Thursday trends-paper punches

Hi its Thursday and its my turn to post on the blog about trends in the scrap world

Word it Wednesday

Hi everyone its Word It Wednesday with me, Malin!
This has to be one of my favorite blog themes because it seems like the possibilities are endless and it just kick started my creativity!
I thought long about which word i should scrap about.. At first i wanted to do a sort of new years resolutions page and then started to play with the word year in my head. I thought about what i wanted for this year and that lead me into thinking about something that is in my thoughts a lot right now.
I decided to scrap about it even though its not an easy subject, but its good to get your thoughts down on paper and to scrap about hard things also, it gives a sense of relief..

For about one year ago we decided that it was time to try to have another child i was so excited about trying to give the little girl here a brother or a sister.
My joy when the + sign came up on the pregnancy test was endless.. Unfortunately it ended up with a miscarriage. And so did the following pregnancy.  I still hope for another baby even though the whole process is a bit more scary now. And this is what the word Year ended up with to scrap about my feelings the last year and how i still have faith in getting another little one.

I have used mostly things from the queen bee collection, it is so gorgeous  and i love the color palette in it, from dark chocolate to light yellow green hues, and many of the papers has patterns that you can cut out and use as decorations. It gave a contrast to my photo that has a lot of pink in it. I still wanted some pink on my layout so i punched out some butterflies and added the fun new cork buttons as centers for them!

I took one of the borders from the Borderlines Clear Stickers and since my papers where so dark i decided to let the sticker stay on the sheet i cut around it and added it to my page as a border

And if you get inspired from the blog themes don’t forget to add your  Pink Paislee projects to the live pink gallery!!

Have a great Wednesday everyone

Heart shaped Box

Hi all! Malin here, doing my first post for Pink Paislee I’m so excited about being here together with all these amazing designers!!  I hope i can inspire you today with a heart shaped box made with the Cupid Collection and with products from the brand new 365 degrees collection.

Valentines day is coming up soon and i made this for a friend who actually is proposing to her boyfriend that day (schhh its a secret for now)
I started to paint the box with crackle paint and i covered the lid with this paper and decorated it with press-ons also from the Cupid collection.
The flower is made from several punched out circles that i attached together with the 365 Degrees bella brad and then cut around it to make the petals, scrunched it up a bit to give it texture.  Around the lid I added one of my own new favorite products the ribbon pleats; it gives such great texture to any project!

I finished it of with a die cut  from the 365 degrees punchout tags, added some text from the press ons and the beautiful Bella Brads again.

Around the bottom of my heart i used the Borderline Clear Stickers from the cupid collection and voila it was done! Now all I’m hoping for is that she will get a yes from her boyfriend!
Have great Tuesday everyone
