''My Girls'' made for Papirdesign and PaperHaus Magazine Christmas Issue.

Hi! Today I just have a quick share of my page for the colour combo in the Winter/Christmas issue of the popular online magazine PaperHaus.

Some lovely festive colours in the traditional hues this time.

Here is what I made:

 

I used a lot of goodies from Papirdesign, a wonderful brand from Norway, on this page.

The papers are from the latest Christmas collection called 'Julehilsen' (i.e. 'Christmas Greetings')

And so are most of the other elements on the page. Papirdesign have a large array of paper floweers to complement any page.

Here you can see some of the dimension of my page. 

I am afraid the weather is utterly dreary outside and I have not been able to get a good shot. I promise this actually looks so much better IRL!

The picture was taken a few years back and its kind of fun to see how different the girls look, especially the eldest one :-)

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the frames and doilies I have used here. 

I actually layered two frames on top of eachother for a special effect. 

I like how it turned out!

I hope you enjoyed some  Christmas-inspiration today. 

I guess by now we'll all have lots of brand new sparkly  photos from this recent holiday to scrap. 

I am so looking forward to seeing lots of beautiful pages all over the internet!!

Hugs!!

PaperHaus Winter Issue reveal!!

Today is the  reveal of the Winter edition of the PaperHaus magazine. I promise you it is just as fabulous as the previous editions have been and here is the gorgeous cover for you: 

There will be a short bloghop every day to introduce the new magazine and I will be on the hop on day 7. But I still have a project from the previous edition that I have not shared yet so I think this isa good opportnity to do so:

This was for the PaperHues in the Fall Issue.

HERE is a LINK to the latest magazine.

One of my layouts from the Spring Issue of PaperHaus Magazine.

Hi again!!

A month has passed and we are allowed to share the projects we made for the latest PaperHaus Magazine. I had two layouts and one off the page project in this one. Today I will show you what I made for the PaperHues section.

I had a lot of fun (..and a lot of work,too....) creating the layered paper 'frame' around my layout.
I used a couple of sheets of white cardstock and cut strips from them. I crumbled and stretched my papers several times to achieve this worn look and stapled the strips to the page while  layering them. To stiffen them I brushed them many times with paint and gesso to create a hold. I also added some cheese cloth etc between the layers for a more varied look.
I can assure you this looks much more interesting IRL!! LOL!

The base of the lo is recykled corrugated cardboard from a box. I painted some of the colours from the palette onto the kraft but did not cover it completely

I embellished with some mistable banners from Prima as well as some other Prima goodies. The small chipboard frame is made by Imaginarium Designs.

Most of my flowers are by Prima but even a few from my stash. I love the large lilac flower that is from an older collection.

I used a border punch to create the inner frame and added a coral coloured pearl trim to it. I love the femininity it denotes. I also used some cream liquid pearl to add to the effect.

I hope you enjoyed a closer look at my lo.

In the same issue of the magazine was a frame that I originally did for a tutorial at My Scrapbook Nook. In the mag it looked a bit distorted as the dimensions were wrong.
Here you can see  it is perfectly square. :-)

Thanks for dropping by!
 Be sure to come back soon as I have a few more things to share. I have made  few lo's that I have not been able to share yet.
