Scrap a la fraise, consigné 19

This is my page for scrap a la fraises consigné 19. We should use an envelope, flowers and different brads.
I made this page to honour my mother. We always try to hide away and get the last evening sun as we chat about everything during the summer holidays. I adore the colour of the barn - a typical house colour in Sweden. It is called "faluröd".

I used my new foamstamps with acrylics and some masking tape aswell.

At studio L3< the CCC #21 is to make a perfect distress according to Tim Holtz' book " Compendium of curiosities" page 38.

I did my tag using Rangers forest moss, bundled sage, black sot and faded jeans.
The perfect pearls used are blue patina and gold.
The stamps are from Tim Holtz' "purely random" and "take flights".
It was hard shooting the photo because of the perfect pearls, but I suppose I will not be the only one with that problem this week...

Thank you for stopping by!
Wish you all a great and creative week!

week 2 at art, heart & healing

This is the first spread of my altered book for the workshop art heart& healing.
I had problems making the transfers as I always used to much glue. This is the best one and even if it's not good, I had to stop myself and just use it...
The journaling is in swedish and now I really like it. I think I am getting a little more brave now - trying new techniques to find my own style...

The page is about what we would wish for ourselves.

(... frosty winterdays with crispy snow, lovely holidays, freedom, love, friendship, long walks in the autumn forest, happiness, family, health...)

a bird for scrappy accents

I just love birds right now - in Wiesbaden last week I ended up buying not less than 4 birdstamps... and at scrappy accents the theme the next 2 weeks is BIRDS. I didn't use my stamps at all - instead I made a bird out of callico, ghesso and wire and stamped it with letters and a paperartsy swirl.
Great fun!

Flowers - just for fun.

Had some fun in the basement yesterday - making feltflowers. Sooo easy to do and sooo expensive to buy!

L3 industrial grunge

This is the card I made for studio L3 this week. As you can see on the picture below, I got the inspiration from the lovely autumn colours we enjoy right now.
I followed the instructions on p. 54 from Tim Holtz' book " a compendium of curiosities", and I really like that technique.

Happy fall to you all out there!

"Glass " for wednesdaystampers

Glass is the theme at the wednesdaystampers this week.
I made this card using stamps from B-line, Paperartsy and Fusion Art Stamps.
I hope you like my little Napoleon-bird with his new glasses.
Does anyone remember the name of his beloved lady?

Great fun!

consigné 18, gold for scrap a la fraise

Consigné 18 - gold.
This page is about time - time passes so quickly and suddenly your babies are almost grown-ups, ready to leave home.

Gold is normally not my colour, but I like it with the turqueoise.

consigné 17, scrap a la fraise

Consigné 17 for scrap a la fraise.
Only using recycled stuff.

week 1 at "art, heart & healing"

... well, well, well...
My very first attempt to make a face in colours. Exciting, that was!
Great fun to just let go and follow instructions.
The text is about me - I would like to get more courage, so I can say what I really think.
Check out this free workshop here.
Enjoy!

a pumpkin for scrappy accents

Following the season, Jaine at scrappy accents would like to see some pumpkins this week, and this is my contribution.
I just love the combination of blue and orange - it makes me happy!
Have a nice week!

Scrap a la fraise livre altere consigné 14

I'm getting there - only one more to do and I will have caught up with the other ladies. Consigné 14 should be a page with real tickets and grommets. I forgot the brads though. The page is made with tissuepaper and watercolours.
Picture is from our holidays in Australia 2008, as I thought the colours fit that continent...
