Caviar Pearls

Last Friday we had a Christmas party at work. :)

I bought a fun new product for decorating my nails...

... tiny tiny beads. Also called Caviar Pearls.  

They are very shiny! :)

A motivation page

Today I wanted to show you a page of motivation for me. :)

In August I started a journey toward a more healthier life... and I need motivation to keep going.

I was already eating kind of healthy, but in August I started working out. And finally I started loosing weight. :D

On the background I have stamped with two of Nathalie Kalbach masks from Stencil Girl. Wouldn't that be a dream? - Designing your own masks?! :)

I used mists from Dylusion on the electric circuit mask, and Heidi Swapp gold mist on the crackle mask. You can see the gold on the pink on the top left part of the photo - it shimmers sooo cool.

 

To lighten up the page a bit, I added modeling paste over the crackle mask on top of everything.

The picture is from a training magazine, and I have actually dared to cut out another 5.... so let's see when I reach that goal.

Before I glued the girl down on my page, with mod podge, I added a thin layer with gesso over the mists so that the girl would stand out more.

Doesn't this close up just makes you sooo happy?! :)

Or maybe this one?! :) I love the colors! :)

And as a final photo - this is the page now when I have reached this goal! :) With the staring date and the date when I reached the goal. Happy happy! :)

Dear Santa

I've been good this year, Santa! :)

Here are a few things that I would like to see wrapped up under the Christmas tree:

 

Two completely different TV shows - Glee season 4 and True Blood season 5

Hot pink Converse or White - Low chucks! :)

Two books about mixed media... the one on the right is higher up on the wish list.

My small gratin dish cracked a couple of months ago... I need a new on. These ones from Gerbera is cute. I would prefer a turquoise one, but there are so many pretty colors on them so any one is fine.  

A ski rack for my new car would be lovely, since I don't want to keep my snowy skis inside the car after a day in the slops.

Since I have started working out a lot (and loosing weight), I need new training clothes. A fun new problem. :)

And some other ideas for me, Santa: Good books, DVDs (the Host, Beautiful Creatures, Les Miserables, Pricilla), skorts, electric toothbrush and a "plastic tray" for the trunk of my car...

... oh, and a date... ;)

MERRY CHRISTMAS! :)

All I want for Christmas

Hope you've had great weekend! :)

Here is another one of Christmas songs that the Glee cast has recorded. It's cute! :)

Glad andra advent till er alla!

Crop with the SWEScrapDT

A couple of weekends ago I was on a crop...

... with (half of) the amazing SweScrap Design Team.

It was so much fun, and the day was filled with laughter and creativity. :)

Hey, where did everyone go?!

Ah, it was time for lunch. Gerdas sandwitch - yummy! :)

Then back again to the craft table. I got a lot of things done, and we talked a lot as well.

Thanks for a lovely day, ladies! :)

Scrap-Perra Challenge

The December Challenge at Scrap-Perra is all about white. :)

I want you to create a monochromatic LO, Card, Art Journal or Alter - in WHITE! 

This is a sneak peak of my inspiration layout for this challenge. And as you can see, I think it is ok to use a little bit of black.

Please, upload your contribution to the forum before 2014-01-01.

Good Luck! :)

White Christmas

This December I'm letting Glee sing my Sunday Christmas songs:

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas!

Glad Första Advent Till Er Alla! :)
