Stamped Layouts on Practical Scrappers

Smash Book Page 1

I made my first page in my Smash Book out of all kinds of tags that lie around in my scrappy space. . I love the tag and all the things you can use it for! Why on earth don´t I use them more! Why?? 

I hope you like this I didn´t think much I just put all these tags on the first page... ¨

Thanks for looking! :) /Pia

Smash Book by Pia

I´ve  had a hard time finding "my way" of documenting things. I started an attempt on a BoM and what a disaster, I made the cover and nothing else... maybe (just maybe) this Smmash Book will get my BoM ideas flowing! :) I started out trying a new technique with gesso and aquarelle pens! I thought I could find the tutorial on this technique at Youtube.... arghh......
I hope to fill my smash book eventuallly! :) /Pia

Sommaren är kommen!



Det har varit skönt med några dagars ledighet, trots att veckan började med feber och förkylningar. I fredags var vi och fiskade för första gången detta år och vi fick några abborrar. Dagens citat: "E när är det du ska använda visselpipan? ---- När man har drunknat!"

Hoppas du får en skön nationaldag och tar det lugnt med solningen! /Pia
