Project Life i Norge gjestedesigner #2

Viser her samme innlegg som jeg i dag har hos Project Life i Norge.

Christin tilbake her og i dag skal jeg vise dere med hvilke produkter jeg har laget en del av mine journalingkort jeg brukte forrige uke og i dag.

Jeg bruker noen ganger et gammel islager for å blande farger. Her ser du at jeg har blandet Ecoline, mister og vannfargepalett. (akkurat her har den tørket litt ut....)




For å lage dette kortet har jeg brukt et beger som over, dyppet vannpenselen i og malt inne i en stencil, og etterpå så har jeg bare brukt en vanlig tynn svart penn og laget streker. Ikke ha for mye vann og farge da flyter det litt lett.



På dette kortet har jeg bare brukt en spatel og dyppet i den tynne Ecoline fargen og dratt fargen utover. Dette kan gjøres med alle typer vannfarger på samme måte som akrylmaling. Her har jeg også brukt sirkelmal og sydd litt.



Dagens siste eksempel er at jeg har brukt en rund pensel, dyppet i Ecoline og malt, deretter igjen brukt en svart penn og tegnet rundt.





Her er dagens oppslag. Der jeg ikke har laget egne journalingkort så er det kort fra Amy Tangerine Plus One Minikit

Captured - Citrus Twist Kits - August kits

Sharing my third layout with the August Main Kit "All that glitters" from Citrus Twist kits. And it glitters. To match all the blue in the papers in the main it I had to pick a few things from the Add-on kit as well . The To do paper and stitches together with the die cut captured are from the Add on kit, and a little piece of Shimelle 6x6 paper from the PL kit can be found too. 

Dream - August Citrus Twist Kits

Sharing my second layout with the August Main Kit "All that glitters" from Citrus Twist kits. And it glitters. Lovely golden pieces from Crate Paper Notes&Things, Gold star vellum from Studio Calico.  Added a few pieces from the Embellishment kit and the Add on Kit (frames) too. 

I don't often use patterned paper behind my photos and I was glad that I this time had the perfect picture to use with this paper from Websters Pages (Strawberry Fields collection)

Sliten - Citrus Twist Kits August Reveal

All kits are revealed at the Citrus Twist Kits blog and I am happy to show them here as well. Be sure to visit the blog/store to get all the news.

For my first layout I have played with the Main kit "All that Glitters" and the "Summer Dreaming" Embellishment kit.

I absolutely loved the Vellum from Studio Calico in the main kit and only used that as a photo mat over my decorated background.   I combined a piece from the Crate Paper Notes and Things Ephemera Pack with the Notes and Things Standouts to give it more 3d effect.  The dots, the epoxy text and the thickers are all from the main kit.

More layouts from me coming up the next few days.

Project Life i Norge gjestedesigner

Dette blir en kopi av inlegget mitt på Project Life i Norge hvor jeg er gjestedesigner hver fredag i august.

Hvem er jeg ? Christin Grønnslett heter jeg, 40 år har jeg blitt og i 10 av disse årene har jeg bodd i Sverige, derav navnet på min blogg og ofte brukt nickname: umenorskan.blogspot.com.  Nå bor jeg i Røyken med mann og to barn 7 og snart 5.  Jeg har mer eller mindre scrappet siden 2002 da jeg en periode bodde i USA og etter at jeg kom hjem ønsket jeg å dokumentere alle reisene våre. Det ble mest shopping og mindre scrapping.  Stilen jeg hadde i starten kan faktisk ligne på Project Life da jeg brukte maler for Color Blocking som forrige gjestedesigner.  Viser her min scrappestil anno 2003 eller 2004...

Så gikk det noen år og jeg har utviklet scrappestilen litt... Ikke mer mørk cardstock...   I grunnen er jeg likevel en clean and simple scrapper, jeg har bare begynt å bruke litt teknikkprodukter på mine hvite bakgrunner. Jeg liker hvite bakgrunner, da føler jeg bildene mine kommer best frem.  Det er kanskje ingen overraskelse at det er ikke en vegg i huset vårt som ikke er hvit. 

For tiden så scrapper jeg ikke like mye for å dokumentere som da jeg begynte, jeg scrapper mer for å ha det gøy med farger og papir - i like store doser.  Jeg liker å fange uttrykk og scrappe det.  Dette passer ikke like bra for den tradisjonelle ukentlige Project Life stilen, så jeg bruker Project Life når jeg har litt for mange bilder. 

Som mange andre har jeg funnet min stil når det gjelder scrapping og jeg liker at den følger med meg hva det enn jeg gjør med papir.  Jeg har sjokkerende nok bare gjort ytterst få PL oppslag før dette, og mye av grunnen er at jeg ikke har funnet hva det er jeg har villet overføre fra min tradisjonelle scrappbooking til Project Life, men jeg tror jeg har funnet det. Jeg må tilbake til opprinnelige clean and simple, men jeg tar med meg fargebruken og spesielt vannfargene, jeg har til min egen skuffelse valgt å gå bort fra lager på lager stilen som også er en stor bestanddel av min scrappestil.

Jeg vil i ukene fremover vise dere litt mer om hvordan jeg bruker vannfarger, i dag presenterer jeg bare utfordringen.  Jeg skal likevel gi dere noen tips på hva dere kan bruke

•  Vannpensler sammen med penner/stempeldyner (eksempel) 
• barnas vannfarger, fra den de store første puckene til de litt mindre eller dyrere vannfarger
• (Glimmer) mist, men da gjerne med litt glear gesso under. (men ikke spray, bare drypp og bland også gjerne ut på egnet sted med vann)
• Vannbasert maling: Goya Art Akryl Aqua eller Ecoline
• Peerless watercolor paper
• vanlig akrylmaling som blandes ut kraftig med vann, rør og rør og fyll på med mere og mere vann til du har fått den lyshetsgraden og tynnhet du vil.

Min utfordring til dere vil derfor være å bruke vannfarger på egenlagde journaling kort og i tillegg bruke tråd i en eller annen form på oppslagene. 

Her kommer mine første sider

Her er en liten RAK fra meg, med litt Citrus Twist PL kort, diverse American Crafts PL kort, chipboard samt buttons og chipboard fra Papirdesign.

Fancy Pants Design July Challenge

It's been forever since I have done a challenge, but when I got a new Fancy Pants Design collection I just had to do something. I started on this layouts weeks ago but for some reason I just cut the pieces and never stapled it together until yesterday.

Here is the sketch
