Project Life- Documented Life June 2015

Hello there! :) 

Another quick post to show you some pages of the month June in my granddaughter's album:


Here's how I start, combining cards I made myself with purchased cards & paper.


During the process I will keep moving the cards around untill I really like the way it looks


This is how it looks when I am finished. Well actually I think it's never finshed so I need to stop myself at a certain point otherwise I will keep going on :)


(The last 2 pictures look a bit pale, sorry for this)


Thanks for watching again! xxx

Using QR codes in your project life albums:)


Hi all :)

Do you also have those video's on your mobile phone and you want to incorporate them in your project life albums? Here's what I do:)
  • First you have to have a Youtube channel. If you don't have one just go to Youtube and create a free account.
  • Upload your videos to your own channel and mark them as "hidden" when you start uploading. That way only people who have the QR code can see the video.
  • When the video is ready, copy the youtube link where the video is at and go to a page where you can make free QR codes. I always use www.qr-code-generator.com.
  • Now paste the link from Youtube in the field which says "Website (URL)" and click "Create QR-code".
  • You now can download the QR-code and safe it on your computer.
  • Print it and add it to your project life layout:) 

Below you see a QR code I added to the page (second row on the left). Normally I will cover them up when I post my work online but this is just to show you how it looks like.


Here's the same example where I used some QR codes but now they are hidden for you to see with some white squares. (sorry) :) 


When Youtube and QR-codes continue to exist it will be so much fun for your loved ones to watch the videos. All they need to have is a QR-code scanner on their mobile phone :) :)

Guest Designer @Katzelkraft France

Hi all,

For the French brand Katzelkraft I made this blogpost as a guest designer with the lovely Giraffe stamp.


It's quite a simple card but I like the effect of the masking combined with punched circles. If you want to see the full discription please click here to visit the Katzelkraft blog.

Ramsjbook Workshop

For a workshop I created this Ramsjbook. I was inspired by the lovely work of Julie Fei Fan Balzer and Betty Franks Krause. I like what they are doing so I loved making a book like this and gave it my own Julie & Betty "twist" ;)

Some finished ramsjbooks.

The cover of the first one I made

Lifebook 2015 week 15 with Tamara Laporte

Lifebook 2015 time again!!

Hi all! :)

Week 15 of Lifebook: It's the little things with Tamara Laporte
I am a little bit behind with lifebook but here's another lesson I did and....... it was way out of my comfort zone ;)

This is the end result, not completely happy with it but I had fun creating it.

Some detail pictures


 And some work in progress pictures when I was thinking to myself.........

"this is so NOT going to be okay" LOL, But in the end I am happy with it, I had fun and I tried something new again :)


 




Serenity Art Journal Pagina

Today I have an art journal page to share with you

I started with a gelli print I made the other day and used it for this page's background. Then I added an extra layer by using stencils and after that some Tim Holtz washi tape (the red numbers) and another piece of black & white washi tape ( I don't remember which brand it is or where it's coming from).



The stamps I used are from Lost Coast designs:
Rustic Checkerboard border
Serentity Diva


I finished this "masterpiece" by adding some white cirkels with acryllic paint and an old lid from "something".

Thanks for watching and have a great day!

New Round Gelli plate


Last week I got myself the new round gelli plates at De Craftorij shop. I bought the 4 & 6 inch and I started playing with them. I must say I LOVE them!!!


I already had the bigger round 8 Inch one so I started off with that one and made some big circles first. I think you can see it best at the first picture below.



After making circles with the 8"Gelliplate I started working with the 6" plate and  after that the 4" one.

I used some funny color combinations, the ones I probably wouldn't use together normally but I must say I like the overall result.


The page I made is about 9 x12 inch. Not sure what I am going to do with it but it will probably become a background for an Art Journal page or something like that.

Colorful Butterfly

There's a new Challenge blog for Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda. Please join the new blog for monthly challenges, you will have twice the inspiration and double the fun!

As an example for the first challenge I made this card with 2 new stamps by Lost Coast designs. I used the lovely Butterfly face as a focal point and for the  background I stamped and embossed the Grunge Window Wall stamp.

The bright colours you see are made with Distress Stains and I embossed the background stamp with purple embossing powder.(which is unfortunately a bit hard to see on the pictures).


 
I finished with some white acryllic paint spatters.
Thanks again for watching :)
