'Look Book' for Papirdesign.

Hi there! I hope your day started out great. In this part of the world we can see the sun promising to shine on us today and another beautiful spring day on the way.
And here is a Spring-inspired page from me...


I mixed a few sheets from different collections on this page. That is one of the very best things about Papirdesign; that all can be so easily matched.

 

 This page was originally made for the PaperHaus magazine, but alas recently it was decided it will no longer be published. I mixed the lovely flowers from Papirdesign with some other brands.


 

 I fussy cut the tiny butterflies from one of the lovely patterned papers.




That's all for now. Enjoy life 'til  next time!!

Scraps of Elegance kits, March reveal *Floral Fantasy* Graphic 45.



I love to be on the Scraps of Elegance kits design team!
 We allways receive such gorgeous material to work with!!

Today I am sharing the beautiful and feminine March 2014 kit and my first page using it!!
Firstly; here is a picture of the kit without the add ons:
It is called  Floral Fantasy.
 I picked out a few sheets of papers and some embellishments from Graphic 45 and also added a few Prima flowers.


I fussy cut some flowers and a small butterfly as well as some 'floral postage stamps'.


 I used the G45 Botanical Tea Collection Tags & Pockets as embellishments on my page. You can see two of the tags used as banners at the top of the page. The floral designs of this collection are utterly beautiful!!


I picked some pretty Prima flowers with different shapes that were such a great match to my Miss B's jacket in the photo. We had my darling sister and niece visiting from Norway and the photo was taken on one of our outings.We went to the countryside to ride 'cykeldressin'. I tried to find a good translation but it didn't sound right. Anyway it's kind of like riding a tandem bike on old railway tracks (not still in use). FUN!!


One of the sheets had six double sided cards to cut out. They can be used as embellishments like this or maybe to make cards. I will do that as well I think!


As you can see the colours and designs of the Botanical tea collection are gorgeous!! I will have a lot of fun with this kit!!

And here are some pictures of the add ons:

Are you ready for some Christmas cards?


Hi there scrappy friends!!



Now the time has come to start sharing some of all those cards I have been making since the latest LOT with  gorgeouus PD X-mas papers  arrived in my mailbox! Recently I shared these cards on the Norwegian Papirdesign blog and  I thought I would post them here as well!



I love the 'traditional' feel that the seasonal products from Papirdesign have. Here I have picked colours like red and cream and mixed them
up with se trendy gold and some green.

All the tags and the birdpicture were cut from Papirdesign papers.


Those were my three cards for  today.
I hope you liked them!

'Carpe Diem', for Papirdesign

Once again I enjoyed pulling out my collection of lovely papers from Papirdesign to make a page for my regular post there. I had some photos taken last Summer that went very well with that rose paper.

 I incorporated into my design some tags made from other patterned paper and also cut out a doily with my Silhouette Cameo. I cut the doily in two and used both above and underneath my photo.

 I used lots of the Papirdesign mini roses in my clusters. I just love them!
Actually everything on this layout was made by Papirdesign except for two of the flowers. 
Have you noticed the dainty blue gardenia flower in the lower right hand corner? It is a new style for PD and they come in a lot of different pretty colours.

 Love the bling swirl too. Papirdesign have awesome swirls and they are so huge you can divide and use them on several projects. This time I kept the backing foil and just cut around the bling. I like the effect it creates and I find it adds more texture.

Lately I go through a lot of thread on my sewing-machine LOL! I do a lot of stitching and so even on this page. It actually takes quite a bit of time but I like the look.

Thanks for dropping by to check out my page!

'Time Stood Still' for Inkido (and two challenges) and info about the current theme at Paper Issues.


 Time for a new layout as part of the Inkido DT and also time overdue to share about the latest theme over at Paper Issues.

First of all, here is my very latest page using the Beautiful Memories collection.


 I started by layering two sheets of pp, one of them embellished with a border around the edges. 
After sewing  the pages together I added some gesso through a stencil. 

I actually followed TWO sketches to make this page,... yes I know it sounds crazy... 
But I had copied from 3 sketch-challenges that I wanted to play along with, and the two next to eachother looked strikingly similar.


The first one: Scrap & Music where you use the sketch and include a line from a specific lyric.
I did not read the rules very closely at first so I originally put another title on my page, but was able to change it for a line from the lyrics instead. :-)


The second one is by Ulrika aka *Lillblomman*, my DT friend from both Papirdesign and Inkido.



Can you see how similar they are..?


And here are some closeups:

The gorgeous bling swirl is actually a lesftover from one byPapirdesign that I already used on one of my PD lo's. And the gorgeous mini roses are from Papirdesign as well. Their flowers have a consistently high quality!

 As it was very sunny wnen I photographed my lo I think the colours look a bit faded. 
They are actually slightly more saturated IRL.




 I am also excited to share with you the fact that Becky Higgins and her PL is sponsoring the current theme over at Paper Issues.
Definitely something to feel happy and proud about!!
 She is giving away a Project Life Core Kit which would be so cool to win!! 
You can find all the details on the PI blog.
  There are also chances to win one of Becky's Project Life sample kits.

"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!!
