More Custom-Made Layouts

August 5, 2010 - 2:15 pm 2 Comments

A LOT is going on behind the scene of swissgirlDesigns right now! I am creating layout after layout for a big surprise! Also this surprise has to be created and so I am busy all the time :)

Yesterday I finished that one custom made album I was showing you just a few days ago. Now it’s done, how sad… But there are so many more projects waiting for me, so I can’t really complain about that ;)

Once again, you will see my new stamps all over the layouts ;) I just love them soooo much!!!

As a last page of an album I like to create a “Pocket-Layout” where I can put in ephemeras and journalilng. Here I created the pocket all myself. I think it looks pretty awesome ;)

New Layouts

August 3, 2010 - 3:18 pm 3 Comments

Hi there! I have been so uninspired for the last couple of days and when I wanted to make a layout it would just not flow. I hate that. It was horrible. But then, one sunny morning I was inspired again. I printed out a couple of pictures and sat down with them and tataaaaa, I made a new record! Four (4) Layouts in just one (1) single day!

So anyways, I wanted to show three of them to you. There are two things that are very special about them.

  1. They are for a customer (thank you Meg for this awesome opportunity!)
  2. You see the FIRST SNEEK PEAKS OF MY CLEAR STAMPS on the layouts!!!!!

I hope you like it… :)

a very simple yet elegant layout about the bride… Here you see the stamp “what a great Day” on the lower right corner of the pictures.

This layout is the cover for the whole album. Here you see the owls, the speech bubble and the stamp “the beginning of something New”

a close-up of the owls…. love them!!

On this layout I wanted to give the bride and groom an opportunity to write down some of their own thoughts about their wedding. Here you see the “Notes to last forever” stamp.

What do you think about the stamps?? Do you like them?? I hope so :D I am having so much fun to mix and match the four sets with each other! Hope you will so too :)

Mini Album

July 12, 2010 - 3:00 pm No Comments

Today I would like to show you a mini album that I made as a wedding present for Adrian’s best friend. I created this album with a lot of free space so they can put in their own favorite wedding pictures when they get home from their honeymoon :) Hopefully they will like it….

I used book rings so if they want they could add pages to the album later on.

On a couple pages I used some Gesso to give the Kraft Cardstock some texture.

As you can see I used my two stamp sets to give them some special journaling spots throughout the album.

Project Video….

February 15, 2010 - 12:59 pm 1 Comment

Today I am going to show you my newest project :)

A few days ago (actually yesterday…) I saw my mom’s agenda and since I was a little bored at the moment I asked her if I should create a nice cover for it. Well… She said yes and today I did it :)   Her eyes were sparkeling when I gave it to her and that is the best thing I can get, when I scrapbook for somebody :D

SWISSGIRLDESIGNS CLEAR STAMPS UPDATE!! I wanted to let you know, that Nadine Feil and I got many orders in advance for my new high quality clear stamps. If you would like to get them too, please make a reservation here on my blog or write me an e-mail on rahel@swissgirldesigns.com, because we have a very limited number of them.

new Projects with my Designs ;)

February 12, 2010 - 9:42 am 2 Comments

I was so inspired by my stamp designs, that I had to scrapbook a little more ;) hihi

So I made this layout and a frame. The layout is for the custom order of a wedding. It will be a 10 page album about the bachelor party and the wedding itself. I looooove to do that kind of work :)

Oh yeah, before I forget, if you would like to get a stamp set you should let me know as soon as possible ;) They are going away like crazy!!! I have already so many reservations that we have to think about producing more stamps ;) LOL

And then we have the frame… It is originally from IKEA. It comes as a blank white or black frame and is very shiny. I just had that item left and thought about making a big a statement with it so I took some paper tissues and glued them with a mix of white glue and water onto the surface. It is such a quick and easy way. If you would like to get a colored frame, just paint it with acrylic paint!! So much fun!!
