My first page using the new Inkido collection 'Happy Christmas'.

'Liten tomte tittar ut' is the title of this new page and it is about Beatrice wearing her long Santa-hat that we had been looking to buy in so many places before we found it.

I used the latest beautiful collection from Inkido called ''Happy Christmas'' for this page.

 The small chipboard is from Imaginarium Designs, and the large one is from Dusty Attic.

 I made my title using the Silhouette Cameo. It has become such a fun tool to play wth!

I wanted to use the pretty tags on my page and ended up attatching them as an embellishment 

with a large bow.

I just wanted to get this post up before leaving for work this morning. 

I feel there is no need for a lot of words as there are so many pictures, and we all know that a picture says more than a 1000 words :-) LOL!

Have a good day everyone!!

Guest designing at 13 Arts!!!

I was delighted a few weeks ago when I was offered to be a guest designer at 13 Arts, the trendy Polish manufacturer of beautiful scrapbooking papers.

I knew of their two collections and also of their awesome and very talented owner/designer Aida Domisiewicz aka Ayeeda in the scrapping world, from among other places the CSI site. She makes the most beautiful textured pages. -And as you will see she even designs lovely papers.

The latest news is that she is brancghing out into mists, gesso etc for mixed media work.

Here is the first of three pages I have made so far, and I have a couple more in the pipline so to speak...

 

I primed my paper with gesso and used a mask with large dots. I used different mists and ink on top and blended them. I wanted to accent the pink colours in the paper and show that they can easily be adapted to a romantic style.

The pretty yellow flower is by Manorhouse Creations as well as the pink one.

The white rose is from 13 Arts. I cut my title from the accessories-sheet which has a lot of great elements like banners and stuff.

I love the look of the brick patterned paper. I cut a frame from it to go all along the edges of my page. I added some cute pink buttons from Doodlebug as a contrast to the paint and shabbiness of the overall page.

The cute frame was made using a Sissix framelits die. It is one of my faves at the moment.

And for the fence I used a die by Cheery Lynn.

That's all for today my friends. I make this a quick one as I am having internet trouble (...again..!) and am typing this at work after hours....

I hope you like my page and will be back to see the rest of what I made for 13 Arts.

Soon I'll be back to share the new colour combo from Les Papiers de Pandore and my take on it!

Hugs, and thanks for any comments!

"So Proud" - Page in "Invitation" from Les papiers de Pandore.

Hello my dear friends!

I told you before that this Summer I developed a love for using strips of patterned papers on my layouts. Here comes one more example of that!

I used the beautiful 'Invitation' by 'Les Papiers de Pandore'. I admit I grunged it up a bit but of course you you will still recognize the beautiful colours and patterns.

Here are some close ups:

 Thanks for dropping by to have a look at my work. It is much appreciated!!
