A 'kitty-page ' for Scraps of Elegance kits using Graphic 45's 'Raining Cats and Dogs'

 Hi, I hope you are all well and relaxed as we near one of the most important holidays of the year.

Here in Sweden we actually celebrate the 24th, which is Christmas Eve , as opposed to many of you who will say that Christmas is really on December 25th. I cannot say that I am ready for it, but with all the changes around here I honestly don't expect Christmas to be anything like it used to. 

We shall just hope that next year has a lot of good things waiting for my girls and me:-)

Today I have one more page to share from the Scraps of Elegance December kit; 'Ever True'

This time I used the lovely Graphic 45 products from their recent collection 'Raining Cats and Dogs' 

The collection is so great for all kinds of pages, but especially pages about those little pets 

of ours that brighten up even the greyest of days.

Our little 'Miss Lady' is here completely dolled up in an accessory that she most certainly thinks very fitting. 

These cute little crowns are included in the kit.

Lots of great Graphic 45 touches here. I used both stickers and chipboard by them, as well as a tag from some recent clothing that I bought. (The black one).

There are always a ot of pretty flowers in the kit and floral add on. 

These are by Prima Marketing from the 'Cigar Box Secrets' collection. 

Finally a close up of the central part of my page that shows how I have layered different elements of paper and embellishments. Behind the photo are a couple of  pages from the 3x4 ATC block that was also included in my kit.

As you see there is so much goodness in these kits that Melinda so expertly puts together for us. 

The December kit is actually my last one from Scraps of Elegance and I shall surely miss finding them in my mailbox. I have truly enjoyed my year on the SOE team.

Hugs!!

'Copenhagen' using Scraps of Elegance December kit 'Ever True'

Hi, I hope you are all happy and enjoying all the preparations for the holidays. 

I know I am certainly keeping busy as I am moving from my large house this new year as well as trying to find time for a little celebtration in between! 

Please keep me in your thoughts that all will go well :-)

Today I want to share with you a page I made with the new lovely kit from Scraps of Elegance. It is actually my last kit from SOE and I already know I'm going to miss them :-)

Also it features a photo of me, which is quite a rare thing :-)

And here is a picture of the monthly kit. 

I am always so delighted when it arrives as the content is so beautiful. 

The collections are Prima's 'Cigar Box Memories' and Graphic 45's 'Raining Cats and Dogs'

And now for a couple of closeups:

I used the flowers from the 'Cigar Box Secrets' and also made a tag with the ATC block.

The large scallopped circle was made with a Sizzix die 

I used a Prima wooden leaf from a previous kit and some stickers from G45 'Raining Cats and Dogs ' collection.

Together with the lovely Prima rose here is also a piece of chipboard from G45 'Raining Cats and Dogs ' collection.

And finally a shot to show how I layered it all on top of eachother.

I hope yopu liked todays project. Have a great week end!!

Hugs!

A couple of pages for Scraps of Elegance using Blue Fern Studios 'Montage'.

Hi there.

Busy busy busy,.... Thought I'd share two pages I made with the gorgeous November kit from my fave kit club Scraps of Elegance. This month we got lots of pretty  papers from Blue Fern Studios and flowers from Prima as well as pretty resins etc. So much to play with!

I wanted to post these earlier, but you won't believe what grey and dreary days we've had. It's been impossible to get a good shot for weeks! 

In November so far we have only had two, yes 2,.....-TWO hours of sun!! (And even then it was not much sun to speak of,....) Can you imagine?!

I used the Montage line from Blue Fern Studios from the kit to make my pages. 

Here are a few close ups.

The gorgeous blooms here are by Prima and Petaloo. 

You always get the best brands in the SOE kits!!

I thought I'd share a photo of the kit for you:

Isn't it gorgeous? And here are a couple of the add ons too:

Here is the patterned paper add on:

And the embellishment add on:

And we mustn't forget the flower add on, -always my fave ;-)

And now for my second page:

The gorgeous blue rose is from a previous kit and made by Prima for the Seashoere collection.

For my title I just took one of the printed cards from a 12x12 sheet and divided it in two.

Such a lovely quote for my bright and beautiful daughter.

Oh yes, and this picture was taken in a large sunflower field in the south of France some three or four years ago. It was such a glorious sight. 

We managed to find lavender fields too, which I of course LOVED!!

That was all for today!! Hope you are enjoying a nice and restful week end!! 

Hugs!

Another page with the Scraps of Elegance October kit.

The Bo Bunny papers in the kit belong to the 'Madeleine' collection and they are sooo pretty!

This page features a photo of my sister and me that we took on our holiday this Summer. 

We went to the Swedish island of Öland, which is kind of a Swedish summer paradise with

 the most hours of sun in the whole country. 

It was beautiful!

The wide lace from the kit is really pretty. For this project I wanted to dye it to make it a strong accent on my page. I used mist from my stash to do it.

Did you see the large roses I used here?  

They are very feminine and pretty and look so nice with the lace. 

As always Melinda put together a beautiful kit for us!!

I cut a couple of dainty butterflies using the Sizzix /Prima butterfly die Winged Beauties. 

 That's all for now. I hope you enjoyed my page!

'Bo Bunny 'Madeleine' for 'Scraps of Elegance' kits.

Hi!

A while ago I received my gorgeous October kit from Scraps of Elegance containing an abundance of beautiful papers from Bo Bunny and Marion Smith. 

Lots of flowers from Prima and Bo Bunny, too.

Here is another one of my pages:

I spent quite some time working on my background, unfortunately it does not photograph very well.

I used quite a few of the Bo Bunny Madeleine diecuts and the sticker sheet to embellish my page. 

That little birdcages is so cute.

 The grid stamp is made by Kaiser Craft and from my stash as is the mix of different mists and 

paints that I used here.

These cute little flower beauties were sent as a a gift from my very sweet and utterly adorable 

friend  Eila Sandberg. She is such a kind and generous person.

I love the largish purple rose from Prima. Those will pack a punch on any page.

That's all for now. Thanks for brightening my days with yuor visits and kind comments! <3 <3

Wonderful Moments' using 'Scraps of Elegance October kit 'Pretty Things'.

Today I have a first page to share that I made with the October kit from Scraps of Elegance.

The papers I used  belong to the lovely 'Madeleine' collection from Bo Bunny. 

I think they have produced a lot of very pretty collectios lately and have quickly become 

one of my favourite manufacturers at the moment.

 In addition to the papers I have used some flowers, bling stones, die cuts, stickers and brads from Bo Bunny on this page. And all of those is included in the kit/add on

 This is a very layered page. I used a lot of the diecuts to build up all the layers.

 The photo was taken a couple of years ago at the family summer house in the South of France. 

With the French captions on the papers I thought that was very suitable :-)

This kit is called 'Pretty Things',... and that's no lie I'm telling you! 

There are sooo many nice elements in thes kit you have to see it! just take a look here!

My latest page for Scraps of Elegance kit club and a couple of tags

Hi there! 

I would like to share the latest of my projects I did for Scraps of Elegance kit club this month. Here is a page I made with the beautiful papers from Blue Fern Studio:

 The papers are from the 'Garden' collection.

I used a large punch to cut a round shape of my photo and framed it with a die cut doily from the pink sheet of Bazzil paper in the kit.

I love to look at all those gorgeopus flowers. Many are from this months kit, some from the previous one and one or two are from my stash. I also fussy cut some of the pretty cabbage roses from the blue trellis paper in the kit. These I added to my long string of flowers at the bottom and at the top.

I used one of my Sizzix Frameworks dies for the Trellis pattern in brown colour. 

The quote is from the die cut shapes by Authentique Papers in the kit.

 And just as a reminder of our monthly kit 'Mary's Song' here's the picture of it again:

I also made a couple of tags earlier that I have not shared here on the blog.

 

I used the stencil by Prima Marketing that came in the kit. The light green leaves are made with a Sizzix die/stamp set that I use a lot called English garden.

Most of the flowers on the tags are from the kit as are the papers as well.

The gorgeous butterfly is by Reneabouquets and there are always a couple of those in the 

Scraps of Elegance kits. That's one of the awesome things about it!!
