''My Girls'' made for Papirdesign and PaperHaus Magazine Christmas Issue.

Hi! Today I just have a quick share of my page for the colour combo in the Winter/Christmas issue of the popular online magazine PaperHaus.

Some lovely festive colours in the traditional hues this time.

Here is what I made:

 

I used a lot of goodies from Papirdesign, a wonderful brand from Norway, on this page.

The papers are from the latest Christmas collection called 'Julehilsen' (i.e. 'Christmas Greetings')

And so are most of the other elements on the page. Papirdesign have a large array of paper floweers to complement any page.

Here you can see some of the dimension of my page. 

I am afraid the weather is utterly dreary outside and I have not been able to get a good shot. I promise this actually looks so much better IRL!

The picture was taken a few years back and its kind of fun to see how different the girls look, especially the eldest one :-)

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the frames and doilies I have used here. 

I actually layered two frames on top of eachother for a special effect. 

I like how it turned out!

I hope you enjoyed some  Christmas-inspiration today. 

I guess by now we'll all have lots of brand new sparkly  photos from this recent holiday to scrap. 

I am so looking forward to seeing lots of beautiful pages all over the internet!!

Hugs!!

Welcome to the Winter Frolic 12 Days Of Christmas Blog Hop! Day 10

" Welcome to the Winter Frolic 12 Days Of Christmas Blog Hop! 

You should have arrived here from the PaperHaus blog. 

We are celebrating the release of the Winter Issue of PaperHaus Magazine but also inspiring you each day with wonderful holiday projects, giveaways and inspiration! Our blog hop will run from December 1st to December 12th! Be sure to stop each day and leave a comment each day to win some fabulous prizes by our lovely sponsors! Don't forget to check out the Winter Issue for additional inspiration, holiday cheer and some amazing projects from our contributing team!" 

Many of you have probably already checked out the fab magazine. 
But just in case; HERE is a link to it. 

I only had time to prepare two pages for the magazine this time and you'll find my contributions

 on pages 40 and 62. One is a shabby page using Papirdesign products and the other one more clean using products from another favourite; Les Papiers de Pandore. I hope you like them both. I am not supposed to share them on my blog for a month so you'll se more of them here at the beginning of the new year.

Here is my contribution for the hop:

This is a page I made for Inkido as part of their DT and I used the delightful collection 'Happy Christmas' 

I used an older photo of my youngest and her BFF. 

(These are both very sensible girls but will occationally get up to some mischief :-) )

The title was made using red glitter Thickers and some older stickers from Pink Paislee (Old School).

The flowers are from Inkido. I used both Harmony flowers and Fashion Flowers (red).

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut most of these shapes and borders. For an accent I added some 

red Viva pearl maker to the vine underneath the picture.

 Finally a shot to show some of the dimension I was trying to add to my page.

I love using black and white photographs on my pages as they are so neutral and permit adding a lot of bits and pieces that us scrapbookers love!

Here is a full list of todays stops:

DAY 10

• PaperHaus Magazine www.thepaperhaus.com
• Bente Fagerberg www.paperandglueheaven.blogspot.com

Here is my contribution to the hop:

I needed some fast  cards to send far away and as I have quite a few to make I wanted them to be pretty simple and straight forward. I used dies and vintage pictures and embellished with pearls. I raised the different layers with popdots.

I used a combination of beautiful Christmas collections from Papirdesign.

Thanks for hoppning by!!

Anniversary page for PaperHaus Magazine fall edition using Prima Marketing goodies

Hi and Happy Sunday to you all! 

I almost forgot that  I still have a couple of pages to share that were in the Fall edition of PaperHaus Magazine. The one I am posting today was for the special anniversary section where all the members of the contributing team would do a project to showcase their style etc.

Here is the page I made:

I usually don't have time to scrap anything that is not made with products from one of my three manufacturer teams, but this time I decided to use some of the new things I bought from the previous CHA releases. Most of this is by Prima Marketing.

I used the paper collections ''Lyric''and ''Divine''

The larger blooms here are Prima flowers and the small but so lovely  mini roses are made by Papirdesign.

  I just love all the shabby prettiness of the Ingvild Bolme line of embellishments for Prima Marketing. They are so fun to use and really packs a large punch in a small package.

Here I have used one of the zippers that have small words on them.
The little tag peeking out at the top has a La Blanche stamp on it.

The round piece that I used for my title was cut out from one of the gorgeous papers. I used textile stickers to write out the title, which is in French and means ''My Reason for Beeing''.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to make the pretty doily underneath the flower cluster.

The cute dressform is by Dusty Attic and sooo sweet! I added a few bling stones for extra glamour.

Thanks for looking. Hope to see you here again soon!

Day 14 of the PaperHaus release party!! 'Sweet Summer' for Inkido.

Heellooo all you PaperHaus fans!! 

Welcome to day 14of our blog hop in honour of the newly released Fall Issue.

We are also celebrating the 1 year anniversary of PaperHaus Magazine! I am so delighted to be part of this wonderful publication! Below you'll find the link for the magazine.

HERE is the link to the magazine.

 You should have arrived here from the PaperHaus blog.

And of course I have made a little something that I hope will give you som inspiration along the way.

 I played around with my Inkido supplies to make this page. 

I started out with a plain page with a tiny inconspicious pattern. After using stamps, gesso, masks and Ranger Distress Ink this background is far from plain ;-)

  I wanted some chevrons but didn't have any at hand so I decided to make some from some chipboard backing I received a while ago with some goodies. I measured and cut and I am actually thrilled with how they turned out. -Chipboard shapes economy style :-)

 I also used my sewing machine quite a lot for this background. 

First I stitched all around the edges. Then I made some zig-zagging in some areas along the edge, and finally I made some 'dents' into the sides of the page.

 The cute corrugated tag is also from Inkido and it received a treatment with paint and ink before I finally added my title to it. The stickers are textile ones from Prima.

Above you can see the stitching a bit better:

Sunday in a week I will have some step by step photos included in my post at the Inkido blog.

'Viva Las Vegas Stamps' is the sponsor of today's hop

Thanks so much for looking!

Don't forget to leavea comment to be in the draw for our prize!

Your next stop on the hop is the talented Trudi Harison.

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!!
