DT prosjekt for Papirdesign:)

Jeg henger litt etter med å få alt jeg har lagt ut i min blogg. Jodda å få det ut i de andre bloggene men ja ja sånn går nu dagan hehe!
Her er en LO og et kort for PD, DIGGER sååå rått de nye kolleksjonene fra Papirdesign. Line overgår seg selv som alltid♥ Just love love love Papirdesigns beautiful products and the patterned paper is so gorgeous!! Soft green, with white tekst and the wonderful butterflies. It fits the topic, my hubby has always made my tummy fill up with the feeling of butterflies♥

Det er en sånn nydelig dus grønnfarge i selve mønsterarket og med hvit skrift. Virkelig flott:) De oransje blomstene er silkepapir som jeg har mistet oransj. For så å stemple med PD blomsterstempler og klippet ut. Liker så godt det delikate uttrykket de gir. Ordet sommer og ordet kjærlighet er også PD stempel. Stjernene er også PD stemple vel det meste på denne er PD såklart:)) Mannen min ser oransj ut i ansiktet her men det er pga midnatt sola som traff så fint ansiktet hans, mens vi ruslet tur på stranden i Sverige. The orange flowers are made by using tissuepaper, which I sprayed with glimmermist then stamped with PD stamps and cut out. I like the soft delicate expression when layered like this. The saying is Summer memories and under the picture it says: The love of my life. My hubby has an orange face because the midnight sun shines up his face. It was taken while we were taking a strole on a beach in Sweeden.

The background behind the title is from some packaging from Prima. I always have loved their designs. It is incredible to se such detailed packaging. Its like an extra little gift following the products♥

Here I have stamped the frame with the star on a transparency. And painted the star with Glimmer Glaze.

Also used some Sticky back canvas, with some paint and molding paste and Mod Podge skimmer.

 Here is more a detailed look of the soft flowers.

On this tag I have used Gel Medium to transfer one of the PD patterned papers on the tag, also stamped the edges with PD stamp. The button I found in my old vintage box of buttons. I got it from my mom who got it from my granddad. What a gift. They are very precious to me♥ 

Og her er kortet, brunt og rosa sammen er jammen meg nydelig altså!! Here is also a card made by PD products. Look at the gorgeous brown color with alot of detail in it. The soft pink fits just perfectly♥

I seriously need to stack up on cards. I am so far behind and must usually tend to making a card the same day or the night before. That is ok sometimes, but not all the time lol!

Thanks for stopping by♥

I love Finnabair♥♥ AJ very inspired by her♥

Finnabair is an incredible artist, I so love the energy and vibrancy in her work. I just had to try out creating a page with her expression of colors and techniques. It was sooooo fun, but not as easy as someone might think. Here we talk about alot of layers of colors, even letting some of them almost turn to mud to get the real grunge effect. But Finnabair is the master and I now even more love her work. She is in her on amazing league and it was an honor to try to understand her work through my own pages♥ I really hope one day I will be able to attend one of her classes♥

 I went a little far with grunging, but hey thats how I learn. From my mistakes♥ Its a great gift really:) Finnabair always has a kind of calmness in her pages, a focus point and a harmony... I did not "get" that, but this is HER style. So I must say it is ok, we all have our own unique expression♥ So the most important lesson is be yourself, but it is ok to try on other expressions. Thats a good way to understand someone else...

 I will never give up hoping and dreaming for peace, and harmony in the world.....

 The flowers are Tim Holtz, and I kinda melted them a little. I just had no restrictions or a careful touch, tried to be bold and open for a new experience...

 Alooot of layers lol, awsome fun!

I am so happy for my new AJ book, now I have a few books lol. So I always have an on going project, love it!!

Have a nice sunday everyone♥

Mod Podge is alright♥

 I have used Mod Podge before but did not know what I was doing back then lol. So when TreL wanted me to do a review of the new Mod Podge Brush strokes, I was eager to experiment. 

Jeg har skrevet en lang bloggpost i Trel sin blogg, hvis noen har lyst å lese:) Formen er litt svingende så da blir jeg litt tom for ord hehe. Men det står mer enn nok i bloggen til TreL ;)) Men her er bildene fra AJen jeg ble selv veldig fornøyd med og en tag. Tags er bare brilliant altså, kan brukes til så mye ♥

This AJ is about lifes whispers. I heard Oprah refer to it as whispers but when we dont listen, it can become bricks or a brick wall. But I drew it a little further. By seeing it as gifts in life. Not as an obstacle or a problem. Thats why the bricks are sparkeling ♥ The brick wall that almost falls over, is symbolism for when we dont listen, we get more profound "hints/help" lol.

 Har du hørt om ScrapDots? Det er flytende gluedots, men så mye mer solid når det tørker. Denne sommerfuglen er da limt oppå masse medium. Men jeg kan love den sommerfuglen er trygg der og blir ikke herpet heller fordi limet er å genialt. Skal lage en bloggpost om dette hos TreL veldig snart:) Jeg så om dette produktet inne hos Donna Downey og hun anbefalte det så hjertelig. Nå forstår jeg hvorfor. TreL har det inne og jeg DIGGER det!! Here I am just saying that I LOVE ScrapDots. Have you tried it? It is an amazing liquid glue dots. When it dries it is so strong and solid, but still flexible. Awsoome, and it adheres almost to anything imaginable!!

 Mod Podge Brush strokes blir ikke som molding paste men mere som en heavy gel medium. Men må si man får mye for pengene for en stor beholder med mod podge. Brilliant medium rett og slett. Glitter/skimmeret dere ser er en top coat fra Mod Podge som heter Skimmer. GENIALT!! DET blir brukt flere ganger altså!! All den sorthvite teksten er printet ut på sticky back canvas. Snart fri her, kriiise MÅ ha sticky back i hus til enhver tid! Ny bestilling til Trel snart ja♥

 Har og brukt endel gamle rubons, får aldri nok av rubons. Og jeg er overlykkelig at det ser ut som det er på tur "tilbake" igjen. Da med tanke på i farger og et større utvalg. Det gleder en rubonsglad sjel som meg:) The black and white lettering, is from a font I found on the internet and then printed out on Sticky Back Canvas. I truly hope Ranger never discontinues Sticky Back, I always have to have it in my stash! I truly love it, and use it alot♥ I also used some old rubons sheets I had laying around. Love my rubons too!!

 Det at murveggen på en måte faller ned slik, er symbolikk i. Det var fra noe jeg hørte Oprah si hvor hun siterte noen andre. Om dette med å oppfatte tegn man får gjennom livet. Som en form for tilbakemelding og som muligheter. Hun snakket om at "livet" først hvisker til en, og hører man da ikke etter så får man en murstein i hodet. Hører man fortsatt ikke etter, går man i en murvegg eller i verste fall raser murveggen over en. Jeg tok videre den symbolikken med å se "mursteinene" som muligheter og gaver. Ikke noe man skal kjempe imot men heller være åpen for. Derfor glitrende mursteiner. HEHE er så dyp for tiden, sånn blir det når man leser og mediterer mye:P

 Den stemplede pip pippen er fra Prima, så søøøt!!

Good Luck tag:

 Myyye Prima på denne tagsen også såklart hehe. Og herlige micaflakes, mod podge som jeg brukte til overføring av mønsterarket på tagens bakgrunn. Det må jeg si Mod Podge er genialt til overføring!! Here is a tag with alot of Prima products going on, loove Prima for ever and ever♥ Also I used Mod Podge as a gel medium to transfer Prima patterned paper to my tag. It worked very very good!

 Må si jeg og digger disse halv bling sakene fra Prima som er kommet. Spesielt de som er litt røffe i stilen som disse brune:))

 Det var en til AJ side men det får bli til en annen gang. Nå skal horisontalen intas, før vinterferieuken starter her hjemme i morgen. Håper alle får en flott uke♥ That was all folks, have a good week everyone. Here the kids or off for their winter break. So its gonna be alot of quality time with my sweet daughter. She has already asked if we can paint in our art journals. Offcourse we will, that is a special time. Creative time with mye daughter, these moment I truly live for♥ Best wishes from me to you all♥

Vakreste lille skatt - Designerbidrag PD Herman og Emilie

Det var superduper koselig å få scrappe babybilder igjen. Mitt skjønne tantebarn Margone Emilie♥ Passet veldig bra da å bruke Papirdesign serien Herman og Emilie hihi! De supersøte rosa arkene er varme og sarte. Langt fra for knæsje og har utrolig flotte detaljer i seg. Denne LOen er inspirert av Nabon's video og prosess. Så herlig å få jobbe med arkene på en sånn måte. Genialt var det♥

Her er hva jeg fikk kreert med serien så langt:

It was so wonderful to create a baby layout again♥ I have used the gorgeous products from Papirdesigns new collection: Herman og Emilie. This is my wonderful niese, look at that cutiepie. She is so adorable and her little tunge lol! I can never ever get enough of her sweetness♥ This layout is also inspired by Nabon . She is a magician when it comes to working with paper. She shared a video in her blog were she is scrapbooking. I was totally fasinated with her prosess. I just had to try out crumbling paper and just really giving them a workout. It was aaawsome, I will for sure do it again!!

 Ofcourse some detail cutting had to be done on this one to. Love detail work♥

 Flowers, swirls of pearls lace and paper details are from Papirdesign. Also the cute pink heart at the top♥

 The Maya angelou quote is from an old rub on stack I have. I bought about five og six years ago. I still love it dearly:) There is also a tag behind the picture with some sentiments about the accasion for taking this picture.

 The pink "lacy stuff" is recycled fruit packaging that my hubby asked if I could use. Yeayyy!

 I had to have some texture on this one too. I love my mediums lol! This is light molding paste combined with Crafters Workshop stencil. This to highlight the glimmermist and stencil which was the first layer.

More to share tomorrow, been alot of blogging the last few days. But hopefully this weekend there will be more creative time. I am really in a creative space right now. Got to roll with it while it is so vibrant and clear♥

Have a nice night everyone, hugs from Linn

AJ second places♥

I seriously need to dust off my blog. I have been pretty creative the last month,but getting it posted in my blog.... well seriously i forgot LOL. Been doing alot of Designer work, so all my attention has gone there:P

So this post I will just show some of the AJ's I have done for fun, even one I did in bed. My ME has been acting up really bad since november. But with good guidence from my doktor. I am very slowly getting my feet under me again. It is wonderful, but also hard. Because I am impatient. So much I want to do, but I have to pace myself. Not bite over more than I can chew sort of speak lol.

The three AJs I will show now, was all runner ups in three different challenges at Casakreativ.no. Sweet wonderful Camilla runs every month a challenge called CASA♥AJ's. Her challenges always hit home with me. I have had many aha moments thanks to her. Also Camilla and CASAkreativ's founder Ruffa had weekend challenges, it also was right on the nose for what I needed that weekend♥  It is pretty unique to get three runner up places. I NEVER get that far usually. So I did not get bummed out for comming second. But more fasinated that I got so many votes♥ I see it as a gift, my pages touches others. Im on to something *sigh*

The first one I want to show you,  is a page made for Ruffas challenge. It had to have alot of colors and hot weather ballon(s), also I think the prompt was about freedom:) This was what I got out of it♥

 

 Love my Inktense pencils, they are so vibrant in colors. First I used a stencil and some Goosebumps, before starting layering all the colors.

Offcourse I have to get some depth effekt lol. Love making pages almost 3D if I can. Proud to say I made my weatherballoon all by my selv, no clippings from a magazine. I am not that good of a drawer but I am working on it:) The "hinges" I made out of molding paste and some paint.

 Love Gandhi♥ Wise man thats for sure!

 To place the sign on top of the lace, I used ScrapDots. AMAZING product. I heard of it from a video with Donna Downey. I was so happy when TreL  got it in her shop. I love that you can glue it on almost anything and you have the choice on how dimensional you want it to be. Have not seen anything like this before!!
The next one, I still can't see why it got so far. Maybe the topic hit home? Technique vice it was NOT one of my better ones. But it meant alot to me. This is the one I made in bed, not in the best shape. I guess the page says it all, right?

Sorry for the small picture and bad quality. It was just snapped in a hurry. The page is made an regular printer paper!! This is really a small doodling book I have by my bed. But got my hubby to get my Lumiere paints, a couple of stamps. The tag is covered with washi tape, and some prima alfabet stickers.

The last one was alot of work with. Mainly because I bought the wrong stencil *sigh* I LOVE Crafters Workshop stencils. Well they have some tree stencils I so have waited for getting a hold of. Well there are to different ones. The positive and the negative part of the tree. I bought the one that makes the outline of the tree. But I wanted the one where I could use molding paste or some other goodies in it. The store I bought it from was sold out. So I found out, ok Linn. Just use the stencil you have got. And just cut out all the branches afterwords. When I get an idea I just cant stray from it lol. So I have with the help of my skalpell cut out all the brances on this page! Yes I KNOW I am nuts. The word no does not fit in my vocabulary hihihi! Ok enough rambling, here is the page.

 See all the branches, well I am truly pretty patient I guess. Listening to my Ebook and handcutting is kinda a perfect moment for me♥

I have even more to show you, but now blogger seems to have had enough. It is getting really slow and wont upload any more pictures. So I guess it is best to call it quits for now.
I will try to do better this year with my blog. I am truly not a stable blogger lol! But I will try my best!
Have a wonderful week everyone! Hugs from me to you!
