You are fabulous! -for Papirdesign

  When I  was first invited to the Papirdesign DT  I received a huge box of paper collections old and new as well as an enormous pile of gorgeous embellishmnt of different kinds. For the page in todays post I decided to dive deep into my box and pick a mixture of all the different papers. All those beautiful designs really deserve to get on a page now and then and not be forgotten!

 I love this light blue girls page with my youngest DD.

I made this page with inspiration from the gorgeous sketch at Life. Paper. Scrapbook.

I really like the look of this paper with the weathered boards. Makes me think of Summer :-)
It actually was produced as part of a Winter-collection ... So versatile!

 I layered several patterned papers with my photos on top. The embellishments are mainly from Papirdesign,...of course,...there is so much to choose from!!

 

 The cute banners were cut from a patterned paper with banners and jeans-pockets.

 I used popdots to lift my stars up from the page.

 I used:

 Vintertid - Iskrystall (woodboards)
Herman og Emilie - Lillebror
Lykke till
Konfirmant, gutt
Chipboard ord rosa,
Chipboard stjerner blå og rosa
Båndpakke, blå
Halvperler, blå/vit
Miniroser, diverse farger

Alfabet, rosa

A published lo to share. :-)

Hi it's me again!
Today I found this among some older photos I was looking on my computer today.
I had almost forgotten about it :-)

This layout was published in the previous issue of Swedish scrapbook magazine Inzpira.

I was delighted to be included in the mag as I am not one to send in applications very often.
I think this was only my second time.
( I tried once with a lo for Scrapbook Trends, even if I knew my style was not theirs,... :-) )
I made this one for  musical theme and also after a sketch in that issue.

Here are a few close ups:

I cut the leaves from gold cardstock and also added some gold paint here and there on my page.
I white-washed the little frame for my title with gesso and smeared on a little gold to give it a more vintage look.

I used a mask with gesso to build up the background and I also added a small dash of pink mist
as well as gold arrows. The red chevrons and the teal strips are washi tapes.

Finally, a closer inspection of my 'edge-ruffles' if I may call them that.
I cut several strips and work on each one of them to achieve this distressed look.

Thanks for dropping by and thanks for your kind messages!
Hugs!

Mixed media layout in Spring colours for Papirdesign DT.

 Hi I am so happy to see you all! I want to extend a special welcome to my new followers from yesterday!! Firstly I just want to say WOW, what a response we received in relation to our very first blog hop that is happening as of yesterday through May 17 with the whole team at Papirdesign participating! Thank you so much for all your heartfelt comments about Papirdesigns great products and the lovely words said of the design team's work. 

I can only agree with it all. I am so deeply impressed by what my PD friends have come up with.

The post about the bloghop follow below so just to scroll down a bit :-)

Here's my latest 'creation' .

I am sure you can tell I enjoyed myself in making this page. It is so nice to get a bit messy.

I started out with a green patterned paper from PD and built up my background using masks, stencils, gesso and paints.

I doodled around the edges to create a carefree environment for my cute photos.

As always I have indulged in an abundance of beautiful flowers that Papirdesign makes in

sooo many lovely colours!!

Ok, this is the last close up. Promise...!  I always have such a hard time limiting myself as I just love looking at close ups on other people's blogs,...LOL! Thanks for visiting. Make sure you do the hop and become a follower to make sure you have a chance to win that magnificent PRIZE :-)

Hugs!!

A new colour challenge at Les Papiers de Pandore.

 Well ladies, we are at the 20th of the month and as the new regime says 

we have a colour challenge at the Pandore blog!

The colours are pinks and yellow combined with a lovely purple, and a white to help it all 

blend together. Actually very nice colours for a spring layout.

I have loved the earlier collections that Julie created so much that I have used up almost all the papers.

But anyway, this is what I came up with:

 The photo was taken in Cabasse, Provence, where we as a family normally spend our 

Summer holidays.The girls and I were playing boules at the track down by the brook.

And this is the inspiration that Julie has found for us. I love the colours. Of course you can choose to take other kinds of inspiration from the picture as well, as long as you use the colours as your starting point. You can for example use the outlay of the photo as a sketch. That would be fun I think!

 Some close ups of my layout:

 I cut out the butterfly from the patterned paper. The black plastic doilies are made by Maya Road.

 I took this next picture to show that my layout is not flat. This time I wet the pink paper and scrunched it up. Then I put it on top of the radiator to dry before glueing it to my page. I like the effect and the paper is more likely to keep it's shape than if you had kept it dry

I  used cheese cloth behind the corrugated cardboard and yellow mist for the  more colour. 

For extra interest I even added some splashes of 'Earl Grey' mist from Maya Road. 

I added lace for softness. This is one of my favourite photos from last Summer!

I hope you feel inspired and that maybe you will take a look at our challenge over at the Pandore blog.

Thanks for saying hello!
