Stamping is so much fun but mounting them can be a bit tricky if you never have done it. This is how I do it.

I start with my rubber stamp (this one is from Magnolia) and some EZ Mount. I put the stamp on the EZ and draw around it.






I use a breakable knife, you can use scissors if you wont. I like the knife and think it gives a bit more control. This knife I only use for this sens they tend to get rather sticky.






Now just put the stamp on the mounting and touch up around the edges. Use a acrylic block for stamping. This come in all sizes, this one is fairly big.









Take a ink pad and cover the stamp.











And stamp!

It´s not so hard but a bit tricky the first times. Here you see an example off how a stamping motive can be used.

I hope this helped you

Little Britta has gotten a new leash in a houndthoth pattern. I think it's really cute and perfect for when we start training. We have had a couple of jump and she is a natural. Here in Sweden bunny jumping is a sport and when I was younger I had a bunny that I jumped with. Now I hope that Britta and I can train and hopefully one day compete.

You see this cutey, her name is Britta. She is only 6 weeks and not afraid of anything. This I´m not so sure is a good thing thou we live with hunting hounds... She loves the dogs and the dogs like her to, not in the same way but still. First I though she would live in my "studio" in the old stable. After two nights she now is in my bedroom.  She has gotten a litter box, like the one cat´s has but allot smaller. This she really loves, to lie in. Yup I´ve got a weird bunny.

There is some things that we want to be able to do and when we finally take the step that step is a leap. Yes for me that is about making macaroons. I was so scared and when they finally where done I was so pride that my head almost the size of a watermelon.












The recipe is from Leila:

I did this in two flavors. Chocolate and vanilla cream. (the Cream is really yellow, this is because the eggs are organic and the hens are grass fed so the yoke then is really yellow) and a neutral with raspberry cream. But I have to say that the raspberry is a bit better, the berry's where frozen so they get a bit sour. This I think is good so that it breaks of all the sweetness.

 I´m so happy to show you my new craft space! I have moved out to our old stable and are now sitting in my old ponny´s box.  It´s not very big but I have this Ariel "desk" my Aunt painted for my little sister and a heater. It´s not finished but so far I really like having my own space.

The "desk" is not very big but for jewelry making it´s just enough but for scrapbooking... don´t Think so. So far I have my jewelry and canvases and acrylic out in the stable and my scrapbooking in my room. In the winter I will have to find some more economical heating. The good thing is that the light is really good for painting and taking photografs. This two came out a bit red but that is just becuze I had my hand in front of the flash.
So now you´ll know where I spend most of my time. I have so many ideas for this space and if they are ever put to the test you will see them ;)

This art journal page is inspired by night and day, the moon and sun to be more specific. Both page are done in acrylic and the "moon" has a Pearl paint over her hair to get that shining effect. Check out the paint here: Pearlpaint And the best thing is that there is allot of different colors.

I´m in love with this Girls and I hope you like them to

Today's page is about my Lady of the Lake. She appeared in my sketchbook and later in my watercolor pad. I think it so fun to see how she changes in different mediums.

So here we have a background from dcwv, a craft paper from a notebook and some White paper flowers from Magnolia. This flowers a colored with distress ink and glimmer mist. The leafs and bling is from Pyhobby. The Lady's of the Lake is just photos of the original that I have printed out.















































Well that is that I hope you like it
