Notebooks for work

School has started again (I work as a teacher) and I needed some new notebooks for planning and meetings. I usually buy cheap notebooks that I embellish myself, in that way I get them the way I want. This time the notebooks were black, so I thought that it would look nice with strong colours such as green and orange and some stamping in black. I have also used some of the new dies from Spellbinders to make a label with text on.

I always try to keep my notebooks as simple as possible, since they tend to get worn down quickly. If I had glued a lot of flowers on them they would probably fall off when I often stuff my notebook into my bag and pull it out again.

If you want to know what supplies I have used, you are more than welcome to check out the details on Hobbyworld's blog.

Take care!

Card 3 of 3

Another card with several layers of white cardstock and diecuts on 3D foam squares. I love the new Spellbinder dies - just look how gorgeous they are!

Card 2 of 3

Card number two today is a simple card with a cityscape - of course I've used 3D foam squares on it and embellished with washi tape and a few letter stickers. It doesn't have to be more complicated than that.

Card 1 of 3

Today I will show you a few good-to-have-in-your-stash-cards that I have made with Spellbinder's dies and lovely flowers among other things. The cards are a bit smaller than I usually make them - 12 cm x 12 cm instead of 14 cm x 14 cm, which is my usual size. Maybe it's time to make some rectangular or round cards?! :)

The first card of the day has a white base with black and pink flowers. The banner underneath the flowers is cut out from a patterned paper from My Mind's Eye. I use a lot of 3D foam squares to make sure it doesn't look flat - I like a bit of distance to the card base.

Come back later today if you are curious - I have two more cards to show you! :) Check out all the details about this card on the Hobbyworld blog.

This year's new teacher's diary

Voilá! This year's teacher's diary is all pimped and ready for a new school year:

It has become a "thing" for me - I have to alter/embellish my new teacher's diary every new school year, and I really enjoy it. :) If you want to know more about supplies, please welcome to pop by at Pyssloteket's blog.

Fontana di Trevi

In May this year, me and my darling went to Rome. It was my first time in the capital of Italy and I loved it! The hotel was fantastic, the food wonderful and there were so many things to see - we could have stayed much longer. This is definitely a city I'd like to visit again!

When I created this page I was challenged to make something out of a coffee filter - I used a Sizzix die and cut out what seemed to be a million little petals, all glued together they made a lovely flower. Not sure I could do it justice, though, mine looks a bit ruffled. I sprayed it with Prima's colour bloom sprays in two different colours before I glued it down right next to my photo.

Mum's birthday gifts

In July we celebrated my mother's 66th birthday - the weather was fantastic and we had a lovely day and evening together. Of course I had made her a card and it matched the wrapping on her gifts - do I need to say that she loves turquoise? ;)

White Card for Pyssloteket

Today's card is a monochromatic card for a co-worker's sister who turned 40 earlier this year. I just love to create these clean, crisp, white cards - and this card fold (recessed window card) is a favourite of mine. I go back to making them, again and again. :)

Gifts for Kajsa's teachers

My daughter Kajsa is starting pre-school this autumn and when she had her last week at kindergarten we gave her teachers some gifts. Everyone recieved a small lantern with a scented candle, togehter with a box of chocolates. Of course I embellished the gifts and Kajsa wrote her namn on all three of them:

On the back of each tag I wrote a note from Kajsa and her family in case I could not hand over the gifts personally.

August Challenge @ Hobbyworld

It's time for a new challenge over at Hobbyworld! August is here and this month we want you to have a colour challenge - create something with blue, green and yellow! I really love colour challenges, so this was easy to get started with - I just pulled out some colour bloom sprays from Prima Marketing and used them on a white cardstock. This is what I made:

The photos are from our trip to Rome at the end of May this year - one of many ice cream breaks is shown on the pictures. Oh, how I love Italian ice cream - particularly lemon... *yum*
