Projekt "Rilke" stampset
and the book stamps are from Pink Fresh Studio "Bibliophile"
Now I may remember more of the books I'll read, or at least know where to look for them...
I love to read, and I do it quite allot. Do i remember all the books I've read. No way. So why not have a proper book-book? Here I used a insert and two stamp sets that are just perfect!
A few month ago I made this 12x12 layout, inspired by a previous painting I had made and the paper piecing/ embroidery technique of Elsie. I picked the 6x6 paper pad from the "C'est la Vie" by Pink Paislee, love that line! I love the colors and patterns of that line and they make beautiful houses!
After cuting out the shapes I stitched with matching colors and added a title; Hem Ljuva Hem, or as you might know it; Home Sweet Home.
I framed it with this black frame from Prima Marketing and it now hangs next to my desk so I can see it everyday! That colors are just so sweet and the stitching adds just a bit of texture.
Have you scrapbooked your school years? I didn't scrapbook while in school but I thought I would start on an album. I don't mind much about how many pages or how they look, just that I make them. If I can tell one story or scrapbook two photos than there will be on more page.
I have made a few and here is one that I filmed a while ago. I started with some ink blending through a stencil and then used some papers and embellishments from Pink Fresh Studio.

I really like making pages about our little day trips! Just think that a few month ago I avoided even to think of them! I have found that I keep these pages a bit simpler and cleaner, using less colors and allot less embellishments. Not that odd really when I usually scrapbook one photo here I use two or three.
On this page I wanted to try capture the feel of this old water mill that has turned into a café. I like this black & white paper from Maggie Holmes and the feel of tea and cakes that it gives. Also you know I love my leafs and I just this they are the perfect thing to add (to pretty much anything). I keeped the color to black & white with green and silver accents to work with the photo.
My best medicine for morning pain is hands down my lovely little rascal to dog. When some days starts of a bit harden usual she jumps up and lays down next to my legs. If it is her pressens, warmth or some magical healing power i don't know. All I know is she that she makes life a little bit easier.
For a book lover like myself there is one stamp set that I just had to have. The Bibliophile by Pink Fresh is so fun and cute yet very functional. The thing that got me was the book info stamp but when I get it I got all of these ideas of what I could do with the other stamps:
The icons in this stamp set fit perfectly in an 1" punch and there for became cute epoxy-flairs. These will be so cute on a layout, in Project Life and in my travelers notebook!
3 super fun and quick projects, like a patterned paper, epoxy-flairs and bookmarks.
Make your own patterned paper. I did one is black and one in mint. The black I really love, not sure where to use it but for now I will just sitt and look at it.
A good bookmark is a must have for any book lover and these I think turned out so cute!
I hope these projects has inspired you to give them a try!
