Prima December 2013 BAP and a give-away

Not long now before we say bye to 2013 and hello to 2104. Looking back I say - what a year it has been!

Life has a way of throwing in surprises when we least expect them, both good and those that we can categorize under lessons. More than ever it has become evident to me that having a good health is the greatest gift of all, as is love. Without any of them, nothing else matters. 

Back to scrappy business. I've had both the Prima December BAP and PPP sitting unfinished on my desk for a couple of weeks. I finished the BAP today and as the rains of the passed several days subsided for a beautiful sun, I could photograph it too. Kind of kept to the sketch.

2013 December BAP Magda 
And here is my take - "The Robin". 
All stash-raided stuff on this one as well.

Letting the photos speak for themselves.

 
 I extremely rarely use only white cardstock
as base for my page. 
Here I have used 
just one piece of patterned paper
from the beautiful Delight collection,
 the rest is soft mixed media.

 All the flowers used were loose in a box, 
so I haven't got their names or product numbers.




 Here I have layered punched strips from the same 
patterned paper from the Delight collection 
with lace washi.
 
 Just love the genie stones! they always add
that extra little to any page.

***
 I have started on my second stash
purge of this year. Still have
oodles to go through before I'm done.

Here's a little give-away from Norwegian
Papir Design that any of my followers
can win. 
You only have to leave
a comment on this blogpost et voilà!

Hubby will draw one name from the box
at noon CET on 1 January 2014.


Not saying Happy New Year yet, 
who knows - I might be back sooner than expected!

Thanks so much for taking the time to 
come for a visit!

Toodelipip! xoxo Eila

  7. Fantastic flowers in your giveaway. I can never have enough of them I even have to resort to making my own when I need something I haven't got on hand.Your layout is so lovely I'm intrigued by the zip pull I've often wondered about how to use a zipper pull in an interesting way. I also was surprised by the use of the word "Toodelipip" @ the end of your post , I've not heard that in years. x

  11. Your health is always important, and it truly is one of those things that you don't realize how good you have it until you lose it (or maybe just reminds you a little). I had to sit up and take notice in 2013 - so 2014 will have to be a year in which I reclaim my health. Not easy, but there you are. Thank you for all your shares, tips, and inspiration. Julie
