Clean and Simple - Pink and Lime

Hey Scrappers!

Today I'd like to share with you a quick blog post. I created a clean and simple layout in white, pink and lime. I was inspired by a layout I found on Pinterest and wanted to try this color combo. And this is what I came up with:

All the paper scraps, washi tapes and stickers are from the MME Up & Away collection. I created the little heart-pin by myself with a punch and some glitter. 

A few spritzers lime, a few sprinkles in pink and some matte gel on the background - that's pretty much it! Thank's for stopping by! 

Scrapbook Werkstatt Monatsstarter #1 2014

Hi everyone, I'm back with another clean layout. This one is for the Scrapbook-Werkstatt month starter. They provide a sketch every first day of the month as inspiration for you in their forum. I kept it really simple and used mainly scraps from earlier projects to finish this layout.

The huge white arrows are cut with my silhouette, the blue ones are some stamps from MME (up & away collection). 

I added some little brads here... 

... and embossed the plant with WOW embossing powder. It's a really cool color, something like patina. It's a mix of copper and turquoise. Love the effect! On the picture you can see one of my cats (I have three of them :D).

Thank you for stopping by! 

Creative Scrappers sketch #259

Hi everyone! I created another "clean" layout - well, at least I tried - this time for CreativeScrappers.
That's their awesome sketch and what I created with it. I played around with my new Silhouette Cameo as you'll see :)

Two pictures from one of my hiking trips with my friends! I just love nature and this is a great way to spend time with your friends and being active. We had a great day! All the paper I used is from DCWV, it's from the "Vintage Collector" collection which comes in great bright colors! I used withe cardstock for the Silhouette Cuts, and a little bit of yarn. That's it!  

I hope you like my creation! Thank you for stopping by <3 

A appreciate all comments :)

January Challenge by Life. Paper. Scrapbook

TGIF Scrappers! I found another great sketch challenge to work on, this time by Life. Paper. Scrapbook. They have a quiet simple sketch for January, but I really LOVE this one. Usually I prefer sketches with lots of details instead of some clean and simple ones, but when I saw their sketch, I knew I had to create a layout with it! I knew I had a picture in stash, which matches perfect to the sketch. It's from a travel to Prague in 2011, where we visited the John Lennon Wall. Love the colors!  

For me it's really hard to create a simple layout and although this one looks quiet clean, it has a lot of small details I added. The grid is stitched with pink floss and there's some stencil work behind the picture and in the lower left corner. I cut out my title with my NEW SILHOUETTE CAMEO (thank you honey for this AWESOME Christmas present :)) and added some Candis on the picture.

I cut out the hearts from a 12 by 12 paper and surrounded them with faux stitching. Little spritzes of Glimmer mist add some shine to the layout.

And that's the sketch for the challenge: 

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great weekend out there. 

Hugs!

Scrap & Music - Challenge #17

Some days ago I found another challenge-blog by browsing through other people's scrap-blogs. It's  the Scrap & Music challenge blog and it provides BEAUTIFUL sketches! The twist of their challenges is about using a part of a song as title or journaling. In this case the song was "like a prayer" by Madonna. I really like this idea, and I think I'm going to join some more of their challenges in future :) Here I joined a color challenge from Sketchy Colors #191, too. It's about using white and gold in your project. So here's my inspiration for the layout:

   

 and that's what I created: 

I'm a little bit unhappy with the colors of the picture I took of the layout, because it just couldn't catch the right colors. The white was either too grey or too yellow, or the gold is way too dark. Anyway, although this is a rather "clean" layout, I used a lot of different techniques for the background. On some spots I used golden molding paste with a mask, on some other spots I used different shades of golden embossing powder and some golden perfect pearls.  

I grabbed my glittered die-cuts and gave the rose a golden finish. 

I made the big filmstrip by myself out of a piece of scrap-paper and added some holes with my crop-a-dile. The gear looks like a film roll and matches quiet good with the rest of the layout.

The banner-pieces and the ticket are cut from different embossed and glittered golden papers.  

The beginning of the title is written with liquid pearl color.

Thank you so much for stopping by and wishing you a fabulous weekend! 

birthday card with cute owl

Hey Scrappers :)

This week we celebrated my best friends birthday and I created a birthday card for her. Since she has the most beautiful big eyes I've ever seen, we call her our owl :D And that's the reason, why I wanted to do a card with a cute owl. This time I made the card rather clean and simple than shabby.

 

This is the inside of the card: 

and here's one close-up: 

First I was looking for some paper with a wooden pattern, to create the background of the outside of the card. Then I punched out a scalloped circle for the owl-hole :) I cut out the owl by hand because I don't have any cutting die for my Sizzix in that shape. I looked up a template in internet. For the journaling I used some with cardstock and inked the edges with turquoises ink to make it match with the background. We have given my friend a voucher for a pair of glasses, that's why the owl wears some glasses, too :) For the front of the card I used some adhesive polkadot-ribbon to complete the design.
