Good morning Cheery Lynn Fans.

I am so happy you are here with me today. I have a 8x8 layout to show you all made with the lovely Maja Design's "Joyous Winter Days" papers and some of my precious Cheery Lynn dies. I wanted to create a winter landscape with that cute picture I used. 

Great Joy Magical World: 

First, I spayed with white colored spray on my background and then I inked the edges with gesso and dark ink. Then I added a star stencil on my background. The flowers were already prepared so I added them too after I placed the picture. 

After that I cut our a whole bunch of leaf dies to add them to my flower clusters....and this time I did not add any snow elements because I thought it looked snowy enough. This was a really fun layout to make. 

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used: 

B481 - Joy to the World Wreath

E200 - Cut and Emboss Snowflake #1

DL276 - Mandy Doily

D136 - Dimensional Large Leaves #2

B181A - Embellishment #1

B777 - Floral Bouquet Kit

B388 - Wheat Heads

B146 - Pine Branches

    Good morning lovely Cheery Lynn Fans.

Today it's me again to show you a 8x8 layout using some older dies but also some of the newer ones. For this layout I used the pretty new "Joyous Winterdays"collection by Maja Design but also some other collections by Maja as well. 

All That Glitters: 

I love adding layers to my work so this layout is created with four without counting the layers underneath the picture. The vintage dies by Cheery Lynn are by far the best dies to use on a layout as well as their flower dies which I totally LOVE.....

To finish my layout I added some snow here and there and also some white & shimmer spray to make it sparkle a bit but you don't see that so much on my layout sadly.

B154 - Medium Rose
B885 - Wrought Iron Fence
B887 - Distressed Honeycomb

Good morning lovely fans.
Do you also love summer as much as I do?
 I just can not say goodbye to it yet....so I will not and you will see that on my 8x8 layout that I show you today. For this layout I used a picture of our son back in 2010 when we where in Spain for our vacation I just can't get enough of these lovely pictures of him. I used the amazing "Sand & Sea" collection by 49 and Market for this layout.

The Beach Life: 
First I cut out all the dies that I wanted to use as I normally do when I create a project for Cheery Lynn Designs. Then I place them on my background sheet and pick out what I like best....after that I work on my background with stamps, sprays and paste. I distressed all the edges you see on my work also the mat behind my picture and the outer borders of my layout.


The flowers are treated with Lindy´s Magicals and white spray and I added a pearl in the centers. For the background I used a bubble stencil with paste.  Once it dried I added star dust Stickles on the bubbles to let it shine a bit.

I just love how the dies compliment the paper and the colors go so well together. I am very happy this layout tuned out the way it did. Don't you just love these flowers??? Awesome Bohemian collection -one of my favorites of Cheery Lynn Designs.

Good morning Cheery Lynn Fans.
I hope you are all enjoying your summer vacation. Mine just started and I can't wait spend some precious time with my little family. By the end of the week we are leaving for a camping ground in our own country.  Oh I just can't wait.... no scrapping for me for a week though, so that is going to be a big trial for me since I scrap almost every day. For today I am sharing another 8x8 layout made with some pretty Maja Design papers using some of the new Cheery Lynn Dies on which I am totally hooked.  Wow, these dies are amazing L.O.V.E. them to bits.

Sweet Baby Boy:
 This layout was really easy to make.  I had the design in my head and then I punched out all the dies I wanted to use and distressed/colored them where needed. Then I picked out the picture I was going to use and voila...I always tend to make a picture of my work when building up my page and that is what I did here too.

  I watered the paper and ruffled it before I treated the background with clear gesso, stamps, paste and sprays.  At the end I added all the dies to complete my layout. Those B890 - Weathered Scrolls are so amazing and versatile.  You can use them for any occasion you get three.  This one was fitted best for a baby layout {at least that is what hubby told me}.


Yes, sometimes I do ask my husband what would fit best on my layout. Most of the time I show him two options and most of the time I pick a different one then he does lol...but he sure is a great help. The centers of the blue flowers are handmade and so easy.  I made them using foam balls, hot glue and mini prills. I also added a cute flair which says: "Smile to the World" I am so hooked on those at the moment I can't stop myself from using them.....lol

Good morning lovelies.

Today it's my turn again to show you how I used my precious "Cheery Lynn Designs"dies. 

This time I made a 8x8 layout again {it's been ages since I did one} using a old picture of my mother in law, she is in her seventies now and on the picture she was just four years old, such a cutie pie...

I ordered some foam from England last week because I saw some lovely flowers made out of them on YouTube...and I have to say I LOVE that stuff.  I am hooked now lol.

Timeless Photograph:   

I cut out the flower dies times four then I used my heat gun to curl my flowers. This layout came out so easily. For the flower centers I used some stamen and a diamond gem on top of that. These papers I used are from such a thick quality that it's really easy to distress it. 

In some of the dies I left the cut out bits and pieces because I really think shabby chic is all about that.  The word stickers are inked with white ink and I added a treat underneath the picture. In my flower clusters I added some cheesecloth.


  I really adore how much depth the flowers have with the foam & dies I used wow. I am totally going to make more flowers with my Cheery Lynn Designs flower dies on my next projects so keep a close eye on this amazing blog.

Have a lovely weekend.

Good morning lovelies. 

Did you enjoy all the projects made with all the lovely new Fall & Winter Holiday releases?

 I really enjoyed looking at everyone's work, so many new ideas pop up in my mind. 

Although I am not such a fan of Christmas & Halloween dies these babies make make me sing {and believe me I can't sing}!

 So you probably will see me make more of those kind of cards around that time but for now I made a 8x8 layout again as promised. As maybe many of you know I am a sucker for Cheery Lynn Designs flower dies so this layout is loaded with many of these wonderful dies.

My Fabulous Men: 

A couple weeks back we took a selfie with our dog {Fibi my princes} only my husband did not have his sunglasses on so it looks like he pooped in his pants lol....hihihi!

For this layout I used the gorgeous "Nyhavn" collection by Maja Design which is by far my most favorite collection to design with ever not sure why but probably because there are so many masculine elements.   

I used part of the B338 - Black Eyed Susan Strip as a center for my build a flower die. I firstly made the flowers petals wet and wrinkly, then layered them on top of a circle I cut out just like I wanted it to be. The word men was made with partly the B410 - My {set of 2} and the other two letters came out of the FS171 - Delicate Lace Script!
