Midsommar is one of our biggest traditions in Sweden right after Christmas and New year. Midsommar is really a celebrations of the sun and summer, living in the north that is truly worth celebrating!
We have out tradition for celebrating and as I have mentions before, I hardy ever scrapbook events. So I really made an effort and now I thinks it's fun and i wanted to scrapbook this big celebration we do every year, where we are and with who we are with.
I used the June Felicity Jane kit, I just love the flowers and the soft pink color. The background is a Heidi stencil of plus-signs and the gold modeling past so pretty!
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...
On Easter my mom, dad, my little brother & I set out to see the cranes dancing at Hornborgarsjön.
Every year thousands of cranes gather there before continuing on their journey north. It was amazing, so many of them, singing and dancing (well more like shouting and jumping around) but I thought it was unbelievable and breathtaking.
Now this was march 26 and still barely spring but I wanted to add some element to the page that said "it was amazing", something to pop against the dull colors of the photos. I thought the yellow flowers would be nice, flowers usually are positive and the yellow is a happy color.
I placed them to frame the photos and added a embossed title in white. All to keep the layout light and fresh, with focus on the photos.
I hope you have found this page inspiring and that you can make a big statement with just a piece of paper. I cut up an entire sheet and I still have many flowers left, yes it takes some time but to me it's so worth doing!
I'm using my stamps more and more sens I got the Alt E New "Vintage Roses" set. I love playing with these stamps, both on layout and on cards. A few days ago I made some cards using this stamp set and some clear embossing, I love how it turned out!
After stamping 3 flowers with 2 layers in pink dye inks and took the first stamp of each and stamped over in "versa mark" and I stamped in the same ink with the leaf stamp. Sprinkle clear embossing powder and heat set. The embossing protected the stamped flowers and the white leafs when I painted over with watercolors.
Gold Heidi Shine, washi and some stitching, those are my favorits!
The alpha stamp is called "Brentano" from Papier Projekt and they are the best!
