So sens I can´t do much I always look for projects that I can do sitting, like painting or scrapbooking. A few weeks ago I found "December Daily" and just thought it would be perfect! So after doing allot of research and surf-shopping I think I have found my way to December Daily:

 The album is from Simple Stories "Sn@p" black chevron burlap 6x8". In the album I keep everything and added the "Variety Insta Pocket Page"  and "Multi Pack". So I have allot of pockets to work with and if I don´t need all of them then so be it.

 I decided to break up the album in 4 parts after the Advent weeks. So my thought is that each week have layouts about what happens in that week. So example week one; We start to listen to Christmas music and put up Christmas curtains and flowers. 

 So here is a layout that I have started on, Christmas music, I put the covers in the 2x2 pockets and think that I will put the playlists in the 3x3 pocket. But as you can see I have yet to decide. 

 This layout is finished, my favorite movies! So easy, just a 3x4 card with the title and then the moveis. I just googled and printed them as 3x4.

So this is my starting point and I´m so exited to go in to December and to finish this project. And Bye the way I love working in this 6x8 format and seriously thinking of having this for 2015 PL. So many choices!

Have you had a bad day? The best way to cheer up in painting with your fingers! It´s a proven fact!

In this part of the world November i just another word for grey and rain witch makes me long for summer, the sun and flowers. One of my all time favorite flowers is the hydrangea, one flowers with so many colors. So I started a page in my story art journal. 

 White background and word-stencil with modelingpast made it so easy to start dabbing paint with the fingers.

 I used turquoise and green for the leafs and turquoise, white, light pink and magenta for the flowers. I love this combinations and sens I never dried the flower the colors blended beautifully. 

 I then sprayed the spread with a pink glimmer spray, to pull out the colors and it also the text-background to stand out. And bye the way, when is a pink spray ever wrong?!

Now Have a great weekend and have some fun with finger-painting!

Week 45 and I did not have a plan. I did the title card but the rest, no idea. And that is how it is for many others. I tend to think about what card or paper I want to use during the week but not this week. 

 Here is my title card I made in the Rhonna Design App, witch by the way is my favorite app... after instagram.  I love the colors and the gold frame.

 The 3x4 cards was a bit of an challenge to fix. But in the end I picked a November calender, a brush filler card and a journaling card from Good Times value pack

 Wiola is a big part of my life sense I can´t do much. My back and head have been worse this week but having her makes me smile and that makes such a big different.  ...O and ice cream!

Have a great week, I have some videos planed from my art journal that I hope that you will like

I haven´t scraped allot in a while, but I have spent allot of time in my storybook. If you follow me on instagram you have seen some wip and pages. Today I thought I would show you how I did one of my favorite pages; Frost

Whit this page I wanted a winter feel with snowflakes but with an unexpected color. I would never have picked flesh but I did and I like it.

 This is a very easy page, paint, stencil and some messiness.

 Stencils don´t have to be expensive and made out of fancy plastic. I saved the scrap from when I die cuted the snowflakes and now I can use it as a stencil, spraying and modeling past.

 Lindy´s Stamp gang truly makes amazing sprays that drays like watercolor and the shine! This peacock-color is my favorite and is perfect for this page.

 White lifts. That is a thruth so on this page I used 3 different, paint, modeling past and a pearlesent have body paint. I only used my finger and dragged it across the page. This lights up but doesn´t hide the other layers.

 Contrast... = black ink. Yes I love my liquid black acrylic ink I needed some contrast and what better way then ink splatter?

I have had a bad week, well I still have it honestly... So you might feel my lake of enthusiasm, but that is the good thing about PL. I had a bad week and didn´t feel like scrap, so I printed my photos, picked some cards and done! not my favorite week but you know what? it´s done, in my album and now I can focus on this week.

 Now don´t get me wrong I did allot of fun things this week and got some really good photos but sometimes you just feel... blah.

 I just have to say how much I love this photo on the right. I love that you can see the gravestone, the fog and the church. I don´t know if any of you put candles on the graves at this time, but pleas let me know!

So I have spent allot of time in my art journal and I thought that I would show you some pages and process video this week, so if you are interested... The first one will be up tomorrow.

Have a great week

Love Julia 

Hello!

How is your week so far? In this part of the world it rains... And Wiola loves it! I don´t.... But anyhow, this is the day where I show you my progress in Project Life. Here is week 42:

For this week I picked a Sn@p pocket and the Theresa Collins "Life Emporium" 6x6 pad. This design has 6 4x4 ans 4 3x4, perfect for instagram photos.

 The title card I made in the Rhonna Design App, the colors works perfect with both photos and "Life Emporium". I just wrote week- number- date to date. And a pretty flower. I love this way of combining digital and physical scrapbooking. And with this app you can make a card in-front of the TV or waiting for prince Charming...

 I used some of the stickers from the collection and and cut white strips to journal on sens the wood paper is a bit hard to see.

 Witch is what I should have done on my muffins card, but hey, it works and I love that pattern!

I hope you all have a great week

Love Julia

Hey Pretty Girl!

This layout I wanted to try something different, combining to really different lines; Prima "Epiphany" and Crate paper "Note & Things". I wanted to use the ephemera pack, I think it´s fun but haven´t used it as much as I wanted. So on this layout I used a big part of it. (well not really, that pack is stuffed!)

 I picked pink, mint and orange this way the layout still look cohesive even though I use allot of different bits and pieces. On the right side I took a 4x6 ATC from the "Epiphany" and the title is the lovely gold letter from Thickers.

 I brushed the edges with a mix of "vintage photo" and "pumice stone" (I used the same dobber with different ink, what can I say... I like to live dangerous )

 Some black lace and gold dotted washi tape is just what the doctor ordered. Not to peak of some health ink splatter...

So in conclusion, don´t hesitate to mix different lines and brands, for when you do that the layout will be so much more interesting!

Have a great weekend, now it´s time for a walk with my pretty girl

Love Julia
