I like a lot of different styles of art journaling; wild and free, artsy, painted, colourful collage, doodle, total messiness etcetera etcetera. And on top of all those experiments I also have a thing for cuteness… I don’t know how, but toy shop wrapping paper always appeal to me a lot more than somber grown […]

Creativity in Snapshots | Easter
The collage box is filling up with the collage project as you can see. A row of pretty journals are waiting in line to be played in. Easter invited sunshine, great movies and family time. I continue to capture life with my camera. I had fun decorating and photographing for my little Easter Tree Tutorial. […]
Spiral bound Pink Smart Journal
I had to make a pink smart journal along with the lush green one. This one is listed for sale in my etsy shop right now. Today I’m showing you a few of my favorite spreads from this journal. Enjoy! Front and back cover is paper patchwork style. Love this cover! Pink is my all […]
Lush Green Smart Journal
Sharing one of my spiral bound journals today! I love every spread of this journal – and the patchwork cover. Very yummy, all of it. And it was fun to work with a color scheme like this! Smart is short for Small Art Journal, my invention for these square, spiral journals that I’ve made several […]
Postal Flow
Something really strange happened in my post box this week. I got several “lost packages” all at once without explanation. I so wonder where they have been all this time?! The above magazine (and some stickers, vintage rub-on letter sheets & pretty papers) was sent from Belgium by Sophie, and I love everything! Well, who […]
Painting your Own Decorative Papers
Painting decorative papers to use in collage and mixed media art projects is pure happiness to me. I love making my own thing, as you know. Spreading the paint out on recycled printer papers is something I love doing. Mixing colours, making marks, creating texture, combining patterns. Some of these papers are like little abstract […]
Grid of Pretty Papers
Continuing with grids, this time more of a Paper Sampler, as suggested for the June crusade. I have only used papers I’m really drawn to right now, so this sampler is really showing “my style” when it comes to papers. Lots of green, pink and yellow. Lots of polka dots and flowers, some letters and […]
Your Lucky Star Shines Through
This is the only reality there is. If you can get it down on paper, in words, notes, or color, so much the better. /Henry Miller Hello my dears! I was the lucky and very happy winner of
Decoupage | Napkins and decorating with paper
I got the chipboard pieces from my friend Diane Gilleland (Sister Diane in blog land) around Christmas. I had no idea what to do with them. Small pieces of paper… hmm… maybe glue them to the cover of one of my altered books? But then mom and I went into decoupage mode as you know […]
Paper patchwork background
The baking is postponed, maybe Christmas will be canceled? Haha, wouldn’t that be something? No, I’m not worried. I know it will be okay, we’ll all be well in two days I think. And in the meantime I feel like blogging, so I’m going to ramble on because I usually don’t. I tend to plan […]
Dotted shirt
Bokrea is a annual happening in Sweden. It’s when all book stores start the big book sale of the year on February 23. I have spent the weekend in fjällen so I couldn’t go until today. But I went to three different book store today, and was tempted to buy about four or five books, […]
New Scrapbook Papers
I got new scrapbook papers, wanna see? I love pretty papers, all of them. But sometimes I think that it’s the searching and finding them that is the most fun. If you keep your eyes open there are pretty papers everywhere, not just new scrapbook papers like these, but in everyday life. You can use […]
