Forever Happiness layout for ***BoBunny***

Hi everyone,
As I am writing this it's sounds like war outside it's new years eve and almost 9 PM.
This will be my last layout for 2014 I share with you all.  2014 was a roller coaster year for my family and me. Let's hope 2015 brings us more happiness like my layout says "Forever Happiness"
For this layout I used the blues & yellow in the pretty "Rose Cafe"collection.
I think this collection looks a lot like Delfts Blue pottery which in my eyes is very Dutch!

Forever Happiness: 
BoBunny is teaming up with Leaky Shed Studio's this month and I used the leftovers I had for this wintery layout.

Hi everyone, 
It´s the 16th again and that means I can share my "Scrap Around the World" layout with you all. This mood board was so inspirational for me thank you so much Anna.
Let´s have a look:
Gorgeous right? I knew exactly which papers I was going to for this layout the newest "Altitude" collection by BoBunny. I really loved to see the touches of red this mood board has.
This is what I have created using this magical mood board. 

Hello Winter:  
The picture I used is from two winters ago when we had a really cold winter with lots of snow and ice. It´s my hubby and sweet son.
Let´s look a little closer:

Guest Designer for ***LemonCraft*** papers by Anna Zaprzelska


Hi everyone, 
So glad to see you back again.
Today I would like to share with you my works for my guest designer spot over at: 
A while back they had a design team call and I wasn't chosen to be on the team but I got a guest spot this month. Anna her papers are a delight to work with I really love the dimension the papers have. She also has a whole bunch of uber cute embellishments to work with like lace, buttons, brads, die cuts, and flowers. If you want to see my work you can also visit the LemonCraft blog ==> here <==
Now for my projects first I would like to show you a layout:  

On this Day: 

This is a picture of my cousin on the left who is my age {36} with her beautiful teenage daughter {19} yes I know she was very young when Nadine was born. 
I miss them like crazy but I am glad that there is Facebook to see what they are all up to!
This layout design just popped up into my head so this was a layout I made within two hours while normally it takes me almost eight hours for just one layout. 


The flowers with the blocks on them are handmade but the brown one is in the flower pack.
On this layout I also used a bunch of Imaginarium Designs chipboard. 
Like the handwritten words and the cute little branches. 


Don't you just love this pretty pink lace I got to work with. 
And look at the cute clock button below it's adorable.


The package Anna send me is totally up my ally with all pink and girly, thank you so much Anna loved working with your pretty papers. 
Now for my second layout I used a picture of myself during my wedding day back in 2012 with my niece "princess Emmelie"hihi that's what I call her.
On this picture she was still smiling but later on she was crying like crazy. 

Capture Today:  

You know what's weird this design just popped into my head to I think it's because of the papers.
But this one took me longer then two hours. 
Let's have a closer look: 



The hugh fabric flower is also handmade and the little paper ones too I just couldn't stop making them but I had to because I ran out of paper grin....


For my third project I made a mini album {it's a Imaginarium Designs chipboard book} 
I covered it all with the beautiful papers and stitched and distressed the borders.
I think I am going to use it as a gift to my sister in law to put pictures in from her three little girls.

Mini Album: 

When I looked at my picture on my phone I saw the ribbon in front of that cute little button so I quickly made another picture without the ribbon being in front of it. But then it became very dark outside and I had to take closeups too, oh boy do I hate winters.


Now you see that pretty button. 
My closeups are a little different in color because of it getting dark so fast.



Last up is my card.

Thinking of you everyday:

Now let's have a closer look:



For all these projects I used the pretty "House Of Roses"collection.


Thank you so much for your visit today I wish you all a very creative week.
And thank you so much Anna for having me as a guest designer this month.
Love
