'Winter' for Les papiers de Pandore.

Hello again!! 

I hope the week end has been wonderful and that you have been able to charge those batteries so you are ready for the week ahead! I have been working this week end, so as soon as I get a couple of hours I want to start a new scrappy project! This one here is my latest page and it was made for 

Les Papiers de Pandore using the Scandinavia collection.

When I was in the UK visiting with my daughter last year we went shopping (of course) at the local Hobbycraft store and I bought some gold cardstock. I used it here to make some accents for my page.

Both the large snowflakes and the smaller rosette snowflake were made with Sizzix dies.

The larger one is  Sizzix Bigz die Stacked Snowflakes by Tim Holtz and the smaller one is by 

Paula Pascual and called Winter Borders and Rosette.

I added some of Prima Finnabair's gold mica flakes and gold micro beads. I even used some Color Bloom in gold  for extra golden accents and drops.

The cute little wooden accent  Be Free is by Prima and the round gold-rimmed tag is by 

American Crafts. I added some liquid pearl dots here and there ,-in gold of course :-P 

I hope you like my black and golden Winter page and that I'll see you here soon again! 

Take care!

''Love Winter, Love the Birds''

 Hi friends!

Today I have a page for you that I actually made with the latest Summer release from 

Les Papiers de Pandore. Just have a peek and see that they are great for this coming season too. 

I love the subtle colours here. I made this page a couple of months ago but as it was published in PaperHaus Magazine I had to wait for a while before sharing it on my blog.

 I cut some stars from the yellow houndstooth paper and added some gorgeous glitter chipboards from Papirdesign.  They are simply beautiful!!

 Once again I had a lot of fun cutting out a few things with my Silhouette cameo. I think it is a great tool, but I seem to go through the mats at high speed...

 As always (or almost) I used my sewing machine to stitch around most of my pieces.

 The cute flowers that are such a great colour to these papers are also made by Papirdesign and 

brand new for this season.

Finally a close up of my title that I stitched to the background paper. And alphabetstickers once again from papirdesign.They do these in lots of different colours and with the scandinavian letters that cannot be found with other brands.

Thanks for looking and welcome back soon again!

Hugs!!

"Snow magic" using Les Papiers de Pandore "En Attendent"

Just a quick pre-scheduled post to share a new layout with "Les Papiers de Pandore"  as I am  out of town for work.

It is my second one using Julies "En Attendent". The papers are more subdued than I am used to , but really a pleasure to work with.

-And so pretty,too!

This is what I came up with:

I cut out the large wings and glittered them with glitterglue.that makes them look a little more wintry.I layered them on top of two of my new doilies with pop dots to make them stand out a little. Then I tied a red gingham ribbon for softness.

I also added some liquid pearl, but I think it is maybe too old because when I looked at my dried 'bead's they were not really pearls any more. The liquid was too runny I guess.

I wrote my title on one of the cut out journalling spots in the collection.The glitter letters are Pink Paislee and the red letter stickers are October Afternoon.

I cut out snowflakes and also punched some. I stuck them on pop dots for dimension and a shadow effect.
I added some journaling on the back as I did not leave much space for it on the front.

That's all for now. I'll see you when I get back!!

Les Papiers de Pandore's winter collection and my layout.

I am starting to get my mojo back and last night I actually scrapped a couple of layouts. That felt great and today I wish I had time to do some more, but I have other more pressing matters to attend to.

It happens to be Beatrices birthday today and we are preparing to receive the relatives for dinner and coffee.

That's why I will do a little "post and run today"

A while back Julie Blanc of Les Papiers de Pandore revealed her new winter collection called "En attendent"

Thant means "Waiting" and we all know what we are waiting for....

It is a bit early for snowy pictures this season but I found some of Beatrice from earlier.

The collection has some subdued colours matched with some lovely pink, red,aqua and turquoise.

This is my first layout made with the new papers. 

I hope you like it!

These are the beautiful patterned papers.

And these are the stamps to go with them.

I cut the banner from the sheet containing bits and bobs and also the journaling spot.

I cut the corners off the papers and layered them. Some machine sewing holds them together.

I used my new Martha Stewart punches to make the snow flake strip.

Beatrice was so proud. 

She had made a feeder for the little birds at school and could not wait to hang it up in a tree in the garden.

I admit I went a bit wild with my new Score Pal. Making these rosette flowers is a blast and is done in a minute with that great tool. 

That is all for now my friends.

Thanks for stopping by!!
