A published lo to share. :-)

Hi it's me again!
Today I found this among some older photos I was looking on my computer today.
I had almost forgotten about it :-)

This layout was published in the previous issue of Swedish scrapbook magazine Inzpira.

I was delighted to be included in the mag as I am not one to send in applications very often.
I think this was only my second time.
( I tried once with a lo for Scrapbook Trends, even if I knew my style was not theirs,... :-) )
I made this one for  musical theme and also after a sketch in that issue.

Here are a few close ups:

I cut the leaves from gold cardstock and also added some gold paint here and there on my page.
I white-washed the little frame for my title with gesso and smeared on a little gold to give it a more vintage look.

I used a mask with gesso to build up the background and I also added a small dash of pink mist
as well as gold arrows. The red chevrons and the teal strips are washi tapes.

Finally, a closer inspection of my 'edge-ruffles' if I may call them that.
I cut several strips and work on each one of them to achieve this distressed look.

Thanks for dropping by and thanks for your kind messages!
Hugs!

Lucia celebration, Papirdesign

Hi, I'm back to share a layout about a typical Swedish tradition celebrating Santa Lucia. 

It is a festival of light taking place on December 13th. We really appreciate the lights so much during the darkest period of the year here in the northern parts of Europe.

Normally I find it hard to scrap this kind of photos, but using the new Christmas papers from Papirdesign (and some of the other beautiful products they make) really helped make a lo that I actually quite like!

I used some Spellbinders and Cheery Lynn dies  and a mask by Prima Marketing. 

I added some glitter to the dots and some other places in the design to make it more festive.

Pop dots behind the cut out elements help add dimension to my page. I love the sweet cherubs and the glittery chipboard stars as well as all the flowers.

I have combined the latest collection with some earlier Christmas papers.

"Mens vi venter" "Munter Melodi" has ready printed banners just for you to cut out. How neat is that!

I hope you like my Lucia page and that I was able to provide a little scrapping-inspiration on the way. Tomorrow we are back to work/school and all the regular chores! 

And hopefully I can sneak in som scrappy-time just for me.

Hugs!!
