Happy Wednesday everyone, well not for me, I´m sick so instead of being a riding- instructor am a coach-sitter today. But that means that you get a new post today!

Today am showing you a layout of our calf Moa 21 from the day she was born.

 The papers are from Maja Design and this glass bubbles I just glued over prima papers with 2 and a 1. The flowers are misted with pink mists.

 So with all the green paper I wanted some pop of pink that picks up her sweet nose so flowers and allot of pearls. I also made a border with 4 washi-tapes. Just to add some layers.

 I wanted some black so I embossed this stamp in a fine embossing powder from Magnolia.

 And here we have the cutest little calf. She almost cuter now when she has her full winter fur and looks like a tiny bear.

So I hope you all like this layout, I really like that is "open" in the middle and the embossed flower-stamp...

I´m not a cake-mix kind of girl so when I got this kit from my sister for my birthday I was stunned. But I deiced to go with it and give it a try. So today I´m testing: Panduros Macaroons kit.

 So together with Arvid as the cameraman, lets get started. We started with the macaroon mix and lukewarm water.

 The mixing took some time

 When the mixing was done it looked and felt like cement.

 Time for some color! the kit comes with red, blue and yellow so you can mix any color you want.

 We put the mix in the piping-bag, that also comes with the kit.

 It truly was like piping pink cement, I just couldn´t get nice round shapes.

 So we let the the "cement" rest for 30 min before puting them in the oven and began to mix the butter-cream.

 So just adding milk

 and mix together.

 This is the finished macaroons.... Well first of all it looks like the macaroons as acne and then the butter-cream looks not very tasty...

 In the kit you get this cute little gift boxes to put the macaroons in.

So if you want to make macaroons but think baking is hard and boring then this is for you. But if you are like me and enjoy baking and find the baking relaxing then this is not for you. The taste was not there and the macaroon was way to compact for my liking. And another thing about this cake mixes, all brands, is that it´s not just sugar and flour. It´s some much E- stuff and anti crackle things. I think I´m sticking to baking from scratch.

The other thing is that when you´re baking you know what you put in, here you get a bag that you´ll mix with milk/ water. But when I bake I know what happens when I put eggs and sugar. And that is what I love with baking.

I love Panduro but I will not buy this kit or any other baking kit. But that is all that I wont buy because you all know how much I love their papers! But I really think you should try it if baking is not your thing.

I hope you all have a great week!

God evening everyone just a quick update that my new video is up on youtube and it´s how a did my Valentinesday-card .

I hope You´ll like it

Love Julia

It´s February and it´s snowing like crazy over here in Sweden witch gives me an excuse to stay in and make a card. And I though why not make a valentine card?

The papers are from Panduros "Sweet Christmas" paper pad.

 This little photo of the girls are from a Melissa Frances sheet with allot of vintage photos on.

 This roses where white before I sprayed them with a pink perfect pearl mist. When they had dried I put gule around the edges and poured glitter on. The result is that the roses looks like they have been out in the frost.
And that book page flower I have made and just put a pink pearl in the center.

 This wings are from a raping paper that I cut out and placed on either side of the image.

 This lace I found and took it before my mom saw it ;) I mean what don´t you do for lace?!

 And what is a card without a dymo?

 Tilda is colord with distress ink and Here you can see it happen ;) And some fran-tage is just necessary.

No project today just a quick update before I and Britta head off to Bollebygd. So I was at my chiropractor at 8:20 and lets just say I will go back on Friday.... It turns out that falling of horses is not good for your back, how know? Well any way on my way home I stopped at the supermarket to pick up some important stuff before we go.

As you can see all very necessary things. There is some baby-wipes to have on my desk. Some glitter and rhinestones, I don´t think I need explaining that. Gold and silver pens and a magazine, I hardly ever buy them but this one seems to be right up my ally. The gums are for me and the Rollinis are for Britta. I allso got some shampoo, wonder where I put that?

So to finish this off, I hope you´ll have a great week and I´ll be back on Thursday. And if you miss my to much then hop on over to youtube Here and check out my first video ;)

Guess what! I did another card... I know it´s chocking ;) But that´s not all, the papers that I used is from panduros "Sweet Christmas". I just love this papers and I have used then quite alot. So today I made a shabby chic card with a magnolia stamp, Tilda holding a rose. This stamps is older and I´m not sure that name it has but if you know just leave a comment :)

So distressed is the word of the day and almost all products are from panduro. 

 The flowers where white but with a light mist changed that. The blue roses

I just dipped in the bottle... I know I´m such a rebel X)

 Tilda is colored with distress ink and I´m trying out a new way to do her

checks. So it´s worn lipstick that is really blended and I´m loving it so I sticking with this.

Curled stems and vintage buttons, you know the drill. 

 Some fran-tage around the image and don´t forget the lace, I almost did...

An old pearl thing get to finish of the photos of this card.

This card is in the challenge over at Tildas town

I have made a layout, it has been ages sens I´ve done a layout. But now I´ve been playing around with the "sweet christmas" from Panduro and the more I use it the more I love it.

On this layout I´ve use the panel page and colors in pink and lilac. In the panels I put some panduro washi tape and I use cut-outs from the stack as embellishments. The buttons are vintage from my grans sewing box mixed with finds of my own.

 The bigger flowers are old ones from Prima, the big pink one I did out of some white fabric and sprayed with a pink perfect pearl. Then I have some smaller lily's and leafs. The pearl swirls are one of my favorite and I just cut them up so they fit.

 Here are some of the cut-outs. I just distressed the tags and put them on this pear shaped safety-pin.

 Another cut-out becomes a mat for the title. Can I say it to much, that I love my dymo!

 Jet another cut-out, they are just so pretty!

 My Sweetheart, Britta, she is really cheeky this one.

  I´m so in love with this shabby chic layout that I don´t want to put it away, will have to find a place for it so that I can see it!

Love Julia
