''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!!

*You Make my Life so Sweet* for Pandore,...and the new PaperHaus magazine is out!!!

This is my latest layout using a  fabulous new collection from my fave French manufacturer;

 Les papiers de Pandore.  This particular delightful collection that I have used here is called 'Itineraire Bis'. I love it sooo much!

 I used most of the 12 x 12 collection 'Itineraire Bis' for this page and also some of the 15X15 papers. The badge I used is from 'Lovely Birds'.

 I really like the photos of Beatrice that I use on this layout. 

They show her spunk and sazz and she also was quite happy to have her photo taken at the time :-)

 I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out some shapes, both words using my own fonts, 

and different arrows for decoration. The tiny camera is from Polish Wycinanka.

For my title I backed a larger piece that had some diecut my title and used the negative space 

from it. I backed it with different  papers to get the effect I was looking for.

The other thing I wanted to share was that the new fall issue of PaperHaus Magazine just went live.

HERE is the link to the magazine:

 

And HERE on the PaperHaus blog you can read all about it. 

The routine for the bloghop has been changed this time round and I will be joining in the 'release party' in a few days:-)

 Enjoy!1 I'll be back soon!

Thanks for your lovely and much appreciated comments :-)

A layout with 'Lovely Birds' collection, *Be true to You*

I have been having some fun recently using some of the newer collections from 

Les Papiers de Pandore. It is great to see that the many collections mix and match so well that they could almost be parts of the same one.

 This photo was taken a few weeks ago at the beach near here. We had been celebrating Victoria's graduation and together with my sister and her family visiting from Denmark we decided on an outing. We all had a good and the kids enjoyed their day at the beach.

The flowers here are by Petaloo and Prima Marketing as well as some mini roses from Papirdesign.

I just adore these Thickers by American C5raft. I have been wanting them for ages, and yayyy! Finally I could buy them from Cassie at Paper Issues! 

I really recommend her new store!!

 Thank you so much for dropping by!!

Pandore materials used:

Urbanessence "Star system"
Lovely birds "Duvet"
Lovely birds "Plumes"
Lovely birds "Sweet home"
Lovely birds "Mémos"
Pause café "Panneaux"
Pack 15x15 Itinéraire bis

Projects I did for the Summer issue of PaperHaus Magazine.

I have a lo and a card to share with you that I made for the PaperHaus Magazine, Summer Issue. 

It was made as an example for the PaperHues section.
I'll admit I actually found the colours quite hard to combine. At first I made a pure mixed media layout but didn't like the way it turned out. You could say it was 'too much mix and not enough media'. I tore it to shreds and was honestly a bit worried I would miss the deadline with just a day or so to go.... But I managed.... :-)

And here are a few close ups:



 And I had a card in the CardHaus section prepared after the latest sketch:

I am just  a couple of weeks from the deadline for the next PaperHaus magazine which will be in celebration of our first birthday! I am certainly going to be busy this coming week!

Hugs!!

DT work for combo at Les Papiers de Pandore

Earlier this month there was a post up on the Pandore blog sharing a few pages made by DT members for a pretty new colour combination.

 This is my page here:

 A inspiration for my page I used this latest sketch from Sketchabilities:

 And here is the beautiful colour combo:

For the grey colour I used a special technique for a relief patterned background.

Using my new Cameo I cut several scalloped borders and making them overlap  I glued them to my page underneath the photo.

 The titleword 'Remember' and the speechbubble 'I love you' were also made with the Silhouette. Flowers are mostly from Prima and Papirdesign.

 I sewed the title to my page. I find that works so well when the title is less bulky like here.

 The green canvas banner is by Prima and come plain off white. I used a mist by Studio Calico 

to add the right green colour to it.

 That's all for now.
The upcoming week will be quite a busy one with the week-long PaperHaus bloghop starting on
June 1st and my turn to post on my DT blogs coming up as well in the next days....
So I'll have plenty to share soon!

Hugs!!

Two new fabulous collections from Les Papiers de Pandore

I would have loved to have a new layout or project to share today,...but unfortunately no time lately.

(I even got a PM on FB from my sister complaining that I don't update with something new! LOL!)

I am working on a lo but that is for a GD stint I am doing and will share later this month.

I do however have something to share that will definitely be very pleasing on the eyes!! Yup,the absolutely super-talented Julie Blanc has created yet two adorable new collections for Les Papiers de Pandore.

Even this time round  in collaboration with Beatrice Garni.

Here they are:

This one is called "Lovely Birds"

And this second one is called "Pause Cafe".

I actually snuck in a few minutes this morning to start a new project using "Lovely Birds".

I am such a lucky girl to be working with these amazing papers!!

Thanks for looking!!
