Hi, I'm back to share a layout about a typical Swedish tradition celebrating Santa Lucia.
It is a festival of light taking place on December 13th. We really appreciate the lights so much during the darkest period of the year here in the northern parts of Europe.
Normally I find it hard to scrap this kind of photos, but using the new Christmas papers from Papirdesign (and some of the other beautiful products they make) really helped make a lo that I actually quite like!
I used some Spellbinders and Cheery Lynn dies and a mask by Prima Marketing.
I added some glitter to the dots and some other places in the design to make it more festive.
Pop dots behind the cut out elements help add dimension to my page. I love the sweet cherubs and the glittery chipboard stars as well as all the flowers.
I have combined the latest collection with some earlier Christmas papers.
"Mens vi venter" "Munter Melodi" has ready printed banners just for you to cut out. How neat is that!
I hope you like my Lucia page and that I was able to provide a little scrapping-inspiration on the way. Tomorrow we are back to work/school and all the regular chores!
And hopefully I can sneak in som scrappy-time just for me.
Hugs!!

Beautiful page--I love all the sweet pops of red. Are those real candles in her crown? Many people in Minnesota have Scandinavian heritage and celebrate Saint Lucia Day, but here you usually see fake candles in the crowns. I'm impressed to see real ones!

Gorgeous layout. I love traditions and this is such a beautiful one.
ReplyDeleteNår jeg tenker på St. Lucia, tenker jeg på engler, lys, hvitt og sarte farge. Men hjelpe meg så stilig det ble å bruke rødt! Nydelig håndarbeid - som vanlig og griselekre detaljer :-)
