Mini Book [Forever Oslo] Inspired By Maggie Holmes

I purchased 4 mini book workshops over at Studio Calico and the last two weeks I was working on the mini book inspired by Maggie Holmes. I just love Maggies style with lots of gold, glitter and pastell colors. My mini book is about my favorite city in Norway. Oslo has such beautiful places and I really love the harbour with all the boats and Aker Brygge. Well this is what most tourists get to see, right?


I used the digital files and the Camelot add on "Excalibur". I cut out all the flowers, words and leaves and colored them with my beloved chalk inks by Prima. I used craft paint for the title page.


I took all the pictures for this mini book at two different trips to Oslo with the kids. At the first trip we visited Bygdøy and the Kontiki Museum. And yesterday at the second trip we just went to Aker Brygge, Tjuvholmen and Karl Johans Gate. At both days we had this wonderful sunny weather. Yes its summer in Norway, but only for a few days!












I really love my mini book about the summer in Oslo! Have a nice and sunny day!
