LO: Go. See. Do.

Hi! I just moved all photos from my camera to my laptop and I realized I have done so much crafting lately. There were so many layouts, card, canvas, art journals... Seems like I have really had my vacation by sitting in front of my work table! Last night I made this layout to 7 Dots Studio Sizzling Hot Summer Challenge. Something special about this page: it's my very first layout with Pan Pastels.

Heippa! Siirtelin juuri kaikki kuvat kameralta koneella ja huomasin että olen tehnyt ihan valtavasti erilaisia askarteluja. Kuvamäärästä päätellen en ole lomallani muualla ollutkaan kuin istumassa työpöytäni äärellä! Eilen illalla syntyi sivu 7 Dost Studion tirisevän kuumaan kesäkisaan. Tässä sivussa on erityistä se, että se on ensimmäinen jossa käytin Pan Pastelleja.



I know my picture in this page is not the hottiest one - the sun barely shines in it! But I think the atmosphere is the most important thing. This picture was taken last summer during our family trip to middle-Finland. My hubby loves fishing, and so does our two daughters! So for all week long, we sat in a boat and fished. Our cottage was located in very fishy lake shore, so it was a huge joy to fish!
We had sun, we could swim, eat well and take relaxing sauna baths (the most important thing!). And I have to admit, this summer has been no exception to the previous one.
I started to build this page by stamping, I'm a little addicted to it at the moment. There is also pencil doodling on the background. Then I used bright yellow Pan Pastel to the places where I wanted to set my papers. 7 Dots Studio papers, of course.
Once again I inked all the edges of the papers, and I'm very much aware my design is very close to another layout I recently did - but it just looked so good and I couldn't resist to do another with the same sketch. If it doesn't bother me, it should not bother anyone :)
Have a great sunny day, and thank you for looking!!

Tiedän, että kuvani ei ole tirisevän kuuma - aurinko hädin tuskin paistaa siinä! Mutta tunnelma on tärkein. Kuva on otettu vuosi sitten kesälomareissulla keski-suomessa. Puolisoni rakastaa kalastamista, ja niin rakastavat tyttäremmekin! Joten koko pitkän viikon istuimme veneessä ja kalastimme. Mökkimme sijaitsi ihanan kalaisan järven rannalla joten kalastaminen oli todella nautinnollista.
Saimme aurinkoa, uida, syödä hyvin ja saunoa. Täytyy kyllä myöntää, ettei tämä kesä ole kovastikaan ollut poikkeus edelliseen.
Aloitin leimailemalla, johon olen jostain syystä nyt aikalailla koukussa. Taustalta löytyy myös piirtelyä. Sitten tuhersin kirkkaan keltaista Pan Pastellia kohtiin joihin paparisuikaleeni oli tulossa. 7 Dots Studion papereita, tottakai.
Jälleen mustasin kaikkien papereiden reunat ja olen hyvinkin tietoinen että sivun asettelu jatkaa edellisen sivun linjaa - mutta kun se näyttää niin hyvälle niin en voinut olla tekemättä. Jos se ei haittaa minua, tuskin muitakaan.
Mukavaa ja aurinkoista päivää, kiitos kun piipahdit!

  1. Mahtava sivu, tykkään myös tuosta asettelusta. Upea. PasPAstellit on täälläkin nykyään kovassa käytössä.... Skräppisivujen suhteen pieni jumi päällä, tuntuu, teei löydä sitä "omaa" tälä hetkellä, mutta eikähän se sieltä taas aukene... ilman stressiä parhaiten

  2. I am ashamed to say that I have a LOAD of pan pastels and I have never used them :( I know... shocking. But I found them again while I was cleaning my studio (I have lots of hidden stuff around) AND now seeing this layout I want to play with them I love this layout and I would never have remembered that it was a similar design to another layout and now you know that I am going to go back through your posts to find it :) I think if something works GO for it. Beautiful design, stunning colours and I love the photo. So much inspiration here.
