Mini album " Memories of summer -15"

Another mini album. This one made with transparent acetate pages. This is from today`s workshop with mosaikscrappers. Jaine had prepared the kits and made a great job teaching us how to doodle and how to put everything together..

Interested in a kit ? Check out Jaines new webshop - Basementstudio...

Life can truly be full of surprises. Why don`t we just let life surprise us?

Post / postage for AJJ

The latest theme at Art Journal Journey is all about post / postage and this is my contribution  - a collage in my very favorite colours!

This journal page is created with Dina Wakley acrylics, a Magda stamp (Agatas parrot), a Tim Holtz stencil and a lot of collected postage items.

Love to you all!

feminine - masculine

Intense colours for an interesting theme - feminine / masculine.

Using stamps from Dina Wakley , KAISER scrapbook , de Stempelwinkel and Cherry pie art stamps, I made this page for the June challenge at Art journal Journey.

Have a nice weekend!

my new journal for our "Pilger" trip in Austria

Soon it is our turn to try something totally different - we will walk a part of the "Jakobsweg" in Tirol, Austria. We wanted to do something weird as both of us , Jaine and I, turn 50 this year.

Now the backpacks are ready, filled with everything we can carry and we start to get a little bit (just a little bit) nervous... and what happens? The rail strike in Germany stops us from getting to Innsbruck!!!

The question now is if we take the chance and go (or not). Maybe we will get stranded somewhere in Germany and then we will have to make the best out of the situation. Otherwise we can try and go through France and Switzerland... 

Who thought life would get this exciting in our age :-)???

AJJ - the sea

Another blue journal page for Art Journal Journey.  Just love the blue!

The cure for ANYTHING is salty water - sweat, tears ... or the sea!  Right now  - I prefer the sea!

(.. and I think I always will...!)

Happy may to you all!

Att leva i nu-et

En "gammal" kompis rekommenderade mig att läsa en relativt ny svensk bok. Som svensk, boende i utlandet är man benägen att sluka allt bara det kommer fraan hemlandet. Alltsaa fick jag lilla mamma att beställa boken aat mig - Lär dig leva av Mats och Susan Billmark.

Inspirerad av denna härliga bok kom jag aater igaang med pysslandet och aatstadkom denna" art journal page".

" Lev nu, inte sen..."


Another journal page for a sprinkle of imagination.

I used Dina Wakley heavy body acrylic paint and a stamp from Christy Tomlinson.

"Collect moments, not things..."

My journal page for april

Good to be back again!
Finally my "new" craft room is ready to be used  - I`ve moved upstairs since our youngest daughter wanted to have the whole basement for herself.
I`m quit happy with the result , but I will be the one sweating in the summertime while she can keep cool in her "land down under".

I made this journal page for a sprinkle of imagination using their products ( Stampotique stamp, Dina Wakley heavy body acrylics and stencils).

Using the words in one of my most beloved quotes;
 " Believe in your dreams, they are given to you for a reason",
 I thought that I could enter the April challenge at Art Journal Journey as well. Their theme is all about favorite quotes.

AND, I made the page with punched circles - this means that I can enter another challenge as well - the weekly Stampotique Designers Challenge .

So - one page for 3 challenges...

Hope you all like it!
