When I sat down yesterday to make my TN insert for February I thought that I could put together a little kit for the month. Just the lest over paper from the book, some stickers and a stamp set. Just a few thing that are pretty and that will provide a starting point. I don't know how much I will use it but now I'm really exited to start!!
What is better than a package of scrappy goodness on a rainy Thursday? Not much! Today I picked up my second Sirapsbox from Sirap I Paris. I was really happy with what I found inside!
The content of the box has a clear theme and is well put together. Of curse I wish there would be more but considering the price of scrappy things in Sweden I think they have done a great job! The cute packaging really adds value as you can use it again and the paperclips are just adorable!
The plus side of this box is that its from Sweden. It comes every other month and at a good price. I do wish that the content would be more clear if not showing the whole kit at least show parts of it before. This is one of the reasons why i waited so long to subscribe, I just didn't know what I would get...
If you found that is just not enough they offer an add-on kit for 170kr. Haven't been tempted yet but maybe I'll try that for next box?
In short, if you live in Sweden and want to get a box with some scrappy stuff every other month than check out Sirap I Paris.

I love treasure hunting. Going to different second hand shops and flea markets to see if we can find some treasures. Now a treasure for me may be rubbish for you, but that is the charm with it!
This page is from one of those hunting day me, my sister, brother and cousin had a few month ago. We went to a huge, HUGE, flea market hosted by the local soccer club. We had a really fun day and I did find some treasures! You can read and see more photos in this blogpost

Let's continue this weekend with a few process videos of the travel pages. Here is one I made of a trip we made in april to look at a farm of daffodils. It was so pretty, and cold but mostly pretty!
I used the Felicity Jane June kit and I knew I wanted to use the greenish/yellowish paper and the wood-vener on this photo. I kept it rather simple and let the photos tell me where they wanted to be and then filled in with the title and journaling.
I so like how this page turned out, the colors and the title (!)
and the just a bit of Heidi Shine to break up all of the lines.
Here is another page I made using the June Felicity Jane kit. I really like how it came out especially the splatters, the pretty red and the mix of photos.
This kit has been such a joy to work with and I think this is one of my absolut favorits!
Midsommar is one of our biggest traditions in Sweden right after Christmas and New year. Midsommar is really a celebrations of the sun and summer, living in the north that is truly worth celebrating!
We have out tradition for celebrating and as I have mentions before, I hardy ever scrapbook events. So I really made an effort and now I thinks it's fun and i wanted to scrapbook this big celebration we do every year, where we are and with who we are with.
I used the June Felicity Jane kit, I just love the flowers and the soft pink color. The background is a Heidi stencil of plus-signs and the gold modeling past so pretty!

I get very inspired by colors and fun color-schemes. Colors that make me think and makes me happy. Like the colors in Suse's kit for Felicity Jane. I love that lavender blue color and with those soft pinks it really made me want to create.
I had a very clear plan when I started this page, I wanted the colored cardstock as a background with some with paint and the vellum shapes and sequins sewn in a "reef" around the photo.
Starting with such a specific plan scars me a bit, I'm not very good at following directions even if they are me own but it turned out really nice!
I love to work in this "new" format of the traveler's notebook. I like that it is long and narrow, not to big but yet you can fit allot. I like to make them and the work with them.
I did one for this summer (that still have not filmed...) and I thought it would be fun to make one for fall. This time I made it out of pattered paper and vellum. I used the paper pad "Willson Wood" what I like about this pad is that many papers lend it self to be cut up and made into embellishments.
For my fall insert I put togheter a mini kit, the paper pad, some phrase stickers from Crate Paper "craft market", alpha stickers (the little that is left) from Maggie Holmes "shine" and some home made leafs using Lawn Fawn dies.
I had picked stickers and alphas that are gold and a copper washi... I like to mix and i think these warm metallic work so nice in fall. I also added these die cuts that I got earlier this week, I wanted some more "pretty" and sens they had that copper they where perfect!
I keep my pretties on a little tray and can easily pick what I want when I want it.
Here is the cover and my tray, I really like the products I have picked and I work in the book when I get a bit of time. I hope to record the change into fall, every-day things and also some lists from Andreas class.
In the paper pad I picked there is a sheet filled of critters that are just so cute, and I cut them out. It took hours but I think they are truly adorable!
Here is a page I have started, big photo and a photo strip and some hopefully some journaling...

I made these by punching out the reefs, fussy cutting the critters and then adding a phrase sticker. I think they turned out really cute and I think they will add some consistency trough out the book.

That is what I've got so far, I really like it and can't wait to fill it up!
Is there any thing better to find in your mailbox then happy-mail? This week I got my order from Pyhobby.se and the July and August kits from Felicity Jane.
The July kit was design by the lovely Suse Fish and I think I might do a mini with this kit...
The August kit, called "Maggie" has a very fun and fresh feel. What I will do with it, as of now I have no idea but it will be very fun to play with.
A very spontaneous order from pyhobb.se but this paper pack "Tales from Willson Wood" was just too cute! Think I want to make a TN insert, and cut all of those cute critters out!!
I have really loved working with the Felicity Jane kit; "Next Stop" the colors and elements are so vivid and fun! My favorite part had to be the letters and I knew I wanted to do a page with a big title.
This page is about my mom and our little Majken, on the photos they had just passed their last test in order to become tracking champions. My mom really didn't get a diploma for making Majken a champion so I wanted to make her one, in my own way, telling her that she really is a champion!
I had so much fun making this page from Midsommar. Starting with watercoloring a flower reef and then adding photos, pretty papers and journaling. I took inspiration from the photos and actually started the page on the same day as I took these selfies. I wanted a page that really said; Midsommar!
The Felicity Jane -note to self kit is really growing on me and the more I use it the more I like it. the colors and patterns fitted perfectly as did the stamp set.
