Sailing

This is what I'm doing right now...

...since you must have noticed that I'm not blogging at the moment. ;)

See you soon! :)

Midsummer

This weekend has been a special weekend in Sweden...

...we have been celebrating midsummer...

... and this is kind of how we do it. :)

Motivation

You might have noticed that there isn't much activity on the blog at the moment...

... the reason is that I put a lot of my spare time on training right now, working out at the gym. And it is sooo much fun!!! :)

Say Hi! to my Personal Trainer - Mikael Sjölin. He's the best! :)

And this is the guy how made the motivation video - a link.

Lip dup proposal

This is how I would like to be proposed to...

... try not to cry watching this... It really makes you happy! :)

CASE

I just got the biggest compliment! :)

My friend Meri did a CASE (Copy And Steal Everything) of one of my layouts. :D And I think it's sooo cute!

This is my layout, created from a sketch by Sodalicious.

 

Meri was the teacher of my first scrapbook workshops, and she is adorable... and now she was inspired by little me. Thanks! :)

This is a photo of the two of us, when we are heading home after a day at the big Scrap and Pearl Event at Annexet this Marsh.

Happy! :)

Towels

Two cute guys and two towels...

... I'm not complaining! ;)

Tough Viking

This is what I did two weeks ago...

... ran an obstacle race over 7 km through mud, ice cold water, over several big containers.... and through 10000 volt.

It was an incredible adrenalin rush and sooo much fun! :)

Hard Easter

It has been a lovely warm summer day in Sweden today. And I really enjoyed it! :)

This is a layout with a photo from Easter celebration.  I had seen this type of egg painting on the internet, and I wanted to give it a try myself. I really like how it turned out. :) The eggs got different personality. :)

This layout is created inspired by Sodalicious sketch #5. I turned the sketch 90 degrees to the right because I think that it suited my photo better.

I started the background, on a Sodalicious pattern paper, by smearing gesso on a part of it. Before the gesso was completely dry I added texture in it with a lid. When it was dry - I dripped alcohol inks over the part with the gesso, and I also did some splashes with a gold mist from Heidi Swapp and a black one from Dylusions.

For some reason the title got really long... but I solved that by having one part of the title in Thickers and the other handwritten.

A close up of the background, where you can see the texture that I created in the wet gesso with a hair spray lid. I like that it is subtle , but yet it's there. :)

And I do love the splashes! :)

Added some paper circles, as seen in the sketch, to enhance the focal point to be on the photo. Did some scribbling around them as well. :)

This is the first version of this layout with the same photo, based on another Sodalicious sketch. But I wasn't pleased with it, so I tore away the photo and papers and started over on the same background paper.

Now I'm pleased. :)
