Fabolous - Layout - Guest Designer - Our Mixed Media Moods

I'm so thrilled and over the moon happy about beeing a guest designer for the "Our Mixed Media Moods" facebook group. This group is hosted by the ever so talented DeeDee Catron, the owner of UmWow Studios and Designer of the most awesome 7Dots Studio Paper Collections and "Mixed Media Jenn" - Jenn Engle who has an amazing amount of followers on her youtube channel.

The way this works is that Jenn and DeeDee posts a new moodboard to get our creative juices flowing every month at the 20th. Their inspirational projects comes with a video tutorial. I've been so lucky to be working on the moodboard for february. Let's take a look at it. 

This is what I created with the moodboard: 

I kept to the color scheme using grey, black, teals browns.. This is such a fun photo. My good friend took this of me, her husband and mine when we where in Scotland.. All with our phones, ready to take some turist photos!

Since the "Our Mixed Media Moods" are based on tutorial videos I made one just for this project. Would you like to see how I made this layout? Please take a look at the video.

Just for fun I added the little plastic parts from an old Xbox 360. I also added some gorgeous star confetti from UmWow Studio. They are made of awesome quality. The stars are a direct inspiration from the moodboard. 

Our Mixed Media Moods are working with us ladies at Artists Live this month so please take a look at the other girl's tutorial videos:

Be inspired Layout - GDT 7 Dots Studio

So it's been fun to guest DT 7dots Studio this month and today I'm sharing my last post with a video tutorial. I made a layout this time as well playing with the "Lost and Found" collection witch is my favorite!

As you all know I love fuzzy cutting, so I fuzzy cut some images out from the Domestic Godess Collection and the Homegrown collection as well. The gorgeous rusty metal pieces are Finnabiar embellishments. 

I've used some modeling paste, stenciling, watercolor confections and stamping to create my background. Would you like to see my creative prosess on this layout please check out the video below.

I have to admit that the title stickers are perfect for any layout, card or project. I cherish all my title stickers. These are from the "Nature Walk" collection. The poppies are adorable. The stars are Finnabiar embellishements. 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. Would love to hear what you think :) 

Smile - Layout - Guest Designer 7dots Studio

Hello Lovelies! Today I have some great news to share! I've been so lucky to get to guest design for 7dots Studio and I have my first project to share, a layout made with gorgeous 7dots Studio products.

Look at the pretty bagde?! I'm soo happy!! :) Now over to my project. 

I love this happy picture of my son Finnley. He is playing in my (then) brand new waste basket for my craft room. Yes, a girl needs some pink when there just boys in the house. The papers are Verano Azul blended in with some "Illumination" both from 7dots Studio.

I've actually played along with the "More than words Challenge" with this layout (my first time playing!!) and I've followed their awesome sketch this month and used the word "smile". I did a little painting with Ecoline's on my background.

I always do splashing on my layouts and of course I did some here as well. I also stamped with 7dots studio stamps form the "illumination" and "Thoughts keeper" sets. The flowers are Prima and wild orchid. The gorgeous chippie is from Blue Fern Studios witch I've embossed with white embossing powder.

One of my favorite 7dots Studio product is the word stickers. They work so well on everything!! So I had to add some to my layout. You can see some of the flowers I added, also string and splashing with some gesso and the ecolines. I've also used some modeling paste and a stencil to create some texture. (a bit hard to see, but you can spot it in the top right corner).

I'm joining in these challenges with my layout: 

• More than words Challenge - Smile & Sketch 
• Hobbygarasjen - Anything Goes Challenge
• Scrappelyst - Use Flowers Challenge
• Scrappegarsjen - Bingoboard (Stencil, gesso & embossing)
