Kallt i Montserrat

Allt om Scrap har en sommarutmaning med 

skissen du ser här nedan:

Allt om Scrap (un foro de scrap sueco) tiene un

reto de verano con la plantilla de arriba. Abajo

está mi interpretación con una foto de mi primera

visita al Montserrat este mes de mayo. Hacía frío!

He usado papeles de Bo Bunny, letras y flores que

he tenido entre mis materiales y brads de Basic 

Grey. El papel de fondo es amarillo pero hice 

un invento al pintarlo con gesso utilizando una 

esponja de lavar. Limpia por si acaso...  

Här kommer min tolkning! Fotot kommer från de

sågtandade bergen utanför Barcelona, och när 

jag var där i maj var det riktigt kyligt. 

Papper: Marrakesh från Bo Bunny.

Cardstocken under har jag duttat gesso på

med en ren disksvamp (ett experiment).

Brads och knapp: Basic Grey

Blommor och fjärilar: från gömmorna

Cute as a button

This card is on it's way to Dahlia; who

will give birth to a little girl any of these 

days now. I have used two of my favourite

ribbons from the Baby Ribbons from

Crafty Ribbons; Stripe pink and Cute as a

Button.

I'd like to participate in this challenge:

Krya på dig

Just a simple card to say "get well".

I have used paper-scraps and a

beautiful ribbon in the summerbreeze-

collection from Crafty Ribbons that

you can find HERE.

I like to put a matching flower right

on top of the knot sometimes, and

as you see I also like glitterglue...

I wish all of you a great summer,

I hope this wasn't all we were going

to get!!

Challenge at Crafty Ribbons

"CLEAN AND SIMPLE WITH RIBBON"

is the new theme for the challenge #52 

at Crafty Ribbons.

Here's my take; a simple card with only

an embossed rectangle of patterned scrap

paper and a ribbon with a bow!

Keep calm and sew on!

Anything goes with ribbon

Hej!

Ny utmaning på Crafty Ribbons Challenge Blog:

ANYTHING GOES WITH RIBBON

En liten "opkikkertje" är väl aldrig fel?

En liten uppmuntran alltså! Det finns

tydligen ett buljongmärke i Holland som

heter så här, så ett kort och lite soppa

till någon som är sjuk, kanske?

Bandet kommer från Crafty Ribbons.

Tagen kommer från Crate.

AMYLORYBCN: A beautiful photo

This is my second LO from the amazing weekend

event in The Glass Room in Barcelona that Kits de

Somni organized in May this year. Loredana made

us spray some paint on half of a plastic bag and with

the other half we cought some paint and put the bag

carefully on the cardstock to leave colour but not

handprints. And then some splash to add more fun

to it! She lent us stamps, Mr Huey's spray inks and

here's my result: A favourite photo!

Photo was taken in the beautiful park of tulips

called Keukenhof in the Netherlands. Little 

wooden birds are from Studio Calicó and the

wooden arrows from Sodalicious in Poland. 

Patterned papers from American Crafts.

AMYLORYBCN: First layout

In May, Kits de Somni in Catalunya organized

AMYLORYBCN - an event with two workshops

each with Amy Tangerine and Loredana Buca-

ria. Here's my first layout from the gorgeous

weekend in Barcelona: 

Not that this really was an "everyday kind of

day" because we were visiting a coppermine

this particular day of the picture, so it's a bit

of a joke... I did things I don't usually like; cut

a beautiful papperned paper into letter-size, 

paint over the pattern with gesso etc, but it 

was good therapy to start to try new things!

Mi primer LO del fin de semana AMYLORYBCN

que organizó Kits de Somni un fin de semana 

en este mayo que pasó. Loredana nos animó a

pintar sobre papeles estampados con gesso y

luego colorearlos más, tanto con el pincel como

haciéndo splash! con las gotas del tubito de 

las pinturas spray.

Los bordes están coloreados con pintura

acuarelas al igual que la que usamos para

cubrir el gesso. En el kit hubieron varias 

cositas más, como por ejemplo estos brads

brillosos y estrellitas de madera y clips.

En cuanto termine los proyectos también 

les mostraré los albumcitos que hicimos

con Amy Tangerine. Ya mandé a imprimir

las fotos ya que no tengo impresora propia.

Papers: American Crafts

Första kortet ...

Jag testar att göra ett inlägg med mobilen, så vi får se hur det blir. Har gjort flera kort med det lilla material jag har hemma hos mamma och här kommer det första:

I am making this post from my cellphone - and it's the first time so I have no idea how it will turn out. Anyway this is the first in a bunch of cards I made this week I have been at my mothers', made of scrap materials that I have bought here.

Scrap Our Stash sketch challenge

This is my last participation for

Scrap Our Stash! For now, at least.

The sketch looks like this, and

you are required to use only stash,

tag or journaling card and twine or

jute. See HERE for more. 

This is my take; only scraps from

Crate, on the papers there were some

tags/journalingtags that I cut out, 

I made some to write the journalling 

on behind the pictures, and twine 

in them. 

Sweden is beautiful in summertime!

Pictures are taken at Sundborn in 

Dalarna, a district north of the 

capital city in Sweden. Carl Larsson,

a famous artist (maily for his 

paintings) used to live here with 

his family. 

Thanks for visiting and I hope the

sketch will inspire you to scrap up

  some stash, too! See you!

Chocolate is the answer...
