Layout for Blue Fern Studios April post.

HI there!
I hope you all enjoyed the shadowbox from my April post on the Blue Fern Studiosblog! The second project that I shared is a layout, which as you know is what I would normally make. :-)

I used several of the gorgeous papers from the 'Deja Vu' collection, Nowadays I really like working with the colour purple.(As opposed to when I first started scrapping when I found it such a

hard colour to work with). I just love the purple/yellow combo here.

To emphasize the purple tone of the papers I decided to paint my chipboards purple as well.

I used part of the large chickenwirepurple panel and Deja Vu dangles.

I used most of the papers in the collection and had so much fun trying out what papers to mix and match. I distressed and layered some of the journalling cards in the center as a mat for my photo.

The photo is one of the series that was taken by the talented Paula Pascual when we met at Sizzix

in Wales last Summer. It was fun!

I also coloured some of the flowers with paint to make them match better. As most of my stuff is in boxes at the moment due to the move I am really challenged to find enough other supplies to complement what I have. That's why I had to paint my flowers ;-) It is really a strain on Mrs. Mojo!
If you look closely you might even notice I used some of the new Deja Vu stamps. ;-)

Finally I have a page for you that I made a little while ago, -actually at the end of last month.

It was done for the Blue Fern Studios monthly sketch challenge.

And below is the page that I made with inspiration from the above sketch.

Okay, that's all for now!

Thank you for checking out Blue Fern Studios and my projects.

See you next month!

New collection Forventning from Papirdesign layout 'Family'

Idag har jeg laget en side i nydelige lilla toner med de nye arkene fra serien 'Forventning'.

De droppet ned i postkassa igår og jeg var jo selvfölgelig nödt til å 'pröve dem' med det samme.

-Det blir kanskje litt som når mannen får en ny bil eller noe sånt.
-Og en flott måte å feire bursdagen min i dag!!

I hvert fall er det sånn att duften av nye papir er noe helt spesiellt :-)

Today I want to share a page with you that I made with the fresh from the printers new
collection 'Forventning' I picked some papers in a fave shad of purple/lilac.
I received these yesterday and just 'had to' use them right away.
What a great way to celebrate my birthday today!
There is something very attractive about the smell of newly printed papers.

Dessuten fikk jeg rotet litt blandt blomsterstäsjen og fant mye fint som passet.
Men det er jo ikke så rart med det enorme utvalget fra Papirdesign!!

I even dived into my flowerstash and came up with some beauties. papirdesign really
has a large selection!!

Ett chipboardord fikk utgjöre tittel for min layout og jeg synes at den passer veldig godt til både blomster og herlige papir.

The chipboard title is also by Papirdesign and I love the font that goes so well with the
feel of my page.

Jeg brukte ett lilla flöyelsband fra en Papirdesign båndpakke.

I used a piece of lilac ribbon also by papirdesign for my bow.

Nytt for denne sesongen er att papirdesign også har kakeservietter, som også kalles doilies.
De finns i to störrelser og den lille pakken har ti styker hver av fargene rosa, röd og hvit.
Den större störrelsen finns med 30 herlige hvite doilies.

New this season from Papirdesign is also that they have doilies. They are available in two sizes and each have ten pieces each of the colours pink, red and white.
