Bachelorette party

I was at a bachelorette party last Saturday. It was a really fun day, and the bride-to-be was happy. :)

First we tried a new kind of activity for me - Casting with concrete. :) We used leafs from rhubarbs.... 

.... and ice cube trays, to cast in or on. 

It was really messy, and so much fun! :) 

We had the bachelorette party in the south of Sweden, so we need to wait till the wedding to see the result. Can't wait! :

Robin o Tre Kronor

This video, that I'm showing you today, is pure love!

 

Sorry for the video being so shaky. This was the one I found on youtube...

Love for music, Eurovision Song Contest, our competitor Robin Stjernberg and his song "You", Ice Hockey and the World Champions, our Swedish hockey team "Tre Kronor". Love this! :)

This clip is from this monday,  when the World Champions in Ice Hockey was celebrated by the Swedish people in the heart of Stockholm.

Doodling

I did some doodling at work yesterday. A couple of worms, or something. :)

It is a technique I learned from a video on YouTube. There is so much inspiration to find at that great place. I tried it with watercolors as well, that I showed you here.

Next week I will show you when I played with this technique and neocolors. :) 

The Big Bang Theory

I love flash mobs! I think they are so fun! :)

Bazinga!!! :)

Exhausted

Here is an Art Journal that I created for the technical challenge over at the Swedish inspirational blog - SweScrap, a couple of weeks ago. The challenge was to use hexagons as the main thing on your Art Journal/layout.

The hexagon is kind of a new geometrical shape in the scrapbook world, and it has grown on me. I like it! :)

Look at all the layers on this. I love that! :)

The quote is from one of the Dylusions stamps, that I borrowed. Doesn't she look kind of bored? The girl and the rest of the cut outs are from a paper pad from Websters page, I think... 

I doodled some hexagones through a TCW mask. As this shape has grown on me, I have just started to love this mask. :) But mainly I use it for doodling instead of misting. I doodled with a black and and a white pen.

I found a wasi tape with a kind of old fashioned feeling to it, that I put on my page, and a wasi tape with notes on as well. 

The background for this page, is one that I did a long time ago. The technique didn't work as it should, and I didn't know what was wrong. But now I have learned some more, and I should have put gesso on the page first. I like how it turned out, anyway. 

This is the tutorial that inspired me to do this background, but as I said... It didn't work as it should. And the colors didn't end up as bright as the should do. I might need to try this again.:)

But the funny thing is, that even though the mists in the background is so colored out/bleached out. There is still enough color left to make the modeling paste pick it up and turn green. Those Dylusions mist is funny. :)

Scraplifted

Today on the Swedish inspirational blog, SweScrap, a card I made is being lifted. That means that one of the DT members will be inspired by my card and then make their own version of it. So honored. :)

Here's my card. It is happy card, cute and I used some Sassafras papers (that I love) on it. It's a birthday card for a one year old.

And Nilla, made a really cute card inspired by my card. And she also used a Sassafras paper in the background. Love it! :)

Dancing Nana

You will never be to old for dancing, feeling the rhythm and that you just can't stand still. :)

Isn't this sooo cute?

And here's another one. :)

This is how I want to be when I'm a grandmother. Hope you enjoyed it! :)

A shoe

I've found the perfect present for one of my girlfriends. :) A really beautiful shoe for keeping your jewelery on. She loooves shoes, in all styles and colors. Last year she got cufflinks in the shape of high-heel dress shoes, from another friend, and I knew that she would love this too. :) 

But there was a ugly fake glass diamond attached to it. :/

My thought was "I can make that look better" and so I ripped it off. :)

And here's the new look I gave it. Better?

I added some cheese cloth, a flower with a home made pebble, a couple of cute butterflies, some stickles and "beads on a straw".

Cute, right? :)
