Layout "Life is full" - MTW Callenge

Hi everyone! I´m back blogging after a short summer break, and today I want to show you a layout inspired by the current challenge at More than Words (see challenge board in the bottom of this post).

I just love this picture of our sweet Alice when she was 2 years old. She look SO sweet and happy and full of joy. Since the inspiration word for the challenge was happy - picking this photo for the project was just a perfect match. 

The second part of the challenge was to follow a sketch. I pretty much have denied that I LOVE sketches this past year - this one really rocked my project. 

Instead of using two photos I decided to go with a stack of papers & a tag from AB Studio. I have had the "Rainbow Collection" in my stash for a while but never found a the perfect use for it - until now. Love how the playful & colorful style works here! The tag is from another collection though.

I created texture with a stencil (also AB Studio) and white crackle paste from Finnabair. I actually used a 12x12 cardboard sheet as my background instead of paper...

Small details hiding - the butterfly was stamped, embossed and fussy cut.

I hope you like my little project!

Layout "This is Me" - AB Studio Design Team

Happy Thursday sweet followers. Today I want to share a layout created for AB Studio with the brand new line "Take me There". I love the color palette in these papers SO much. 

I created this layout with myself in focus. Sometimes I just need to remind myself about who I am and what I stand for. And I love how the quote kicks me in the back telling me that I´m in charge of my life! 

Don´t you love the bird from the elements for cutting "xx"?

Artist Traiding Coins "Butterflies & Ladybugs" - 7 Dots Studio Brand Ambassador

This is my very first set of Artist Trading Coins and I have used the wonderful Garden Party Collection for it. I love the colours in this collection and I have been playing with the 6×6 papers and the clear stamp set that co-ordinates with the Collection.

I used the “Born” paper for these two cards. After cutting the circles I added random stamping in two colours. Then stamped on the Butterfly and painted it with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists. I love to add the small half peals over sticker to create a 3 dimensional effect. 

For my other two cards I decided to fussy cut some of the flowers from the “Dreamy” paper. I used the same technique with random stamping on the background (this time the “Fairy Lights” paper) and I also stamped on a magpie that was colored. To create depth I used 3D squares to adhere the fussy cut flowers, and I love the result – don´t you?

Spring Tag - Woodouts Guest Designer

Spring is just around the corner and a spring tag togheter with a bunch of tulips is the perfect gift for someone you care about. I created this tag with the help of some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists & flower elements and a stencil from AB Studio.

I painted the Woodouts tag with white High Impact Paint and then added texture with the help of the AB Studio stencil & modeling paste. When dry I sprites water and started adding the different shades of Glimmer Mist. I LOVE that about Woodouts products - you can use as much water as you want without risking of distroying your surface.

You can see how the light catch the shimmer from the Glimmer Mists.

I added the flower elements to create depth and I just LOVE how this turned out. I even might skip my original plan to give it away and instead hang it on a nail in our hallway so it is the first thing I see when I come home from my job - happy thoughts is always welcome!

Layout "Sweet Together" - Cuts2luv Guest Designer

Today I´m here to show you my inspiration piece for the November Challenge at the Cuts2luv blog.  Boy did this colors get my creative mind going. They where not obvious together and that is one thing I like - a challenge! 

I decided to bring out papers from the Canvas Corp Collection "Compose Your Life" & "Bohemian Romance" designed by my dear friend Aga Baraniak. They play SO well with the metallic flair I picked out from Guest Design pack. 

Watercolors was one of the elements in the moodboard, and what better than using Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists as watercolors? Since they are water based it works a treat. I picked up the bottle that had the same purple tone as the badge and started to play. 

The picture of my daughter & her older cousin is so sweet - I found the right badge for it!

Art Journal "Select Simple" - AB Studio Design Team

Hi creative souls! Today I want to share my latest project for AB Studio - a Art Journal spread using the lovely new paper collections & stamps!

I have used Vintage Elements paper from where I cut out the arrows & the sentiments.

I stained the arrows and the sentiments to tie in with the rest of the page.

I love the Mixed Media stamp set 4. The flowers are SO delicate and usable. I stamped, painted and cut a few out before adding to the page. The scribble stamp (stamp no 70) is just my type of stamp! I love the grungy messy feel it crates.

Unique Bond {video} - Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew

Did you know that Canvas Corp Brands has a monthly challenge? Well - they do - and the prize pack is always fab!!! This month is a bit different though - by entering you have a chance to become their December Guest Designer! You will find information about the challenge here. The moodboard for September look like this:

I have had this patterned paper from the Haunt It Collection for some time, but since I love it SO much I haven’t had the guts to use it until now. This picture of my daughter lying on an old quilt is just perfect for this paper! The colors in the quilt match the colors in the paper.

Different Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists add an extra boost of color to the page. Strips of paper from “Orange Patchwork on White”from the new collection Christmas Miscellanies layered with burlap strips and Tattered Angels Lace trimming add dimension to the page.

The chipboard was painted with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze. Some random embellishments from my desk finish off the page nicely. Please view the process video below to see how the page was made.
