The upcoming USA Tour!

Hi everyone!

Please see below for more details for the upcoming USA tour! ;O)

There are a few more stores that need to be added to this list once they are confirmed.

Here are sneak peeks of my classes for the tour;

Each student will have the opportunity to borrow one tool set from my BRAND NEW tool line "ComfortCraft Tools" during my classes to do fun techniques!

Hope to see you in one of my classes in July! ;O)

Candy Boxes

Hi everyone.

How are you all doing? I am totally swamped now, so much to get done before CHA and the upcoming USA-tour which I am really looking forward to! ;O)

Today I wish to share some works I did for the Prima Inspiration book last year. Two altered boxes with candy, and first up is a "Love Candy Box" filled with red gel hearts; 

This is an empty Prima box which used to have those old BIG flowers inside. I covered the top and the bottom with Prima Paintable cardstock which I decided to leave clean in black and white. The black angels and circles with text on clear is pattern from an old Prima overlay which I cut out and mounted to the clear on the box. I filled the "heart-themed" box with red gel hearts.

On the top lid I decorated with a wide vintage bow and Prima flowers, and the title is chipboard letters standing in melted wax (melt some drops of wax on the project and quickly add the chipboard letters before the wax gets cold. Drip wax for one letter at the time, set in the letter, then drip wax for the next letter and so on..).

And a close up showing a vintage lace and a Prima chipboard with rub-on words which I added on.

I also made a altered wooden box from Prima (old) which used to have chipboard, ribbons and buttons inside, which I filled with chocolate! :D *love chocolate*

I do not have any good pics of this project, and unfortunately it was damaged during transport, so i have not been able to take new shots either. Anyway, here is a (bad) peek of it;

I totally LOVE the chocolates which was inside of it for a tiny bit... ;O) lol.

And a close-up showing the stamped butterfly on a clear I cut out and added on the top of the large Prima flower.

Thank you each one of you for dropping by, and I wish you all a wonderful and creative weekend!

"Chocolate Face"

Hi everyone. 

Today I'm gonna share another layout I did for the Prima book last year. It is a layout where I used a black and white photo of my daughter where she is eating chocolate and has chocolate all over her face. I used a white Prima paintable cardstock (with black print) where I mainly added only chocolate brown to try to bring up the more of the "chocolate-feel" since the photo is in black and white, and added only a few hints of other colors (reddish and green)  on the rest of the layout. 

I called the layout "Chocolate Face", and here it is;

 I adore photos as this one of my daughter, the small magical moments of our children, special childhood moments captured for ever.

And a short note; On the right side of my blog here I will put up ads for where I will teach within the next 12 months, and lots of them are already up and many more will come! ;O) So if you wish to attend one of my classes, please look at the right side here in my blog for all upcoming classes within the next 12 months. There will also be some blog posts soon ;O)

Wish you all a great and creative day!

Shabby Chic layout - Pure Beauty

Happy Monday (or Sunday for some) dear blog readers!
Did you all have a great weekend? I am still busy planning the USA-tour, all the classes and get everything ready to CHA. I'm so excited, and each week are passing so quickly and I can't believe it's only about an month left to I jump on the plane! Can't wait to meet some of you and to see USA for the very first time, wahoo! :D

Today I wish to share a layout I created last year for the Prima book. It is a shabby chic layout with a picture of my daughter where she is taking a bath, a picture I truly love. And this time I used pinks together with the black and white photo, colors I usually don't use, but I think those colors were perfect for this photo and this romantic and shabby chic style. I used a Prima stitched paper, cut off the rose border on left and placed it on a cardstock. Then added lace over the rose border and between the rest of the stitched paper before adding it on. Then embellished after desire with roses, stamps, note book paper, metals and so on. This layout I called "Pure Beauty", and here it is;

And a some close-ups;

My "special" girl, love these tabs from Melissa Frances. Also melted some white wax on, so fun little detail to add to every kind of project. Some lace and mulberry roses peaking out on the left.

I used a huge old Prima flowers (which I love) as a base for the little title metal frame and label. On the flower I used different stamping and painting techniques to add texture and a personal touch.

Some shabby chic embellish like Prima mulberry roses, vintage lace and metals.

This was all for today, but I hope you did enjoy your visit. I appreciate you dropped by, and I wish you a wonderful week! Hope it will be a creative one! ;O)
