The June kit is ready for sale at Paper Niche. 

I have wanted to do a more masculine kit for a long time, and this month I finally did

It can still be used for other layouts (like my first one) but even that one has a little masculine touch 

  Here is my work with this kit, Sorry the pictures are not the best, I was kind of rushing and the projects are at the store so I can't get new pictures before I return from my little vacation

Love love love the Crafters Workshop mask in the kit

Flower tag swap

It has been a long time since the last post here, have to get better at this again... and find more time to create so I have something to post. 

We did another tag swap this month with the theme ''Flowers''

This is the tag I made for the swap

and here is all the GORGEOUS tags from the girls,

 Lyn, Liz, Lucy, Jean, Mindy and me

Some sports pages

Well sport is out and marching band and JROTC has taken over (no pages yet, but they will come)
Kind of missing the football and baseball fields.... OK.....  NEVER thought I would ever ever say that LOL..., anyway I found some ''old'' football pictures and it really got me in the mood to scrap again

Did this first page using the new company Trinity Paper Art's "Making The Team" papers and stickers

This page is a lift of the Norwegian scrapper Milla, She won the DT challenge at  Scrappeland  and in true tradition us DT girls lifted one of her LO's. I used papers from Teresa Collins, Thickers, Tim Holtz ribbon, and the star is from Teresa Collins. Here is Millas LO thanks a bunch for participating 

and here is mine

Playtime

So I had a little fun, do not know what it will become.... but I like it
and had fun

Global Hobby and Pan Pastels

 The Design Team at Scrappeland was so fortunate this month, we where sponsored by Global Hobby og kunst a wholesale company selling craft and hobby supplies to craft, hobby and scrapbook stores in Norway. 

Check out their blog here Din fantasi – fra hobby til kunst!

The products they sent us to play with was Pan Pastels, these chalks are just awesome, so smooth and easy to work with. There is around 80 colors, and lots of fun tools to go along with them

I did a canvas, where I used the Pan Pastels for the background and stamped on top stamps are by Donna Downey and Dyan Reaveley, I also added tape from Tim Holtz that I colored with Pan Pastels. I used Archival ink from Ranger

Here on this card I used the pan pastels for all the coloring after I stamped the images with ink from Memento, the stamps are from Heartfelt Creations, Dyan Reaveley and Stamping up. 

Here is an article Renate has written in Scrappeland about the company and the Pan Pastels(in Norwegian)

Bo Bunny Etcetera and Authentique

 Had so much fun cropping at the Paper Niche this weekend, it was the last crop before the store moves later this month. The new location is on the corner of SR84 (I595) and Pine Island
Between the socializing and the food I got 2 pages done, one using the new Bo Bunny papers Etcetera and the other one the new awesome Authentique line.
The next scrappy event for me will be 3 days in Orlando for SDV, are really looking forward to the trip and to spend a long weekend with lots of great friends... If I just could decide what to bring along to work on.....

''Summer Dreams''

Here is my full reveal of the September Paper Niche design kit ''Summer Dreams'' Had a great time playing with this kit especially the Creative Imagination paintable paper paper I used on this first layout

The book here is not included in the kit but are available as a die in the store, where we also have chipboard for sale. So are all the other chipboard shapes I have used on the book and on the page above. The book and the shapes in the book is from AccuCut, the dies used on the page above is from Tim Holtz

Little miss sunshine

A quick page made from different leftover pieces from Prima, American craft Thickers, BG ribbon, MM alphas and Zva. I have also used Chalkboard mist, Glimmer glaze, Copic marker (Y32), Tim Holtz stamp and Bazzill craft

Once upon a Springtime

Used the gorgeous papers from Graphic 45's ''Once upon a springtime'' line for this layout. The bling swirls is from Zva and the ribbon is from Websters pages. Lot's of inking, crackle painting and fuzzy cutting.
This will be a class at The Paper Niche in the end of September (Sept 30th I believe)

Have a wonderful week everyone =)

A very girly girly configuration box =)

 I wanted to make this box a little different (from all the ones I have started and not finished yet), so I mixed all the Tim Holtz stuff up with some Webster Pages, Prima, 7 Gypsy,  glitter and bling. Still plenty distessed but in a girly way...  I think I will give it a coat of Crackle paint too ...Love that crackle paint=)

Custom box

 Decorated this box for one of our store customers using lots of Crackle paint, Prima flowers and Zva pearls, the pictures does give it full justice. It went from being very shiny and white, to looking very antiqued, cream colored and distressed. The customer is using it in a wedding for well wishes instead of having a sign in book. Love that idea. I used Picked fence mixed with a little Antique linen and added a layer of  Rock candy on top (crackle paint colors) I also used Vintage photo distress ink
