*Beautiful* A monochromatic lo in lilac for Papirdesign DT

Hi I'm back with a new layout to share with you today.
The Norwegian title * Vakker* means *Beautiful* in English.
I picked a lot of exquisite lilac coloured papers and embellishments from Papirdesign and even found a gorgeous pearl swirl in just the right colour!! I quite enjoy a monochromatic approach, even if I opted to add a few green leaves as well.

This past weekend I was babysitting my niece and nephew so I didn't get to do a lot of scrapping, but instead I managed to get a few good photos for later projects. This photo is one of the shots.

I just love the design of this purple/lilac paper. I even enjyed myself fussy cutting the trellis pattern.


Look at this beautiful pearl swirl:



Lots of pretty flowers and mini roses here. One of the great things with Papirdesign is they gave so many shades of each colour to choose from!



I love to add some pretty edges with my border punches.






The cute chipboard title comes on a sheet with other 'Family'-themed titles.



A view more from the side: :-)

I hope you love the lilac products as much as I do!
Enjoy all the beautiful Papirdesign products this summer.
Hugs!!

Two lovely new collections from Les Papiers de Pandore and a blog hop winner.

 Sorry for being such a bad blogger lately!

I have been held back by a faulty, almost non exictent internet connection. Although the truth is I don't know how much I would have been able to share anyway as the first two weeks of June are always super busy! I guess many of you are experiencing the same now with all the kids activities coming to an end with special gatherings to finish off the term at the same time as there are many other demands.
I have been able to check in from time to time on the IPad, but lets be realistic; it is not the best blogging tool...LOL!

 Anyway here I am to share the latest two collections from Julie Blanc and Beatrice Garni for Pandore.

The first one is called 'Summer Life'

 The second one is called 'Itinéraire Bis'.

I hope and believe you'll like these as much as I do. 

I cannot wait to receive my kit, and hopefully all of it will be here by Monday.

Finally I will tell you who is the winner of the Wycinanka

chipboards!!

I used Random.org to choose my winner.

If I don't hear back from the winner by Thursday I will pick a new one. 

 

Hugs!!

Cute Cousins for DT Papirdesign.

Hi friends. I thought it was high time for a new post here. 

I have been so busy with organizing my DD's graduation I have not had time to be blogging much lately. I will see if I have a few nice photos that I can share with you in a day or two :-) .

But now I am back to share my latest layout. I picked a few favourite Papirdesign supplies and added a few leaves and flowers and this is what I made:

 I used my new toy, the Silhouette to make the trellis background. The blue cutouts that I placed inside the 'grid' were from another trellis that I cut out in a slightly smaller size. Waste not want not is a saying and sometimes it's a good one to live by :-) .

I painted a thin layer of gesso uneavenly over my page to tone down the background a little.

I inked around the edges of the pink chipboard hearts to make them a better match to my large rose.

I hope you enjoyed my lo and sorry for making this a short ( ...and sweet ;.) ) post .

Hopefully from Thursday things will slow down and I'll have more time for my fave hobby!

Hugs!!
