A mini album using mainly Pink Paislee goodies.

       It is no secret that I love the gorgeous products from Pink Paislee and am one of the first in line
                                as well, when it comes to ordering their warehouse boxes.
                         They are so brim filled that it is difficult to find ways to use it all up. I

I have long wanted to start making more mini albums and this is the first one ever that I started and finished!! LOL!

I had a whole bunch of cute photos of Beatrice and little Lady, and decided to use those for my project.

I made a collage in Picasa with some of the inside pages so as not to overwhealm you with too many detail photos,...I know I do that sometimes....lol.

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my little album. I have to rush off to work now, and hope your day turns out wonderfully!!

Take care!!

Woot woot!..I had no idea I was scraplifted on the PInk Paislee blog last week...!

Good morning to you!

I don't have time for a proper post today as we are expecting guests so I will just show you a little something that I discovered something and quite enjoyed!

Yesterday while scrolling through the Pink Paislee blog, looking for a challenge I could not !find,... I happened to find something else that I had NO IDEA  of!

Look at this wonderful layout that Karola did,....SCRAPLIFTING ME....


I had seen this page on Live Pink and even commented on it days ago,....

(I copy/pasted from the Pink Paislee blog.)

Hello everyone! Karola here with new Pink Paislee project!

Today’s topic of our blog post is : Member Mania – This means that I will choose a layout from one of the members in our Live Pink Gallery and I will use it as inspiration to create my own layout!  It’s a huge surprise for all the Live Pink members – you never know whose work will be lifted! There is so much inspiration, and lots of stunning, beautiful layouts, cards and altered items – we encourage you to visit the Live Pink gallery regularly!

So, I had a serious problem to select only one project to scraplift, but I found a gem, something that really impressed me – it’s layout called “My Sweet Girls” created by Bente Fagerberg:

Bente’s page impressed me so much, it’s classic scrapbook page with a little bit of shabby chic style look, gorgeous bright colors, beautiful and balanced composition… it’s gorgeous!

I decided to copy a fantastic composition and arrangement of images and accessories. I did it in my favorite colors with my favorite motifs. Here’s my version – despite the sincere desire – it’s definitely much more pale and soft than a Bente’s page:

On Bente’s page are a few paper doilies, I cut out my doilies using Cuttlebug,  recently I received a beautiful gift: a few new cutting dies in a doily shape, so I thought it would be perfect for this project. As Bente – I added frills around the background and tried to create a similar composition to her layout. I combined Mistables and Nantucket collections.

I thought I would add as the photo matting something special – I chose the Nantucket – Clam Bake paper, which I precisely cut out and so here we have slotted grille – it requires some hard work using craft knife and a while of patience, but I think is really worth it!

Because Mistables collection is designed for coloring in different ways – I was able to perfectly match its elements to Nantucket colors. Coloring the background of the Mistables paper I used Ranger distress ink – Tattered Rose. To color the beautiful muslin flower, frills and chipboard letters I used Glimmer Mists: Aquamarine and Cherub Pink – ideally suited for delicate and soft Nantucket colors!

Like Bente – I created a few small embellish clusters:

Here’s the last view from afar:

Have a wonderful day!

That was a nice reward for scrolling through the blog don't you think?

I can't believe my page inspired such a lovely piece of art. Our styles are very different but there is a striking resemblance when you see the pages side by side.

Thanks for looking!
