Prima layout with BRAND NEW CHA PRODUCTS!

One of the best things of being a part of a manufactures’ DT is that I’m getting my hands on the new stuff first and are able to play with it and have lots of fun with it before it’s even in the stores! And as a flower girl on Prima’s DT I’m even luckier, because it isn’t “just” new stuff, its THE BEST stuff too! ;-) I can promise you all that this CHA release is just sooo amazing, and I have just been so lucky that I have been playing with some BRAND NEW products for CHA, and here are the result;

"WILL YOU PLAY WITH ME?"

I used the Paradise City paper from Prima that I posted here in my last post (See under), and added Ranger’s Crackle Accents on the black swirls on the PP, and then I used Rangers Liquid Pearls as small pearl drops on the pp. I have cut out the pattern and used it as a frame for my photo, and when I cut out a “strip” of the 12x12 paper and added it to a white Bazzill I was able to choose a different design and set-up on the layout then the pp original had. The rest of the original pp I used on the sites of the white cardstock (Bazzill) so I could pick up again the colours and design on the edges.

Look at those amazing new Prima stitched die-cuts! Wow, I bet they will be this year “got to have”! ;-) I also soooo love the Prima NEW Pearl Centers that I used as a white pearl heart over the photo. And new vines… the will be seen on many of my works this year, I can promise you that! ;-)

The photo shows my daughter dressed up as a fairy in a park near by, and she wanted to play with the swans that came up to her. That’s why the title “Will You Play With Me?”. It’s more like her thoughts… she was about 20 months when this shot were taken.

As usual, more close-ups, for larger views just click on the images.

Thank you sooo much for dropping by everyone, and I wish you all a fab. day and a great summer! Hugs to you all!

The Wedding - a new Prima layout

This time I have scrapped my grandparents that both have passed away. My grandfather passed away when I was 5 years old, and my grandmother lived 13 years alone after that before she passed away in 1995, the same year as my own dad who passed away only 5 months later. This photo is from their wedding in 1939, and they had a long and happy life together. They were both very beautiful and gifted persons, and I have a lot of beautiful memories of them.

Again I used a lot of Prima products, and again I used a beautiful Prima Petite Fleur vine. The gate is a felt gate from Prima that original was brown, but I chose to paint it in gold because of the wedding theme and the vintage style. All the roses and PP die-cuts is from Prima too, but the keyhole is an original old keyhole that I luckily got my hands on at eBay. And the detailed and beautiful title is chipboard from Scrapping Outback. And here in my Gallery at Two Peas you can see some of the products I used on this layout.

As usual I will leave some close-ups that you can click on for larger views. Thank you for looking everyone, and wish you all a fab. week! Hugs!

My Grandfather

Min Morfar (My Grandfather)

This time I have scrapped a photo of my grandfather, a photo that I love sooo much! It's taken of him when he was 60 years old, and I just love the look of this photo. He passed away when I was just 5 years old (in 1985), but I still remember him as a very kind and gifted person. I tried to keep this layout in a style that remembers me of him, that's why the movie -and stamp theme. He was a collector (stamps, coins and "everything"), a painter (artist), a photographer and he used to travel around in our country to show movies (I'm sorry, but I don't know the English word for this, but in Norwegian it's called "kinomategraf").

The stamp-edge is a die-cut paper from Making Memories, that I have cut out and used on a pattern paper from Basic Grey. Then I used Making Memories (Spot Light) paint on to get it white, and then I used a sewing machine for the stitches around the border. The beautiful chipboard letters are from Prima, and the film strips are also from Prima, it's IOD clear tape that I have sticked to a clear sheet and then cut it out in strips. The pencil and the movie tickets are real, and the chandelier stamp is a clear stamp from Heidi Swapp. The ladie in red, the camera and the coloured film strip are die-cuts from a pattern paper from Graphic 45. The black circle sharms with words and the black metal tag is from 7 gypsies.

And, as usual, here are a few close-ups. Or, maybe, this time it's "some"... ;-) Please just click on the images for larger views.

Thank you for dropping by, and wish you all a fab. weekend!

Thank You For Being You

For a few days ago I took this picture (posted in my last post in here), and I loved it so much that I just had to scrap it today! And I didn’t have so much time, so it kind off ended like a "clean and simple" layout from me this time ;-) I also had in my mind to scrap with “free use of products”, in what ever brand I wanted and everything, but it ended up with 95% Prima. I guess that shows my love to Prima, it really is my “heart brand”… and can anyone please tell me how to stop scrapping with those amazingly beautiful Prima vines? *lol* I’m totally addicted to them; they are so easy to use and so decorative. I think I can use them over and over and over again, I never get tired of them.




And on Saturday I was at the mail office and picked up what you can see on the two next pictures. It’s all from the great Norwegian online store TreL.no, and please check out the amazing brand Onirie (first picture) from France! I’m sooo looking forward to play with this great stuff!!! :-D


Hope you all had a great weekend, and wish you all a nice week! ;-) Hugs!

Happy Summer - a Prima card

It’s not too often that I make cards, but recently I just had this perfect “excuse” to make one! ;-) – a sweet friend just had birthday, and I decided to make a summer card to wish her “happy birthday” and happy summer in one card. She is a talented scrapper, you can visit her blog here. I really enjoy making cards, but I guess I have too many pictures I would like to scrap and not enough time to do it all…

I used a Prima “Rue 88 Collection” paper on a yellow Bazzill cardstock. All paper edges are distressed and I used one of my “vintage edge” techniques on them all. Then I added a Prima “Petite Fleur Vines – Daisy” on, and then a large Prima “Belle Fleur – Daisy” that I added Glimmer Mist (brick) on and then some white paint. The letters are white Prima “Whispered Words” that I drew some thin brown lines around.

As usual, here are my close-ups ;-) Just click on the images for larger views.

And today I would like to share a photo of my daughter from this morning;

She just loves to wear body-paint on her face, and today she was so proud when we draw a flower and a butterfly.

Wish you all a wonderful weekend, and thank you so much for dropping by!

Altered Chocolate Box

Our sweet old lady and neighbour trough all years just turned 80, and she is at hospital because of cancer, so I decided to give her something special. And as all old ladies she has everything, so I though that a decorated chocolate box that she also could use to something when the chocolate was eaten up, could be something. And she was wary happy when she received it and I am glad for that.

Almost everything on this box is from Prima, of course ;-) I used an original chocolate box and altered it with Prima Cavalier Paper (Smoking Jacket 810368). On the top I used a piece of lace curtain from IKEA and some branches from a curled three from our garden. All the flowers are from Prima; the vine is a Petite Fleur "aster" (529048) and a Petite Fleur "lily" (529055), and the large flower is a Maxi Aster Flower "Amaranth" (701222) that I used Glimmer Mist (Brick) on and then stamped with a text stamp. I also used several Prima mulberry roses and Mini Gypso's.

The numbers in center of the large Maxi Aster flower symbols that it is her 80 year's day. I melted some seal in the middle and placed the Whisper Chipboard Journals in the middle of the seal before it hardened. The butterflies are also different clear stamps from Prima, stamped on a clear sheet with black Memories ink. Then cut out when dried and folded a little bit and glued on with a very strong and clear glue.

The lock is a Basic Grey magnet lock that I decorated with a Prima Say it in Crystal Center (522049). The magnet is just strong enough to hold the lid down, but if you easely pull in the handle (made out of the branch), the magnet will easely follow and the lid will open.

Around the magnet lock I stamped with Prima Build-a-Bauble (400187) clear stamp.

Inside of the box I also stamped with Prima Build-a-Swirl clear stamps, and then added Ranger Stickles Glue on. Behind the center of a Prima chipboard, Melissa Frances embellish and a Prima mulberry rose, I added a tag that slides and has a personal message on.

Thank you for looking everyone, and I wish you all a wonderful day! *hugs!
