Flowers for Mum". A page for Inkido.

Hi my lovelies!

I discovered that I forgot about this lo with some cute photos of Beatrice taken a few years back.

I made it for the Inkido blog , but at the time I had so much  else going on that I just didn't find the right moment to post it.

So here it is:

These pictures are among my favourites and one of the best things about not scrapping chronologically is that I can pick whatever photo takes my fancy :-

I used a lot of embellishments from Inkido here, like the different kinds of flowers and the metal leaf. I especially love the larger red rose among these.

The *Beautiful memories* collection, and actually most of the Inkido collections include papers with pretty little butterflies that are so good for cutting out and using as decorations on your page. 

I decorated these blue ones with some Inkido bling. I layered my title by using two pieces 

of Inkido paper with pop dots between and some fabric alphas by Prima.

This is a pre-set post but  I will be back in a day or two to share some photos from my trip with you.

Hopefully there will be some good ones!!

Hugs!!

The November sketch at Les Papiers de Pandore,..-and a sweet win for me...!

Good morning and happy Sunday to you all!!

It's been a busy week here again and quite a few days between updates....

Still, I am very happy to see you here and want to share my latest layout that I did for Les Papiers de Pandore and that is also the base for this months sketch.

 I used the newest collection called "Little Winter Circus" which is so full of cute whimsy! 

In my previous layout 'Skating Fun' a couple of posts down, you can see the papers 'clean' with no gesso or paint on them. But for this layout I wanted to show that these papers can look shabby too, with some mixed media added.

This is the beautiful and versatile sketch:

 

On the Pandore blog you can see lovely interpretations from  DT members Helen and Jennife,too.

 The flowers are recent ones from Prima Marketing. And to add to the wintery feel I punched a bunch of snowflakes from the pp. I used a chipboard snoflake as a template for my oversized yellow one and added glitterglue to the edges. I used two different masks from Crafters Workshop, - bricks and diamonds.

I added some mist here and there, and as always it sprayed in directions I had not anticipated and left large splashes all over my photo...! Luckily for this post I was able to remove them digitally, but they are still left on my photo so I may try to exchange it for a 'clean' one later. 

Feels like it's the second lo in a row that happens to me...

 Underneath my flower cluster I matted with one of the 'petit coupons' from the cards sheet.

The pretty washi tape with golden dots was used to hold together the packaging on a DT-kit I received from the States. Don't you just love recycling.. :-) ?

A couple more close ups and I'm done...

I hope you enjoyed my wintery layout. For those of you with papers from Les Papiers de Pandore, and any collection is ok not just the latest ones please join in our challenge and post your layouts on the Pandore Facebook page. Who knows,..might be your lucky day!!

Oh, I almost forgot (I actually posted before I remembered...LOL )....

 I won the Mix and Match challene over at Websters Pages with this layout!
My first ever posted there. Talking about some serious beginners luck .. :-)!
I am delighted, and I will receive a kit of my choice. Isn't that great!?
Here's a screen shot:

All for now!
Hopefully I will get some creating done today!

Hugs!

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!

It's the Little Moments. "Echo Park For the Record 2" Nook kit.

Just a quick post today. We are nearing the end of the month and I still have a couple of projects left to share that I made with the September kit from "My Scrapbook Nook"

The picture is of Beatrice and Scott, the elderly dog of my sisters back in Norway. They became fast friends and Bea loved to spend time with him.

I felt like trying a different approach to my lo this time, and instead of spending a lot of time distressing , misting and layering this time I went for cutting matching and sewing! 

I made a patchwork quilt out of all the pretty Echo Park Papers.

For embellishments I used many of the stickers off the embellishments sheets that came in the kit. I added some buttons and also the yellow twine from a previous kit.

I hope you like this even if it is a bit different from my usual style :-D ...

Now I have to be off. I am attending a fashion show at the store of one of our customers. 

Should be fun!!
