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.

Jeg tar med ett par extra blder på de fine dekorasjonene her.

A couple more close ups of my embellishments.

For SATW using Les papiers de Pandore collection 'Crochetin'.

Hello and happy Sunday to you! Hopefully your week end has been a good one so far!!

Here is a page I made as part of the DT for Les Papiers de Pandore, my fave French manufacturer.
It is kind of an old fashioned page using different paper techniques and not so much the different mists that are on almost all the scrapbook pages at the moment. I LOVE to use those too, but today I wanted to show off the beautiful products I am lucky to work with!

Here are some closeups of the details on my page:

I was inspired by the February mood board at Scrap Around the World.

I loved the yummy layers of beautiful colours and the pink and yellow tones.

I wanted to create something frilly and feminine to go with it.

You still have a few days to enter before they close this months challenge.

Why not give it a go...? You can read all about it on the blog HERE.

Thanks for dropping by.

Hugs!!

A couple of Inkido shares.....

This is was the page that I made for my recent post on the Inkido blog. I enjoyed myself mixing a few different collections, old and new. I find they mix well as the designs are mostly feminine and the colours mostly matcth beautifully.

Here are some photos with closeups of my details.

I cut out the sweet vintage picture from one of the patterned papers. And I used my Silhouette

Cameo for the lamp-post diecut.

We also had a Love/Valentines feature on the Inkido blog a couple of days agoand my contribution was a set of mixed media tags:

I used gesso, ink and stamping to add texture to my tags.

I painted some of the stamped butterflies with 'Silks' colour Pink Grapefruit.

And here are a few shots of the tags individually.

I am so happy to see you today and I hope you're having a have a lovely day!! <3

I used the beautiful February kit from Scraps of Elegance 'Love Always' to make my page.

The papers are by MME collection 'Heirloom'. The chipboard heartframe was made especially for SOE by Leaky Shed. The small 'rose twigs I made with the Magnolia Chandelier Garland Pink & Light Pinkand some Kaisercraft roses in pink and black.
