This kit has been such a joy to work with and I think this is one of my absolut favorits!
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.
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 have had such a hard day. I have fibromyalgi and today it has really been acting up so when I got my order from Sirap I Paris it really brightened my day!
I placed this order this weekend when scrolling through Instagram (I should not be looking at Instagram late sunday nights...) and saw that they had some of the new stuff from American Crafts.
Now this is a pretty big deal sens these brands are a challenge to say the least to get in Sweden. They only had a few pieces from each line and I have recently place a big order over at Scrobby.nl (expected delivery date; 15 november...) so this was more because it was fun and I really wanted them! The perk of shopping from a Swedish store is you get it after a few days. The not so fun is the higher price you'll have to pay for it...
Crate Paper -Maggie Holmes "Gather" stickers
These are so cute and even though I also ordered them from Scrobby.nl I think you can never have too many cute stickers!
(One thing that I truly hate about online-shopping is that you hardly ever get to see the front and back of product like these, is it really so hard to post a photo like this so here you can see the front and back?!!)
Crate Paper "Cool Kid" puffy sticker
So in my big order from Scrobby.nl I have quit allot of the "Cool Kid" but not these. They are puffy stickers but they are not so puffy. They are shiny and I would totally have gotten the "Cute Girl" if they would have had them.
Heidi Swapp Color Shine "Tinsel"
I have wanted a pretty silver mist and now when I'm starting a mini about my brother (using the "Cool Kid" by Crate Paper that has silver) I thought it would be a good excuse. It is pretty but I thought it would be more... sparkly, I don't know but the gold is so sparkly... well, well.
Amy Tangerine "Oh happy life" roller stamp
I have had my eye on this stamp but wasn't sure if the tiny font would stamp well. Well it does, so cute! I like that the handle is wood and that you get the weekdays and some that you can use when ever.
I really like that Sirap I Paris include a little gift in each order, these sticker will go straight to my TN! I do like shopping at them, they have a good price on shipping and it usually only takes a few days. They say that they have "selected inspiration" and that is true, they only have a few piece from each line and I wish that they would have the same piece from different lines. Like paper-pad, stickers and chipboard for example. or that you could pre-order to get the stuff you wanted.
I also would like some more information, more photo, like front and back and how many sticker there is in one pack, how much the paper weigh or how much is it in the ephemera pack...
When it comes to the price it's high. I ordered for the minimum, 249 SEK (about 30$), witch i think is a bit much for the stuff i got... However these things apply to all scrapbook stores in Sweden and in fact I think Sirap I Paris is among the ones that do the best when it comes to information and bringing in new products. Will i shop at them again? Yes of curse! I will continue to place (small) orders and I like that they bring in the new fun things!

When my aunt asked my brother and I to dinner at her cottage this weekend we where so happy. It's only half an hour drive and i is the cutest place. We hade such a lovely evening, making dinner, eating outside and then playing some board games.
Having dinner outside in September is a miracle i Sweden so we really enjoyed it. My brother grilled the meat to perfection and my aunt makes the best sallads I was mostly in the way... It's these little things, like random dinner plans that makes life wonderful.
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!
Starting my new "Road Trips" album I found that sometimes I hade several photos I wanted to use and sometime even photos from the same trip but from different places. How do I make one dubble page and a single page from different places, with very different feels, go together?
So I made a dubble page for Äskhult, with all of the photos and a single for Såkrsgård but used the same paper and embellishments. I wanted it to be clear that they where from the same day but from different times and places. Looking at them now I really like how they turned out.

I picked two pieces of paper and an embellishment that I could use on all three of the pages. They all have allot of white and to mark the how different the places where I used different thickers.
I picked a dark wood paper and a green floral (Maggie Holmes), these went so well with the photos from the old farm but also the new. Much green in the photos and wood here in Sweden, well it's everywhere. The embellishments, white flowers, I picked to go with the summer feel and sens they are white don't add to much wight to the pages but some interest and adds to the summer-outside feel.
Don't you just love when you get those "have to reorganize it now"-feeling a Friday morning just before you leave for school of work... Well I have though about my shelfs before but yesterday morning I just had to do it that day...
So here is the before, not to bad but things staked on each others stresses me out. Also I'm afraid an album will fall on my head when I craft.
The after is much better! With a very limited space you have to have a "make -do" attitude but I'm very happy with what I accomplished with on the time-35 min.
It has a lighter and airier feel, I could take away more like the gold box with stamps I hardly ever use but then I feel, I've spent allot of money on those and honestly the space that they are taking up is not worth that much... But yes, one day I will most likely sell them.
For now it feel better and I can keep crafting!
