Papirdesign June challenge, and some pretty cards with flowers on them :-)

We have a new challenge on  the Papirdesign blog lasting no less than two months.

Here is what we say about it:

**It is finally Summer, and we have two moodboards for you for our Summer challenge. Interpret them as you like. You can be inspired by the colors, the pictures, memories or what you like. It would be nice if you tell us what inspired you when you make your project. We have an awesome price for you, that you can win if you use products from Papirdesign. You are of course free to join in anyway;-). No back linking please. Here are the moodboards and what inspired us:**

And here's mood board number two:

I created my card using mood board number one. This is what card number one looks like:

And a couple of close ups:

Apart from the awesome Papirdesign product I used some pretty amazing dies from Sizzix.

Tattered Florals
Sizzix framelits set, ovals

I used:

Forventning- En Rose til Jubilanten

Forventning - Vakre Blomster

Halvperler- rosa, hvite

Miniroser, rosa nyanser

Alfabet.- hvite

----------OOOO-----------

My card number two was made for a different post on the Papirdesign blog and not for the mood board challenge.It's a birthdaycard for a friend. 'Grattis' actually means 'congratulations' in Swedish.

The large flower is a handmade one using Papirdesign papers and the other flowers are the usual PD beauties. I misted the handmade flower to blendit  in with my colourscheme .

I use liquid pearls around the edge to enhance the feminine feel to the card.

I used:

Forventning- Håndballkamp

Forventning- Vakre blomster

Papirdesign- Englesang

Små gardenia- lysrosa

Pion- rosa

Bokstavsklistremerker- hvit

An altered sweetbox for Papirdesign and Sizzix UK

Hello all you scrappy friends!!

Today I have a decorated box to share. It's decorated with great products from Papirdesign.
 I plan to add a small gift to the inside and give it to a friend who has a birthday soon.
This was the box I made for my Sunday post on the Sizzix UK blog and so far here on my blog I only shared a small sneak.

After eating all the Turkish Delights in the box I did not feel like throwing it away so
I used paper from the Spring collection 'Forventning' to dress it up.

I cut out patterned papers a little haphazardly and glued them to the lid. 
Firstly one pattern to the top and then another pattern for the side. 

I added a strip of sequin ribbon to cover up where the papers meet.



I used some great dies by Sizzix to decorate the lid. (Links below) After cutting and glueing down a trellies pattern I added a couple of mini rosettes and then a large handmade flower on top. I used pop dots to add dimension.



A few more close ups:



I just think those larger peony buds from Papirdesign are sooo lovely!!

I hope you liked this.

 I'll leave you with some advise; ...

Eat lots of Turkish Delights (or other sweets) and you'll have your own box to alter :-) LOL!

Have a good day!

Painting Easter eggs

Hi friends! 

Today I want to share a page I made a little while back for the PaperHaus Magazine. Normally we have to wait before sharing what is included in the magazine, but as it will no longer be published it is ok
to show my page now :-)

Hei mine venner!  
Denne siden laget jeg for en tid tilbake til bladet PaperHaus Magazine, men det har nettop blitt nedlagt så jeg får lov til å vise fram siden allerede nå :-)

I wanted to scrap a couple of photos that I have been saving for some time. They were taken a few years back when all the family members at our house painted some eggs and we had  great fun.

Jeg fant noen koselige bilder fra en gang for noen år siden da alle i familien var med på å male sine egne påske egg. Det var virkelig morro!

I used mostly Papirdesign decorations as well apart from the beautiful papers. 

I am so lucky to be playing with such awesome products!! 

Jeg har brukt mest Papirdesign pynt på siden i tillegg til de fine papirene deres. 

Jeg er sååå heldig som stadig får leke/skape med de flotte PD produktene!!

I also picked out some cheese cloth and I frayed the edges so I was left with a lot of loose threads. I used this as a decoration around my photos.

Jeg fant meg noe osteklut og fikk den til å revne litt her og der så den franset seg ordentlig og brukte den som pynt runtom bildene mine.

That Easter paper with those little eggs s utterly adorable! :-)

Det der påskepapiret med de små söte eggene er bare helt bedårende! :-)

Papirdesign produkter som er brukt her:
Papir: God Påske: Påskeegg/ Mot Vår / Julehilsen: Julebakst / Forventning; En Ny Vår /
Sommerfugl i solskinn

Mini roser, cherry blossoms, alfabet (gule), chipboard ovals (hvite), dotter (oransje) 

halvperler, hvite kakeservietter

Birthday card for a friend, (Papirdesign).

Hei, i dag vil jeg vise ett lite bursdagskort jag har laget til en venn.

Jeg har klödd litt i fingrene etter å lage med de nye arkene, og har fått gjort en hel del siden de kom , men to av layoutene er fremdeles litt 'hemlige' siden de skal väre med i ett online magasin den 1 april.

Her er iallefall kortet mitt:

Hi there! Today I want to share a card made with the latest collection 'Forventning' (means 'Anticipation') from Papirdesign. I have actually made a couple of pages, but cannot share as they will be in my fave online magazine on April 1st. But without further ado; here's my card that I made for a friend:

 Og her kommer ett lite närbilde:

And a closeup:

 Ennu en gang har jeg kunnet nyte av alle de fine Papirdesign blomstene for mitt prosjekt!

Once again I enjoyed working with loads of gorgeous Papirdesign flowers!

Forventning: Gratulerer, rosa

Forcventning: Jacob og Jenny

Geranium rosa pakke, 

Chipboard, jente

New collection *Forventning* from Papirdesign layout 'Family'

Idag har jeg laget en side i nydelige lilla toner med de nye arkene fra serien 'Forventning'.

De droppet ned i postkassa igår og jeg var jo selvfölgelig nödt til å 'pröve dem' med det samme. 

-Det blir kanskje litt som når mannen får en ny bil eller noe sånt.
-Og en flott måte å feire bursdagen min i dag!!

I hvert fall er det sånn att duften av nye papir er noe helt spesiellt :-)

Today I want to share a page with you that I made with the fresh from the printers new 
collection 'Forventning' I picked some papers in a fave shad of purple/lilac.
I received these yesterday and just 'had to' use them right away. 
What a great way to celebrate my birthday today!
There is something very attractive about the smell of newly printed papers.

Dessuten fikk jeg rotet litt blandt blomsterstäsjen og fant mye fint som passet.
Men det er jo ikke så rart med det enorme utvalget fra Papirdesign!!

I even dived into my flowerstash and came up with some beauties. papirdesign really 
has a large selection!!

Ett chipboardord  fikk utgjöre tittel for min layout og jeg synes at den passer veldig godt til både blomster og herlige papir.

The chipboard title is also by Papirdesign and I love the font that goes so well with the 
feel of my page.

 Jeg brukte ett lilla flöyelsband fra en Papirdesign båndpakke.

I used a piece of lilac ribbon also by papirdesign for my bow.

Nytt for denne sesongen er att papirdesign også har kakeservietter, som også kalles doilies.
De finns i to störrelser og den lille pakken har ti styker hver av fargene rosa, röd og hvit.
Den större störrelsen finns med 30 herlige hvite doilies.

New this season from Papirdesign is also that they have doilies. They are available in two sizes and each have ten pieces each of the colours pink, red and white.

Jeg tar med ett par extra blder på de fine dekorasjonene her.

A couple more close ups of my embellishments.
