The most cozy drink ever

I'm not very good at updating this thing, am I?

Well, I don't get to do a lot of scrapbooking these days, and to be frank, I'm not very inspired or motivated. But, at the end of February I signed up for a 6 month subscription to Little Red Scrapbook. I got my first kit last week, and made this layout. You get a lot of paper and embellishment for just $22 (+ shipping, of course, which is a bit to Norway, but still cheaper than kits from Norwegian stores, and bigger kits, as I can see).

I never thought I'd be too fond of those turquoise Thickers, but seeing them on this paper, and the contrast it creates... They're great! I also finally got to use one of the denim flowers from Prima that I got a few months ago. This is also the first time I try rhinestone embellishment, and I have to admit that I like it quite a lot.

And yes, this is also another shameless lift. Hoped it'd spark my inspiration. Alas, it didn't.

First Love

Another end of a month, another prompt from Gutter Girlz. This time I was more than a little inspired by Nikki's layout, as you can see.

Baubles - a tutorial

**This is not my idea, but after posting about these in my LiveJournal, I was asked if I could do a tutorial, so... here it is!**

1. Start by finding a pretty paper, preferably with two patterned sides, so that the inside won't be plain white.
2. Cut the paper into fitting pieces. You'll need to have it big enough to work with, but not big enough to fit your entire living room. I've chosen to have the paper strips 15cm long, 1.5cm wide.


3. You'll need to make small holes in the strips one way or the other. Do that!
4. Now you'll need a brad to fit through the holes in each paper strip, like this:
5. When you've fastened the brad, you'll need a bit of sewing thread. Make a small knot, making a circle. Take one end of the second brad inside it, so that it'll hang onto the baubel. Repeat step 4.

6. The baubel is almost done! Separate the strips!
7. If you're feeling extra adventurous, you can add another piece of sewing thread and an ornament inside the baubel.

Picture heavy post - 3D collage in frame

I came home from a course with Erika Tysse a little while ago, where she taught us to make 3D collages in frames. Truly inspired, I'll be getting some more frames from IKEA as soon as I can!
