Hello Cyprus - Mini Album DT Maya Road

Hello everyone! It's my turn today at the Maya Road blog and I would like to show you a Mini Album I made for CHA. The CHA convention is happening right now and I feel so lucky to have made some pieces for the display at the Maya Road booth.

My first share is this mini album I made with some of the highlights of our vacation this summer to Cyprus!

I've used some of the new products coming out this CHA with the Tassles and the heart dies and the embroidery hoops and buttons. The Papers are from an older Heidi Swapp collection.

One of the pages inside the album. I've used the new mini blossom resins and buttons. The "love" word is a awesome dies. I've also used some curragated tags and string. Everything is Maya Road :)

Another of the some of the pages. I've used on of the fantastic new number pins. I really really like them. Also used on of their new tulle flowers. The "mine" word is a dies. All my boys <3 nbsp="" p="">

Here I've used one of the new scallop frame dies and cut it in half. Also added one of the word dies and a cool star button.

The album I've used is actually an Maya Road. They are fantastic to alter and they are made out of thick cardboard.

I hope  you like my post today! Thank you so much for stopping by. :) 

Canvas Video Tutorial for the Flying Unicorns

Today is a good day. Well.. sort of.. It's my birthday and I'm getting WAY to old.. Hahaha.. I do have a video tutorial to share today. Made this for the Flying Unicorn using the lovely January KOM.. I do believe there's still kits avaliable, so grab your kits while you can before the sell out. You can find the January kits here.

I've used the mixed media kit, the add on flower kit and some bits and pieces from the two others. And here are the finished canvas.

I used a black canvas, misted with paints from 13@rts and added embellishments from Prima. All found in the kit. 

If you'd like to see how I made my Canvas please take a look at my video below. 

A Close up of my white brushing, and some of the details with the microbeads, glass beads and glass glitter. You can also see some of the stencil details in the background. 

I have to say I'm quite happy with my canvas and I hope you liked my tutorial. 

Would absolutly love a comment on my canvas! Thank you so much for stopping by me today!

Happy, Moments, Captured - DT Scrapberry's

It's my day over at the Scrapberry's blog, and I have made a layout I'd like to share with you. It's not often I get to snap som photo's of my oldest son, so these photos are precious to me.

I've used the one of the new collections from Scrapberry's  - "Photo Archive". These papers are awesome and I love the vintage feel.

When I made my tag I should a couple of days ago, I had a cut a little piece of paper out of 3 new sheets of paper. So I thought I would put them together to make one page. I glued them together. I stamped a bit with different background stamps and splashed with white dylusions picket fence mist.

I used embellishements from different collection like the automobile collection. and Wind of travel.

The beautiful button is from the "Holiday Romance" collection. I also added some gems. 

If you'd like to see more  projects with Scrapberry's embellishements and papers. Please head on over to the Scrapberry's blog. Thank you so much for your visit! 

Made with Love Tag - Scrapberry's Challenge

In the first of the month it's always loads of new challenges and loads of post, today I'd like to share with you the new challenge at Scrapberry's.

This months challenge is to make a tag. You can make the size you'd like but you do have to use at least 50% Scrapberry's product. :) I've used a fairly new collection called Photo Archive. 

I added loads of embellishements, papers and clustered it on my tag. All the papers are from the same collection. The large center flower and the cork clock is Scrapberry's. The same goes for the pretty Lily flower and the pearls. I used a dies and die-cutted into some of the papers form the collection. 

I splashed loads of Dylusions White Linen spray on top with a brush. And dry brushed th flowers with gesso.

Hope you got inspired to join in the challenge as well. You can find all the details you need here, including inspiration from the other designteam members.

Thank you so much your visit today! :)

Altered Bottle - Flying Unicorn January KOM

I had the best of times creating for the Flying Unicorn January Kit. I want to show you an Altered Bottle I made with the Mixed-Media Kit and Add-on Flower Kit. 

Let's take a look at the kit I used: 

Flower add - on :)

Mixed Media Kit

and here is  my bottle: 

I've also used some bits and pieces from the Main Kit. Painted my bottle with white gesso at first. Added texture with the stencil in the kit and modeling paste. Covered with gesso again and glued on a piece of old curtain and wire string. 

I misted with the mists in the kit from 13@rts - Chalk Dirty Pink, Pastel Dirty Pink, Pastel Black and Chalk Grey. After finishing making the texture of the bottle the way I liked it, I glued on the embellishements I liked. 

I dry brushed gesso on top of the flowers and added micro beads in silver and pink coloured flakes also from 13@rts. I think I got those in a previous kit. 

The word is a 13@rts Chipboard and I have to say.. I utterly love them.. They are large enough to fit on a scrapbook page, and actually quite durable. Awesome addition to the Main Kit. 

I hope you enjoyed my little bottle. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I would love a comment and I will comment back.
