DT work for combo at Les Papiers de Pandore

Earlier this month there was a post up on the Pandore blog sharing a few pages made by DT members for a pretty new colour combination.

 This is my page here:

 A inspiration for my page I used this latest sketch from Sketchabilities:

 And here is the beautiful colour combo:

For the grey colour I used a special technique for a relief patterned background.

Using my new Cameo I cut several scalloped borders and making them overlap  I glued them to my page underneath the photo.

 The titleword 'Remember' and the speechbubble 'I love you' were also made with the Silhouette. Flowers are mostly from Prima and Papirdesign.

 I sewed the title to my page. I find that works so well when the title is less bulky like here.

 The green canvas banner is by Prima and come plain off white. I used a mist by Studio Calico 

to add the right green colour to it.

 That's all for now.
The upcoming week will be quite a busy one with the week-long PaperHaus bloghop starting on
June 1st and my turn to post on my DT blogs coming up as well in the next days....
So I'll have plenty to share soon!

Hugs!!

A layout for Sketchabilities using Pandore's "Cherry Cherie" "It Never Rains in Monte Carlo..."

Today I have a page to share that I scrapped with the latest collection from 

Julie Blanc's Les Papiers de Pandore. It is called "Cherry Chérie". 

I scrapped the page using a sketch from Sketchabilities as inspiration.

This is my page:

 And this is the sketch from Sketchabilities:

 My take on the sketch was pretty straight forward and here you can see some close ups.

 As my journalling explains we were in Monte Carlo in Monaco on the French Riviera. We had dinner at the Café de Paris and the rain kept pouring down. I remember very well the noise made by the rain on the wonderful glass roof of the utterly posh restaurant. Outside the restaurant, and next to the famous Casino, they were selling these elegant umbrellas. The funny thing was they had a printed text claiming that "It never rains in Monte Carlo".I can so vouch for that not being completely true,...lol!

 I used a small swirl from Imaginarium Designs that I painted a suitable shade of red using my paint dabber. There will be a link to the flourish at the bottom of my post.

 Underneath my journalling is the trusted Cheery Lynn doily that is so well loved everywhere at the moment.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. Have a great week!

A Prima "Pixie Glen" layout for Sketchabilities and TCR.

It has been a while now since I posted, I think actually a whole week has passed!!

I hope you are all well on the way with all the Christmas preparations.

I now I am really, really looking forward to some quiet (hopefully....) family time soon!

I have not had much time or inclination to scrap lately, but I wanted to share this page that I made for Sketchabilities sketch #60.

I also combined it with the palette #87 from TCR this time.

Here you can see the colours of the palette.

And this is the sketch I used.

I chose  pretty papers from Prima Marketing called "Pixie Glen" and "Alla Prima"

I also used the chipboards from the "Alla Prima" coolection.

I don't have a lot more to say as I am still waiting for my PC to be returned from the repair shop and working on this borrowed laptop takes too much energy....

I will talk to you son again. Actually, I will post some photos of Beatrices new do tomorrow!!

CCG 192 Jump for Joy!!

Stunning colours for a girly page.
It is time again for the Color Combos Galore reveal.
It was really yesterday, but with all the problems with Blogger all over the world the layouts are not being blogged until today!
I used an oversized older flower from Prima. I am trying to use up all of those as I will soon get a load of new mulberry flowers sent to me.
I recently received a very much appreciated RAK from one of my TOP favourite scrappers Leeann Pearce.
The little doilies stuck behind the green cardstock is from her. You will soon see more here of my work done with her products!
When I say green cardstock I really mean that. In the pictures it looks almost aqua in colour, that is really strange! My colour is a celadon green.

I even used this sketch ( # 46) from Sketchabilities as inspiration for my layout!

Ok so the colours we were given this week are noting short of fabulous.

I really did love them at first sight but thought it might be a pretty difficult one this time.

Still, turned out the most difficult part was to find these colours in my stash. I ended up using almost all cardstock. But I suppose as I work the papers quite a lot so they are wrinkled and bent, the absence of pattern is not so obvious.
I do love my patterned papers and much prefer working with those, so this was a bit outside my comfort zone...Can you tell...? LOL!

My layout is bulging in all directions.

I even added corrugated cardboard which I love but have not used in a while.
I matted my pics with black to make them stand out more and work better with the black title. For that reason I even added a black die cut border. To make the black title show off better I painted with a white acrylic paint behind the letters.

























I used pearl maker to add a border of tiny pearls along the edge of the lilac cardstock, that I die cut using a template that I made.




























I think these pictures are cute.
Beatrice was jumping on the trampoline in the garden, and as if that was not scary enough she had to use the skipping rope at the same time.....
The deep edge puncher is by Martha Stewart..
The pretty bling swirl is by Zva Creative. Very lovely indeed!
I have been saving that but now I feel much better having used it,and besides, now I am allowed to buy a new one...lol!

















































This is my happy girl!
























And this is my constant companion and scrappingbuddy,...lol!
I think you have seen her in my pics before.
She always appears when it is time to photograph my layouts.

Yeay,...so good to be able to finish a post without interruption by Blogger!
I just hope they will give me back my comments too....
Thanks for taking a peek at my work and ramblings...
