As per usual I have a process video up today and on this one I mixed Confetti by Maggie Holmes and Craft Market by Crate Paper
This two collections go so well together and made a really fun layout.
The title "Love You" is part from Craft Market chipboard and part thickers "sentiment"
I can´t turn down gold ether foil or glitter so I did both here.
"you are my happy"
I had to use this blue squirrel on a LO whit Wiola. If you have seen the movie "Up" you know what I´m talking about... Squirrel!

Hello
I have the last layout in the fine& dandy challenge to show you, where I use the 6x6 paper pad from Dear Lizzy fine & dandy collection
In this one I went back to the 12x12 and started with a white cardstock. I wanted to have a panel with different pattern papers from red to pink to white and then sewn down. And if I say so, it turned out pretty close to what my plan was.
Whit all of this light colors and patterns I wanted to bring in black to humph it up. I love using black as an accent color, here I have the tiny word strips from Maggie Holmes and from her also a black & white bow.
The title is part Maggie Holmes too, I think you is the queen of ephemera packs!. The vellum word "adorable" is from her Confetti line and "Wiola" is thinkers Gilded
The heart and the gold dots are from Studio Calico, the word stickers from Maggie Holmes and the label is from Teresa Collins
Here I wanted to play with the layers under the photo so instead of just patterned paper I also had some pink tissue and that fun star vellum from Maggie Holmes.
I hope that you have liked this little series and that i will see you all soon
Love Julia
Hello!!
I continue with this super fun challenge and on this layout I picked to go together with the Dear Lizzy Fine & Dandy pad, the labels from Teresa Collins and the Thickers are "Gilded"
On this layout I wanted two things, a grid design and stitching.
I´m not a master sewer and can´t sew a straight line... ever! but sens there are so many layers you can´t even tell it´s all wanky. And I love the feel of it!
I´m not a red fan but here it just worked, with the photo and the together with the other colors
When I first noticed this gold labels from Teresa Collins I just had to have them! But you all know how it is when shopping online... The foil is really good, but the label is a bit to slick and if you don´t have a steady hand, it will be a mess... But they are so pretty!
Before I sign off; make sure that you don´t have any wet on non-porous things. I did and when I put it in it´s page protector it smeared all over! that tiny drop!!!

Hello! I have something really fun going on! It´s a personal challenge (like I need another...) and I love for you to play along. All you need is a 6x6 paper pad that you haven´t used, don´t know how to use or just find challenging. I have been eyeing the Fine & Dandy pad by Dear Lizzy for quit a time, thinking that I wouldn´t like it, it wasn´t for me and had the "wrong" colors. But I can´t resist a challenge so I got the pad and now three layout later I find it so fun and energetic to work whit!
Here is the first layout, a A4 witch is new for me. I wanted to focus on the photo and layer all of this fun patterns to add interest. Also a thin strip at the top and bottom to frame the layout.
Mixing collections can be tricky but here with the Fine & Dandy I used tiny word stickers from Confetti by Maggie Holmes and they work so well together. I think that this papers need some extra... humf. And the best way to humf it up is by using black, like this stickers and ink drops.
Another thing that works so well is gold! Here I have my favorite thickers; Sentiment.
Some times you get ahead of your self and don´t notice that you are making a mistake. Like gluing done the letters of the title before you´ve checked to see if you have them all...E... And bye the time you come up with a fix...3... you´ve put the ltters in the wrong order... It was a good day
Any how, moving on, the pretty wood hears are painted with a serious hot pink nail-polish. And also I didn´t mention that the photo is layered first on light pink tissue paper. I have to say that I love using it for the lightness and texture and lightness. Did I say that twice? good.
This is a very clean and simple layout so I wanted some action in the background, pink and black mist. I truly believe that if you want to work with soft and warm colors without it getting to "soffty-girly-pinki" you have to add something to humf it. Black is a sure card and also metallic, to break the sugar feel.

Hello Project Cheval, my attempt to do a 12*12 album just about how much I miss my old ponny. Well here is another layout. The album is actually coming together it´s just my lack of inspiration and love for my blog that hinders you from seeing it... How ever I´m here today to share the layout Hello and the process video for it
On this layout I started with a sand colored cardstock and some white paint through a Heidi Swapp stencil. I wanted a calm page but with allot of pattern, sound very logical right.
But by only having the pattern as a mat to this photo i work, well that and the fact that this photo is very calm and hardly as any colors. So that the papers and the photo doesn´t competes whit each other. The papers I used are from a Dear Lizzy 6*6 pad "Polka Dot Party"
There is not allot of embellishments on this page, just a few chipboard pieces from Crate Paper "Craft Market" and some word stickers from Maggie Holmes Confetti.
I really like how this page came together even though I can see some thing I would like to have done differently, like the price-ribbon... But on the hole I like it and now I want to get more sand colored cardstock!

Hello
making a mini is supposed to be fun, easy and QUICK! Here is my go-to album that you can use as a jumping of point.
Here is a peak in my finished album and how you can decorate it.
Whit this binding you can be so creative and really have fun whit it. On the other hand if you want a more neat and clean binding try the D-ring.
And here we have the album from the video:
It´s so easy to put together an album whit a paperpad, it will always look cohesive and thought through.
I hope you like the idea and that you got a bit of inspiration

I think of scrapbooking as serving two interests; memory keeping and crating art. This layout is purely for the second reason
.
I had so much fun playing with different textures and Pink & Gold
The embellishments are from different collections from Crate Paper and the title are a clear word from Confetti.
Sewing down the tissue-ruffles is the cutest thing I´ve done in a long time I think I have to do that more... allot more...
Gold is a big trend now and I love the warm metallic and here I have a gold ribbon, stickers, chipboard and the star vellum.
I think this layout was so much fun making and makes me happy to look at so I put it in a black Prima frame.
So if you are planing to scrapbook today, make a layout just for fun, with fun techniques and pretty colors. oh and gold!
