Hello!

Don´t you just hate when you have done a really fun layout and messing up with the late thing; the damned Ink drops!

It´s been a bit of a drought here when it comes to creative work so yesterday I really wanted to just do a fun layout! Yellow paint and PL cards from the Open Book core kit (I think by now everyone knows just how much I love that collection!) Everything went great and I love how fun it was and working with so bright yellow! Then came that point where I needed that extra black to bump up the contrast, and what do I do? messing it up!! Trying to blow on it, making it worse...

But in the world of scrapbooking the mess has to be really bad for you not being able to save the layout... So I knew I wanted something to cover it up, whiteout looking heavy and had to be black. 

So I tried again with the treacherous ink, making flowers and leafs. If you look close you can still see the ink drops, by not covering it all up I didn´t loose that lightness but it looks more like I knew what I was doing... sort of. No, I really like how it ended and now I don´t just love it for the fact that I made an awesome layout with yellow, but I saved it! 

Now go and save some layouts!

Hello everyone!

I have some really exiting news, our Kerstin has given birth to 5 happy and healthy puppies the 20th of may! They are all doing well and are quit big! So now I will spend 90% of my waking time staring at them.

Naming this this little precious is a big deal so I decided to pick names from my favorite movies/ books.  The boys are all red witch is rather odd sens neither Kerstin or the father is red. It´s Kerstins grandmother how has that color but that is rather far back. Any way we are so happy that the red came through!

Here they are:

If you want to see more puppy-photos, follow my instagram :)

Hello
I´m here with part 3 of project Cheval and this one is one of my favorite! I love this dreamy layout for tow reasons, the soft colors and the you are being pulled in. And because I keep dreaming about him and want to keep that dream feel in this album.

I love the glitter and vellum elements here to and to the dreamy feel. The colors are perfect and so easy to use.

Hello!

I´m back with a Project Cheval layout. I really love doing this layouts, spending time with him and working with my "kit". Now as you can see in the intro I didn´t pick a big kit, but it´s great as an starting point. The Kiss Kiss chipboard and the Dear Lizzy Thickers are elements that i use on almost every page. In later layouts you´ll see me using different brands and collections but my goal for this album is to have fun and to have something to remember Cheval.

Soft, neutral and fresh. That was what I wanted for this and I really wanted a big part of that floral paper from Magnolia. The title is even based on that paper and I love how the soft blue helps the photo.

 There is not much on this layout but I love this heart banner from the chipboard pack. It adds just that extra but it´s still neutral so it goes so well with my other colors. 

 All of the colors are so... nice and to humph up the contrast I used the tiny letters from Tim Holtz and a black washi tape. I love the softness of this layout but adding just a touch black makes it so much more interesting.

Hello!
I have started a new project, an album about my pretty pony. He was an amazing pony and we where together for half of my life! So now I feel that I want to have an album just for him, about him. He is a big part of my previously albums but in this one I don´t want to focus on when or where. I want the story not how many procent we got on a competition. My plan is to take photo and use them as promts for telling our story.

The first layout I made is titled: Missing you

The story here is that after all of this years I still dream about him, and I wanted a page about that. That I´m still missing him. So I really wanted a dream like layout with soft colors and a hint of magic. Looking at it now; I´m so happy.

 The elements I used I picked for there color and feel to go with my dreamy thought. The thickers from Dear Lizzy are just perfect with that sugared finish and the soft colors of the Kiss Kiss chipboard works a charm.

 I added my journaling to a tag from the same paper-line though I wanted to keep the focus on that middle part and the kraft didn´t wokr as a background for the journaling.

 The last thing I added was this tiny words from Tim Holtz. "you are home" This means that the kraft gets picked up, it creates an interest and not to mention very meaningful to me.

Hello!

I have been complaining allot on my camera not behaving so today I was surprised the he acted well, on the other hand my printer did not...

For this week I wanted the page protector I used last week, but sens I used it last week I didn´t have it. So I took another from Simple Stories that had 3 4*6 and 1 6*12. I just saw, not that straight with my machine. 

 Best title card ever! If I may say so. I did some water colors earlier and loved this card. This has been me the week and I even draw in my new flower lights the 4*6 is also a watercolor card from today. To finish it I added some gold thickers and a date stamp.

 Here I took anther watercolor card, taped it to a 4*6 and then printed this small collage from the Project Life App. I really like doing my journaling in the app and on this I used a card from the Midnight kit.

 In the 2*12 pocket I put a paper from the Open Book (!) and then 4 2*2 photos with tiny word stickers from Tim Holtz. If you didn´t want that 2*12 pocket it´s super easy to just cut it of.

 Here you can really see the bad mood my printer was in and I just gave up. I´ll try to print again later but now I´m just o sick of it, it´s just supposes to work!

Hello!

Today I have a different project to share with you. If you have seen my room tour you know I have a string of flower lights above my window. I have had those for year and I love them. The other day my brother found a really cheap string of LED lights and I thought I might try doing my own flower lights.


This lights a battery operated and I don´t know how many hours they last but sens it´s LED they should keep for a while. Now I prefer mine to have a warm white light because it´s for cozy-ing.

Here is how I did it: 

 I really like how they turned out, I would have liked them even more if I´ve had more colored flowers but that´s the way it is.

 Now they hang by my bed, witch is good sens I´ve moved my lamp to my desk to get more light...

 That warm light makes all the difference. And it´s so easy to do! Now be sure to read on your lights so that they don´t start a fire, that is not cozy...

Love Julia
