Do you have a place for yous scraps. Do you look there often or do you, like me, just put scraps there but hardly go through it? Is there stuff on your desk that you think "I'll use that next time..." but never use it. I'm so good at shuffling papers and moving thing to the other side.
I have now really made an effort to use my pretty things and to look into my scraps!
This page was made with a pile of scraps that just happened to end up in the same pile. I think it's really fun to go through and find unexpected colors and pattern combinations.
Watercolor designed paper is everywhere and it's so pretty! Why not try to make your own. You choose the color and what to paint, the result, your very own design paper!
I had used Heidi Shine on some and the watercolors I used are the White Nights by S:t Petersburg. These are really good value and I highly recommend them. How ever you can use any type of watercolors, the important thing here is to have fun!
I was so inspired by this months mood board by Jot I just had to make a layout, or two. I love the bright white, with bold black and a hint of green. I started making one page and then just kept going, using many ont the things I already had taking out.
The result, two bright pages with black accent and green details.
On both pages I used the nickel wood grained paper and the Brentano stamps for titles. For the circle element I used black and white enamel dots and the stripes are from my favorit washi.
I love that the Jot mood boards are so fun and different from the "normal" scrapbook style. They always find such interesting and cool color combinations. This board I will most definitely use again!
The drama is over, I now have straight-edged-cardstocks!!
I have shopped at Scrobby.nl a handful of times and even though things can go wrong (exibit A) they are always so very nice and helpful. I think now when we shop more and more online and in other countrys the stores has even more pressure on delivering the promised products. It's not just packing the right stuff it's also is shipping it in a safe way and be there after to make sure it all got delivered. This means more focus on customer servis to make sure that the costumer will come back even though some things went wrong. And it's here that Scrobby.nl deserves it's golden star, in handling the unhappy customer (me) and making sure (I) will return, and that I will!
They shipped the papers again and also the traveler's notebook. How ever I don't need two so my sister got a nice surprise yesterday...
When shopping online and things don't end up the way they should, contact the store. Usually they will help you and try to get you back.
How To: YouTube, I have done videos for a few years and though my process changes the basic of it stays the same and i thought it would be fun to document this "hobby". I used the pretty C'est la Vie from my last Scrobby haul and wrote down "the rules" on my very imperfect typewriter, look close and you can see it doesn't type the full letter. I think it turned out great and i hope my fellow youtubes will like it too!
How To YouTube:
"Come up with an idea, preferably a brilliant one... Film it with no mistakes and no wrong cutting or spilling mist Photograph the amazing result in bright white natural light Import film and photos to computer Edit photos Edit video Record voice over 73 times, to make sure it is perfect Wait for the video to be saved Upload to YouTube Wait on video to be uploaded on YouTube Write a blogpost of your process and result Go through blogpost, perfect spelling and grammar! Link everything to everywhere And it's done, now start over."
I think this page is really fun and though it's a bit sarcastic it has a few serious elements that we youtubers has to remember while doing our videos; "Ignore the critics", "Play hard" & some gold mist can save the day...
Every spring we go to a place where the ground is white, covered by vitsippor. We take the annual family photos and wonder over the beauty of the white flowers.
I took a photo of my sister and her boyfriend and painted a background, like the ground that they where sitting on. I stitched a title, added leaves for texture and gold for sparkle.
Today I have a post of how I quickly *not so much* documented a trip from yesterday to Äskhults By in south-west Sweden and brunch at Skårs Gård. In my process video I have some "vlog" klipps if only to show you a bit of our beautiful country on our national day.
