Air Mail tags by Riikka Kovasin


Hello! It’s Riikka here today to share a couple of tags I made. For these two I drew inspiration from the Airmail collection, but as usual, mixed in several others. My other inspiration came from the different tags and I ended up using them to make my background, backing my focal point and even adding two to the foreground as…

Picture this in the limelight by Riikka Kovasin


Hello again! It’s Riikka Kovasin here today sharing a layout this time. I was inspired by stripes for this layout and decided to use watercolor and a big flat brush to create some to my page. The photo in the layout is my husband, trying a new instrument in a music happening some years ago. Not before long the similar…

Believe in joy and happiness by Riikka Kovasin


Hello there everyone! It’s Riikka here again with a little project. This time I did some ATCs and wanted them to have some color and happiness in them.

Hazy Days by Riikka Kovasin


Hi there! It’s Riikka here today with a journal page. I used “Hazy Days” in this make and thought to include even the collection label to my page.

So, if you like to see how I made the page, please read on and see the video further down the post. I normally journal about happy things and tend to keep my other projects happy as…

Sparkling layout by Riikka Kovasin


Hello there and Happy New Year 2020! This sparkling layout got its inspiration from the altered palette I’m holding in the picture. Or rather, I wanted to document the moment and chose to do it with a bit similar layers and embellishments as I used in the palette. The man beside me in the picture is Andi Kravljaca, a Swedish singer.…

Holiday Mail by Riikka


Hi there! It’s Riikka here again. This time I went with a Holiday themed project. Christmas is closing in and one of the important traditions about the Holiday for our family is sending out Christmas cards. I usually make a bunch of cards using the same design, but along the October and November I might do some cards as design…
