:: Prima BAP january ::

2012-01-27T06:49:00.001+01:00

It was a couple of mounth since I played with Prima BAP and I have missed it! So in january I´m in again:) This time the page are in a lot of purple and lilac colors. Me likey:)

My New Year´s resolution for this year is to smile a lot! I cut out a chunk of wellpapp and saw it on a cardstock. Then I used paint and Gesso to grunge it upp a little. Then I sprinkled the page with a lot of gorgeous Prima flowers!

:: The Color Room with Pion ::

2012-01-25T06:52:00.002+01:00

I love The Color Room and the challenges but I have only played twice before? But the past colors I just had to create after! It was in green and three pinks, not very boyish. But that didn´t scare me but inspired me to create a boy page! I have used Pion pappers from Till Far and Från mitt hjärta II.

Viggo is sitting in a plane at a play ground called Mulle Meck. A heaven for a little boy who loves his cars and other stuff you can ride on!

:: Played with Faber-Castells Pit-Pens ::

2012-01-24T07:31:00.000+01:00

The other day I made an article for Scrapgalen about Pit-Pens and how fun they are. I made two simple pages for my Art-journal with birds on.

A sun out of pens! Of course I want many moore colors:)

First I made two backgrounds with only the pens. One with a grid stamp and the other with a stamp I colored in two colors and then wet stamped in black. Fun!

One bird made out of bookpages and DecouPage.

And this one I just draw in a playful way. And no I can´t draw but I had fun! Lot´s of fun! If you haven´t tried them you have to, they are really cool! Now I will just put some words to my pages:)

:: Baby Card ::

2012-01-23T06:01:00.000+01:00

Today I have a little babycard to show you!

I really try not to buy so many new stamps because I could open a shop with all I already own;) But this little cutie I couldn´t resist! It is from Lili of the Valley and i love it! I think the papers are from Crate if I remember it right?

:: SWE Lift Umenorskan ::

2012-01-21T08:19:00.001+01:00

In our team at SWE we have the most talented girls! Trust me, they are! Christine/Umenorskan are one of them and I really love her style! She is also a very sweet girl in real life! This week we are lifting her very cool page. I´m not so brave that I can mix colors like her, but I can make romantic pages with flowers:)
Make sure you pop over to the SWE blog and look at the other girls pages!

The page are about my cute mother "back in the days". In her lap she have my grandparents dog Mackie. I really loved that dog and it´s so fun that he is on the picture. I made my background by adding PanPastel and Mist then a layer of Gesso. I stamped in the Gesso before it dried.

There are a lot of talented cardmakers out there! One of them are Annabelle. I admire her big time! Today we are lifting (do you say that, lifting?) one of her cards. I choose it for the team last autumn but it was no problem to make other cards after it.
I was so inspired that I made two cards and could easily made more! I love them both and I hope you to like them!

:: Easel Card ::

2012-01-17T05:53:00.001+01:00

I have created one Easel card for a challenge over at MeaVita Scrapbooking. The easiest thing maybe would have been to make a super romantic card but now I made one for a man. I used the pretty papers from Pion Design called Till Far.

I made the flowers myself!

And of course I used my sewingmachine on every edge. I´m not sure this sides will even show? But it make´s me feel good:)

This year Viggo didn´t want to be a Santa when I took this picture;) I always put a picture on the inside of our Christmas cards for the closest family. But a grumpy Santa is also cute! I have created my page with papers from Pion Designs "Väntan på tomten II".

I just love these colors together!

I have used two Prima wines but one of them I cut apart to several pieces. It felt a bit strange but I try not to be so scared of changing my materials.

Hope you liked it!

2012-01-08T06:09:00.001+01:00

I´m back with another canvas I made for my mother! This was a Christmas gift but I didn´t had the time to finish it for Christmas. So this is my first She Art 2012! My mother like´s angels so I made one for her with some words I really mean!

She, my mother, also likes blue colors so I used Pions gorgeous new papers in 6x6. I really likes how it turned out! Just like I wanted to! Yay!

I made big curly hair with hearts. Cuuuute!

I colores a Doilie with gold Dabbers. On the lace I used some cute Rub-ons. If you cover it with Decou-page it works really good.

For the skirt I made many layers of paper and Crepepaper.

And finally some words for my mother. Some angels choose to walk among us people!

Hope you liked it!

Two days before Christmas seven years ago my sister gave birth to a little boy! That little boy have now turned seven and are the sweetest cousin you could ever wish for. Viggo loves him dearly! Viggo decided that Malte should get a Pirate on his birthdaycard and of course I did as Viggo told me;)

I have so many cards to show you that I have to show many at the same time! More fun before Christmas than after;)

I bought some new Spellbinders and this is one of them. Cute!

I cut out the kids from the same paper as the background. The flower I made with dies from Magnolia.

And on the last one for today I used a lot og gold Stickles. All papers are from Pion Design!

:: Cute box for a candle ::

2011-12-15T06:48:00.001+01:00

Yesterday we lifted a very talented girl named Marianne. Marianne are also my college over at Pion and I really admire her a lot! She often folds the most beutiful boxes and cards. I had really short of time but I stil managed to fold a very easy but fun box. Maybe it should have been a bit higher but I will try again, it was really fun!

I worked with papers from Pion.

This was a gift for my skinterapeut and she´s really an angel. So I made her a candle with an angel and some words. Then I wrapped it nice for her.

:: Colored Stamps ::

2011-12-14T06:31:00.003+01:00

Today I´m showing two Christmas cards I created for Scrapgalen with papers from Lily Bee. Usually I´m using many stamps and color them for my Christmas cards. This year I have been using many of Pions Vintage pictures. But I love the calm feeling I get of sitting and coloring stamps. I have colored with ProMarkers.

Wintercool colors!

And one in green and red!

:: I like stars ::

2011-12-13T06:28:00.000+01:00

At first I didn´t like this card? But then I created the border under the sweet girls and now I just love it! The layers of stars are just to cute!
Hope you all have a wonderful Lucia!!!

:: Our sketch from the SWE crop ::

2011-12-09T06:07:00.000+01:00

When the SWE team had our very first IRL crop Helene draw a sketch for all of us. I started my page but talked and took care of the food so I finished it at home. First I didn´t want to show you the page at all but here it is:)
Clean and simple.

:: Really clean and really crazy with Gesso ::

2011-12-08T06:11:00.001+01:00

I have played with some Gesso for Scrapgalen. One turned out really simple and clean and the other a bit crazy;) But I had a fun time!

I colored my Gesso with Black soot Ditress ink. Then I used a cute stencil and made a frame to my picture of Viggo opening his Christmas presents last year.

And the next are everything but clean and simple;) I got a little bit crazy with my stencils and colors!

:: One simple Christmastag ::

2011-12-07T06:39:00.000+01:00

When Scrapgalen had there "Julmys" I held a workshop that we called Make & Learn. I wanted to show all fun products and let the girls try them all themself. I think they had a fun time, or hours;) However, I made this really simple Tag to show Mists and think it turned out really cute so I show it to you!

Just use two different Mist´s and stamp something in black. If you want to use a textstamp too. A fast and cute Tag for Christmas gifts!

:: Christmas card in bright and fun colors ::

2011-12-06T06:11:00.001+01:00

Another Christmas card! Today one I created for Scrapgalen with paper from Lily Bee and a stamp from Magnolia. I have also used some Washi tape, my first I think?

2011-12-04T14:44:00.003+01:00

Today it´s time too show my take on this weeks sketch from Creative Scrappers. It´s very different from my last sketch take;) This week I filled my page with flowers, really filled it!

And this is the gorgeous sketch!

At first I didn´t know if I liked my page. I sat with a bunch of flowers and felt I lost my flower mojo totally. But after I slept on it I started all over and now I like it! My mother are only twenty at the picture, so sweet, I felt it matched the style nice. I painted two different doilies in green and pink a fun thing to do!

A bunch og flowers with some Rhinestones.

I used a small doilie and painted it too. On almost all the flowers I used Blingz in Pixie Dust.

This cutie are from Petaloo!

A little different style to stamp on craftpaper and not coloring it. But I like it!

The rhinestones from Prima are really gorgeous!

:: Three babycards ::

2011-11-30T06:35:00.001+01:00

And finally the same stamp as the first but in pink and green instead.

2011-11-29T07:46:00.002+01:00

For one and a half week ago we had our first irl crop with the SWE team. Some of the girls had travelled a long way to come and I´m so happy they did! We had a fab time and we will meet next spring again! For a surprice to the girls Helene had asked talanted Åsa, who started SWE together with Helene, to have a workshop with us. She inspired us to use our Promarkers and just a white cardstock and doodle away:)

:: Lift at SWE week 47 ::

2011-11-26T07:44:00.002+01:00

Another really simple and clean page from me:) We are lifting Svarta Malin over at SWE and this are my take on the challenge.

It not so often that Viggo laying down and read a book. But here I was quick with the camera. I pick my fave colors and cut some pieces and then I saw around them in black.

A stickers with some Rub-ons and only one Butterflie are my decorations.

I created the background by rolling a rollerstamp over the whole page. Love those stamps!

I år tänkte vi på Scrapgalen ha en litet annorlunda utmaning som sträcker sig under hela december, ända till Julafton! Vi kallar den för Adventsutmaningen!

Adventsutmaningen består utav 4 st olika utmaningar som kommer att löpa under en veckas tid och du kan välja att delta i en eller flera utav deltävlingarna. För varje deltävling du deltar i erhåller du 1 st lott. Om du placerar dig på pallplats erhåller du, utöver denna första lotten:

* 3:an får 1 st extra lott och ett presentkort värt 50 kr
* 2:an får 2 st extra lotter och ett presentkort värt 100 kr
* 1:an får 3 st extra lotter och ett presentkort värt 150 kr.

Detta innebär att om du skulle delta i alla tävlingarna och har turen att kamma hem vinsten i alla tre, så får du maximalt 16 st lotter!

Varje deltävling har deadline för inlämning följande fredag klockan 16:00 och du deltar genom att lägga till ditt bidrag i en länklista som ligger i botten på varje tävlingsinlägg. Ditt bidrag kommer då att synas som en liten tumnagelbild sist i inlägget. 1:a, 2:a och 3:a utses genom röstning i designteamet.

På julafton kommer vi sedan att lotta fram en vinnare utav en härlig, scrappig Julklapp med ett värde på ca 500 kr!

:: Scrapgalens team om Malins sketch ::

2011-11-18T06:48:00.000+01:00

Scrapgalens october challenge were to draw and scrap after your own sketch. The girl who won, Malin, draw a fun sketch and five of us in the team created layouts after Malins sketch. This is my take!

Sometimes it come´s out really clean and simple layouts from my brain? But I like it! I flipped the sketch and then I played with one of my favourite stencils and som mist.

Papers from Jilli Bean Soup and Three Bugs In A Rug. Love the die-cut stars!

Moore stars, die-cuts and some rhinestones in black.

:: Card sketch week 46 ::

2011-11-16T07:49:00.000+01:00

Today It´s time for another cardsketch over at SWE. I used some of my cute vintage pictures from Pion and paper from Pion.

Sometimes I just like my cards a little bit cleaner like this one.

:: Just love this blue shades ::

2011-11-14T06:11:00.000+01:00

I´m back with another card created with blue shades from Pions the "Till Far" collection. I like to play with different colors and now i have done one black/grey, one green and one card in blue colors:) And of course I will create many moore cards and pages with this gorgeous collection!

I framed my Vintage picture, also from Pion, with a die from Spellbinders. My Roses is misted with blue and silver from Tattered Angels.

My Tag/Label/Banner with some cute words on I cut from one of the paperborders. I like how it turned out!

I also used one of my Martha Stewart punch around the page punches and of course my sewing machine;)

:: A new sketch is up ::

2011-11-13T14:32:00.001+01:00

Don´t miss the new cool sketch over at Creative Scrappers!

:: Clean and Green ::

2011-11-12T06:10:00.000+01:00

Today I´m showing you a clean card to a man. I think you can use a lot of flowers on cards to men but some times you need a clean one. I used some of the new papers from Pions "Till Far" collection.

:: Swe card ::

2011-11-10T06:42:00.000+01:00

Yesterday it was card day over at SWE and here´s my take on the sketch!

I´m like a child when it come´s to Teddybears:) This cutie I couldn´t resist and aren´t he just adorable? I stamped him on Kraft paper in brown and just colored his nose. I really like how it turned out!

Behind the Bear I used a Doilie die and then some MS Butterflies. First one layer in black and then one printed for cool effect!

:: My first card with the new Pion collection ::

2011-11-08T06:31:00.000+01:00

I´m so lucky to have the most fantastic design asignments! Last week I got a whole pile of gorgeous brand new papers from Pion Design. The new collection are called - Till Far and are totally fun to play with! I made three cards in a row and this are my very first one of them.

I used one Spellbinder die to cut out the man and then I cut the darker paper by hand. As so often I used my sewing machine.

With some 3d effects a clean card can look interesting.

Hope you liked my card and that you too want to buy some of the papers!

I´m a bit scared to show you my very first take on a sketch from Creative Scrappers as a team member. I still can´t belive that I´m on the team? Please leave some love for me if you liked it:)
I created the Chevron print by working in Gesso and then I misted the page in a cute Turquoise color. The Butterfly stamp are from Jenni Bowlin. Love it!

When I was at Karin Zanders shop for some days ago I bought som gorgeous stuff from Dusty Attic. Here I painted the window with Dabbers. The fence are from DA too.

The little birdhouse from Prima got a little bit of paint on the edges to take off the white a bit.

Most of the flowers are from Prima Marketing:) I love mixing tecnique products like Gesso and romantic flowers.

Finally one moore close up:)

:: Prima BAP october ::

2011-11-04T06:09:00.001+01:00

Last weekend I was at a crop at Scrapgalen. I managed to create a whole page in ten hours:) Well done Ullis;) But I talked a lot instead;)

I just love the Printery colllection from Prima! The black together with teal are just gorgeous! And a page about me with pictures taken by myself makes it moore fun:)

Layers, stitches and Dabbers.

A bunch of flowers and some bling hiding under the branches.

Mostly flowers from older collections but the dark grey Rose are new.

Can you see it?

I used one of my favourites when i comes to Prima bling. Now I only have one of these white left. Please let me know if someone knows where I can buy moore.

2011-10-23T06:46:00.001+02:00
