Two Tags for Prima

Prima is having a mini blog hop with Card Maker Magazine.

You can check out the amazing projects created by the CardMaker team right here on their blog...and check out the cards & tags on the Prima blog that the design team created! 

Here are the ones I designed:

I created this "Lovely Tag" using the Anna Marie collection from Prima.

I just love this collection!! It is just so girly and pretty I just couldn't resist using one of the chipboard dresses for the centre of the tag.

This "You and Me" tag was created using the Delight Collection from Prima.

I just love the soft romantic colours from this collection. I used lots of layers and a few matching flowers for this tag.

My favorite part though was adding a feather at the top. I just love the look of it. I thought it was more original than using the usual ribbon.

Love- Inspiration for Shimmerz

For my second post this month at Shimmerz I created a colorful textured background and used a picture of my family.

To create the background I first masked a circular pattern using some light molding paste. Then I sprayed it with both Chikadee and Lime in the Coconut Shimmerz sprays.

Then using another small circular stencil, I masked the mini circles with two different colored Dazzlers: Sour Apple and Lemon Drop.

I used Before Dawn to sprinkle some dots on the background. I also used it to color the triangular banner which was then sprayed with Chikadee.

I also stamped different images on the page to help tie in the layout together. The Love title is a chipboard from 2 Crafty

White Card stock: Core'dinations

Shimmerz: Chikadee, Before Dawn, Lime in da Coconut

Delight- Featuring the Delight Collection

I just love how pretty and delicate it is. Like a little fairy which is perfect for my daughter!!

The new butterfly resins are just divine and how could I not add them in this delightful layout.

Thankful for You- Sketchbook 365 featuring BoBunny

This Month, BoBunny is sponsoring the DT at Sketchbook 365 and each one of us got one of their new collections to play with. I received the Autumn Song collection and all I have to say is that its gorgeous.

Below is the sketch we used as inspiration and we hope you come join us and play in this month's challenge.

This month the sponsor is : 

BoBunny is a family owned and operated company. They are an industry leader, producing wonderfully eclectic ranges of paper and co-ordinating accessories. It all started with two designs in a single store and now this wonderful range can be found in over 38 countries!!

This is a picture of my son sitting on a large fallen tree. I framed the picture with a frame from the BB frames and tags paper. Then I fussy cut some other images and layered them under the photo.

I used a music note stamp from the Autumn song collection to stamp a pattern underneath all the layers.

I used some of the BB metal embellishments and gemstones. I also used some metal butterflies from my stash that I layered on top of the flowers. I found these beautiful doily-like embellies in my stash and I cut them down in half to add as layers across the page.

Smile, Be Happy- 13 Arts Reveal Part 2

This is my second layout for this month's reveal at 13 Arts. It is also bold and bright like the other one but with a different colour scheme.

I built my background on top of the "Spring Morning" paper from the 13 Arts "Faces of Spring" collection. However, after applying all the mediums, you can only see a glimpse of the original paper underneath. I do have to say that the 13 Arts papers are of amazing quality. They hold up so much wet mixed media without ripping.

To start off, I created a stone like pattern in the background using a new Prima stencil and masking it with 13 Arts Modeling paste. Then I spread (generously) 13 Arts Glass filler microbeads all over the wet medium.

 I started spraying the page with three different chalk mists from 13 Arts: Yellow Lemon, Celadon and Sap Green. I let the ink drip down the page by spraying it with water to dilute the consistency. I also used some "almost dry" 13 Arts Primer from the edges of the jar. As we always have some hardened paste around the edges of the jar, I didn't want them to go to waste. Using a palette knife, I smeared them randomly on the page, creating a rough surface in my background.

I used Ranger black Archival ink and stamped a couple of different images on the page using two different Prima stamps. Then I embellished the page with 13 Arts flowers and stems. I also used Prima flowers and wooden icons, yellow seam binding, and black pearls. 

The Chipboard pieces are from 2 Crafty. I used the Avery vines and the Scallop Circle Bunting to create layers on my layout. I simply primed them in 13 Arts gesso and left them white. The "Smile" title I sprayed in Yellow Lemon spray.

Finally, to highlight the background and to bring some depth into the layout I used some 13 Arts Pearl Black mist. I sprayed it on my mat and then, using a brush, painted underneath the embellishments.

Cutie Pie- 13 Arts September Reveal part 1

Its my turn again on the 13 Arts blog and I'm here to show you my layouts for this month showcasing bright and bold colors. All Mixed Media products used here are available at the 13 Arts shop here.

To start off, I masked the purple Matte Berry Paint with a circle stencil from Prima. I masked up and down the page. Then I sprayed Chalk Fuchsia spray around the white card stock.

Then I dripped some Violet water ink on my mat and using the lid, I created small circles around the page.  I also used some Prima black coal fluid chalk ink to mask some larger circles around the LO.

Finally I used some papers from the "All is Love" collection across the page and cut a large butterfly with them. I used 13 Arts and Prima flowers to decorate around the page.

Alaska- Shimmerz Inspiration

Its my turn on the Shimmerz blog today and I created this layout about our recent trip to Alaska

It is obvious that after my trip to Alaska I would have lots of pictures to scrap. Here is a picture of my husband and I in Tracy Arm, Alaska, near the glacier.

I used Websters Pages papers and matched the embellishments to them.

I sprayed the resist canvas flourishes with Sea foam Shimmerz and the white flowers with Bamboo Leaf Shimmerz.

I used lots of blue and green tones on this layout. I created the background using Sour Apple and Gummy Berry Blue Dazzlers which are perfect for this month challenge.

Grade 2- School Memories

The Prima blog is featuring the School Memories collection and I created a layout about my daughter's first day of school in Grade 2.

To create this layout I used lots of school elements from this collection and embellishments from other collections. I combined chipboard pieces with a ruler wooden icon, a junkyard finding light bulb and the the metal frame with the inspirational words from the Engraver and Life time collections.

I used the elemental doily and masked it on the page in two different places to add interest to the layout.

I love this picture of my daughter walking away from me like a big girl. This photo above shows her feet only and I just want to freeze that moment in my mind forever.
