I added water color, ink and mist to the background. Here are two close-ups:

Cinema

There is a new sketch up at Let's Get Sketchy today. I loved this sketch!

I used some adorable papers from Ella & Viv to create the arrows/triangles.

Under the photo I used some colored wire:

I also used some Micro Beads...

... and some Glass Beads:

Complemeting some old albums

I went through my albums to see what was missing. These four layouts are made to complement the layouts I have made over the years.

Thanks for looking! Take care!

Happy Estern!

I want to wish you all a Happy Estern by showing an Ester layout that I made just for fun.

Here are two close-ups:

And stamped on the background.

Home-grown strawberries

It's all about triangles at Let's Get Sketchy this week. In my interpretation I used the triangles as arrows.

I stamped some flowers on the background and decorated some of the arrows with Glass Beads. Here are two close-ups:

Skating on the lake

It is a new month and it is time for me to show my DT-layout for ARTastic. This month we have an inspiration piece made by Mia Taninaka. The criteria is to use wood veneer.

I used a wood veneer behind the photo that I broke into four pieces. I painted it with silver glitter acrylic paint. I also used some wood veneer arrows to highlight the photo.

Here is a close-up:

The rest of the team have made some awesome inspiration pieces. Please go here to have a look and to find out how to join the challenge.

Ball race

There's a new fun sketch up at Let's Get Sketchy today! Here is my interpretation:

Jungle hut

ARTastic has a cool challenge this month. I love the inspiration painting and I love the criteria - to use paint on your work. Here is my interpretation:

The painting inspired me to the jungle theme and to add acrylic paint with a spatel on my background. I have made the jungle hut shown on the photo to our daughter and both her and her friends love to play in it. It even has swings rope ladders and trapezes to her soft toys. :-)

Here are some close-ups:

Thanks for looking! Have a nice weekend!

Happy Valentines day!

Happy Valentines day! This is a layout that I made just for fun. It is a way to remember all the loving things that my daughter use to say to me. I made it very "Valentine-ish" with a lot of pink and red.

Here are two close-ups:

I wish you a wonderful Valentines Day!

Strike the pose

This layout is made for a challenge at scrapbook.com. The challenge is to use a sport photo and the twist is to use a heart or the word love. Here is my interpretation:

To match the papers on the right side of the photo - and to highlight the photo - I painted the black line to the left on the paper. I added some black Micro Beads on a small part of the line. The black hearts are chipboards colored with a black pen. I also added some grey water color and black splashes of mist on the background.

 Thanks for looking! Have a nice day!

New Years Eve

I had a lot of fun creating this DT layout for Let's Get sketchy!

The fireworks are made with acrylic paint on a mask. I used three different colors/shades on each firework. When adding them wet in wet they blend together. Before the paint dried I also added glitter in different colors. This makes the glitter dry in the paint without using any glue product.

To the left of the layout I splashed white watercolor, white and black mist. I also stamped with silver and gold. The shimmer "framing" the photos is made using brads, rhinestones stickers, sequins, Prima Glass Beads and Prima Micro Beads.
