Lemoncraft *Fly Away*.

As I mentioned in my previous post I have said good bye to the Lemoncraft team and am cutting down on DT obligations.It feels good and I am looking forward to some well needed extra time.

That said I still have one page more to share with you:

I have used two different collections on this romantic page: Heart Painted and House of Roses.

I fussy cut around the patterned paper t make a frame for the background paper of my page. 

I also fussycut some of the rose- and butterfly elements as well as some roses.

The dainty little cage, painted pink for the occation is by Blue Fern Studios and part of a set. I painted it so it would match the dark pink butterfly perfectly.

I have used an array of different flowers here. 

The gorgeous, large, open roses are by I am Roses, the Thai manufacturer.

The wooden elements are by Prima Marketing from their Free Spirit collection and I have added a couple. They come in a cute little box with six different designs. An added bonus is that when the box ix empty it serves as a super cute mini shadowbox to be altered.

The flair buttons are by Lemoncraft as well and all the collections have matching designs. 

They have a huge variety of other flair buttons in all styles and colours!

That's all for now. Thanks for checking out my page today. 

Enjoy the rest of your week end!!

*Smile* -Lemoncraft *House of Roses*

Hi! Today I have a new page to share and it's one of my very last pages as a DT member for Lemoncraft company. I have been part of that DT for the past year now and decided not to reapply when my term was up. It's not that I don't love the products, because I really think they are awesome, 

and I have loved every minute of it. -But I have decided to 'downsize' a little. I need less of deadlines and more 'me-time'. I don't know if that makes sense to you, but maybe when the time is right I will try out for new teams and we'll see how it goes ..) I still have a couple of ongoing commitments and I will be posting regularily for them of course :-)

I quite love this page. 

I don't feel that way about my own work very often, but the combination of the beautiful 'House of Roses' papers and the gorgeous Blue Fern Studios chipboards is very appealing to me. 

I also like the photo of me (which is even more rare ,...LOL) and it was taken by the multi talented Paula Pascual. (She also designs the most fabulous dies for Sizzix as well as stamps...)

I painted the chippies with a beige acrylic paint.  I also drybrushed some acrylic paint in beige, pink and white on that beautifulbackground paper.

I got some lovely flowers from 'I Am Roses' and I just love the adorable larger open roses. They come in lots of colours.

I based one of my clusters on top of the large corner-swirl by Blue Fern Studios.The fussy cut butterflies are by Lemoncraft as are the cute metal buttons.

Here are some more close ups:

Thanks for dropping by. I hope to see you again here soon!

'Moments in Time' for Lemoncraft, using 'Heart painted'

I was so happy when I received the latest papers that Anna/Brises created for us. 

Surely you all agree it is simply a beautiful and well composed collection! 

As usual I have prepared a couple of scrapbookinglayouts to show you how I use them. 

Here's my first page with a picture of my youngest daughter and our little cat who thinks she is the boss of our house :-)

 Here are a few close ups of some details.

In the picture above you can see the beautiful white fabric-flower from Lemoncraft. It has some lovely stones in the center to make it something extra.
The large bloom in the picture below is by Prima Marketing.

I used a couple of Sizzix dies here, The round one is the gorgeous scallop circle, which happens to be one of my real favourites!!  I also used the row of scallops that came with the starter set of the new Big Shot Plus. (Love, love, LOVE it!! See it HERE )
Everything else was fussy cut from the Lemoncraft patterned papers.
I spent quite a while in front of the TV cutting out pretty designs.

In the background there is some mixed media light going on. The title is by Blue Fern Studios as is also the dainty little caige that I painted a neutral dark green colour.

Layering cute suplies is so much fun!
The largish butterfly in the picture below is cut out and glued down with a pop dot.

Thanks for looking!

Have a great week! <3 <3 <3

A couple of pages for Lemoncraft using 'Heart painted'.

Hello to all my friends out there!
I hope you are all having a lovely relaxing Easter break.

A short while ago I received the latest collection 'HeartPainted' and was so delighted with the beautiful and feminine look of these papers and embellishments. 

My fingers were itching to get started, and here is what I made:

 I used pretty Lemoncraft flowers from the 'Heart Painted' collection as well as some brads and a pin.

I used the Sizzix Bigz die  Garden greens  for my leaves.
I used another Sizzix die as a base for my cluster in the upper right corner, Ornate Labels.
(Click on the names and the link will take you to the dies.)

I painted my beautiful frame from Blue Fern Studios in  matching green colour and
added some enamel dots from Papirdesign for extra interest.

My second page features a photo of myself taken by a scrapbook-friend that I had the pleasure to meet in Wales last year. I used a Sizzix Tim Holtz long die 'Butterfly frenzy' for the many butterflies.
(The links will take you to the dies)

 I used a Sizzix Basic project life style die set to create a grid as a base for my photo.
I cut a larger size to serve as a mat for my picture.The chipboard word 'Happy' is part of a set and made by Blue Fern Studios. The circle/frame is also part of a set and it's called Brick Rings.

Even here I used beautiful Lemoncraft flowers and brads.
So beautiful and feminine looking! I also added a few of Primas gorgeous blooms.

Thanks for looking! :-)
