A recipe book

The Bon Appetit collection was a subtle hints for me, as well as the fact that my personal recipe book, that I created 7 years ago, has just fallen apart after heavy use. So - surprise - I created a recipe book. I wanted to keep the recipe book relatively simple, as this is going to be used a lot. I also wanted to use plastic pages for the recipes, to protect the pages as I am baking.

Here is a recipe for the cream eggs can be found here (Norwegian recipe).

At the back of the recipe book, I have added a little shopping list book. This as been created with a bind it all. The album has a pocket at the back, where the little book slots in.

Kaisercraft's July challenge

We have a new challenge in Kaisercraft's blog. This time it's a Sketch challenge. You can make a card or a layout based on the sketch.

I created a card with the Madmoiselle collection. This is a super sweet collection, filled with sewing machines, dress forms, flowers and butterflies.

I have used sewing thread and a metal scissor behind the tag. The dressform is from the collectables.

The card has been simply decorated inside and at the back.

The first Scandinavian tram in Graphic 45 papers

Hobbykunst is moving to their shop to Ola Hegerbergsgate 8 (Rasta), behind Triaden Storsenter. The opening of the new shop was celebrated today, the 2. of July. To celebrate the opening, I have created a new model for the shop, a small model tram. 

This tram is a model of "The blue tram" with a few artistic differences. This tram is made after inspiration from an american tram at Graphic 45's stand at CHA, spring 2016, created by Laura Denison.

The tram has been made with papers from Graphic 45's collection City Scapes.

The first electrical tram we got in Skandinavia was the tram in Oslo (then called Christinaia). The tram was also called "Briskebylinjen" and went from Jernbanetorget over Briskeby and to Majorstuen. 

This tram has been built from scratch of cardboard, and decorated with paper before it was put together. The measurements have been made to scale to sort of match the real tram. 

Instead of using signs with the text from the actual tram, I have used the text from the papers. 

The wheels are from fra Tim Holtz

The tram can be seen in Hobbykunst's shop.

The first few pages in a travel Journal

This is a travel journal I created for my personal post this month. I promised to show some of the pages, finished decorated later, so here are some of the pages.

The first few pages of the travel journal:

The journal pages has been decorated with stamps,  collectables and wooden embellishments (colourd with Kaisercraft's ink pads)

This is a more detailed photo of the envelope in the cover. I have also used a few stripes with glitter cardstock.

Some of the pages in the album is acetate. They are also decorated on both sides.

On some of the pages, I have left space for personal notes. On some of the pages, I have used glitter cardstock for decoration.

I have also used some of Kaisercraft's lace on some of the pages. The wooden items here, are one of the wooden flowers, that I have dismanteled and coloured with Kaiserink.

Some of the pages are acetate. These have been decorated, so they look ok from both sides of the page.

I am adding some space for photos taken on the trip. These will be added after the trip.

Sometimes, we need thise simple cards. This is one of those cards. Simple cards are often called CAS (Clean and Simple). The 6x6 Kaisercraft paper pads are brilliant for these cards. These cards has papers that fits together and they also have diecuts you can use.

I have used Kaisercraft's Sea Breeze collection for this card. This is a fantastic collection with wonderful blue colours. I have used a lot of this collection. 

The flowers are from Petaloo. The string is from Rayher.

The inside of the card is simply decorated with panels, space to write a message and a tag from the paper pad. 

The back of the card has been simply decorated with diecuts from the paper pad.
