Explore- Art Banderoli Travel Album

This is my last page for my 6 months GD at Art Banderoli. This is the last layout for the travel book and its also the last photo I have of our trip to Florida in December. I love making beach pages as you might have noticed, so I don't know what I'm going to do as we won't be going to a beach anytime soon. 

I might take some pictures down by the lake, that might work lol.

This is my second time using the 2 Crafty Palm Trees. I used them for another beach layout and now for my final beach layout of this album. I simply covered them in crackle paint and then dabbed them with gesso once the paint was dry. I also used the pointing finger sign which I only painted in gesso.

I got inspired by this beautiful July mood board from Maja Designs. Its just perfect for the beach theme!!

There's also a challenge at the Shimmerz blog and Facebook and its super easy. You just have to use a mask and Shimmerz products. I used a Crafter's Workshop mask to create the ocean and 3 different shades of Shimmerz blues: Rock a fella, Sea foam and Jenny B Blue.

Time Flies- Altered Clock- Prima Anna Marie Collection

Another Sneak peek today on the Prima Blog and this time its a sneak of the Anna Marie collection

I made this altered clock that I got on sale for 5 dollars. I opened it up and covered the inside with one of the Anna Marie papers. Then I added a picture of my kids sitting on a log.

I used some Prima flowers from the Anna Marie collection pack and lots of pink roses to embellish around the frame. I also added a pink thistle vine for added effect.

I embellished with a resin key (from the new releases) and two Ingvild Bolme resin birds from last year.

Finally I added the title "Time flies" because time truly passes so fast and my kids are growing rapidly right in front of my eyes.

Pure Bliss- 13 Arts Challenge #9

Here is the layout I created for this month's challenge at the 13 Arts Blog.

Here is Challenge #9

Rules:
- Create any project using 3 colors from the palette. You can add neutral colors: white, gray and black
- use minimum two mediums (inks, mists, etc.)
- use any stencil in minimum two different ways (for example by using ink, mists, modeling paste or gesso, drawing shapes etc.)

As a background I used the "Natural Beauty" paper from the Faces of Spring collection. I wanted to have a neutral background so I can add all my mixed media on top.

I started by masking some chevrons with the 13 Arts gesso and some flowers with modeling paste. Then I stamped some images with archival ink. Finally I sprayed and colored with 13 Arts yellow and orange pearl sprays and adding 13 Arts Pink Ink.

Finally I embellished with lots of flowers to match the flowers on my daughter's dress.

This is us, Best Friends- Prima BAP- July

Its that time of the month to introduce the Prima BAP for July.

Come check out the Prima blog for this months inspiration including this layout designed by moi!

This lovely sketch fit perfectly with my style. I white washed the flowery background with some white gesso, leaving both corners intact. Then I masked some flowers with the new Elementals stencil from Finn's new line.

They've also changed the way you send you layouts. Instead of sending them to Sharon, you get to link them directly to  the bottom of the BAP post. Now we can all enjoy everyone's creations!!!

I loved layering this layout with lots of bright colors from the Anna Marie collection. Stay tuned this upcoming Monday for its reveal.

This is a picture of my daughter and I and I thought it would be perfect for this girly collection.

I  used the resin heart from Ingvild Bolme and then added the title chipboard on top as a title.

Free- Red White and Blue Inspiration at the Prima blog

I'm up on the Prima blog today with a red, white and blue palette perfect for the 4th of July. Although  I don't celebrate it here in Canada, I though I could combine those colors to create a summer beach layout.

I got inspired by the 12x12 Elemental stencil. The shape reminded me of the ocean's waves and I wanted to create a serene beach layout.

 I used pieces of papers in both reds and blues to match the July 4th red-white and blue palette.

 

I used deep, rich Shimmerz sprays in both blues and turquoise to get the water in different shades, like the real ocean. I used Jenny B Blue, Sea Foam and Rock-a-fella blue. This was the perfect layout to combine with a challenge at Shimmerz which requires you to use a mask. Check out the challenge here on the Shimmerz blog. 

I used lots of matching Prima flowers for embellishments and the resist canvas alphabet which I didn't even color.
