Here are another page made with the Panduro Design paper pad that at lest I call the Cirkus pad. This design is with playing cards and a magic hat with a bunny. But it´s not the bunny nor the cards that made me choose the design it´s the blue color and the soft borders and swirls.











Staring a page I ether choose the photos first or the background. Today I started with this two photos of my horses that are not with me any more.
I start with placing them where I´d like them, crop them to fit and then I distressed the edges with a break blade knife.











Then I choose some flowers, this ones are different Prima flowers with some bling and pearls from the e-Line. The pearls swirls are from Zva in a cream color












And here are the end result. I usually try to make the layout easy on the eye and here I´ve do it in a diagonal. This both frame the focal point, the pictures, and make the layout flow easily. The tittle is a small one in my handwriting and it says, in Swedish, Mina Prinsar (my princes)


I hope you like it

Love Julia

 

 

I just got this amazing paper pad from Panduro Design I think it´s called Cirkus, but I´m not sure. Never the less the designs are absolutely beautiful, full of circus motives.  One of the designs was this with the carousel horses and I thought it perfect to a layout of my favorite horses from Strömma, my old school.

Here is the design in a light blue with script, border and a carousel with horses. The carousel I thought so pretty that I wanted to end hands it.










Here you see how it ended out, I just took some regular liquid glue and when it dried it turned clear. I really like how it looks and on the top I just stuck a heart that I had cut out from one of the other papers and covered in crackle accents. I made some pices and put them around the layout.








The journaling spot a made from some craft paper and took a white pen and draw a little design around it. Then I wrote a couple of word about my lovely school horses and then put a heart at the end.









I had heard about washi tape but never tried it but this I love, it fabric tap (?) What ever it´s called I really like it, it´s super easy and looks great. The arrows are Tim Holtz grunge board in harlequin, painted in white and then some blue paint that looks like pearlescent. And some dymo labels.








And here we have the finished layout, not to shabby ;) .
And maybe you remember Nova (Kasanova) From another post? it´s the same horse you see.

I hope you like it

 Good morning to you all. Today is the first day of summer break for my younger brother. I thought that we should do something fun the two of us so at 9 am we went to the stable. This was how ever not his fist choose of summer activity but he took hes camera with him and he took some really good photos.

Here we have the beautiful Penny Lane that I ride when to owner works. I had Penny for a summer years back and now she is 22 and let me tell you she is as spirited as ever. How ever I ride a bit calmer with her now. Any how my 10 year old brother took this photos with any old 4 mega pixel camera, not to shabby ;).

The Shetlands pony Simsson was not in the mood for any type of work this early in the morning. And how can blame him? It was really nice summer weather (even for Sweden) and laying their next to the lake, I wouldn´t got up either.

Love Julia from a sunny Sweden

So I got a bit impulsive yesterday and asked my friend if she wanted to go with my to the zoo. And she did. So we did. ha ha ha. Well any how it was a really nice day with beautiful weather and we got to see all of the animals even the wolfs. If you ever are in Sweden then Borås Zoo is a most to visit, and I don´t just say this because I grew up i Borås and been in the zoo more times then I can count. It´s a really good place for the animals and they are treated really well. And they have a baby elephant now!

The photo for day 8 will hopefully come up tomorrow, my computer didn´t let me upload more then this photo. So two for tomorrow and in till then...

Love Julia

Day 7 is fruit:

Just thought I would show you my hair for today. Sens I have rater long and thick hair I like to find new ways to wear up. Just so you know I have 4 bobby pins in. 4! The basics of it is really simple, make a french braid around your head and when you run out of hair keep braiding as usually and then pin the braid down along side the french braid. Super easy and looks quite cute.

Love Julia

So little late but here is my day six, from a low angle. There scary looking cat is my little sisters cat named Svea.

Day seven will come up soon!

Love Julia

It´s day 5 and here is todays pic, "from a high angle". And as you can see the pretty dog is of course our very own Kerstin.

Here in Sweden we had mothers day today witch meant we first eat a calm breakfast with my mom, then we went to my dads mom for 11" coffee and then dinner at my moms mom. Allot of moms here. But I was nice to see them with out all of my family. don´t get me wrong here, I love my crazy family but on my dads side they are four brothers and they all have a wife/ girlfriends and there are nine children, me included. So you can see how it´s nice to meet with my grandmother with just me, my brother and my parents. My other grandmother on the other hand is not just to that type of family gathering because she only have two "children" my mom and my aunt.  

So now it´s nine o'clock and I´m beat. Think I´m just going to read a little about horse feed and go to bed.  Tomorrow me and my old roommates are going back to school to practice a bit more before the big test on Tuesday. And don´t forget tomorrows pic is "from a low angle" ;)

Love Julia
