Crescent Moon Dreamcatcher - Artists Live Ustream Show

Every month I'm up on the Artists Live Ustream Channel and I re-create a project in a Live free class. The show airs every monday at 20.00 CET. This time, I made a Crescent Moon Dreamcatcher using a whole range of Finnabair's mixed media projects.

Using an embroidery hop for my dreamcatcher circle and loads of ribbons, Sandra Evertson Relics to put together this 6" Dreamcatcher.

I used Finnabair's black gesso, white gesso, Soft matte gel, Art Stones and Mini Art Stones to make the insides of the dreamcatcher. Everything is colored with the Oil Pastels from Prima. Would you like to see who I made this, you can watch the recording of the show.

Remember this is just a recording of the show so there will be some interaction with the audience watching on the day it's recorded. 

I just love the Sandra Evertson Relics and Artifacts and have worked a bit with them these past months. I painted these with black gesso and added oil pastels to color and finished off with Viva Decor - Inka Gold - Old Silver. The ribbon is colored with Color Bloom - Deep Teal, Tea Stain and White Frost.

The moon is die-cutted out of the crescent moon and stars dies from Tim Holtz. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.. would love to hear what you think about my dreamcatcher. Have a great Valentine's Day! - Yasmin

Finnabair Weekend - Class Project Part 2

Back again today with another share from my classes with Finnabair - Anna Dabrowska at Bikuben the 11-13 of November. This class is actually the 3rd I took this weekend.. and this one was the one I wanted to go to the most and that was the "Heart of the Clock".. And I LOVED it.

The details on my clock is alot. Anna told me not to put so much flowers on it, because it would be a pain to paint later and that I would regret it.. but I don't. I even added extras.. The clock looks AMAZING. Oh yes, I'm quite happy with the way it looks.

Anna taught us fantastic techniques. We got to play with the gesso's, pastes and the acrylic paints and the opal magics. She teaches you step by step and everyone will get the project done. So over to my clock.. This is my class project from the "Heart of the Clock" class.

It took us quite along time to make this clock. The details are amazing on it and we used so much prima product and we got to play with the relics aswell.. I do adore the face in the flower cluster and the hand holding a rose is awesome aswell.

Isn't that an awesome detail with the Relics and Artifacts hand? I love that.. Didn't think I would.. but I do.. The Art Pebbels are so fun to work with aswell. 

The paint on the clock changes with the light but I painted with purples and golds. (Don't remember the colors.)

Thank you soo much for joining me today and I'd love to hear what you think of my clock!
I would like to stress out that this is Finnabair's designs and products and I learned so much! :)

Large Paintable Layout - DT Flying Unicorns

Oh my dear neglected blog... I've had such a busy couple of weeks. I have loads of projects to show you but no time to blog them. But today I'm up on the Flying Unicorn blog to and will share with you a Watercolor paintable layout made with the April kit.

I've used the supplies that came in the kit and addes some extra flowers. You can never get enough flowers or what? :)

This measures about 11"x14" (28cm x 36cm) and is a piece I got to frame and put on my wall at home. This are some the most special people in my life. My 3 babies and my gorgeous dog, Penny. I was orignally planning to put a family photo on this. BUT I didn't have any photo's that worked with all of us together. So have to snap some of those this summer. 

Here's the video tutorial for this large layout: 

I added title strips from 7dots Studio and loads of leftover alphas from American Crafts. Painted with watercolors and splash loads with Dylusions white linen. 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today and be sure to stop by the Flying Unicorn for more tutorials and awesome designs with the April Kit. 

Moments - Layout with Video Tutorial - DT Flying Unicorn

Hello Everyone, I'm up on the flying unicorn blog today with a layout and a video tutorial showing you how I made it, playing with the march kit of the month.

This kit time the kit is a bit different since it's just one kit including all the stuff you like. It's a bit of everything from the past 4 kits put into one. Let's take a look at the kit:

It's a gorgeous kit right? So much goodies.. here's the layout I made using these products: 

The layout is of me and my youngest son at the hospital when he was just a few weeks old. He was born too early so we had to stay in the hospital for a month after he was born. I've used papers from Studio75, and paints from Prima and 13@rts. 

Here's the video tutorial of the layout:

I've used papers from Studio75, Flowers from Prima and the hearts are made with Prima's adhesive rub-ons and gold foil on top. I also added some chipboards from Crafty Moly to my background. 

I've used different background techniques and stencil from 13arts. Chipboard word - "Moments" is also from 13arts.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Make sure to visit the Flying Unicorn forums for more inspiration and great shopping :)

Prima BAP March - Prima Eductator

Hi all! I have to say I'm so lucky to get to be a Prima Educator and in a couple of weeks I will teach my first Prima Classes as well. I'm up on the Prima Blog with a layout made after this months Prima Build-a-page Sketch. So honored!

Here's this months gorgeous sketch made by Riikka Kovasin: 

Here's my take on the sketch: 

I've played with LOADS of the new Prima stuff that's just come out to stores, The Papes are Vintage Emporium, and so is the flowers as well. I've used the new Finnabair Barn Stars (LOVE THEM) and used a Prima steel die to make a doily. 

Would you like to see how I made this? I did a tutorial video as well:

The background I've used two diffrent stencils, stamps and watercolor confections. The title is from 13@rts. Loads of micro beads and splashing with Color blooms. 

I have too laugh.. This photo of Finnley is priceless, he has stolen the powdered vanilla sugar and of course tasted it.  He is a little rascal always roaming through my kithen drawers. Thank God for ducktape! 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today, and make sure to stop by the Prima blog to join in the BAP challenge and see more inspiration! :)

A little bit of Magic Video Tutorial - DT SATW

As I shared in an earlier post about Scrap Around the World's September Challenge, I'm up with a video tutorial this month! And I finally can share this with you! :) A bit late but you have the end of today to join in the challenge.

Let's take a look at the moodboard

And this is my take on it

I enjoyed making this layout so much. I've used tea, mists, paints and embossingpowders on my layout, everything I love all at ones. I created loads of white space and made a lot of details on my cluster. Mica Flakes. microbeads and loads of flowers. This is my grandmother out strolling with her first baby, My Aunt. I do adore vintage images so much! :) My assignment was to do a video tutorial.

So here it is: 

The papers I've used is Graphic45 and flowers are Prima and Petaloo.. I've used chipboard pieces from 3rd Eye. They are so pretty, a shame you can't get them anymore. :( 

Thank you so much for joining me here today and I'd love to hear what you think :)

If you leave me a comment, I'll leave one back! :) 

Mamsen & Tjukkasen - DT layout Scrapberry's

Today it's my day over at the Scrapberry's blog and I'm a bit late with my post. This weekend I've been teaching at Trøndersaksa and when you have 40 students making 4 cards in 2 classes there's LOADS of kitting to do.. Today I'm a bit under the weather, buuut the work needs to be done! :)

This layout is quite different style from what I usally do.. but sometimes it's fun to just do something else. I've used papers from the Antique Shop collection. A lovely masquline collection. 

I've not really used loads of layers on this, I've cut some out from the collection and stamped with a stamp from Scrapberry's. I've used thickers to write my tittle added som chalk paint from Prima and some black splats here and there along with som white ones. The top hat is the cuutest thing also a Scrapberry's embellishment.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Be sure to visit the Scrapberry's blog! :) 

You - My first post for Scrapberry's

Hi everyone! :) Today is my first post for Scrapberry's. Soo excited! Made a layout with the lovely "Holiday Romance" collection. It has to be my favorite collection. Love it! :)

So I chose to scrap a photo of my middle son Collin sleeping on the beach in Spain. I think the Holiday Romance Collection is perfect for those beachy/sea photos.

So this is what I made for my first post, I used loads of embossing on my page. Frantage and powders. I painted the flowers with different chalk paint form Prima and added som feathers and a buttons.

The metallfeather I bought at korthobby.no and the canvas ones are Studio Calico I beleive. :)

Thank you so much for stopping by me today and I would really love to hear what you think. You leave me a comment and I'll leave one back :)
