Guest designing with Ruby Rock-It

Hi there! I am a little behind with posting  my assignments for different design teams lately. 

I've been busy scrapping up a storm and discovered that I have so much I did not share!

Today I want to show you some different projects that I made as a guest designer for the Australian based manufacturer Ruby Rock-It.  (Here is the post on their blog)

First a page in the mixed media style that  kept pretty light and more in my ususal style.

I was given a collection called 'Handi Scandi'. 

It was way out of my comfort zone so I did my best to adapt it to my style.

Page number two is not in my usual style, but I tried to take my cue from the papers and from my cute pictures of DD and our little kitty. I used some of the cutesy elements that came with the collection. The papers are of excellent quality andd I love that one side is kraft (many with glitter ;.)) and the other side 'regular'. The embellishments are great too and fabulous for cards.

Here are a couple of close up of some embellishments:

I loved the wooden embellishments they sent me. Here I used the deer to embellish the front of a mini album. I made a raised frame/box using cardstock and pop dots 

Finally I made some cute cards using some of the layered diecuts from  the  'Handi Scandi' collection.

Thank you so much Ruby Rock-It for having me and thanks to you all for dropping by to take a look!

Hugs!

Wonderful Moments' using 'Scraps of Elegance October kit 'Pretty Things'.

Today I have a first page to share that I made with the October kit from Scraps of Elegance.

The papers I used  belong to the lovely 'Madeleine' collection from Bo Bunny. 

I think they have produced a lot of very pretty collectios lately and have quickly become 

one of my favourite manufacturers at the moment.

 In addition to the papers I have used some flowers, bling stones, die cuts, stickers and brads from Bo Bunny on this page. And all of those is included in the kit/add on

 This is a very layered page. I used a lot of the diecuts to build up all the layers.

 The photo was taken a couple of years ago at the family summer house in the South of France. 

With the French captions on the papers I thought that was very suitable :-)

This kit is called 'Pretty Things',... and that's no lie I'm telling you! 

There are sooo many nice elements in thes kit you have to see it! just take a look here!

More 'Floral fantasy' from Scraps of Elegance / FabScraps

Hi friends! It's getting a little late here but I realized I have to do a  post now to make good use of the fact that the internet is actually working att the moment :-)

I have another page and a couple of cards to share from Scraps of Elegance latest kit  'Floral Fantasy'. I have already used quite a few of the abundant Graphic 45 sheets from the kit and this page uses the FabScraps collection 'French heirloom'. The large cabbage roses on the papers are so exquisite!!

This is  a very layered page with soo many fussy cut elements and I have raised all the cut-out roses 

with pop dots to emphasize both the layering and the texture. 

I also embellished with lots of tiny Bisque-coloured pearls from a small bottle of liquid pearls.

The gorgeous flowers are from Prima Marketing and are called Adelynn/Ageless.

They are in the beautiful flower add on. I have pre-ordered it to make sure I don't miss out as these add ons sell out quickly!!

I love the trellis design of the green burlap papers. It lends itself to the interesting look of cutting away a few of the 'diamond shapes' to reveal a different colour. I like how it lightens the mood a bit on these  papers soo laden with grandeur of yonderyears.

 I used some Prima alpha stickers from my stash for the title.

I made it fairly simple as the papers were enough in themselves. I remember so well all the 

magical fun we had spreading dandelion seeds all over the garden :-)

 I raised all the fussy cut elements with popsdots for a layered and textured page.

 I also made two cards with this kit. 

The papers on these are by Graphic 45 and are called 'Botanical Tea'.

The flower on the card is the same kind as those on the layout an the stickers as well.

The large journaling cards and the stamps are cut out from the different patterned papers. 

That was all for now!! I hope you liked what you saw and if you have the kit; Happy Creating!!

Hugs!!

'Remember the Good Times' from PaperHaus Magazine using some Prima goodness.

Hi, seems I don't update this ol' blog very often.....

Oh well, I am now back to share a lo I made especially for the PaperHaus sketch section of the Spring edition. I am proud to have been part of this great publication. I really feel it is the best one so far. I used  this and that from different paper collecrions by  Prima Marketing.

I will keep this fairly short and sweet. I think the close ups speak for themselves. If you are interested to know what supplies have been used all of tham have been listed together with a photo of the LO in  the magazine. (Link at the end of this post).

Don't you just adore all tha Prima goodness.....?

One of my fave things to do is to use a mask and gesso.

Right now PaperHaus Magazine is accepting submissions for the Summer Issue.
