'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!

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!!

A couple of pages for Scraps of Elegance using the August kit.

Hi, today I have a cpouple of pages to share made with the 'Raindrops on Roses' kit from 

Scraps of Elegance. These are both using the same collection but the look is totally different.

My first page is in a classic pink/black/white combination.

Here are several close ups. 

I know I love to look at close ups when I visit blogs so I'll assume you are the same :-)

 The larger flowers are Prima and all from Scraps of Elegance kits, and even the grey and black 

mini roses. The black chalkboard frames are by Melissa Frances.

I made the doilies with my Cheery Lynn dies. The title is made with a sticker from the sticker sheet. I just cut it into three pieces because that would look  better on my page.

I used one of my new Sizzix dies to make the leaves. I like the 'strict' look of them.

And now for my second page for this post:

This is a much 'softer' page and the colours are very different as well. I used the lovely script-paper from the Authentique Paper collection called 'Pretty'.

The beautiful 'Dahlias' by Petaloo come in three shades of pink, and there is a packet of smaller ones too that look so adorable.

I have used a combination of die cut butterflies using awesome Sizzix dies, and some from the collection pack by Heidi Swapp that came with my kit. They are from the collection 'Dreamy'

The title I have used is also from the Heidi Swapp ephemera pack, as well as the little sparks and the patterned butterflies. The little sentiments are from the Authentique Paper sticker sheet.

I used gesso and three different stencils for this ayout and even some distress ink through a 

stencil as well.

 The swirl was made with a Sizzix die.

That was all for today! I hope you were not too overwhelmed by the many pictures :-)

Thanks for any comments you leave me. I always love to read your feed back!

Hugs!!

And now to my page and all the close ups:

I wanted to whip out my gesso, mists, stencils etc so I used the very pink B-side of one of the patterned papers. I added gesso, stencilled and coulured to my hearts content with mists and paint.
The flat white diecut flowers with an acetate center are Sizzix 'Tattered Florals' totally unaltered.

I used a Prima Script stamp frm my stash for the background. I added some of the Heidi Swapp die cuts for decorations on top of my layered patterned papers.

 I really love the pink toned  Darjeeling flowers from Petaloo, in two different sizes (main kit and floral add on). I find them so rich in quality!

 As you can see I did QUITE a lot of work on my background. It is so much FUN!!

The cool stencil is one by Finnabair that was give to me by my sweet friend Eila.

It was some tima since I added half pearls and chrystals strewn on my page so I wanted to do that again.

Here is a better shot of the layered elements. 

Gorgeous gorgeous flowers!!

I made the title with the letters from the large sticker sheet in the embellishment add on. I really like that cool font a lot!

Thanks for coming by today!
