Hello!

Love this moment, the photo is from our last visit to the Zoo. We got the see the wild dogs witch pretty much always are hiding. So I wanted t make a layout about that moment and make my first layout with Maggie Homes "Open Book" line!

Hello!

Project Life, I´m so glad I have met you! Lately I really have embraced the simplicity of project life, just photos and cards. I have also worked hard on changing my attitude when scrapbooking in generally. Instead of thinking "so pretty, want to save" I try to think "so pretty, want to use!". Because if that flower or paper are so pretty, you will buy more of it! And for that reason I´m going to continue to use the Maggie Holmes mini kit for this week.

 I picked the cards with mint color because I wanted that cool feel to come through that we had this week. Another thing is that I added a flip pocket from Simple Stories so that I could add two extra photos. The journaling card behind the photo of the goats are the backside of a card from last week. That color was just right and why not use it?

Hello!

So this weekend I started to go through my desk, (witch was much needed!) But I found some stuff and thought that I could make a card. What I found was, 1 bloom girl stamp, vellum and a craft cardbase. 

I wanted to try a white-line teqnice and her as a statue (like I did with this card) . The white-line makes a softer inpression and so I colors softer and with softer colors.

 The vellum frames the card without any hard edges and the gold dots brings it all together.  I love how soft the image is and the bleeding of the red.

You know what?, I think I´ll keep this card ;)

Hello! I think there is no secret that I have a little crush on Maggie Holmes! I just got some stuff yesterday from the "Open Book" and LOVE! But today Is not about that, it´s about what you can find on her blog. A few day ago she posted a list for vintage ephemera with fall theme. So I printed out an A4 and made a layout...

 The photo is from a walk in the woods and I wanted to keep that feeling in the layout. For me the woods is magic and I wanted to keep that. The background is distress ink and mist and mounted on a forest green paper from Inkado. I layered the printed pieces with difftrenet odds and ends that I found on my desk.

 To get that magic feel I sprayed with gold very slowly, this way you get the drops = magic.

I love the end result, is really feels like the woods, I hope you liked the process video and that you could understand what I was saying...

Hello!
Well my week haven´t had the best start and now I have a bad sore throat. So here is the process video:

I used the Maggie Holmes mini kit for this layout sens I wanted a bit more color. As you can see I had allot of journaling so I picked the pocket design with 4x6 laying down. 

I hope you liked the layout and video even though it´s so simple.

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!
