Dear hubbs managed to lock me out from several sites on internet with his passionate quest for fool proof security measurements. Not that I don't truly appreciate his safety precautions but when I get kicked out from Facebook, Blogger and many other places, things get a wee bit, shall we say frustrating ... Back to business again now though and lots of commenting to catch up on. Visiting every day so don't give up on me if I haven't been to your blog in a while :))
Today I'll share my DT page for palette # 138 over at The Color Room, but first the palette itself. Neutral, dark, earthy and rich colours
I felt the rich muted colours needed a photo that adds more colour as contrast and found this one on internet.
Here is my page "Summer Shoes";
The background paper is Basic Grey Serenade. Fell for the sweet birdies on a branch down to the right and the stripey borders.
At the moment am looking at what the Polish scrappers create and find inspiration from their messy stamping and wonderfully free artistic expressions. I am faaaaar from getting anywhere near them in my own scrapping but picking up little bits and pieces and adapting them to my own style.
The sticker alpha is from Basic Grey Lucille. Stamping from lots of different places.
Ripped some canvas and misted in TA Old Lace + Wheatfield + Walnut Gold. Found some beaded stickpins in a drawer. That bingo card is old as the hills.
And that's it! short and sweet this time!
CSI released another awesome case file last night, I can promise the colours are beautiful! I'll be back on Tuesday to share my DT page for case file nbr 47.
Have a wonderful weekend wherever you are and whatever your plans are!!
Toodelipip! xoxo Eila

ReplyDeleteGood morning Eila, the weather here is windy and sunny but better than the rain that came yesterday! Loving all the stamping that you are doing lately, your style is changing, great layouts, I think I have missed a few posts, so caught up with a pot of tea. A visit in March sounds fanttastic, let me know the dates as soon as you can as I have a few thing on in March! Take care, enjoy the rest of the weekend x
ReplyDeleteOooh how I love that pop of Med blue against the cool neutrals....good call my friend :0)Darling detail, especially your feathered friend and the 'free' stamping is fabulous!! You are not alone in missing the festive spirit....but why worry...it's still November!! ;0) Christmas starts earlier every year, as soon as the kids go back in September the supermarkets create a Christmas aisle....bloomin' ridiculous...bah humbug LOL Advent stars on the window???? Tell me more, sounds delightful xxx
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! love how busy it is, with all the embellies:))) great job!
ReplyDeleteFantastisk sida. Så snyggt med det blåa till den beige/grå/svarta färgskalan. Underbara detaljer som alltid! Å jag gillar hur du plockar inspiration från andra och lyckas få det till ditt eget.
ReplyDeleteJag har också pysslat lite efter två veckor utan att jag gjort en enda layout! Fatta det du ;). Så det uppdateras nog lite nytt i min blogg de kommande dagarna.

So inspiring Eila :) I am so loving your eclectic style! Yum!
ReplyDeleteStunning, your style is 'you' can always tell its an Eila layout.... beautiful layout!
ReplyDeleteLove the pop of blue against the neutral background. There is something in the Polish air and the Norwegian water, isn't it, Eila!!!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful photo to scrap - love the fabric pieces on the layout to enhance that summer feel!
ReplyDeleteHi dear E! we had a great time away, now back to normal - just love the photo in this page against the neutral tones, fabulous work once again as Sandie said i can recognise you pages now.
ReplyDeletehave a good one
cheers
Lindy xoxo
So inspirational Eila! WOOOOOO!!! Just love pouring over all your details! I can't get enough of the Polish girls this year either - Anne Marie Wolniak & Worqshop are my faves by far - and the ILS blog - wooooow I could drool there all day long...SO sorry the Chrissy spirit isn't grabbing you right now. It's starting here but only in the malls and I find that just so materialistic & commercial. We aren't decorating at all this year so it's a bit bleak but no point for reasons you know :)
