'Sweet Baby Girl', for Papirdesign September challenge.

Hi all,I'd like to share a layout that I made for our current challenge on the Papirdesign blog.  
I was given permission to scrap this beautiful baby girl and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Just look at that adorable baby-face.
This months theme is 'baby''.

I also made this for the monthly challenge at Scrap for Help, to use a 'soda-clip'.

 As I used so many beautiful things here that I felt the urge to post quite a few close-ups for you.
I know I always say that Papirdesign has a very high quality to their products and I am very fortunate to be working with them. So true!!
You can also tell for yourself the products are beautiful!

I used the PD alphas for my title together with the chipboard word 'Baby' from the  family-themed chipboard set. The half pearls are made in lots of different colours.

Just look at that lovely pearl flourish. I love both the look and the finish on them. 

 I used a leftover piece here, and just look at the effect!

The mini roses come in a multitude of beautiful colours and the chipboard hearts come in several colours as well. Why not get some red ones for the Christmas-cards? :-)

 I hope you enjoyed my page and I would love for you to take part in our current monthly challenge.

We're looking forward to seeing what you create with the beautiful babyproducts from Papirdesign.

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!

'Milano Shopping' for Les papiers de Pandore, 'Itineraire Bis'.

Recently I received the two new collections from Les Papiers de Pandore in my hand and they are really pretty!! Today's  page is made mostly with the large papers of  'Itineraire Bis' as well as some papers from the 15x15cm mini pack papers of the travel collection. .

 And here are you can get a closer look at some of the details!!

The photos were taken in Milan. 

Some of you may know that together with a friend co-own and run a small company selling fashion accessories. We buy most of what we sell on quite frequent trips to Milan and Frankfurt. These photos were taken a few years back when my two eldest daughters came with us on one of our trips.

I hope you like what I came up with!

On Sunday I will be back with another Pandore page that I made for an upcoming blog hop. 

I hope to see you again then.Welcome back !!

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!!

A page in blue for DT Papirdesign

Hello again my dear scrappy friends! I wanted to share a page I did for a recent post at Papirdesign showcasing a few of my favourite things from them.
Ok, let me just say that choosing just a few  favourite products is not easy since Papirdesign has so many great ones to choose from!

But,...those who know me a little will probably guess that I am in love with all the beautfiful flowers. You would be right, but then there's the alphas, -and the bling swirls,...and ,...and...

Just imagine all those great colours...Another favourite is the great chipboard.

I made the white title with my new Cameo and used a stencil for all the white gessoed dots.
And here are some closeups of some of the pretty mini roses and chipboards from Papirdesign .



 


Just a short one from me today as I have so much to prepare for my daughters upcoming graduation.
Come to think of it I will share a few pictures from her prom with you soon.
Hugs!!

'Memories' using the new Inkido 'Beautiful Memories 2'

A few days ago I received the new collection from Inkido in the mail. I love the new colours they have come up with, and all is made to mix and match perfectly with the previous release 

'Beautiful Memories'.

Here is my first lo with the new papers:
(I noticed  there's a little fly that wanted to be in the shot,...can you see it?)

And of course the usual lot of close ups,...-if you get bored just scroll on down... :-)

A short while ago I bought my new toy from Cassie at Paper Issues. 

Yup, I am now the proud owner of a brand new Silhouette Cameo.  

I was a bit worried that I would find the learning process a bit tedious and just leave it in the box more or less, but that has not been the case. Together with my 12 year-old I unpacked it and installed it and it was actually not hard at all. I imagine it will take some time before I feel I can grasp all the details and possibilities but I can already do many of the things I wanted it for!!

( Remember that using my code BENTE20 will take 20% off the price at checkout at PI. )

I based my page on several layers. 

All the papers I layered  are from the new Inkido collection called 'Beautiful Memories 2'.

I have mainly used the beige group of papers here as well as one of the pink ones.

The first layer got some gesso and a lick of paint around the edges. I used one of my fave Martha Stewart large punches on layer number two. And finally for my third background sheet I arrived at using my new Cameo toy. cut out a grid on almost a whole sheet of paper. I think that is so neat!!

Even the title was cut with my new electronic toy and I love the way it turned out. 

The titles were actually one of the main reasons I started looking into buying one.

A couple of more close ups of the pretty Inkido products. 

I have added a few Prima flowers here but the majority of the flowers are from Inkido. 

And I also added some of their bling stones in pink.

I am also entering this into the challege to use doilies on your project at Little Red Wagon.

I hope you liked my page and thanks for any friendly messages you may leave me :-)

Hugs!!
