Sizzix Friday - in whites!

I have no idea what happened on this particular layout, but I love the final effect. Pencil is addictive as well as white space, texture and thread somewhere in between the layers... why not?
The final result is Prima nad Sizzix project- you can learn more about the dies used for this LO here, on Sizzix uk blog:) Jump in for a minute!

As you can see I can't resist and no matter what I have to, have to add some of my new embellishments here and there! Mechanicals rule (at least for me ;))
You can find here my brads, Big numbers, wood elements and Epoxy stickers from my first release with Prima. Seriously, I had fun!!!

And what do you think about this style? Is pencil as appealing to you as to me ;) ?
sending hugs!

Sunrise Sunset Collection - video presentation by Finn

Hi again friends.
As some of you know due to technical problems I couldn't broadcast on Ustream last naight... so to solve the problem I decided to make a video presentation of my Prima collection for you.
Here it is! I've decided to divide it into 2 parts - as it seem to be too long to watch and upload.
Video 2 (Mechanicals) is still in editing, but today I've got for you the Sunrise Sunset Collections with journal, stencils, stamps , flowers... all I could find in my stash!

I hope you will like both the video and my product line... I can't help it, I'm so excited about it :) Yay!
For those of you who are looking for it - here is the link to my Online store at Mixed Media Place :)

Tangled...a bit! (and lost Sizzix Friday)

There are days when everything is more complicated than it usually is or than we expect.
I've got a series of these days now so all the things I've planned to do go slower, tangled here and there in between tissues, papers, scraps, threads, forgot messages... or simply lost in translation. This is also me, another aspect of life, another story to tell. Somehow.

I'm sharing one of my "Tangled" layouts  - it is also possible to learn more about it on Sizzix blog and on Prima blog here. (there is also an inspiring color palette and "Pin Spin" challenge waiting for you!)
 I hope this layout is optimistic enough for today:) And yeas, you can find there my products too! :)

Supplies:
Prima - Mechanicals by Finn: Brads,  Small Roman Numerlas, Mini Flowers and Metal Tags. Paper flowers and 12x12 paper pad. Luminarte Paints: Primary Elements - Pigments, Silks Acrylic Glazes. Ranger: Glossy Accents, Jet Black Archival ink, Gesso. Sizzix Dies, pencil, some elements from my collection.

The second project is also Sizzix and Prima inspired... a little gift bag, tangled in white thread, with almost monochromatic color palette. I've made it using a selection of Sizzix dies and some Prima "Life Time" collection. You can see all the details and step-by-step here!

I hope to be back here soon with more inspiration for you! I hope you are better than me at the moment!
