STROMSVIGT DT - September "12 in '14 challenge"

Hello ladies!



Or are there any gents out there reading my blog?

Of course, my lovely husband! (;

Anyone else?



Ok, back to the theme...

This month Nina challenged us to go minimalistic...

hahaaaa,... many of you know that I'm a graphic designer and those need to work minimalistic at times,...BUT... scrapbooking is my hobby & I free myself as much as I can!

And HELLOOOOO? I have so much gorgeous stuff...



So this is as minimalistic as i could get for this layout:

matted pictures, Project Life cards, stamps, alphas in a restricted color scheme. I LOVE it!



First step was finding the perfect PL cards for the layout from Liz Tamanaha's "Midnight" kit and positioning them on the page.







Then I added the matted pictures.







...the stamped Studio Calico label,...





...the Amy Tangerine & American Crafts alphas...





... more STROMSVIGT stamps... & a tiny camera from a recent SC stampset that I won.





...as well as this gorgeous handwritten "SELFIE" stamp designed by my sweet friend Laura aka "lorabailora" (;





I hope you like it? Maybe i can encourage you to create a minimalistic project? If yes, hop over to Nina's blog to enter it to win something!
And to Magdalena for her take



That's it for now...

Bye lovelies!

July STROMSVIGT "12 in '14"-challenge

hey there!

Back with this month's prompt "geometric".

Here's what I came up with:

A winter-themed layout in June? Why not!? (((;

I had these in my to-use-pics for a really long time... 'til now! (;

Using the "Special Delivery" set (available here in the STROMSVIGT etsy shop.) once again for the journaling lines & the "Fragile".

The "+"es are from the "The good stuff" stampset. (available here in the STROMSVIGT etsy shop.)

I splattered some Mr. Huey's in brown and white (which is empty now... boo!) but covered all those splatters with the pictures...(((;

The Nea-alpha (available here in the STROMSVIGT etsy shop.), used to stamp "winter" unfortunately isn't available.

I added some tiny handdrawn '+'es 

Some more detail-shots:

Here's a peek at Magdalena's take, hop over to her blog to see all and

find the entry to win something on Nina's blog like always!

I hope i could inspire you a bit. (;

Thats it for today!

STROMSVIGT 12 in '14 challenge June ... and maybe news for some of you...

Hey there,

Oh my,... it's JUNE already!

I can't believe how fast this year goes...

Ok, but you might not be here to philosophize about time perception, right!?

So here we go:

My layout following June's prompt "SEQUINS"

Title translate to "hi you little tickle monster" (;

Okay,... okay... i might not only have used ONLY sequins,... my hormones literally MADE me use more & more embellishments...(;

So i used watercolors & my Fiskars star punches to create these stars.

Pre-printed Studio Calico labels that I really love.

And, of course, i just many of my beloved STROMSVIGT stamps, including the "Special Delivery" set... that matches the topic of this layout PERFECTLY!! (;

I hope you like my really heavily embellished layout.

And just like every month - hop over to my fellow DT-members Magdalena & Jeanne to see what they created AND, Of COURSE, hop over to Nina to see her creation AND for a chance to win something!!!

So happy hopping - see you soon!

A birthday card & the STROMSVIGT "12 in '14 challenge for May

Hey there,

How's this year's NSD been for you?

Did you find time to scrap?

Unfortunately my day was different to what I had planned,

so I only created a card for a 50th birthday of a friend.

I used my beloved Silhouette Cameo & I know why I LOVE it.

And now I'm showing you what I did with all the punched out circles I showed on Instagram

The prompt Nina gives us this month for the "12 in '14 challenge" is to use WASHI.

I didn't want to use it the normal way, so i used a sheet of printer paper, washi tape & punched out many different sizes of circles (plus some from matching paper). I was inspired by the picture i used - a little branch overgrown with circle shaped lichen - and recreated a similar shape on the background paper with the circles.

When i had laid them all out on my background I thought that something was missing, so i put them all aside again and mixed some matching acrylic colors & splattered them on the background.

Then I glued everything down.

Added some enamel dots...

and some of my beloved STROMSVIGT stamps.

I really LOVE these prompts Nina gives us each month!

I hope you feel inspired, too, & if you create something,

hop over to Nina's blog & enter it for a chance to win something!

Have a great week!
