Today we are very glad to announce that we are going to have Ellen Kristiansen as a Guest Designer for a couple of months. We are so excited to be taking part of her paper crafting talent, and we are sure she will bring out the best in our papers. So let’s give a warm welcome to Ellen, and let her tell us a bit more about herself and her interest for paper crafting!

My name is Ellen Kristiansen, I’m 56 years old and I live in a little city by the sea,  Sandefjord/ Norway.
I am very honored to be a Guest Designer for Pion Design, the papers I’ve loved since the first sight. I’ve always been involved in some creative hobby, but I became “addicted” to this paper and stamp hobby around Christmas 2009, when I wanted to make my own Christmas cards for friends and family.

What I like most is to create different types of cards, tags, and sometimes altered projects, and I use any free time to indulge myself in my hobbyroom.I love vintage and shabby style, while I like to try making some steampunk gentleman cards. I also love using the sewing machine on my cards/projects.

It’s such an honour for me to be a Guest here at Pion Design, and look forward to showing you my creations.

Wish you all a beautiful and creative day!

Hugs, Ellen

 For my first official blog post, as a Pion Design Guest designer, I’ve created a card with some of these new -realesed papers from the collection Wintertime in Swedish Lapland ♥

For my first card I’ve used some of the lovely bluetones sheets, “Deers” and “Icicles”, and the image are from the sheet “Images”. They are soo beautiful, and I really got the Christmas feeling when I created this card.

I’ve distressed, and painted around the edges with Gesso.
I love this vintage/shabby look on all of the  Pion Designs beautiful papers♥

For the inside I’ve used the sheet “Images” on the panels, and a tag for personal greetings, from “Cut out”.
I’m looking forward to sharing more Pion Designs creations with you in the future. I truly adore these papers.

Have a lovely Day!

Hugs, Ellen

I used the charming deep blue papers of For Father to make this project.  The top box opens for ample photo storage space and the bottom box has a pull-out mini album.

Have a great day!

    • También debe aceptar que durante un largo período de tiempo puede que tenga que cambiar la dosis de Viagra que usted está tomando , ya que puede llegar a ser tolerante con la droga. Si usted tiene una condición de salud grave, como enfermedad del corazón , donde es posible que no los aumentos de esta dosis , entonces debería buscar tratamientos alternativos antes de que los efectos de las pastillas de Viagra en españa dejan de funcionar con eficacia.ReplyCancel
