"Home Sweet Home"

I think that you all know by now that I am a big Live with prima fan and today´s project is inspired by Frank Garcia´s Tresors De La Mer class. I just love the idea of altered sea shells. So I took a small frame, painted it white, distressed it and went to town with my glue-gun.

 The roses are lavender pearl (you can see how to make them Here ) and the shells are painted with a white acrylic paint and then sprayed with blue and pink mists.

 Book-pages, tyll, lace, roses, shells and pearl = Shabby Chic. So to balance it out I took a metal piece and made the title in my dymo, this contrast will make more interest.

 The pearls are from Panduro and I took the white and the light pink ones. The tiny roses, I left the greens on just so that not everything is white and lilac.

 I just love how the shells turned out! I hope you all like it, and watch Live with Prima!

Wednesday Rain

The weather has gone back to the way it usually is... rainy. So sense it has been raining I thought I would take Britta inside so she could dry off and get nice and warm... No! She is so mad and every-time I get near her she stamps and lets me know; She does not want to be inside! So I guess she will go back to live outside... crazy bunny.
This ties is so well with today´s card witch has the theme: "Friendship"

Papers from MME- Lost & Found "Rosy" & "Sunshine"

 This time I just inked the edges of my white flowers with "vintage photo". And to keep on the gold track I took some magnolia gold pistils, metal leaf and some feathers. Well the feathers I took just because.

 I love this metal corners from Pyhobby the just fits on every project!

Beautiful Sweden

It´s my 19th year in this country called Sweden. This country has it all, the rain, the sun and the nature. It´s really amazing year round and November is not exemption. Even though I some times get sick of the rain or fear I´m going to freeze to an ice-cube, I love living here.

And right now it looks something like this...

My mom and I goes on this walks in our village with our cameras, she really is a geek ;)

If your inspiration isn´t flowing, this walks are perfect to get it going.

Layout: Sweet Home

You can fined the pad here

It´s fall and as Halloween is coming up so I have made a summer layout. That is clear logic don´t you think. Any way I have used my new favorite paper pad. It´s the Dear Jane stack from DCWV. So if you are like me and love Jane Austen and that time area, this stack is for you.



Now till the layout.










I took three papers, a brown with fabric like texture, one that looks like a window with burlap and roses in. And the background in a paper with allot of letters on.














To break up the layout I put down burlap and lace across the page. I fastened the burlap and lace with three brads on either side. My photo in in one of the windows and then on a mat of the brown paper.
















And now comes the fun things! Flowers and bling. Sens the photo is taken in the summer with the sun coming through I wanted to get that sort of magic feeling. The big pink rose is the flower from Monday and that helps to bring in the gold, together with the brads, leafs and bling. The burlap from the window I used for the title, My sweet HOME.

Unfortunately the last photo does not show the color really truly, but I hope you can get an idea.
