Hello and happy Friday night or Saturday Morning!

Today I’m sharing my last layout made with Hip Kit Club March kits and even though it’s almost May and it’s already weeks since Easter I am sharing memories of our Easter preparations.
In the picture is my Mother together with Maya decorating some branches for Easter traditions. In Finland our children dress themselves as witches (both boys and girls) and go from door to door to wish luck for next year by reciting a poem. Then they give the decorated branch and get paid, usually with chocolate Easter eggs.
Afterwards we can enjoy our children with too much eaten sugar, lol!
The tradition is really old and has moved to Finland originally from Russia, and the way the tradition is used depends on where in Finland you live. My description tells how we do it in Southern Finland.

Now that I’ve told something about our decorated branches, you can check out my video to learn how I decorated the layout. Lots of delicious goodies from Pink Fresh Studio Felicity collection, and so much more!

Next week I’ll be sharing my first April kit layout, and I’m so excited about it.

Thank you for your time and visit.

Hello there! Today I'm sharing this airy layout over at 13arts blog, here. For me 13arts presents the best medium manufacturer in the world, it's the place with the perfect mists and a place with best quality gesoos and other mediums - but it is also place of beautiful papers. So I decided to dedicate this layout for new paper designed by my dear friends Aida and Olga. I took their names to the layout too from stickers sheets, and as Marta's name wasn't there, i had to write it down my hand. Not that pretty as the stickers' font, but it will do.

So looking forward next month to see these three darlings again in Poland!

Hope you enjoy the video!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi! Today I have something special, really exciting and totally different to show you - my application project for Kaisercraft Design Team. I was one of those lucky crafters who were asked to show their best creativity in the second round of 2016/17 design team call. For me the honor of being asked to join the final is a huge victory, and receiving goodie pack from Kaisercraft was a great reason for happy dancing. Sadly the dance didn't make into the video below, hah!
Doing a layout as a job application is hard. Need to give the best of you, but still try not to do too much. I keep telling myself, all I can do is my best and create my projects with my heart open and with a smile on my face. I did that, and future tells me if it was good enough. At least I had tons of fun so big thank you for Kaisercraft for giving me the opportunity.
I received Boho Dreams collection together with some stencils and mists, and as the collection was filled with peach, teal green, blue with a touch of brown I decided to make a layout highlighting the colors. To get the colors really pop out, it was important to choose picture either with the same color scheme or in black and white, as black and white goes with everything. But as for me scrapbooking is as much memory keeping as it is way to create art, I chose this cute picture of my puppy because it made the creation process even more fun and important.
Next I will show you step-by-step how I created the layout. There is also process video in the end of this post, so be sure to scroll down slowly to see that and the list of all delicious materials.


After making the toughest choice of the whole process by choosing the photograph, I always prepare the background and other things that might need any preparations. 
This time I wanted use the Kaisercraft cork sheet (CB152 Cork Sheets 12x12"), and used my Big Shot to cut some frames out of it.
I also covered a white cardstock with a thin layer of clear gesso and let it dry.


While the gesso layer was drying, I mixed white texture paste together with Kaisermist "Peach" (KM107 KAISERmist, Peach) to receive this gorgeous light peach paste. I set the stencil on top of the gessoed area and carefully added a layer of the paste through Kaisercraft stencil (IT912 12x12 Designer Template Feathers).


As the paste takes quite long time to dry, I had good time to choose the papers I wanted to use.
Lots of peachy tones, and some teal green too. I wanted to add the blues in little spots to keep the result light and airy.


I cut the papers and created a paper cluster with my favorite paper layering technique - adding paper behind another and using stapler to adhere them.
I added the die-cut frames between the layers and chose some fabulous ephemera (Boho Dream collectables CT858) from the same collection to embellish the layout.


Once I had everything set and glued, I covered the picture with some scraps and added mist drops all over. It gives a nice details and kind of collect everything together.
Here's the video next, more explanations there. Enjoy! 


Kaisercraft materials: P2108 Boho Dreams paper, Young | P2107 Boho Creams paper, Feathers | P2106 Boho Dreams paper, Dreamcatcher | P2109 Boho Dreams paper, Wild | SS315 Boho Dreams Sticker Sheet | Boho Dream collectables CT858
 | F667 Mini Paper Blooms | CB152 Cork Sheets 12x12" | IT912 12x12 Designer Template Feathers | KM107 KAISERmist, Peach | KM106 KAISERmist, Denim


Thank you so much for stopping by today! Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck!

Hello all! I’m trying my best to not to make you bored with puppy pictures, but couldn’t resist posting this. This is the first pic of Myy when she moved in, so it’s kind of important and special photo. And she’s so cute!
Talking about cuteness, few days ago we went for a walk to our city center and oh boy the amount of attention Myy got! I’m pretty sure I’m just not aware that her real name is “Oh my!” instead of Myy, as every single human walking to us said “Oh my!” with at least one level higher voice! Hah! Yes I understand, she is so ridiculously cute while walking with her tail swinging all the time. And Myy is so social and friendly, she loves attention. Was quite hard to move forward, but Myy liked the city.
Anyway, back to the layout – this is made with Hip Kit Club March kits and again I used a lot of things especially from the March Color kit. The Pink Fresh Studio stamp was now in a good use in the usual way, stamping with ink. And as I used a lot of color again, I wanted to soften the contrast between white background, black stamping and colorful papers by adding some Shimmerz paints as a shadows peeking from behind the papers.
Again the whole process is shared on a video and I hope you have few minutes to watch it!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hey and happy Monday. Even though it is Monday and it rains a lot here, I'm feeling happy. Some time ago I read that happiness in a state of mind, it's something you choose to be, not something that comes because of what happens in life.
It is not easy to decide, but I get the point and doing my best to be happy. To feel the happy things around me. And when I reach the feeling, it's the best!

Even in the hardest decisions can make you feel happy, and that is why I chose to make the most cheerful and happy page as my last scrapbook page for Create A Smile. Leaving our little Create A Smile family was hard, I really enjoyed my time there and you know how much I have love creating with CAS products. But to get something, you need to give something. This time I wanted to have some time, and in order to have that extra time, I needed to give away my place over at CAS design team. This is a good place to mention that I always work in advance - so this decision was made months ago and I already have enjoyed my extra time - working in my day time job even more! 
I started in a new job in the beginning of February, and the start have been quite rushy but calming down already, so the extra time has been what I needed.
Funny thing is that I already miss more scrapbooking, and fortunately I have my worktable home and can spend nights scrapping just for me. And it feels so good and healthy!

Anyway, Create A Smile has released their new goodies, and I used the new stamp set called "Aloha Spirit" to create this cheery layout. I hope you like it, and don't forget to spy all other April arrivals from Create A Smile blog!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi! This week has been all about friendships over at Hip Kit Club Member Forum and that is why I've dedicated this layout to my sweethearts. I'm not saying they are my best friends, but they are best friends. Yes, I'm talking about my girls.
Maya is now turning eight, and Mea is 5 and half. Even though they have two years between them, they spend all possible time together, playing, laughing, fighting, singing and more playing, like all kids should do. I'm feeling very grateful to have girls like that, not all siblings plays together - I remember how we were always fighting about nothing with my big sister, so I do what I'm talking about.
In the picture we are hugging, me and my girls. It was a sunny springy day, one of the moments they showed their endless love for each other and me, so I wanted to capture it. Of course with bright colors and the feeling was so high!
The colorful papers with triangle pattern is exclusively designed for Hip Kit Club, by our own Kim Watson, I adore her and her designs! All embellishments are from Basic Grey, and the background is made with Pink Fresh Studio stamp and Shimmerz watercolor, just as promised week ago. And all these items are from Hip kit Club March 2016 Kits, delivered right to my door step!

I hope you take few minutes for the video, thank you for watching and visiting here today!
