I love treasure hunting. Going to different second hand shops and flea markets to see if we can find some treasures. Now a treasure for me may be rubbish for you, but that is the charm with it!
This page is from one of those hunting day me, my sister, brother and cousin had a few month ago. We went to a huge, HUGE, flea market hosted by the local soccer club. We had a really fun day and I did find some treasures! You can read and see more photos in this blogpost
I really like making pages about our little day trips! Just think that a few month ago I avoided even to think of them! I have found that I keep these pages a bit simpler and cleaner, using less colors and allot less embellishments. Not that odd really when I usually scrapbook one photo here I use two or three.
On this page I wanted to try capture the feel of this old water mill that has turned into a café. I like this black & white paper from Maggie Holmes and the feel of tea and cakes that it gives. Also you know I love my leafs and I just this they are the perfect thing to add (to pretty much anything). I keeped the color to black & white with green and silver accents to work with the photo.
Let's continue this weekend with a few process videos of the travel pages. Here is one I made of a trip we made in april to look at a farm of daffodils. It was so pretty, and cold but mostly pretty!
I used the Felicity Jane June kit and I knew I wanted to use the greenish/yellowish paper and the wood-vener on this photo. I kept it rather simple and let the photos tell me where they wanted to be and then filled in with the title and journaling.
I so like how this page turned out, the colors and the title (!)
and the just a bit of Heidi Shine to break up all of the lines.
My best medicine for morning pain is hands down my lovely little rascal to dog. When some days starts of a bit harden usual she jumps up and lays down next to my legs. If it is her pressens, warmth or some magical healing power i don't know. All I know is she that she makes life a little bit easier.
Here is another page I made using the June Felicity Jane kit. I really like how it came out especially the splatters, the pretty red and the mix of photos.
This kit has been such a joy to work with and I think this is one of my absolut favorits!
I get very inspired by colors and fun color-schemes. Colors that make me think and makes me happy. Like the colors in Suse's kit for Felicity Jane. I love that lavender blue color and with those soft pinks it really made me want to create.
I had a very clear plan when I started this page, I wanted the colored cardstock as a background with some with paint and the vellum shapes and sequins sewn in a "reef" around the photo.
Starting with such a specific plan scars me a bit, I'm not very good at following directions even if they are me own but it turned out really nice!
Is there any thing better to find in your mailbox then happy-mail? This week I got my order from Pyhobby.se and the July and August kits from Felicity Jane.
The July kit was design by the lovely Suse Fish and I think I might do a mini with this kit...
The August kit, called "Maggie" has a very fun and fresh feel. What I will do with it, as of now I have no idea but it will be very fun to play with.
A very spontaneous order from pyhobb.se but this paper pack "Tales from Willson Wood" was just too cute! Think I want to make a TN insert, and cut all of those cute critters out!!
I have really loved working with the Felicity Jane kit; "Next Stop" the colors and elements are so vivid and fun! My favorite part had to be the letters and I knew I wanted to do a page with a big title.
This page is about my mom and our little Majken, on the photos they had just passed their last test in order to become tracking champions. My mom really didn't get a diploma for making Majken a champion so I wanted to make her one, in my own way, telling her that she really is a champion!
Sometimes you just have to sit down and play! The other day I had one of those days and I had so much fun, nor even noticing that the camera died...
I was inspired my some really awesome youtube-ladies; Suse & Adele and I had just had so much fun. I did Adele's heart thing and some tight layers around the photo à la Suse.
The hearts are from a scrap paper but the layers, stamps and confetti pocket is from Felicity Jane. I just love that the kits comes with "finishing details". The small things to finish off a page.
I do love my black, it really helps to add contrast and interest to a page. Here I have used some foam thinkers from Amy Tangerine "Grace" , love that they come not just with words but with some cute details like hearts and swirly thingis.
My love for my Traveler's notebook keeps going strong. I have started making an insert per month. I love how this works out and that I have a book per month. I still do project life weekly but I have to have my "day books". I these books (now monthly) I have one page/day and there I write what I have done, to do lists and some time just journaling from that day.
For my august book I wanted to use my Felicity Jane kits and I love how it turned out!
On each page I stamp the "details of today" stamp from the "Next Stop" stamp set, then the date with a roller stamp, here I have the Heidi Swapp one. In the right corner I stamp the day and in the left I just doodle the weather. (By the way it's raining big time here today!)
I'm so happy with how it turned out! The book is about a centimeter too short (I had used this striped paper on an other project but really wanted to use it here) but I don't care. Love the flowers and the wood frame and I'm just really happy with it! (can you tell?)
I had so much fun making this page from Midsommar. Starting with watercoloring a flower reef and then adding photos, pretty papers and journaling. I took inspiration from the photos and actually started the page on the same day as I took these selfies. I wanted a page that really said; Midsommar!
The Felicity Jane -note to self kit is really growing on me and the more I use it the more I like it. the colors and patterns fitted perfectly as did the stamp set.
