Going CAS - "Les Girls"

Hello hello!

Started on my take on the Scrap Around The World August moodboard but ran out of time and the page turned out completely different from what I had planned.

I was inspired by the cork and the beautiful bright colours. I would have loved to make something fashion inspired but Mr Mojo veered me elsewhere.

So here it is - "Les Girls". Very CAS for me and behold! not a single flower on it!!

 

Once again, thank you Ali Parris for letting me

scrap this absolutely wonderful photo of you ladies!

 Everything on the page is from my box of leftovers 

of American Crafts products.

So appreciate your visit - thank you!

Prima August 2014 BAP and PPP

Hello Sunday, hello you!

Weekends are always too short, too much on that to-do list and not enough hours. I've had the Prima BAP and PPP sitting on my desk for weeks without being able to finish them.  With only hours to go before deadline, I just bit the bullet and finished them even if the result isn't quite what I had in mind.

This is going to be a photo heavy blogpost, so I'll just let the photos speak for themselves. 

First the August PPP palette;

 

And then my take on it;

Papers used are going from bottom and up - Sun Kiss, Zephyr

and Fairy Rhymes. Stash raiding again!

The bubbles are masked with the new Finnabair Texture 

Paste in White Sand and then sprinkled with new 

Finnabair glitter in silver.

Next the beautiful BAP sketch by Jennifer Snyder;

And my take on it;

Papers are from Stationer's Desk and Time Traveler's Memories.

The title refers to a Swedish song that this

young lady loves.

That's it!

Thank you so much for taking the time to come for a visit!

Have a wonderful start to the week/enjoy your Sunday!

From creamy elegance to blingy bling!

I love, and I really mean - LOVE! anything that is cream/white/gold. So elegant and beautiful but oh so difficult to photograph!

A while ago I made a canvas based on those colours and then took it to a birthday party where I gave a speach to the birthday girl while I gave the canvas sprays of colour and then swiped the details with silver and gold glitter. See, I love my bling!

And the other guests thought it was a fun idea to create something while I was talking. Well, they didn't know that the prep work took me some hours but hey, it was so worth it!

So, starting off with the canvas when it was cream/white/gold. Photographed with my mobile phone just before we left home and therefore the piccies are awful. Arrgh for my bad memory!

Matte gel medium, gesso, heavy modelling paste. 

Mists in Tattered Angels chalkboard in Chalk and 

Sandy Beach.
 Tattered Angels glimmer mist in Crushed Shells and

Mister Huey's Opaque White.

Mica flakes in white and silver, silver micro beads,
Prima cob web trim in cream and gold, pearls.

 

 The flowers are a mix of all sorts from my box of 

loose blooms, mainly Prima.

I was looking for different textures so they are

a mix of mulberry, fabric, lace, canvas, silk, paper. 

Yes, I've got A LOT of flowers in my stash!

 

And then after the colours were added;

Prima Color Bloom sprays in Peony, Cotton Candy,

Storm Cloud and Summer Sky.

Tattered Angels chalkboard in Splash.

Black India Ink

Et voilà!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy weekend!

Cheers! xoxo Eila

Birthday Banner

Hello!

Friday! my goodness, dunno where this week went!

Last week I was creating for a special birthday that took place last weekend, such a wonderful occasion it was. Beautiful weather till later in the evening when the rain brought out the moscitoes - eek!

Today I though I'd share the banner/bunting I made. Congrats in Swedish is "GRATTIS" and that's what's on the banner. When I was going to photograph it at home, I discovered we had nowhere to hang it properly so I pulled the curtains in our dining area and hung it across the window. Not very good photos I am afraid, but couldn't do it any other way.

Letting the photos speak for themselves. Everything is from my box of odd bits and bobs. The papers are DCWV Linen Closet which are among the very first papers I bought when I started scrapping.

The letters were originally plain wood so I spray-painted them in gold before adding glitter and then I spray-painted a second time over the glitter.

Thank you my gorgeous friend Ali Parris for letting me scrap you

So so many that have visited me over these passed months,

I am doing my rounds every day but being

Thank you!
