Hello! Today I have a layout made with the same kit as I used for project life yesterday. I wanted it to be very light and allot of "white space". I started with a white cardstock that I had painted with left over gold paint (I hate wasting paint)
I love how the colors work together with the sequins, it just pops. The title I did with black and then cut it out with tiny and sharp scissors.
With the sequins I paired white tiny pearls give the layout that light touch of magic.
The one thing I would change is the journaling, I think I would rather have it next to the photo. That would make it a bit more "together"
I hope that you liked this layout and the process.
Hello! It´s Tuesday and I´m about to show you my week 40! For this week I made a kit for project life and two layouts. I started with two papers from Basic Grey "wisteria" after that I took some cards from the "Good Times" value pack from Becky Higgins. So this was my base and then I picked different bits and pieces.
For this week I decided to make a full spread for two reasons; I had so many photos that I wanted to incorporate and I wanted to use as much as I could from the kit...
This page design is from Simple Stories- Sn@p and I love that you get vertical and horizontal photos and the long 12x2. That strip of course you can embellish and use the space more then I did but I just wanted that amazing paper! So on this page it´s very bare, a title card and a few nature photos. The 4x6 filler card I just painted with black ink "The sky is awake" witch is a quote from from Frozen.
On the right side I have more I have more journaling. The October card is lilac water-color and black ink. My favorite photo is the one on the far right of Fridolf. I love the light and he fact that he looks normal... I hardly ever get a photo of him, let alone one where he looks good. I also decided to to take a screen-shot of my phone. I see this everyday but in five years I most certainly will have forgot what apps I used everyday.
I did went with a simple title card, witch I don´t normally pick. I tend to go with the cards where I can journal but sens I did a double spread I picked this cute one. Half a doily and the ticket is from the "Notes & Things" from Crate paper. So simple and the gold helps to bring the left and right sides together,
On this design you have two 3x4 card and I picked two from Instagram, one is of our Cinnamon-buns and one is from Wilna Fursenburg. The 4 of October is the Cinnamon-buns day in Sweden and of course that has to be celebrated and the other is just "hey, I´m in the art & design class"
The "October" is painted on watercolor paper and the cut out old school- pint & cut... I also worked on have the heart brads on the page and I really like them.
I love this 3x4 from the "Notes & Things" that looks like a tiny book cover. And what better then a dymo label?
I hope that you like this spread as much as I do! This week I have two layouts to show you so look out on Wednesday and Friday!
Have a great week
Love Julia
Hello Thursday! Todays layout is made with the same papers as I used for Project Life w 39 . I have said before that I wanted to challenge myself in Project life and not only use the same "DIY-Shop" but to try different things. So far I have used the Maggie Holmes "Flea Market" and Teresa Collins "Life Emporium" 6x6 pad. So for this week I decided to take this beautiful paper pack from We R- "Indian Summer".
I started with a photo from the week that didn´t make it in to the album. I made it black & white so that I could use any color I wanted without thinking of it going against the papers. I also wanted to use more tiny embellishments, like the reins and wood veneers.
I used a old pen-nip for writing with a liquid acrylic ink. The type looks so different depending on what pen you use and using an old pen is not just fun but visually interesting.
I wanted allot of layers on this layout with allot of colors and patterns. This mustered yellow and teal is so amazingly perfect but it won´t be too much sens the black and grey keep up the contrast. The quot is a PL card from the "Good Times" value pack.
I used some stickers from the pack together with with some gold resin/ heart, wood veneer and enamel dots. The gold goes so well with this colors and especially the teal backgrounder.
The finishing touch has to be some black ink splatter. I use liquid acrylic and I love how fast it dries.
I hope that you liked this layout and video, have a great weekend and see you on Tuesday!

Hello!
For this week for Project Life I choose the We R "Indian Summer" paper pack. I love the patterns and colors, not the mention the texture that is just... best! So in this pack not only do you get 4 of each double sided papers you get a sheet of stickers and 3 tags. Now I hardly ever use tags but I wanted to try to work one of them in to this week.
I had to have a nature photo but I had no room for one, but thanks to this extra pockets from sn@p I got I place for my sunrise and space for journaling. Also I got to use one of the tags for journaling to the photo on the right (of the horse) The only thing I can say badly about the extra pockets is when it´s pair with this pocket page design. On the left there is a 12x2 pocket and sens the opening is so long every time you open the extra pocket you´ll open that long space. I think that I´ll try to sew it down... when my machine is working
Some of the photos from my phone I took for a dance in the Rhonna Design app . Those photos got a "chalk-board" frame and text in the same feel. The title card is made in this app with the same elements and I just love the way you can combine papers and digital elements to get a harmonious layout.
For my journaling card (where the camera went to sleep) I cut a 4x6 piece and layered a yellow and the feather paper on top for more interest and a place for a title (the date) I then started to wright around the photo of Frasse & Sack. I love how it turned out. The seconed 3x4 card didn´t make it in the video either but it was really simple. The border is from the sticker sheet and I just lay down some masking tape to wright on.
Hello I have a new process video to sheer with you and sense I don´t have "project" for now I thought that I would try to combine Project Life and Scrapbooking. You know that I try to find new things for each week of Project Life so now what ever I do then I´ll try to make a layout with the same products. This week I used the 6x6 pad from Teresa Collins "Life Emporium" and the 2 sticker sheets.
So when I ordered this pad I just thought how pretty it was but then I always have a hard time making a 12x12 layout out if 6x6 papers. How do you do it with out it looking like you "only" had 6x6 papers? Well I think for me it came down to two things: 1 start of on a white cardstock and 2, layers. YouTube is an amazing thing and you can find so much inspiration there, I love watching Ashley Laura she has the hole layering thing down!
So I started with a white background and distress inks in "tattered rose" and "pumice stone" this colors goes great with the "life emporium" line.
I then started to layer the different papers and stickers. The gold doily, black letters, sequins and wood veneers are the only things not from the line.
I used with nail polish instead of enamel dots or ink, just love the effect and so perfect with the sequins.
I hope you liked this layout and process video even though it came up a bit late. On Tuesday the next week of Project Life will be up and a product
Love Julia
Hello and happy Tuesday!
For this week of project life I wanted to try something different. Last week I used the Maggie Holmes mini kit; Flea market. I decided to go with a 6x6 pad from Teresa Collins; Life Emporium. I love the colors and the patterns are too pretty! This pad don´t only have 6x6 designs but some with 6x4 and 3x4 (and some other cut-outs elements) I also used the two sticker sheets that is in the collection.
Sens I only do one page per week I don´t have much room for filler cards so that means I have to be more creative! Here I have a title card, the "V38" are gold glitter letters from "once upon a time" from DCWV. In the right corner I cut out some elements and stuck them down with a stapler. on the bottom right corner I just made a simple collage, now after I´m not to crazy about it but yeah.
For one of the 3x4 cards I cut out a design from the pad and the other I cut out a 3x4 from the cork paper, added a sticker and a grid paper.
"Start each day with a grateful heart" well how about a gold heart? Or a gold bloop... Yeah not so good.
Just love how well this colors goes together, I would never thought of this combo but that is why it´s so fun!
Have a great week 40 and I hope to see you next week for week 39!
Love Julia
Hello and happy Friday!
I have another layout today as part of "puppy-week". Tomorrow Florin will go to his new home and on Sunday it´s Peso´s turn. But for now they are all asleep so I wright with speed!
So on this layout I started with the photo (it´s Rubel, Peso + frog and I going to drive my little brother to school on morning) I matted it on vellum and then two papers from the 6x6 Portobello Road from the lost & Found by My Mind´s eye. That and the 6 x 12 piece in the right side are the only papers.
This layout I wanted to be fun and playful. The blue drops are from a mixed mist and the sequins in different whites. It adds to the playfulness and feels free.
The chipboard are from American Crafts and I got it just for the reason that I never buy chipboard shapes and i wanted to try it. Well I think they are nice and the jar with hearts are really cute but I don´t think I´ll but this pack again, maybe from another brand.
On several of the pieces I added glossy accents, and not very neat. I did add some enamel dots in pink, white and orange just to have some red-thread in this layout.
In all honesty if I would do this again it would look allot more... different. More pulled together and less all over the place. But I love that photo and the story, apart from the title. And Hey, it´s not the prettiest but in all the chaos it captures that morning.
