The PaperHaus Magazine winter issue nbr 5 - my layout "Frosty Fun" - page 47


Hello hello!

So life is back to normal again. My stash purging is at a stand-still, I'm discovering so much stuff that I had forgotten all about. Some make me wonder what on earth I was thinking, other things make the little gray cells start turning with new ideas. My nook is a bombsite in other words. Well - it's always a bombsite but now it's even worse.

Aaaanyhow, here's another page that I was fortunate to have published in the PaperHaus Magazine's winter issue nbr 5 - "Frosty Fun". It can be found on page 47 under the section Dreamsketch.

Imagine a cold winter's day with sunshine and the 
whole world dressed in glittering frost.   
Snowflakes gently dancing through the air. 
Beautiful as can be!

This photo is used as a whole-page introduction 
to the Dreamsketch.





Here's the DH of the Finnish photographer
whose photos I am allowed to use.
The white little furbaby with red scarf, is Mr Svante.






That's it!

The PaperHaus Magazine Winter Issue nbr 5 - my layout "Joy" - page 61

Hello hello!

Sharing my second Chrissy themed page published in The PaperHaus Magazine's winter issue nbr 5. This layout can be found on page 61 in the Gallery section.


In Sweden we always fare for the birds and 
woodland animals at wintertime 
as the heavy snow makes it very hard 
for them to find food. 

The red winter apples in the birdhouse and 
the thick layers of fluffy white snow 
inspired me to create this page.

The PaperHaus Winter Issue - my layout "Christmas Kiss" - page 43

Hi there!

2014 is in full swing and work has commenced, albeit at a slightly slower pace than normally but it will soon gain speed again. People have really enjoyed their time off and so have I.

I am incredibly blessed to have 5 layouts published in The PaperHaus Winter Issue nbr 5. The themes for my pages are Christmas and Winter so I thought I'd start sharing the close-ups of the Chrissy one first even if we are over and done with the Season.

First one up is my "Christmas Kiss" which can be found on page 43 under the section "Paperhues". It was framed and given to a very dear friend instead of a Christmas card.



There is something about snowmen and gently falling snowflakes 
that make me think of Christmas. 
Combine them with the traditional colours of red, green and gold 
and the page scrapped itself!







 I found the photo on internet quite a while ago, 
unfortunately I cannot remember where.
All credit to the unknown photographer.
