February Challenge at Kraft it up!

February is all about using stickers in a creative way. Its still plenty of time to join this months challenge here. The challenge goes like this:

This month I want to see some creative uses for sticker embellishments, now all of us have them, they can be epoxy, journaling, chipboard, fabric stickers, lettering or decorative borders the list goes on...



 

I had to think hard about this one, how I could use up some old stickers and change them because the colours and designs were really not maching anymore. I found some old Prima epoxy stickers and thought they would give my page a bit of fun shape and demention.

 

 

 

I took theese old stickers and covered them with two different kinds of washi tape, then I placed them across my page as a background. After doing that I went crazy with my paints and stamps.

 

 

As you can see I painted around and on the stickers and added a little bit of doodeling here and there.

 

 

 

I also added a cupple of banners with twine some wood veneers and thickers.

 

 

 

And the results became like this!

 

 

 

Thanks for looking :)

1. Kraft CS/PP
2. Mists/Paints/Inks - Any type of use is fine
3. 2 - 3 photos 4x6 or smaller
4. These colours - Blue/Red/Yellow & Black

I used a acrylic paste, Dylusions spray, paint, Deco Art Snow writer and different tapes on the background, and for the rest of the page, thickers, rubons, buttons, old metal trash, Tim Holtz metals, stickers and Dymo.
I just love the photos of my son here. We did rollerskating this summer and he just really had to go :)

The amazing trash pack birthday cake!

A little while ago, my son turned 8 years! Yeeey, hes getting so big so fast! He wanted me to bake his cake for his party with his classmates. (omg) I really cannot bake! The only cake I can make, and Im good at making that, is the oreocake, because  doesnt need to get baked in the oven. Well, my son is a simple boy, and to my horror he wanted just a simple chocolate cake. He really wished for a cake shaped like one of the trashies, but he knows my cooking skills so he said he didnt expect it. I really wanted to suprise him and decided to give it a try. I googeled trash pack cake, and found some amazing pieces of art. most of them I knew from the start was just to difficult. One of them seemed easy enough:

 

Ok, so its not an easy cake to make. But really, the baking part was the hardest, once the cake was made, it wasnt really all that hard to shape it into thish trashy truck. This is NOT the cake I made. I just copied the photo, and Im sorry, I dondt remember where so I cant link back to the owner of this cake. Anyway, my truck turned to be almost the same. Not perfect like this one, but goog enough. I got the same colors, the same shape, eyes were in place and all the small details. After I think 3-4 hours in the kitchen I was Quite satisfied with myself. I woke up the next morning, and wanted to show my boy his special cake....... IT WAS BROKEN!!! Oh yes, since it was my first one, I now know I made a huge mistake. The coating here is marzipan, and the one I made was TO THIN. The eyes and everything else I glued on fell off during the night.... I got so freaking angry and sad, and at that point I just wanted to throw the stupid thing in the trash. Then it hit me. He wants a cake that looks like the trash pack = trash packs are garbage = so he really wants a cake that looks like garbage. :D Well, lets just say that he got exacly what he wanted!!

 

 

I trashed the cake even more, stuffed it into his trash can, and put a candle and some trashies on top! You know, boys are really simple, even when their small, bacause everyone loved the cake! And the best part is, they didnt need to cut it or eat it from plates with a fork. My tragidy turned out just great after all! :)

 



Clean and simple for Kraft it up!

The november challenge at KIU is to make a layout clean and simple (minimalist).
Lets just say that I nailed the MINIMALIST-part! lol. I have made pages like this before, but its really not my favourite style. I feel like I have to put almost nothing on my page, and that can be really hard sometimes.
Anyway, I found a picture of me and my love thats really precious to me, (he hates being in front of the camera just as much as I do, so I dont have many pictures of us) and I sat quite a while trying to figure iut what to do with it. Finally I decided that I`ll basicly do nothing at all. I sprayed the background once, with dylusion ink, and added the light bulb from prima with the word "love" on it. And just to add a small detail to bring out the background colour i added the red heart as well.

I like this page, and when I look at it, I see nothing but true love. And theres nothing more to add to that.

 

 

 

Do you think its way to simple?



November 123 Challenge!

I came across This blog a few days ago, and I loved this months challenge, so I decided to give it a go! I think I have become a challenge-junkie! lol.

Anyway, this months challenge was:

 

COLOUR: PASTEL

WORD: SWEET

TECHNIQUE: use WIRE

 

 

 

The story behind my page is simple: I smoke and I wish I didnt. Its not that simple to quit, and I hate when people say that if you want to quit badly enough, you will. I have tried a cupple of times, but also started again. At least now Ive been able to cut down. I wish I can just stop one day.. So therefore the title: The bitter sweet taste!

 

I have used Vintage summer basics papers, from Maja Design, liquid pearl, gesso, distress crackle paint, flowers from Prima, Kort og godt and WOC, tags, coins,  metal from a soda can, overlays, buttons, felt star, homemade sticker, a heart made of wire, chipboard letters, metal bird from Tim Holtz, ribbons and button brads.

Side uten tittel

Denne siden her var egentlig et prøveprosjekt, inspirert av  Finnabair.  Jeg hadde veldig lyst til å prøve meg på å male over alt av stæsj, få en sånn møkkete industriell og alikevel søt feeling over det hele, men det gikk ikke helt sånn. Underveis fant jeg ut at det aller aller meste av stæsjetpasset jo sammen fargemessig, så jeg syns vel det ble ganske kult å bare male over deler av det. Så det ble ikke helt i samme gata som hennes sider dette her, men jeg hadde det supergøy mens jeg lagde denne, så jeg prøver meg nok igjen senere. Siden har ingen overskrift, for den ble bare laget for å prøve ut denne stilen, og bildet er fra den gangen jeg laget headeren til bloggen her :)
Har begynt på en AJ side, litt på samme måten, så jeg får legge ut bilde av den når den blir ferdig også.

På denne loen har jeg brukt et gammelt mønsterark fra Prima, boksider, tag fra olabukse, blomster fra WOC og kort og godt, chipboard diecuts, en del washitape (som etterhvert sluttet å syns) gamle blonder og ellers masse skrot. (gamle ødelagte smykker, penger, knapper, perler, sikkerhetsnåler og ødelagte kjeder. Lyspæren er forresten ikke prima, det er en reservepære til adventsstaken min.

 

 

 

Takk for titten :)



Frame it!

I found this white frame at my local craftstore, (Panduro) and I just had to try to make something to put on my wall. I dont usually make stuff to put around the house like this, but I think I will buy to more frames like this one. It almost fits a 12x12 layout and look georgeous.
