Rambo- layout

Good Evening to you all!
(well it´s really more like night...) Today I have been at my aunts summerhouse with my little brother. I really like it there with the pool and bad internet. She has worked so hard re-doing the little house and now it´s coming together so prettily!

So that is when I´m sitting in bed at night writhing this and uploading a *new video*.

But you want to see the layout that I made with Christmas papers! and here it is:

 I really wanted a soft shabby chic layout with more black contrast (like the washi-tape and dymo label) I did get a bit frustrated when the distress ink started to bleed out on the big spots...

 But over all I like it, is not very denominational and not so many embellishments, but maybe that is the reason why

Rambo was my Valentin last year: 14 February 2013

Dare to swim...- Layout

Hello!
I have another layout today that I made at the same time as the "Let Them Eat Cake" with the same paper from the "All That Is Spring" paper pad.

 On this layout I dived in to my flower-box and added allot of pink pearls

 All of the flowers are washed with white gesso

 "Dare to swim away from the safe shore"

Let Them Eat Cake- layout

Good morning!
Today I have a layout from my cuisines 7th birthday.
The layout is made only with papers and cut-outs from "All That Is Spring" and some hot pink twain.

 And a doily, but everything else is from the collection.

 I wanted to add some demention in this very flat layout so I tore the paper and then sawed it together.

The title came from this photo that I edited in the Rhonna Design App  I´m so in love with that app! I never buy apps but after seeing it everywhere and longing for it for moth I bought it, and I´m so happy that I did!

The shabby chic Cottage

 Here is my latest project: The Cottage!



Let´s get right to it: I started with this wood-scraps that I took from my dad. This are really thin and I could just break them up.










Then it´s just to start gluing... I wanted a long- thin house and then I put two pieces at the bottom and one on the back- so I can glue flowers in it later.













When the house is put together I painted it in white gesso. Then on the house I painted with crackle medium and the roof is pearl-paint mixed with distress inks. After 4 hours I could paint the rest of the house (the crackle medium needs to rest for about 4h) with a light dove-blue color.






But I couldn´t leave the roof for long so I put on pearled-micas and white glitter. Than over the door I put a metal corner.












And just like that: The house is finished! I took an old paint brush that had an accident with glitter-glue... and now it´s a flagpole with a blinged-out flag.

 The clockhead is from Maya Road that I jus put some pearls and stones on.

 A fence made out of flower-sticks and string.

 The chain is arranged in a pocket-watch fashion. And the house is surrounded with flowers and Prima bling swirls. All the flowers are brushed with Chrystal stickels.

 Here are my shabby chic Cottage:

Pion mini album

New video!


If you follow me on instagram you know I have been working on a mini album with Pion Design´s new paper line: "My Precious Daughter" . This collection is so perfect, first of all it has my absolute favorite colors and flower! Seconded, they just think of it all, having 12*12, 6*6*, and ATC sizes.


For this project I got the 6*6 papers and the Memory Notes.
The 6*6 are perfect for making mini albums, as you can see here the papers are 12*12 with 4 6*6. Some of them are simple, patterned, framed or has cut-outs.

The 4*6 I used for pockets and journaling-spots/ photomats.
The 4*3 I used for tags, journaling-spots and I made 2 doubble sided by cutting them as a 6*4 and then fold them in half.



Now here are ALLOT of photos of the mini album:

I´m so in love with this mini and if you want to see how it all came together; check out this video

 Flowers, book flowers, pearls, buttons and a pin

 I used "Dove craft"- candy flos on the cheery flowers and "vintage photo" on the book page roses

"Lady" -Layout

This week I have had a really good crafting week. I´m so happy that I made so many good cards! But today is it a layout that I wanted to shear:

You know that I have tried to challenge myself this week but so I just wanted to make something... Julia. So I made this LO around Britta that looks like a super model with wind in her hair. 

 I just took Panduro- Tilda papers, doily, book-pages, doily and washi tape and put it over each other.

 I wanted some floral but still keep that rough feel so I took this metal flour.

 All the edges is distressed with my new Prima distressing tool! Love it so much, really like the steal brush on the the photo

I Hope you like it, and to see you soon :)

Love Julia

"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!

Love Julia
