Hello,...-and Goodbye....

Hi there dear Inkido friends, it's Bente here!

It's with a heavy heart I write this post because it will be my last one here on the Inkido blog and as part of the Inkido DT. I have new adventures on the horizon, but that does not mean I'm not sad to see Inkido close down. Inkido/Papercraft Scandinavia has been part of the Scandinavian scene for around eight years and will surely be missed!

I have made a card that says Hello, when it should really say Goodbye, but hopefully there will be many more chances for all of us to meet in many other places in the vast cyberspace.

 And here are a coupole of close ups of my card:

I used the latest and last collection Spring Time for this page and combined with some older papers.

That's all from me!
From now you can find me on my own blog or we will meet somewhere else in cyberspace!
Thank you for your support of Inkido and our design team.
 I hope we'll meet again soon!

Hugs!!

Milan Trip

Hello again. 

I am back with a new page using the Beautiful Memories collections.

The picture is from a trip we made to wonderful Milan a few years back taken in front of the impressing Milan Cathedral. So many beautiful things to see around the Plaza and so many great coffees to be had :-)

And here are some close ups for you:

I made some different flowers using my favourite flower die and one of the pretty Inkido papers.

 I used my border punches to give the papers  and layers an even more feminine expression.

 Here you can see how well these papers go together. The colours are so soft and gorgeous.

Thanks for dropping by and thanks for looking. I hope you like my Milan page :-)

Products used:
Beautiful Memories:
Beautiful Beige
Blue Angels,
Beautiful Blue,
Pink Butterflies,

'Adore', mix of collections.

Hi it's me Bente here again to share my latest page that I made with lovely Inkido supplies!
I had so much fun mixing and matching a few papers etc from different collections. It is so easy to combine the paper collections as they are all very sweet and feminine, and often in the same or complementing colour range.

Here are some closeups too:

There is some layering underneath the photomat. I used gesso through a mask as well.
The little buttterfly was cut from one of the patterned papers.

 I cut the lamp with my Silhouette Cameo and added a sweet vintage picture with flowers on it, also from one of the patterned papers.

Some of the Inkido products I used are:
Beautiful Memories- Butterflies borders
Beautiful Memories- Pink Memories
Beautiful Memories II- Pink Flowers
Beautiful Memories II- Yellow Flowers
Forever Summer- Spring Time No5


Another good news we have today...
Congratulations Annette!
We loved your project made for a challenge in January!Please contact us regarding the prize!

'Tween' and a look at the NEW Inkido collection!!

Hi, it's me Bente here to share my 2nd lo for January.
I had this photo laying on my scraptable for a long time waiting to scrap it.I think it is pretty cute. The hands belong to my youngest DD and she was twelve when I took it. When I look at the photo it truly takes me back to what I felt like when I was a young girl, almost a teenager.
It is important to preserve the everyday memories and I wanted to document this.

It was easy to mix quite a few different papers as Inkido has such a comprehensive collection.
Most of the collections mix very well. Makes it easy to create pages that turn out differently just by adding another pattern from our stash.

As always I adore using some fussy cut butterflies on my page.

The beautiful lace you see here is also sold by Inkido. And they have other pretty styles as well.

Thanks for taking the time to visit us today. I hope you liked my page.
Remember to come back tomorrow for a new post by one of my fabulous DT friends.

Here are some of the products that I used on my page:

Beautiful Memories II -Pink Flowers
Beautiful Memories -Beautiful Pink
Beautiful Memories II -Pink Romance
Beautiful Memories _Butterflies Borders
Mulberry gardenia, purple
Harmony flowers, pink
Lace white, -width 34mm
Valentine _Old Pink Rose



We also hope you will love our new papers!

'She's got the Look' for Inkido January challenge.

 Hi there!

Nice to see you here at the Inkido blog again. I am delighted to tell those of you who have not already heard, that I am back for a new term and get to work with all the new awesome girls on the team as well as some of my old DT friends. Happy tidings!!

Kul att se er igen såhär på det nya året! Jag är lycklig att få berätta att jag blir kvar här ett tag till och får jobba med de nya härliga tjejerna och även några av mina 'gamla' DT kollegor. Jag lovar er det  kommer att bli ett grymt 2014!!

This page was made with inspiration from the mood board for the Inkido January challenge HERE. Go check it out. I was inspired by the light Scandinavian colours and the flowers among other things. What will inspire you?....

Denna sidan gjordes med inspiration av Januari's utmaning her på Inkido bloggen. Du hittar den HÄR. Jag inspirerades av de ljusa färgerna och blommorna.

I have made so many cards and pages with the beautiful Winter collection from Papercraft Scandinavia; Happy Christmas, that when I was sent some different papers for my kit this time I used some immediately.
This page was made mainly with 'Beautiful Memories'.
(I will add the names of the papes at the end :-) )

Jag har gjort så många jul/vinter ispirerade projekt med den senaste urläckra julkollektionen, men nu när det fanns en del andra papper i mitt DT kit kliade det i fingrarna att göra en annan typ av sida.
Til denna sidan har jag mest använt 'Bautiful Memories'.
(Namn på papperna jag har använt kommer på slutet av inlägget :-) )

Inkido have some lovely mini roses and other flowers as well as these pretty pink jewels that I like to add here and there on  my pages. They come in a multitude of colours.

Inkido har som ni säkert vet en hel del fina blommor, både minirosor och andra. De har dessutom några jättefina blingstenar som finns i ett flertal färger. Här har jag använt de rosa att strö lite här och var på sidan.

As always a lot of layering and stitching on my page . That pretty white lace was also in my DT kit from Inkido.

Som vanligt har jag använt mig av många lager på lager här och dessutom har jag lite svårt att scrappa en sida utan att använda min symaskin en hel del,....

I adore the whimsy look added by the butterflies strewn all over my page. They are cut from various of the patterned papers and there are many different ones.

Jag gillar det lite busiga uttrycket av fjärilarna som flyger lite här och där på min sida.Jag har klippt dom från olika Inkido papper och det finns så många olika fina fjärilar att använda.

A closer look at the stitching that I painted over with gesso.

Sedan en liten närbild på maskinsöm som fått ett lager gesso på toppen.

That was my share for today! I hope you enjoyed it and take some inspiration from it. At least let me tell you I had a lot of fun putting it together!

Det var allt för denna gången. Hoppas ni känner er åtminstone lite inspirerade. Jag kan säga som så att jag iallafall hade jättekul under processen :-)

'Sweet Smile' using Harmony Flowers and 'Happy Christmas'

Hi! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday and are feeling well rested.

First of all I want to remind you there is still a couple of days left to enter my December challenge.
It is to use stars or snowflakes on your projects. You can link up in the right sidebar.

Today is my last post for this year, but I am happy to say that I'll be keeping in touch since I am part of the new DT starting in a few days for 2014.

Here is the page I wanted to show you today:

I made it mostly using the latest collection from Inkido called 'Happy Christmas' and also the lovely pink Harmony Flowers.

I have some closeups to share with you as well:

I used several of the pink Harmony Flowers, but those packages are so full that there are still some left :-)

 

And here are a few of the other products I used:

Thanks for dropping by, and I hope you'll visit us soon again!!

 

'Frosty Friends' with 'Happy Christmas'.

Hi it's me Bente here on this beautiful Sunday to share a frosty Winter page with you. I used the gorgeous latest collection by Inkido and this page was my contribution to the blog hop promoting the new release of PaperHaus magazine.

I used the delightful collection 'Happy Christmas'.

I used an older photo of my youngest and her BFF. 

(These are both very sensible girls but will occationally get up to some mischief :-) )

The flowers are all from Inkido. I used both Harmony flowers and Fashion Flowers (red).

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut most of these shapes and borders. For an accent I added some 

red Viva pearl maker to the vine underneath the picture.

 Finally a shot to show some of the dimension I wanted to add to my page.

I love using black and white photographs on my pages as they are so neutral and permit adding a lot of bits and pieces that us scrapbookers love!

Here are some of the goods I used:

Thanks for dropping by!!
