Layout for 7 Dots Studio

I have created this layout for a competition of 7 Dots Studio but I see that I missed the date for the challenge. I thought that today was the last day but it was actually last night. That was a stupid of me to miss it beucase I was actually almost finished with it yesterday. The criteria was to use 7 Dots paper and the criteria was vintage style...



The cardstock which is the background is called from a collection called Destination Unknown . The other papers are also from 7 Dots. Some arefrom the same collection. I have painted with watercolour on the background.The pictures are of my grandparents, Märta and Daniel. My mother think that they recently had got engaged when this photo was taken.

 I made some of the flowers myself which I pained so they would fit in with the color scheme

Ett namngivningsminne

Jag fick en beställning till en namngivningspresent. Eftersom jag själv känner mamman var det extra roligt att få göra denna gåva till Molly <3

I grunden är det en vit 'pappersbok' från Panduro som jag använt tidigare till ett bröllopsalbum till min kusin.Sedan har jag dekorerat dem med de underbara 'My precious daughter' från Pion design.

På insidan finns bilder på lilla Molly. Jag framkallade två bilder i sepia och de bilderna har jag också sandpapprat i kanterna för att skapa en ram som inte syns så bra på detta fotografi som tyvärr är lite suddigt.  Jag la till ett 'rosa bandet' rosett för jag vet att det betyder mycket för Mollys mamma!

Family Favourite

I  developed a lot of my Instagrampictures to paper a few weeks ago and it's so much fun to see them in 'real life'. I used one of this summers photos for this layout. I am entering it in Words & Painterys November challenge. The inspiration for colour was  black, silver and turqoise  and the motto, Live it, feel it , cling to it!

 This picture is from our summerhouse. It is located on a small island in the ocean (Gulf of botnia) that you only can reach by boat and here are we enjoying the homemade icecream at sunset at our own boatingdock. The background paper comes from Panduo hobby and is called Turqoise chevron. I really like it for the summer/ocean feel of it and what says summer more than icecream :-)

The tag comes from Heidi Swapp as well as the family sign, arrow and black and white heart. I cut  all the stars with a die and painted two  silver and embossed the middle one.

Merry Christmas Layout

I started to do this layout this saturday at a scrapevent here in town, but I wasn´t all that happy with it so I changed it a bit.(For the better I think :-))I´m entering it to Scrap Around the Worlds November Challenge .

I followed the scrapevents layout but I used the moodboard from Scrap around the world. It looks like this: 

This is my layout. I used a photo that I took last christmas of my Amaryllis. (Hippeastrum × hortorum, in latin) It´s a very popular christmasflower here in Sweden. I used cool blue papers to complement the photograph and to follow the moodboard.

The Backgroundcardstock comes from Pion Design Palette and  is called Blue IV.  I have also used the papers' Coming home', and both sides of 'Angels choir' from Pion Designs new collection 'Glistening season' 

 The tag says God Jul which is Merry Christmas in swedish.

My first photos very a bit dark so I took some new photos today (tuesday )with better light ouside in the snow!

Challenge for Words and Paintery

I have really enjoyed to do more and more layouts, so I thought I would have a go at another one. This time at this months challenge at Words & Paintery . The theme where the colors pink, orange and gold and the sentiment was 'Let's celebrate'

Not the colors that I normally use, so it was an extra challenge.

A really festive way to celebrate is to use fireworks. These Photos did I take two years ago at my brothers wedding. They were vey spectacular but hard to catch with the camera. :-)

The background was really black so I sanded down the pictures to add more motion into them and I also added som gold sparkle for extra effect! I have star dies in different sizes and used them to create the background. I also colored some cheesecloth in orange, pink and black. I used Dylusions Bubbelgum pink, Squeezed orange and Black marble to spray on my white cardstock.

I'm very happy with the result but it was hard to photograph those colors so you can see them correctly. They are very vibrant in real life.

Vintagelayot

This is a layout made for ARTasticchallengeblog October challenge.  You were to get inspired by a painting called 'The green parasol' (1912) by E Philips Fox and the criteria for the work was vintage style. It's a lovely painting and I directly thought about my 'Vintage garden' papers

The photo that I have used is of my grandmother and a few of her siblings. Two of them were not born yet and three had died before the age of 1. My mothers mother is Märta, the second from the right. Unfortunatly their mother died due to her last childbirth in 1930. She gave birth to eleven children. Her name were Karin (1887-1930 ) and their father were called Karl (1889-1965)

All the paper are from the  'Vintage garden' collection from Pion design except the pictureframe which is from another of Pions collections 'Flower frames'  The big blue flower are from Prima and I also made two flowers myself with help of a die.

Gemensam scraplift

Jag och två av mina scrappande vänner hade hittat en layout på Pinterest som vi alla tre gillade. I våras på en scrappträff beslöt vi alla att göra varsin scraplift på den. Det här blev min version.

Bakgrunden är ett av Pion designs 'Palette' papper, men jag minns inte vilket nu. Det brunprickiga pappret är från Pion design och det turkosa prickiga kommer från Panduros 'Gardenparty', från samma kollektion är de rosa utklippta pionerna . De andra papperna var lite olika pappersrester som jag sparat.

 Själv blev jag mycket nöjd med mitt resultat!
