A Milan Moment.

Hello again.Time to share my latest creation for Inkido! 

I made a new page using the Beautiful Memories collection.

The picture is from a trip we made to wonderful Milan a few years back taken in front of the impressing Milan Cathedral. It was really a business trip but we managed to bring our daughters with us to spend some time with them there. There are so many beautiful things to see around the Piazza and so many great coffees to be had :-) And probably Europe's most expensive ice cream on Piazza del Duomo

This is the view from the cafe right oposite the majestic Cathedral.



And here are some close ups of my page for you:



 I made some different flowers using my favourite Sizzix flower die and one of the pretty Inkido papers.

 

 I used my border punches to give the papers  and layers an even more feminine expression.



Here you can see how well these papers go together. The colours are so soft and gorgeous.
I used a metal 'Junkyard Findings' by Ingvild Bolme called 'Antique Garden Sink', as well as some
beautiful Prima flowers.

 

Thanks for dropping by and thanks for looking. I hope you like my Milan page :-)

My first page using the new Inkido collection 'Happy Christmas'.

'Liten tomte tittar ut' is the title of this new page and it is about Beatrice wearing her long Santa-hat that we had been looking to buy in so many places before we found it.

I used the latest beautiful collection from Inkido called ''Happy Christmas'' for this page.

 The small chipboard is from Imaginarium Designs, and the large one is from Dusty Attic.

 I made my title using the Silhouette Cameo. It has become such a fun tool to play wth!

I wanted to use the pretty tags on my page and ended up attatching them as an embellishment 

with a large bow.

I just wanted to get this post up before leaving for work this morning. 

I feel there is no need for a lot of words as there are so many pictures, and we all know that a picture says more than a 1000 words :-) LOL!

Have a good day everyone!!

'You are my Happy' for Papirdesign

Hi, I'm back to share a little something I made recently for Norwegian Papirdesign.
I have been a bit of a slacker during August and have not posted much here on my personal blog:-) .

I picked out an older photo of my youngest and wanted to make a page with fall feling to it. Hopefully we will still have some good Summer-days, but early mornings you can definitely feel a little nip in the air that tells us the seasons will change soon.

I have used a mix of older and newer collections here.

That is one of the many good things about Papirdesign; it all goes together so well :-)

I think you can see that I based my design on this lovely sketch from Cest Maqnifique.

I did not bother so very much that everything would be in the right position as I wanted a more 

carefree feel to the page. Although I did start out using a sketch.

A closer look:

Of course I had to use some of the gorgeous mini roses!!

For my title I used the lovely alphabetsickers in two different colours.

Apart from the roses and stickers I used mainly two sheets of papers and they are:

PD 10532 Treverk

PD12648 Sommerfugler

Klem/ Hugs,

Bente

Winner of my RAK for the Spring Fling hop and a card for baptism.

Hi! Just a quick post today with a card I made for a baptism of a beautiful baby girl last Saturday.

I wanted to have a handmande card, and was able to make one really quick one using some of my scraps and a few embellies. I used the collection 'Beautiful Memories ' from Inkido which has quite a few designs that are perfect for these occations. The baby-image was cut from one of the sheets that has so many of these similar designs. Really quite a perfect supply to have at home if you have many babies 'near you'.

This card is up on the Inkido blog today together with a layout that I shared a few days ago as my contribution to the Scrap 4 Help challenge for March

Scroll down to the previous post if you would like to see more close ups of this one .-)

We also have a challenge at the Inkido blog right now, hosted by Kelly.
