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:

Birthday card for a friend, (Papirdesign).

Hei, i dag vil jeg vise ett lite bursdagskort jag har laget til en venn.

Jeg har klödd litt i fingrene etter å lage med de nye arkene, og har fått gjort en hel del siden de kom , men to av layoutene er fremdeles litt 'hemlige' siden de skal väre med i ett online magasin den 1 april.

Her er iallefall kortet mitt:

Hi there! Today I want to share a card made with the latest collection 'Forventning' (means 'Anticipation') from Papirdesign. I have actually made a couple of pages, but cannot share as they will be in my fave online magazine on April 1st. But without further ado; here's my card that I made for a friend:

 Og her kommer ett lite närbilde:

And a closeup:

 Ennu en gang har jeg kunnet nyte av alle de fine Papirdesign blomstene for mitt prosjekt!

Once again I enjoyed working with loads of gorgeous Papirdesign flowers!

Last share of February Scraps of Elegance kit 'Love Always'.

Hello my friends, I have been a bad blogger lately.

To make up for that I'll share TWO pages today that I made with the February kit from Scraps of Elegance. 

I should have posted these already  a few days ago as there is a NEW wonderful kit out for March that I will share with you in a couple of days . I've been having some computer issues (Thank heaven for mobile phone internet so I can still keep in touch,...) but today I'm on the PC again!

I have used the 'Smitten' line from Authentique here as well as some bits from My Minds Eye Record It 'Heirloom'.

I prepared a few close ups ( if too many feel free to scroll down LOL!)

I used one of Ingvild Bolmes little metal zippers as an embellishment and lots of stamps ans flowers. 

I used a stencil to take break up the repeated pattern of hearts and make it  less obvious in some areas.

I used a series of three cute photos of youngest DD and our kitte, Lady. It's an easy way to add more that just the one photo to your page.

And now for my second page for today;

Even here the main papers are from Authentique. I think they nailed it with this line, and if you like you could even say I was 'Smitten',...LOL! Again I use a series of three pictures. These were taken in Stockholm when we went up for her students visa to the US. She has been across the big sea since October now and we can't wait to have her back here.

I used the chandelier sprays from the kit to make little sprigs of chrystals and roses. I was meaning to post a short picture tuturial and it may come one day next week.

There was a pot of lovely pink glitter in the kit, and below you can see how I added some to the Martha Stewart butterfly. The flowers all got a lick of white paint to make them a little more 'shabby'.

The title was cut using my Silhouette Cameo. 

The word 'Delightful' is a cutfile and 'Girl' is just simply written in my selected font and then cut.

That's all for now. 

 I had a happy mail some days ago and I am waiting to hear how soon I can tell you all about it!! 

I can't wait!! Hope to see you back soon so I can tell you about it!! <3

Take care!
