MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Today it's Christmas Day, and yesterday was the most magical and wonderful of all days; Christmas Eve! :)) I spent it together with my beloved family, and we had a marvellous time! I got loads of great gifts, and among them were a gift from my secret scrap-santa (a scrap forum that I'm a member of arranged this) and here is what I got from her:



There's the Bitty Bag from Prima, pink embossing powder, journaling spots, clearstamps and chipboard shapes. And I just love all of it!! :)


Now I'm just going to relax, enjoy the day and eat some Christmas candy!
Happy Holidays everyone!

Christmas rubberstamps

I love to get new Christmas rubberstamps for my Christmas cards every year, and these 16 rubberstamps are the ones I got this year. Aren't they cute? :)

Finally an update!!

I can't believe how long it's been since I last updated my blog...!! But there's been so much going on in my life, that I simply haven't had the time nor strength to keep my blog updated. But now I'm hopefully back on track again! :)

Yay, Christmas is almost here! :)) My favourite time of the year! I just love to make Christmas crafts, and this year is no exception. Here is a video on how to make a simple, yet beautiful Christmas flower ornament. Don't forget to check out (and subscribe!) the rest of my YouTube channel at: http://www.youtube.com/user/annasari

How to make a fan card

Here's a video on how to make a cute fan card. :)

Fan card template

Here's the template used in the video above. I found it on a website somewhere, but unfortunately, I can't remember which one...

Note card holder with cards

Summertime usually means going around visiting friends and family. And what could be better than to bring a little handmade gift? :)

Dyeing with alcohol inks

I adore alcohol inks! They are so much fun to play with. I dye almost anything I get my hands on, including my fingers, hee hee! :D
Here's a tip on using them:

A challenge!

I've been challenged by sweet friend Hanna!
Since I'm a novis blogger, I haven't been challenged before, but here goes! :D


Three names you go by: Anna, Snuttan, Älskling (the last two are by my boyfriend only…hehe!)
Three things that frighten me: Betrayal, to lose someone dear and judgemental people.
Three things I’m wearing right now: Perfume, a dress, panties.
Three truths about me: I have a wierd sense of humour, I LOVE expensive handbags and I’m addicted to the colour pink.
Three things I really want: Loads and loads of money, a nice figure, and a job I really love.

A different kind of mini album...

Here's another type of mini album I made. What I love about these is that they are so versatile! You can make them out of any square paper, wether it's a 12" x 12" or a 2" x 2" or any size in between! :)

It's already May!

Time sure flies this time of year, doesn't it! The weather's been too hot for crafting, so I haven't got that much to show for at the moment, but here's another little scrap video, at least. ;)

My most recent project...

I saw this project on The Scrapbook Lounge (one of my favourite places!) and decided to make my own version of it. And now it hangs neatly on the wall of my scrap corner. :)

Another mini album!

As you know, I absolutely love mini albums! :) One of my favourite materials to use is brown paper bags. I just love how versatile they are!
I often get inspired by other peoples work, but this time, the original idea is all mine! :) Enjoy!

A very personal layout

This layout is about my dream to have children. I made it as a sort of "self-therapy", to ventilate my feelings. I cried a lot when I made it, but afterwards I actually felt a little better.

My first lolcat!

I just wanted to show you a lolcat that I made! :))

My scrap corner!

This is my scrap corner! This is where the magic happens. *LOL*
I like to have my stuff within my reach, so I've tried to organize everything in that manner. My corner is rather small, but I'm very happy with it. :)

Coffee filter album

I just love mini albums! I love making them, owning them, giving them away....it's always great fun! :)
Here's one I made out of coffe filters:

Accordion mini album

This is a mini accordion album I made for my mum (the word on the cover is the Swedish word for "mother") for Mother's Day.
Also, here is a tutorial I made, on how to make this little album.
Hope you'll like it! :)

The cute spot of the day!

My Scrapbook Nook Scrap Club

I just love scrap clubs! :) I love to get that surprise of scrap goodies every month. Beautiful papers, cute little embellishments, bling, colour...and every little piece is perfectly matched with everything else. :)
One of my favourite scrap clubs, is My Scrapbook Nook Scrap Club.
Here is a peak from their April kit!

Love layout

This layout is about "our" song, which is "My everything" by Michael Buble.
I used my printer for the journaling, and I printed on a transparency sheet.
I really like that effect.

Inspiration

Here is another video I made and this one is about scrapbooking inspiration.

Funny cats!

I just love funny pics like this one! :) Find more at: Lolcat!

My art journal

I had a lot of fun making this art journal, and I'm having a lot of fun using it! :) I love to try new techniques in colouring, journaling and so forth, and this is the perfect place for it.
I used a plain white spiral note book, size A4. I then decorated it with various patterned papers and embellishments, such as acrylic paint, glitterglue, Grungeboard and Fragments from Tim Holtz, chipboard, rubberstamps, bookplate and ribbon.

My first entry....

My very first entry in my new scrap blog! :)
I'm excited about finally having my own blog. I've thought about it for quite some time now, but I haven't gotten around to it. until now, that is! :)
At the moment, I have loads and loads of ideas for altering, but unfortunately, too little time. But I have managed to set some time a side to make a few projects. I'll be posting both photos and videos here, and first up is a video. Enjoy! :)
