My first post for Polish company Lemoncraft

Today I am happy to share the two very first pages I made with the delightful products from the Polish manufacturer Lemoncraft. I made two pages for this inaugural post and they are pretty different in style and execution. Mostly I used the latest collection 'Forget Me Not'.

I created a shabby page with a picture of our family cat. She is such a cutie!

 I cut strips of paper and stitched them to the patterned paper. Then I painted them with mist and gesso  as well as distressed them.

   

On my background I used gesso and a stencil as well as mist and paint. For extra decoration I added liquid pearls.

And now for my second page which is more romantic and 'elegant' compared to the previous one.

The detailed Lemoncraft papers are excellent for fussy cutting. That is one of the things I like so much about them,...apart from being beautiful of course... I took advantage of the patterns of the different papers to create this page. The different designs really go so well together.

Some close ups of this page:

 I layered elements from different papers in the 'Forget Me Not' collection and used pop dots between some layers. I used one of the new Sizzix dies to make some flowers and butterfies as well.

I cut out one of the labels from the A4 sheet with matching designs.
Then I emellished it with some liquid pearl and used it as my title spot.

One of my buttons had a pretty butterfly on it so I thought it would look good with all the other butterflies.

 Thank you for visiting us here on the Lemoncraft blog today! Hope to see you soon again!

Some more Scrapcake

 Just a quick post today to share another one of my ScrapCake layouts that I came across.

 Even on this page there is a lot of cutting and wielding of craft knife!

The photos were taken by photographer Gisela Ackerup.

 I used a few Prima flowers of course, but a lot of the embellishments here are hand made.The rosette flower and the layered strips are cut from the patterned papers.The papers speak loud on this layout and I just love papers with a trellies pattern!

The title 'Goding' means something like 'Cutie' or 'Sweetie'.

I like the effect of cutting away the white paper in most of the squares but not in all. 

Looks more 'random'....

 I like to add pop dots to my layers. I think it makes the lo more tactile.

Ok, as I said,...just a quick post. 

I hope you like my lo. I think it's been hiding away for more than a year....!

Hugs, Bente!

'My lovelies'. A page and a cute sketch made from it on the Pandore blog today!

I would like to tell you that  one of my pages is up at the "Les Papiers de Pandore" blog.
It is for the monthly sketch feature that we have on the 10th each month.

Without further ado here is the page and a very pretty and versatile sketch to go with it:

To create my page I used the "Invitation" collection and just added a few pretty flowers and buttons.
I also used two colours of mist (Sprinklers by "October Afternoon").

I think the almost symmetrical design here is quite appealing.

If you play along please share your pages on the Pandore FB page so we can all enjoy them.

                   I love the splashes of colour added by the distressed paper strips and the buttons.

These photos were taken several years ago at a local beach and have been laying on my desk for a long time. I am happy that I finally got round to  scrapping  them. 

Do you have photos too laying around your scrap space that you want to scrap but keep saving for later?. I know I do that quite a lot...

One of my favourite,relaxing things to do as part of my scrapbooking routine is to cut out a few pretty designs from patterned paper. "Invitation" has some lovely  patterns that are perfect for cutting out to use as embellishments on your layout. All the butterflies here are cut from one sheet.

                          In the next photos I just want to show my layering more close up.

And also a couple of photos showing some of the embellisments....The brown letter stickers were
made by "Pink Paislee" and the pink ones are by "Websters Pages!"

I hope you enjoyed my page and the Pandore goodness!
Hope to see you again soon!
