"Cocoa Cuddles" w/ BoBunny Snowfall

Hello there!

I'm back after having my bf here visiting me from Austria. We've had wonderful days (even though I had to work a little); On the 2nd of November my friends had planned a surprice party for me (my birthday is in September, haha). That was a big surprice, but then they brought in my bf and I was soooo shocked. He wasn't coming for another two days! I am so happy that they organized all that for me and that almost everyone could be there.

Even better was that we were all dressed up (since it was the weekend of Halloween) so now I can finally scrap some Halloween-layouts of my own! :)

Since my bf comes from and lives in Austria, we can't see each other that often and I won't be able to visit him for his birthday I thought I'd give him a few gifts now. Here's the first one (that he begged for :P)

Title says "Cocoa Cuddles" and is cut with my Silhouette. I was totally inspired by Nicole Nowosad over at Jillibean Soup, when she made the chevron background. I've used several papers, back and front, from BoBunny's Snofall collection.

This piece of wood is distressed and then embossed with clear embossingpowder. I've tied three diffrent yarns along the layout.

A little bit of everything here and there.

I also used the leftover pieces as decorations/for quick journaling.

Take me to the Beach - layout

Hello hello!

Fall is here and it's beautiful, but I have a christmas/summer layout to share. The pictures are from our Christmas holiday last year when we went to Teneriffe, Spain. It's called "beach" and the whole text says "Take me to the beach, waves at my feet, wind in my hair, sand on my toes, sun on my face" (a little something I found on Pinterest). 

To create the stencil I used a big circle stencil from Crafters Workshop and simply traced the circles and cut everything by hand. It was however very timeconsuming, so I probably won't do this again. I've also used a 6"x6" paper pad from American Crafts "Dear Lizzy 5th & Frolic" along with white cardstock and gold glitter Thickers.

With my Silhouette I cut out the banners with the text.

The photos fit perfectly in the circles since they were taken with my phone; small and low resolution.

Have a nice friday!

Silhouette Cupcake Card - "Grattis"/"Happy birthday"

Hello Monday!

This weekend was a bit stressful and full of celebrations. I already showed you the card I made for the first celebration. This card was for my cousins youngest son who turned 20! He tought it was store bought - really nice comment! :)

The Crate Paper blog had a challange/theme a while ago called "Navy blue and sequins", I've used that as my inspiration for this card. Blue and gold go really well together and it's one of my favourite combos. So gold dotted vellum paper from Crate Paper + silhouette cupcake free cut file = birthday card.

The numbers are Thickers - doesn't it just look delicious?! :P

"Herr & Fru" with My Mind's Eye "All is bright"

Good day!

Today I want to show that themed collections like the "All is bright" collection from MME also works with not only summer photos, but also with wedding photos. My best friend got married last year and I had gotten the honour of taking the official wedding photos (YAY!). My Silhouette go to do some work here as well, I cut out the & in white cardstock with it. After that I adhered washi tape to it and cut off the access.

The title says "Herr & Fru" ("Husband & Wife"). As a little cluster I used some decorations from both MME, Teresa Collins and some things from my own stash.

I think these to just speaks for it selfes. :) 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a nice Sunday!

"Life Captured" & "10+1=elva"

Hello there!

I've got more layouts to share! The first one is created using a sketch from Silhouette. Instead of two stripes at the bottom I used another cut file from Silhouette, a wave. All the papers are My Mind's Eye; Miss Caroline and background paper is from the All is bright collection.

Quite a simple layout, but still cute. I've put some cut out hearts in the waves and painted the edges with pink acrylic paint.

The title says "Life Captured" and the photo is of my nieces last Christmas at Teneriffe, Spain. We went to a water park - which was so much fun.

On my second layout I tried to use mostly squares and create a grid. It's about my oldest niece who turned 11 this year. The title says "10+1=elva (eleven)".  The papers are from BoBunny's Vicki B. collection.

I still haven't written anything yet. I'm bad at that, especially when I don't really know what to write. 

For the title I've used four different types of Thickers. The big pink flower is created with pink washi tape and purple/pink ribbon and a big pearl from Prima.

"When comes the baby?" chart & "Celebrate" layout

Good evening!

For one of my best friends I arranged a baby shower and one of the activities was to guess when the baby would come. This is what I created: Everyone got to put some gold acrylic color on their thumb and put their mark on the day that they thought the baby was gonna come and write their name.

I marked the due date extra with green loose glitter. 

All I needed was a white cardstock (12"x12"), number stamps, a ruler and gold color.

The title says "When comes the baby?" 

 And here's another layout about my birthday from last year. I celebrated with three of my friends and we had an awesome time!

I cut out a bunch of stars, which I've layered, with my Silhouette in glitter cardstock. (The picture is not doing the purple stars justice, though.) Purple paper is from an Swedish or Norweigen creator and the overlay is from Hambly. The title is going to be "Celebrate", I was (am) just lazy with this one as I haven't made up my mind how it should be yet...

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Reflecting (7 Dots Studio) - the day before the big day!

Hello hello hellooo!

Today is the day before the big day - my 25th birthday! :D 

Anyway, what can you use washi tape for (other than scrapbooking)? I decorated my Silhouette Cameo with this multi-color zick-zack tape. The result was a bit psychedelic, haha! But I really like it, and since it's easy to peel off I can just change it when I feel like it.

When I was in Austria visiting my boyfriend he surpriced me with a big birthday gift: to go paragliding! I've done it twice before and find it awesome and so sweet of him. I created a layout with photos of me a few hours after where I'm reflecting over the day.

For this layout I played with papers from 7 Dots Studio - Messy Head. LOVE LOVE LOVE this collection! Awesome colors and glitter/gold fits really good as well. 

A new product that I also LOVE is the 5-pack enamel/embossing powder that you melt from underneath; I used it all over my layout along with the sunburst. I also stamped and sprayed with Glimmer Mist.

On this one you can see a bit of the paper that I hand stitched and embossed with clear powder.

The journal tag turned out a bit messy, but I like that, cause the journaling is just for me.

Have a nice day!

Adore - My Mind's Eye

Hello!

Today I'm sharing an My Mind's Eye layout paired with flowers from Prima and my stash along with some hearts like the ones I used for my previous layout. 

For the title I used glitter golden thickers and some washi tape behind. 

My Silhouette got to work some here as well: I cut out the pin wheel and the border with it. 

Thanks for stopping by!

"Come, give me a kiss" - My Mind's Eye

Hello!

All of us have their favorite manufactors when it comes to paper. One of mine is My Mind's Eye. Here I created a layout with photos of my sister and her husband when we all went to Teneriffa over Christmas 2012. 

With my Silhouette I cut out a bunch of small hearts in different sizes and put them on top of each other. Some of them i also put glitter on. I almost always save my scraps, and this time I found a way to use the part from the cut outs. 

Here's also a little cut out shape with lots of hearts - super cute!

You are my sunshine - Silhouette phrase

Hello!

Really gonna try to show my creations a bit more often since I don't have an online gallery (yet). This layout is created with the BoBunny line Alora, just the "sunshine" is My Mind's Eye paper which also cut out using a phrase from a Silhouette cut file.

The picture is of my youngest niece on midsummers day a few years ago, here in Sweden.

I kept the layout simple with just a few decorations since the papers are quite busy. I also chalked the edges with the same pink as the papers.

Pinterest DIY Baby Shower

Hello there!

Just wanted to show some DIY-projects that I've seen on Pinterest and tried to do myself. I think they turned out pretty good. I organized a baby shower for one of my best friends and made these little things:

 The first one was to make baby onesies look like cupcakes with a sock in the middle. For this one I recommend small sizes on the onesies. Mine were different sizes, so some worked well and others didn't. But the recipient was happy - and I was too! :)

The next thing I created was these lips with pacifiers (inspired by all the mustaches out there). Pretty cute, I think. For this I used my Silhouette SD and drew the lips and circles. Pretty sure there are pre-made shapes for this, but I didn't have enough money on the Silhouette account :P For the pacifiers, I used the same paper as the invitations.

And a close-up:

Thanks for stopping by! :) Have a nice weekend!
