Julrea hos Pyssloteket, mm...

Nu är jag julledig....! Det är nästan läskigt hur skönt det känns! Den här mörka hösten har känts tung och vi är verkligen i behov av lite ledigt nu, hela familjen.

Jag tänkte tipsa om att Pyssloteket har rea på alla julsaker nu! Det finns annat i reakategorin också - titta gärna in och shoppa lite, för jag ska nämligen vara med och inventera i butiken snart och ju mer ni handlar, desto mindre att räkna... =) 

Här är ett exempel på vad man kan pyssla ihop med material från butiken... :) För en utförlig lista över material se Pysslotekets blogg. 

Den som är sugen på att testa att göra en "kladdig" layout av det här slaget kan komma till Pyssloteket och gå kurs! Den 15 februari är det dags och mer info hittar du här. 

Här är också ytterligare ett par julkort som jag knåpat ihop, också med material från Pyssloteket.

Christmas cards!



It's not too late... there is still time to put together some simple Christmas cards! :) I used Spellbinder's dies, Distress Paint Brushed Pewter, the super cute wood veneer stars, my sewing machine and some messy thread for this simple card! The supplies can be found at Pyssloteket.

 

For my second card I used Liquitex Ceramic Stucco, Distress Stain and Glimmer Glam for my background, and some more messy thread together with die cut stars and the Brushed Pewter Distress Paint. I also sprinkled some clear UTEE (ultra thick embossing enamel) over the stars and melted the enamel with my heat gun.

I think the matte Black Soot Distress Paint on top of the Brushed Pewter paint looks really cool on my next card, but I am not sure who would be a suitable recipient for this card. :)

I sprinkled Chalkboard Glimmer Mist Chalk over my background on this card.

 

Sketch challenge - Allt om Scrap

I am very happy and proud to be a guest designer for Allt om Scrap this month! The sketch challenge runs until Dec 4th, so there's still plenty of time to play along. Go see the sketch and check out all the fab layouts made by the team!

Here's my layout:

A monster...

...came visiting last week! :) Of course I had to scrap him and I made this for Pyssloteket. I used Glimmer Glam, Distress Paint, Glimmer Mist and Dylusions Spray Ink before die cutting the circles. For a complete list of supplies, visit Pyssloteket's blog.

Freedom

Here's a canvas that I created for the European Scrap Battle. I used lots of acrylic paint but also pen, string, gel medium, fabric, ribbons, mist, Glimmer Glam, alcohol ink... The black spots are embossing powder, black UTEE.

 

 

Ölands raukar...

We had a wonderful vacation in the middle of August and this is one of the many photos I took when visiting a special place along the coast of the island where we were staying, where the softer species of rocks have eroded, while the harder ones are left, creating sort of a labyrinth of stone formations.

All the supplies I used are available at Pyssloteket. I splattered some Glimmer Glam over my background and used beautiful papers from My Mind's Eye. See the full list of supplies in the Pyssloteket blog.

Kurs hos Pyssloteket

Jag kommer att hålla en kurs hos Pyssloteket, lördag 28 september, klockan 12-15. Mer information och info om hur du anmäler dig hittar du här! Det ska bli så kul!

I'll be teaching a mini album class at Pyssloteket, on September 28. I'm really looking forward to it! Info (in Swedish) can be found here.

Linus, my fabulous Linus...

I've created this layout for Pyssloteket, using a stencil and a pen, Glimmer Glam and Glimmer Glaze.

 

 

Tattered Angels Love...

Yay, I finally found the time to write a blog post! :)

I've created this small canvas for Tattered Angels. For the background I used gesso together with a stencil from Crafter's Workshop. I then covered it with the white Chalkboard Glimmer Mist Chalk. When the chalkboard was dry I dripped and splattered Glimmer Mist Party Pink on top.

The hearts were cut from a 12x12 canvas sheet from Canvas Corp. I painted them with some gesso and then covered them with Glimmer Glam Chandelier.

The chipboard wings were painted with gesso and covered with Glimmer Glaze Icicle.

 

In this second image you can see a glimpse of what the Glimmer Glam does to the canvas hearts... on the top of the hearts... do you see the sparkle? :)

 

I hope you're having a fun and relaxing weekend!

Splattering Glam...

Happy new year to all of you! I hope 2013 will be a fabulous year!

Today I'm sharing a layout that I've created for Tattered Angels. I've been splattering some Glimmer Glam to create the background - so much fun! :) I used the colours Caspian sea, Macadamia and Organic Garden.

I just love the glam! :)

I used a stencil designed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer for the Cocoa Daisy Art Journal Every Day December kit, together with gesso, to add some texture to the tag. I then misted it with Glimmer Mist Key Lime Pie and Simply Sheer Teal.

And the house is empty...

We've had a full house for a few days and it's been wonderful but very intense. We've been eating a lot, playing games, laughing, chasing the small kids, eating again, opening presents, playing in the snow and then I think we also had some more food... :) Now when all the guests have left, I believe all five of us enjoy having some quiet time to ourselves. I have some scrapping on my schedule and I am very much looking forward to finally digging into the January Cocoa Daisy kit!

Have you been checking out the Creative Christmas Calendar over at the Paperliitin blog? Riikka invited a whole bunch of fabulous scrappers to contribute and I was so happy and honored to be asked to join in.

I created this layout using lots of Tattered Angels Glimmer mist and you can check out Riikka's blog for some step-by-step photos and some info about how I created my layout.

Green and blue...

...are two of my favourite colours... :) I created an Art Journaling page for Pyssloteket, using gesso, pencil, acrylic paint, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Glam and Glimmer Glaze, a stencil from Prima and some old chipboard letters... More info on the supplies can be found in the blog post for Pyssloteket.

I used a 12x12 patterened paper as a base and it was fun working big! I think art journaling in 12x12 will be a fab complement to my bound journals.

Painted background...

I created this layout for Tattered Angels, using one of my favourite techniques. I made the background using gesso, a stencil from Crafter's Workshop, acrylic paint and Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam. I covered the entire background with Glam and I LOVE the way it glitters and sparkles.

I used Glimmer Mist on the threads (Cupid), on the thickers (Sun Sisters) and on the flower (Aquamarine) and I painted the sun sticker with Glimmer Glaze.

I misted the rose ribbon with Chalkboard Glimmer Mist Polka Dot Pink.

Big heart and small heart...

I created a couple of hearts for Tattered Angels this month. I got a set of heart shaped cookie cutters and decided to alter them. I wrapped fabric strips around one of them and painted the other one with gesso and Glimmer Glam.

This was the largest heart and I used one of the smaller ones to trace a heart onto a piece of cardboard to hang in the middle. I attached the heart in the middle using thin sewing thread. The fabric wrapped heart was misted using Glimmer Mists Silver Sugar, Electric Blue, Iridescent Gold and Chalkboard Mist Chalk and the cardboard heart was painted with gesso and Glimmer Glam Caspian Sea and Calm Before The Storm.

I also misted the flowers, the flower ribbon and the lace for the hanging. The letter stickers (god jul means "merry christmas" by the way :) were painted with Glimmer Glam Icicle. Check out the Tattered Angels blog for more info and also some photos I took along the way.

I added a flower to the center of the smaller heart and used cord from Canvas Corp for the hanging. The Glimmer Glam I used is called Smooches.

Have a wonderful day...!!!

Kurs på Pyssloteket...

På lördag håller jag kurs på Pyssloteket! Det ska bli så skoj!

I'll be teaching at Pyssloteket (Stockholm) on Saturday! I'm really looking forward to the fun!

Wall hanging...

I created this wall hanging for my class during the Cocoa Daisy Crop. The full instructions and step-by-step photos are still available, on the Cocoa Daisy message board. I LOVED creating this project!

I used the Cocoa Daisy November kit + the Embellishmet pack, to complete my wall hanging. I also used lots of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and some Glimmer Glam.

My third project for the crop was made for Lisa's music inspired challenge (deadline is the 4th, there's still time to play!) The topic of the layout is how Tuva gets very excited when her siblings return home, after being out. :)
