Paper Issues: Let's get Persnickety!

We have a new issue for you on the Paper Issues' blog! It's called "Let's get Persnickety!" and it is sponsored by Persnickety Prints. Go and check it out. Persnickety Prints is giving away a $25 gift certificate to one lucky winner. It could be you!

The issue is all about Instagram photos and fussy cutting. I love them both! This time, I wanted to create a card so I went for fussy cutting. I made this card using Lily Bee's June card sketch.

I made it for a friend and when my daughter saw it she said: "You must like your friend very much". I guess that means that she likes my card :-) And yes, she is right... I do like my friend very much!

I have used the Sweet Shoppe collection from Lily Bee. I've been longing to play with it! I cut the sun rays from a paper with mini chevron pattern. I thought of rays the second I saw it!

I also cut out strawberries from one of the papers. They are so cute! And they got even cuter carried by these little wood veneer birds!

Believe it or not, but I can't sew! I have no idea how to handle a sewing machine.. It kind of scares me! But I do love to see stitching on other people's projects. So I decided to cheat and use my Cameo and my Silhouette sketch pens to draw stitches ;-) I like how it turned out.

So, what are you waiting for? I am sure you have something that fits the team that you can share with us! Jump over to Paper Issues and link it up! I can't wait to see it!

Thanks for stopping by!

The Sweetest Laughter

If you are here for the October Afternoon Travel Girl blog hop, CLICK HERE.

I've been dying to play with The Pier collection from Crate Paper!!! I got tons of it from Paper Issues and yesterday I finally got a chance to cut the gorgeousness. I love, love, love it!

Love these photos of Adrian! You can almost hear him laugh... He has the sweetest laughter in the whole, wide world!

I was amazed when I opened the Pier ephemera pack. There are so many cute elements in it, making scrapbooking fast and easy. 

The sliding frames from this collection are so fun to work with! I am glad there are plenty of them in the package, cause they can be used in so many different ways. Love!

At the same time I bought this collection, I also got these cute little wooden flags from Basic Grey. They are simply adorable! Yep... after making this layout, I felt high of all the gorgeousness! LOL 

You can also get your The Pier from Paper Issues. All the embellishment went way too fast, but there is more coming in soon. Keep an eye on the shop and use my code ALEX20 to get 20% off it all ;-)

Thanks for stopping by today!

October Afternoon Travel Girl Blog Hop

Welcome to the October Afternoon Travel Girl blog hop! 

You should have arrived here from Vivian. If you didn't, jump over to the October Afternoon blog and start from the beginning.

We are having this blog hop to share our love for October Afternoon's beautiful Travel Girl collection. This collection is amazing! Colors are beyond lovely and all the little elements make it so fun to play with! It is perfect for all summer vacations we have in front of us, but it works just as well for everyday scrapping. Just check out this layout I made about something as ordinary as coffee :-)

I hope that you are having fun hopping and that you feel inspired! I have made this cute little card for you:

I cut this car with my Cameo and assembled it using papers Mix Tape, Postcard and Camera Bag. Cute little brads just had to be car's spotlights and the registration plate is made using a stamp from the See The World pack. When the car was finished, I attached it to a piece of gorgeous Passport paper using 3d-dots.

I cut the clouds and made them look like smoke behind the car. Before cutting them, I sketched them using Silhouette sketch pens. Phrase "Bon Voyage!" is written using Jeana Sketch font. And what would a card be without some cute OA stickers? :-) 

If you like the Designer Brads I have used on my card (and who doesn't???), leave a comment to this post by Tuesday, June 18th. I will draw one lucky person who will get a pack of brads. All the winners from this blog hop will be announced on Wednesday, June 19th.

After you have left comment here, be sure to continue hopping. There are prizes to win at every stop along the way! Your next stop from here is my sweet friend Danni. Jump over to her and be ready to get inspired!

Magnetic Book Mark

I love magnetic book marks! What a brilliant little invention! We had one that my husband got from his old job lying around here at home, and I wanted to make it a little more girly for my daughter. This is how it turned out:

I have used Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm collection from American Crafts. Love that little chipboard horse! Here you can see the magnet inside.

And this is how the book mark looks attached to a page. We are reading a book about Pippi Longstocking right now :-) 

This is how the book mark looked like before it got pimped.

My husband prefers the before-version, but he is alone :-) Linnea was so excited and happy when she saw what I made for her. That's what matter the most.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Miss Sunshine

It's time to show another layout I've made as a guest for Pyssloteket. My little Miss Sunshine.

This is a two years old picture of Linnea, but I remembered that dress of her when I saw these papers from KaiserCraft. The picture was a perfect match! No, I never scrap chronologically... :-)

Love those word arrows! I have mixed the arrows from couple of different sets. You can get them in the Silhouette store. 

At first, I was worried about these papers... Wasn't sure if I knew how to do them justice. But I kind of like how this layout turned out. I guess I've just surprised myself ;-)

Thanks for stopping by today!
