Halloween tag, digital layouts and then some....

Hi again!
Let me show you some of the things I´been up to lately. First of all since it´s a new month there´s been a new Scrap Pack release over at Scrap Stacks and did I love this or what:

With loving it I´m not referring to that my layout with made the preview cover but the fact that I love the collection of kits and templates this time.

Here are the layouts I´ve made so far with the goodies:

The lovely Mari Koegelenberg also made some new releases this week and I still think you can grab it for a special price right now:

...aaaand my layout:

To top it all today I´ll show my Halloween-tag that I made yesterday for today´s blog post over at Pysseldags. So I went from this:

....to this:

It feels like ages since I used my distress ink pads, not to mention how long it´s been since I colored stamped motifs. The bats and the Halloween word collage stamps are from Pysseldags and the girl is from Magnolia (a real oldie). To tell you the truth I´m not that a big fan of Magnolia´s stamps but I got some since I ran a scrapbook shop. I colored her with ProMarkers and then I used the Antique Linen distress ink pad to make it look the pumpkin glows.

It was really FUN to work with the distresses and to use my ProMarkers again so there will be more of that stuff in the future. 

Beside all this crafting I made buns yesterday for the Cinnamon Bun Day here in Sweden - who doesn´t love buns??

Then I just HAVE to share that I totally love the new Project Life app by Becky Higgins! Especially when I combine it with Rhonna Farrer´s wonderful app it really makes scrapping on the phone possible. I just made this about our little date night yesterday:

So if you don´t have it I strongly recommend it to you. Now - I have an iPhone so I have absolutely no idea if there is one for the androids out there.

Have a wonderful day! 

Ett litet kort.....A little card

Det är nog fler än jag som känner att det är skönt att ta en liten paus nu från julkorten och som ni förstår kommer det "vanligt" kort idag...

Jag har gått loss med mina distresser i olika gröna och rosa nyanser och här har ni slutresultatet:

Grunden är ett vanligt vitt cardstockark som jag har gått över i omgångar med distresserna och ink blending tool. Därefter stämplade jag olika swirls och motiv med Moss Green. Slutligen gjorde jag alla kanterna mörkare med Vintage Photo.

Tagsen har fått lite ruffiga kanter och är dekorerade med pärlband. En brun brad håller ihop dom.

Dessutom fick jag med några av de nya blommorna från Reprint som är superläckra!

Yesterday I blogged over at Reprint with this little card. I really had loads of fun playing with all kinds of green and pink distress inks to make the background. I also added some stamping in dark green. I assembled two tags with a brad and decorated with pearl ribbons, lace and flowers.

Everything I used for making this card comes from Reprint.

Tags, tags...and more tags

Yesterday I blogged for Reprint and this time it was specified what they expected. I got tags and three different stamps that I had to create something with. So I went for some of my fav things like distress inks+ embossing folders and fired away... Now brace yourself since I´m gonna post ALL of the little tags:

You can find all the details HERE!

This month I swore that I would´t by ANY new scrapbooking stuff, but you can guess how long I managed to keep that promise - not more than a day or two! LOL! The thing that got me to go for it was a SMASH book + date stamp and washitape from K&Company. I´m so glad that I did since I just LOVE it! 

Here´s what I´ve done so far:

The only problem now is that I want them all...So if anyone wonder what to give me- now you know....;D I also got my eyes set on all the little things that you can add to this....

Peace & Love everyone!

Weekend update

Hi guys!
Seems like I got stuck in a routine with updating this blog once a week and I DON´T like it myself....I must get better on updating!

At least I blogged for Reprint on Wednesday. I went all crazy with my distress inks and created this little card:

Looking at this now it´s hard to believe that I started out with white card stock, water color paper and this patterned paper from Reprint:

The lovely stamp is also from Reprint, but I know it´s been discontinued so you´re lucky to get your hands on it...

Please check my blogpost HERE for full credits.

I squeezed in some digital scrapping time too and managed to make these:

I used some amazing kits from Mari Koegelenberg + Traci Reed and Laitha´s Designs:

That´s it for now - hope to be back here SOON!
