Diary

Hi peeps, 

I wanted to show you a diary I decorated for a young friend of us. 

She loves purple so purple it is...lol.

I found this beautiful image over at Penny Blossom, I thought it was perfect for this project. 

I kept it pretty clean and simple because it makes it more suited for daily use.

I used papers by Pion Design (flower frames), 

Flowers by Wild Orchid Crafts, Charms by Kreativ Hobby, Pen split by Tim Holtz/Ranger. Dies are Spellbinders – Large oval and Scalloped oval dies, Punch is an older one from stash, The alphabet used is an old one from my pink sqeeze days called Katie.

Stempler: Pennyblossoms –The image is called Time flies when I'm with you. 

Copics used: 

Skin: E25-23-21, R32, 

Hair: E49-57-47-43

Dress: V99-95-93-91

Butterflies: V91 Clock: E37-35-31

Shadow: W5-3-1-00.

I used stickles on some of the details.

The diary was in  Ett Trykk Magazine, june edition. 

Hope you like it, thanks for stopping by!

Wedding guest book/ Gjestebok til bryllup

Hi blogging friends. Hope you are doing well!

Here is a wedding book I made for our wedding guests to write a little message or good luck wishes at our wedding  last year. 

Denne boken lagde jeg til bryllupet vårt i fjor, boken ble lagt frem slik at alle gjestene kunne skrive en liten hilsen til bruddeparet. Veldig koselig å ha senere! 

I bought a notebook in vintage style to decorate.  I basically used the same embellishements on this as   I did on the placement cards.

Jeg kjøpte en ferdig notatbok i gammel stil, men den kan enkelt lages ved å binde sammen flere sider med ark, med en pappbit foran og bak. Boken dekkes med strie og svertes med distress ink, du kan gjerne stemple med noen tekststempler. Fest eylets i hullene og tre hyssing eller bånd gjennom og knyt. Lim på pynt. Jeg dekorerte i samme stil som bodrkortene.

Here are the table cards. Tutorial can be found HERE.

Her er bordkortene, jeg har laget en tutoral tidligere, den finner du  HER.

Papers are Maja Design, Sofiero collection, flowers are WOC, Key and clock charm and lace from the LLC store, Birdcage from Dusty Attic. The beutiful wedding sentiment is by Stempelglede. I also used Spellbinder Decorative Labels 28, Lifestyle crafts cirkeldiesg and lace cirle dies,  Memorybox heart die, Melissa Frances – garnish applique corners.
Boken var i Ett Trykk i juni 2014. 

 Here's a coulple of closeups:) Hope you like it!
Håper du liker den, vi har iallefall masse glede av boken. Morsomt å kikke på alle hilsnene vi fikk. Vi har også limt inn bilder, bordkort, kort, hilsner vi fikk til og med noen av talene og andre små minner fra den store dagen.  Ekte scrapbooking med andre ord:) 

Thanks for stopping by today, wishing you a creative day!

DT Ett Trykk: Daily Planner for 2014

Good morning peeps

Today I want to show you I made a planner for 2014 using an old book and some pretty design papers. We are having an advent calendar over at the Ett Trykk blog. Each day of december the DT girls are giving you inspiration using tutorials and sketches from this years magazines. We hope to inspire your christmas preparations. Here is a gift idea for you.

I have used a recycling- tutorial from the August edition of the magazine made by Camilla.

I removed the pages of a book and made it into a planner. I used some elastic ribbon and a Tim Holtz door nob as an opening mechanism. I covered the lace, letters and charm with liquitex gloss gel medium to make it stick when the planner goes in and out of the owners purse:) 

I decorated the inside with bazzill and design papers. I removed the front and back of a 2014 planner and attached it to the back cover of the book.

I used elastic ribbon and brads to make a place to stick pens and utilities for the planner. 

 Here is the back of the book. i was planning on making a pocket, but I ended up leaving the last page blank, showcasing the gorgeous papers. 

Materials used :

Maja Design - design papers, Vintage Autumn Basic collection

Bazzill - Kartong

Magnolia - Tilda Lace die

Ranger- Distress ink, Walnut stain

Tim Holtz - door nob

Unknown - lace, seambinding, brads and a charm

Basic Grey - Sticker letters

I also used a book, some elastic ribbon and a planner

You can find the tutorial in Ett Trykk Magazine 3/2014.

Please stop by the Ett Trykk blog to see our inspiration every day until christmas eve.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Wishing you a great week!

Live & Love crafts December Challenge

Hello dear followers and friends,

It's December 1st (already!!!) and we're starting the count down to Christmas at the LLC blog with our advent calender of inspiration and surprises every day until Christmas! 

We also have a new fun challenge for you this month.

Our theme is

Anything but a card! 

Please stop by the LLC blog for some beautiful vintage inspiration by the DT and our talented guest designers- and join in for a chance to win a £25 voucher to the LLC store!

Here's my creation. I decorated the front and back of a journal/calender book for 2013 as a Christmas gift for a friend!

I have used a Little Sweeties image from Pion Design, the papers are form the Maja Design Coffee collection, these are Havrerutor, Chocolate Coconut Squares. I also used

1905 from the Vintage Summer Basic collection.

The flowers are from Kort og Godt and WOC (roses),  The Pearls are Melissa Frances. I used plenty of lace and trim, these are the "Antique Cream" Lace Antique Belle, and the Vintage Scallop Lace Trim. I do love pins (!!!) and these are the Vintage Pearl Pin and the 

Berries Pins. The charms and corrugated cardboard are from my stash.

I cut a Magnolia Doohickey So wrapped Swirly diecut in sheet music, and I used a page from an old book . The Seam binding is the "Plum Sorbet" Seasonal Shabby Seam Binding from the LLC store. This gorgeous Round Vintage Photo Frame Pendant is filled with a dicut circle form the LLC seam binding cover !

This lovely ribbon is the "Oyster Cream"  Rhinestones Lace and the Large Metal Corner is painted with Tim Holtz crackle paint. These pins are Vintage Heart Pins and the swirl is cut from a Memorybox heart die. I have also used a Martha Stewart punch.

I think it turned out pretty nice. Hope you like it too!
