A summery page in December.

Hi to all my sweet internet friends!

Today I have a new post up on the Sizzix blog and this time it is a page. I used papers from the Polish manufacturer Lemoncraft and also a chipboard word by Blue Fern Studios.

'On My Own' using Marion Smith Designs 'Posh' collection

Hi there! I  hope you are all well and rested after all the Christmas festivities :-) 

I am sorting out 'my house' and throwing things away and the whole place is a bit of a mess at the moment, but hopefully things will be better soon,....

I have a page to share today that I made with a previous kit from Scraps of Elegance. 

The papers and some of the embellishments are by Marion Smith Designs. 

It's all very yummy, and the collection is called 'Posh'.

I have mixed up the patterns quite a bit and added beautiful Prima Marketing flowers in matching colours. The small hanging clock,(that I painted with gesso) is by Marion Smith as well as the fresh white resin rose above the photo. ( Junque & Gems collection)

You may have noticed thet I have scrapped quite a few photos of me lately,........ 

They are all from a photo session we had over in Wales when I was invited to the Sizzix European HQ. Paula Pascual, who is a Sizzix blogger as well as designs dies for them,offered to photograph myself and two of the other girls. We had a good laugh and a thoroughly enjoyable time! I am pleased with how the photos turned out.

 Talking about Sizzix,...I used the 'Scalloped circle' here as well as the greenery from 'English Garden' framelits set.

Most of the Prima flowers here are from the 'Cigar Box Secrets' collection.

As you may have seen, I will be part of the awesome Blue Fern Studios team for 2015 

and I have used some of their chipboards on this page.  As you can see I used the clock and clockhands as well as the butterfly.

I did a lot of layering on this page and it was quite fun to make.

I painted around some of the design elements with gesso to calm the patterns a little and in that way make certain parts stand out more. 

I hope you like my page and  I really enjoyed making something that has nothing whatsoever to do with the season. -Actually today was the first day we had  'real Winter' this year. 

For the first time we woke up to some snow and it was actually 10 degrees below zero (centigrade), -so really cold for us here in the southern parts of Sweden :-)

Take care and I'll see you soon again!

A 'kitty-page ' for Scraps of Elegance kits using Graphic 45's 'Raining Cats and Dogs'

 Hi, I hope you are all well and relaxed as we near one of the most important holidays of the year.

Here in Sweden we actually celebrate the 24th, which is Christmas Eve , as opposed to many of you who will say that Christmas is really on December 25th. I cannot say that I am ready for it, but with all the changes around here I honestly don't expect Christmas to be anything like it used to. 

We shall just hope that next year has a lot of good things waiting for my girls and me:-)

Today I have one more page to share from the Scraps of Elegance December kit; 'Ever True'

This time I used the lovely Graphic 45 products from their recent collection 'Raining Cats and Dogs' 

The collection is so great for all kinds of pages, but especially pages about those little pets 

of ours that brighten up even the greyest of days.

Our little 'Miss Lady' is here completely dolled up in an accessory that she most certainly thinks very fitting. 

These cute little crowns are included in the kit.

Lots of great Graphic 45 touches here. I used both stickers and chipboard by them, as well as a tag from some recent clothing that I bought. (The black one).

There are always a ot of pretty flowers in the kit and floral add on. 

These are by Prima Marketing from the 'Cigar Box Secrets' collection. 

Finally a close up of the central part of my page that shows how I have layered different elements of paper and embellishments. Behind the photo are a couple of  pages from the 3x4 ATC block that was also included in my kit.

As you see there is so much goodness in these kits that Melinda so expertly puts together for us. 

The December kit is actually my last one from Scraps of Elegance and I shall surely miss finding them in my mailbox. I have truly enjoyed my year on the SOE team.

Hugs!!
