Petaloo

Fairy

For me Spring doesn't really start until we go to the Elf Fantasy Fair. All the beautifully dressed up people, the little fairies, the castle and the beautiful surroundings really put me in the mood for spring.

I take lots and lots of pictures and I cannot wait to get home to scrap them all. Amber wanted to be a nature fairy... lots of green and pink in her clothes and her facepaint. Loved the combination of pink and green flowers to complement the photo.

Hope this will inspire you to put the spring in your layout.

Hugs from Holland,

Mireille

From Paris with Love - part 2

In april I showed a layout with Amber on the Eifel tower in Paris using beautiful spring flowers.

Today I have a simular photo only I turned it into a more vintage layout using the beautiful Darjeeling Collection of Medium and Mini flowers by Petaloo.

This flower collection has lots of great flower shapes such as Hydrangeas and Mini Daisies in the perfect vintage colors of cream, black and burgundy!  In addition, many of these flowers have really cool metal centers. The best part of these flowers?  They are made from Recycled paper!

There are lots of papers to match these flowers... Tim Holtz, Graphic 45 and Bo Bunny are just a few.   Why don't you pick some up and make your own Vintage layout today?!

Supplies for the layout:

Darjeeling mini mix# 1462-003

Darjeeling mini mix:#1462-001

Darjeeling Hydrangea #1460-004

*Darjeeling Petites #1465-001

 

Hope you enjoyed this small variation to the Paris theme,

From Paris with Love

Dear Blog readers.

Mireille here... Last month we started spring with a visit to Euro Disney in Paris. We had blast but it was Amber's big wish to see Paris for real.. the city.. outside the Disney park. She so wanted to see the Eiffel Tower. She said it was her biggest wish in the world.. a wish from the heart. So how could we refuse?  We had a blast.. Paris was beautiful.. the Eiffel tower was beautiful, but most of all I enjoyed watching my little/ big girl enjoy herself. Before we went she made a study out of the Eiffel tower.. and her teacher helped her.. looking everything up on the computer. How long it took for them to build it.. how many people build it .. when.. and why.. and how high it is.

And high it was at the top. She enjoyed the view till she ran out of pocket money.. (and believe me she saved a lot) There was nothing more I could do then scrap this photo of this wonderful moment using the beautiful soft pink tones of the Spring Darjeeling Collections. I  especially am very fond of the little pearls in the mini pearl daisies.. I thought they were só "Paris"

Pink everywhere

Little girls and pink go together very well. I loved creating this page with my daughter and her friend and all the pink goodness. 

The pink flowers are part of Petaloo's "Spring Darjeeling" flower Collection.  This color is called Hyacinth... Plus, it's easy to find paper to match these flowers!  Lots of companies have sweet, pink papers that coordinate perfectly!!

 
Love the new flowers and the sweet little images that go together so well. The Spring Darjeeling flowers come in so many sizes and perfectly coordinated colors, it is easy to mix them together and create a stunning border to frame your pictures!  A touch of butterflies to finish it. and ready is this tribute to friendship.

Take a look at the 3 dimensional images that Petaloo makes called the "Vintage Dazzler" Collection!!  They are lightly glittered and work beautifully with these flowers!  They come in 2x3 shapes, but I cut them to make them stand out on my layout! Pretty, huh? (Both the image with the dove and the image of the little girl are from the Vintage Dazzler ~ Floral package)

Are you ready for spring from Holland?

Dear Petaloo fans, Mireille here waving "hi" from Holland. I know it's still a long time till spring but I am sooo ready for it! I had so much fun creating a little touch of spring with these happy colors...

I have said it before and I will say it again. I love flowers and I think they go very well on "boy- layouts" too. The blue's and green's  were perfect for these photo's and they match the paper very, very well.

My son Noah with his best friend "in Paradise" - at the local ice cream parlour getting an icecream after having fun at the fair. They had tons of fun over there too.  (This paper by Graphic 45 may be called "Tropical Travelogue", but it works beautifully for any everyday project!!)  Look how perfectly the Petaloo flowers match the G45 paper...it makes me want to create, create and create!

Enjoy, Mireille

Petaloo and Graphic45 - Gala party

Starting the year in style with a gala party.

Amber had her black dress with gold glitters for over a year.. I made her wear it over a black longsleeve shirt... thought it was way to cold for "just a dress".. She kept saying she wanted a  "galadress" .. no "little girls dress". During christmasdinner at school she was seated next to her friends.. all in "galadresses".. except for her. Then I understood and changed my mind. Let her wear her dress as a "galadress" during our christmasparty. She was so happy and behaved so classy. It made me smile big. When I saw the classy Graphic45 papers and the beautiful Darjeeling collection from Petaloo I knew it would be the perfect match. I love the warm classy feel of the flowers and the fact they come in different sizes.

I Used the mini flowers for my title area and the larger ones in the bottom corners. The small leaves are the perfect finishing touch.

Wishing eveyone a very Merry Christmas from Sweden...

I so love mini decorations. I just knew when I got the Flora Doodles mini florettes I had to create small stuff.

I started with making christmas tags. We will celebrate christmas with my brother and his

family and my parents. 

There will be a lot of gifts under the tree and the tags will come in handy apart from the fact that I had a blast making them. The mini flowers with the jeweled center are the

perfect final touch.

Not only on tags.. but also on this small label mini album I made for the kids. It's really very tiny and these flowers are just what the album needed.

Then I made some small boxes just big enough for a christmas chocolate.

I hope you enjoyed these mini ideas and that they are usefull as some quick last minute projects.

Have a Merry Christmas

Mireille

The holiday papers from Jillibean Soup match our flowers so well...we could not resist creating one more project.  Enjoy...

Hello everyone...Mireille here to show you a wonderful layout with Jillibean and Petaloo!

I had so much fun working with the beautiful Winter Collection ( Christmas Eve Chowder) Don't you love the way the flowers match the paper???

I chose to do a "winter project" in stead of a christmas project. I love this photo of Amber in the snow.

On the sign next to the title I used the Jeweled Florettes - Red/Pink/Green/Chart #1350-502 The cute little pink flowers with a jewel center. I also used them below the pinguins and on the scalloped border. I used Flora Doodles - Candies Poinsettias #1284-192 ;  Sweetpea chart/white/dark green #1455-006 and  Brighton white /achart/ dkGreen #1456-006 in the right corner of the photograph

Autumn with Petaloo

Today we have a wonderful autumn posting from DT member Mireille Divjak in the Netherlands.

Enjoy all the beautiful & rich colors...

Wonderful, magnificent autumn with your beautiful colors. I love to walk outside and enjoy the palet nature creates for me. I love when it's still warm enough to not wear a jacket. On one of these days we went to an event where they were showing all kinds of birds to the audience. Noah really wanted to hold "Mr. Owl". He just melted my heart when he held up his hand.. a little nervous.. and said "Hi Mr. Owl... I am Noah". I knew I had to scrap these photo's.

I had a lot of fun mixing up these blooms. Large blooms and smaller blooms, color me crazy Vines ( I colored them with alcohol inks) and butterflies.

Whether you want to create a Winter project or a Holiday layout or card, these Holiday Dazzlers are fun and easy to use!  They are multi-dimensional "Peel N Stick" glittered embellishments! 

This wonderful card and layout were designed by DT member Tanisha Long using the "Winter Wonderland" Reindeer Dazzlers.  Don't you love the silver bells? (the reindeer come in traditional red too!) The backround comes from a matching Glittered Paper Pack by Petaloo in the same "Winter Wonderland" colors!  Add some embossed paper, a ribbon along the bottom and a message from Quick Quotes & soon you have a fabulous card to send to freinds or relatives!  

This layout by DT member Mireille Divjak uses the "Winter Wonderland" Dazzler Stars X 32 and the Glittered Paper Pack in "Winter Wonderland" as well as the Reindeer Dazzlers.  

I get the chills looking at these projects don't you? How "cool" ...

Thanks Mireille!
