Photo inspiration @ Anyone for Anya

Hi everyone!

New challenge at Anyone for Anya today :)

And as the beginning of the month we are due with another photoinspiration.

Here is my take:

I focused on the colours white and green. The stamp set for the background and the tickets are from Prima, the sprays are cany gem acrylic sprays from MB's Treasurista. The flowers, pearls and ribbon is from my stash, but the lace is from a RAK from my good friend Tina from the UK.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to give me a shout!
See you at the party @AFA :)

MB's Treasurista Gettin Organized Challenge

Hi!
My name is Pi and I'm a scrapmess - LOL!

Anyone out there who's the same?

Well I'm sure we all have our sore spots, whether it's lace or dies, stamps or paper, paper flowers or buttons, washi or stickers - we want to know:)

MB's Treasurista is hosting a Gettin Organized Challenge!!
That's right, you can win a great prize just for cleaning! If that's not an excuse to really dig in to that mess and start organizing I don't know what is - LOL!

Rules:

• You can organize anything you want. Must include a before and after pic and brief description of what you did.
• Submit Project as a "linky" to the MB's Treasurista Blog Gettin Organized Challenge post or any designers post or you may do a video response to the video in this post via Youtube.
• Unlimited Entry submission per contestant
• Follow the MBT blog and/or youtube channel
• 1 Winner will be selected
• Projects must be uploaded by June 22nd 11:59pm

The prize is a Clip It Up Base Unit - how awesome isn't that?!
 
I organized my wafer thin dies, as I don't have a binding machine I'm not able to make one of those gorgeous books you see everyone else do and I've been eyeing a cinch for a while now getting closer and closer to cash in, but I really don't have room for one...

Thus, behold.
Simple stories snap album (or mix and match album) turned out to be a savier!
But let me start from the beginning...

Before:

My dies where stored in a file folder, great system with tabs and sorted by category.
Downside: to sort through you still need to get all the dies out. The folder is only expandable in the top, which makes it hard to close...


Now:

My dies are neatly placed on magnetic tape in a ring binder of suitable size and very managable. Should I get more dies I can always add a new binder to the system.

Now please help me get ideas how to store my image stamps in a neat and portable system :)
... or how to store lace and ribbon without everything getting tangled...
... anything that is portable and space saving!!!

Mixed media

Hi there!

So this is my first shot at a mixed media canvas.

 

This was meant to be my project for the youtube hop MB's Treasurista hosted previous this month, but those of you who remembers, the requirements where white with a splash of two colours.

Let me tell you thou, there are only two colours, but I gessoed the canvas as to prep it and then I wanted to mod podge the spray. I have no idea what happend, but firstly, I could see the spray react with the gesso and when I had managed to even that out it was very much lighter than the peach spray I had in mind. As I also had intention to spray it with green Lindy's i wanted to seal it. So naturally, the colour reacted with the sealing as well and there, I had yellow for some reason?! On a try-out the sealing didn't work wonder so I had hopes that I would be able to correct it when I sprayed away later (when everything was glued down), but don't you think that now, why not, the sealing worked and nothing would stick to it...

Oh well, it grow on me after a while and now I'm almost liking it :D
