Something to share......

Just because:):) 

I have been so busy creating in the last few weeks but can't share any of it just yet!!  So the other night I felt I had to create something just for me:)  I went totally crazy with product again, Pink Paislee, Sass, Hambly, Prima, Websters........

"Dream"



I really love the end result of this one......the colours......yummo!

Some closies:







The most recent of my gorgeous 3...........

A special palette #75

A very special palette this week at The Color Room.  The lovely Lydell and Emma have put this gorgeous kit together featuring the most beautiful images.  Pop over here to check it out and have a play.  Now I didn't do the digital version......I have never done a digi layout and honestly have no idea where to start (I don't even think I downloaded the kit properly....lol!!)  But I just adored these images so much I just had to print them onto white photo paper.  I can definately say I had Ingvild's gorgeous, gorgeous style in my mind when I created this:):)

My sweet little Mason,  I did try to focus a bit more of the blue and brownish tones to make it a wee bit more "boyish" but hey, boys (especially bubba boys) look pretty cute in purple too:)

"4 Weeks New"




Of course now some closeups:

The clock face here is a new Prima mirrored piece, these mirrored pieces are so beautiful and easy to work with!!  I also featured a mirrored frame at the top left of the piccy!  All the blooms are obviously Prima too ;)


Look at these adorable little toes and fingers:) 





The angel wings are from Melissa Frances......just devine and finish off this project:)




Here is the palette, I would love to see what you create:)



YAY!!  It's the weekend here.......hope you all have a great one too!

Love to you all xo

ps.....I am approaching my 200th blog post soon and have a couple of special ideas up my sleeve, hope you come back and visit me:)

*Prima* PPP, BAP and CHA layout.

Prima's Sept PPP was definately a challenge for me.......brown is so not my colour but I thought I would have a go, little Mason's piccie inspired me!  Hope you have a go too:)



Mason's first touch of the sand at 10 weeks old:)

"His First Touch"



Some closeups:





and here is the Build a page sketch for Sept......




My Gracie layout I created for CHA using the North Country line.  Loving these colours together, so fresh!!  Here's the brick mask again.  Lots of gorgeous things on here to match my cutie pie niece:)


"Enchanting"




Closeups once again....resin, chipboard, vines......





So much going on atm, so busy.....so much scrapping to get done this month.  My baby has now turned 3 months and weighs a chubba 6.7kg.  My boys are still gorgeous...lol.....must take new piccies of them soon.  Coop's LOVES kindy (had pj day today) and I can't believe his 3rd term is nearly over.  His preppy forms are in:(  I hope this next term slows down, I don't think I am ready for a big school boy!!  In fact, I think I said that about him starting kindy and it has been the best year, he's learnt so so much!

Okay, I better get off here and start some dinner.

Thankyou so much for playing along in the Prima/TA blog hop and for leaving me such lovely comments....I enjoyed reading everyone of them:)

Welcome to the Prima/Tattered Angels Blog Hop!!!

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a fantastic week!  Spring is finally here in Australia....woo hoo!
For the month of September Tattered Angels and Prima are teaming up together:)  As you all know I absolutely adore Prima and I never create a layout without using TA mists, so working with them together is always so much fun:)  On the 15th September a winner will be announced for this gorgeous prize below.   Be sure to check out the Prima blog HERE for all the details to win this prize.


Also be sure to check out the blogs of the DT.  They have created some gorgeous projects using these 2 amazing products together.  You will definately be inspired:)


Now, I would love to share with you a canvas I made for a friend of a friend:) 

"Noah"

 


I started with my background, being for a boy, I thought stars would be perfect.  I have a couple of star shapes (which I just cut myself from chipboard)......I placed them randomly over my canvas and sprayed my little heart out with TA Glimmermist in colours - Turquoise Blue, Jazz Blue, Lime Twist and Cinder.  With the excess left on the star I just flick it back onto the canvas:)  I then added more art mediums, gesso and inks.



I then teared Prima papers from both Alla Prima and Pixie Glen ranges making a background layer for the picture.  I then used a Prima brick mask and applied Gesso and misted a little bit more:)

 


Next I started to place down my flowers, I must admit I did have them a different way and it just wasn't working for me so I took it all off and started again (hence the reason I never glue anything down straight away).  My fave Prima products would have to be the vines.....I love working with them and they are always a starting point for my flower clusters.  When I don't have any on hand to work with I do find it much more difficult for some reason.

 

Lastly I added the title, more Gesso to soften the flowers and loads of gorgeous crystals:)  To create the title I just covered chipboard letters with some more Prima pp and just sprayed the bottom of the letter with more Glimmermist.

Mixing it up!!

I just love to mix up brands when scrapping.  So this layout was a just because and a just because my little Mason is so...

"Picture Perfect"


I have used papers by Websters, Sass and Creative Imaginations.  Of course Prima flowers feature along with Melissa Frances frames (I luv these)!!  There is also a bit of Bo Bunny in here and the Baby Buggy Transperancy from Hambly:)  The crystals are new from Prima and definately a must have.....so many colours to pick from!





I just love this brick mask from Prima, it's so easy to use and so perfect for Mr Humpty to sit on:):)




Okay, best get off here, it's nearly that time of day again.....Kindy pickup!

Take care and thanks for visiting xo

The Color Room #72 + Prima

I hope you are having a great weekend:)  Here is my layout for this weeks palette over at The Color Room ....... as soon as I saw this palette I thought of Sass's Sunshine Broadcast so of course I had to go and find it:)  The colours in it are gorgeous and a touch vintage! 

"About You" 



I have some hidden journalling on here all about Kobi......he is proving to be a little difficult atm!  Thankfully his cuteness makes up for it:)







Here is the delightful palette:)




Through the week I had my first blog post up on the Prima  blog:)  So just thought I would share the 2 layouts here that I featured!

This one is another layout I created for CHA using the Alla Prima range.  It's a beautiful, fun, fresh range with yummy bright colours and polka dots..... I love polka dots:)  And yes, I love a bit of bunting or 2...lol!!


"Sunkissed"




This next one is using more of the Printery line, I don't think I have scrapped much grey before but love how this turned out and matched Mason's cute owl beanie:)  I also used lots of resins here.  Ingvild's resins are just gorgeous, I can't wait to get my hands on more of them:)

"Darling Son" 



Okay, that's about it for today, thanks for stopping by.

Hugs xo

More new **Prima**

I would like to share another of my CHA layouts.  This one was using the Printery line.  Now I must admit it really doesn't look like the range but I just can't help myself and add loads of colour:):)  I guess it just proves how versatile this range is.  It's a very neutral range with cute little birdcages, keys and time pieces.

"A Moment to Treasure"



So in love with all of Ingvild's resin pieces, this little bridge is just adorable!


Lots of faves here from this release....Rock Candy, Twisters and of course my fave Prima product of all time, floral vines (any vine will do)!!!


and the new Trinkets are just devine too:)


Work in progress.........


These colours are becoming a bit of a habit aren't they?? Oh well they are my faves!

I know some of you are having trouble with blogger, so am I.  I have been to several blogs lately and it just won't let me leave my little bit of love:(  I am not sure what is going on with it but it's really annoying.  Anyways, have a fantastic weekend.
We are out to dinner tomorrow night and then to Arj Barker (the Comedian) with our friends. Nanny is having a sleepover.  Woo hoo to getting out of the house for a night out...lol!!!

Hugs to you all, thanks for stopping by xo
