A mixed bag today :)

 Happy Thursday everyone, hope you are having a wonderful day and if you are like us....enjoying the school holidays.

 

I have so many creations to share with you today :)  I have been a busy girl!!! 

I will start with Prima, first up is the Oct BAP.  I absolutely loved this sketch by DT gal Brit.  She did such a great job with this sketch, I wish I knew how to create sketches on the computer........but as you know, I am hopeless with this thing......oh, oh, did you notice my new header???  That's as good as my computer skills get, just cropped and edited one of my layouts.....lol!!!!  Anyway back to Prima......here is the sketch...

 

 

Here is my take on the sketch......

 

If you notice I haven't used 1 flower on here!  Can you believe it, trust me I put one on then took it back off deciding it just didn't need it!!!!  I wanted to keep in with the arty feel of the sketch so decided to scrap some pics of Mason having his first good go at finger painting!  I actually quite like how it turned out....something a little differnt from me :)

 

"Shhh!  Genius at Work"

 



 

Love the Junkyard Findings light bulbs.......

 

 



I used the vibrant Firefly collection and added some paint splatters to match both the sketch and my photos :)

 





 

My next Prima project was for the feature using the Vintage Trinkets.  I have used lots of them throughout this mini album I created.  All the photos were from a couple of weekends ago when we had a weekend away at the beach.  I don't generally create mini albums but had this idea in my head and just went with it.  I then finished my project and tried to close my mini album and then I was reminded why I don't create them!!!!!!!!!!  Everything I create is so full of texture it makes it hard for me to do a mini!

 

 



Lots of shabby texture and some Vintage Trinkets hanging from the side, I also added some shells to one of them :)

 



Thankful for this Vintage clasp Prima released two (?) years ago, I have had it sitting in my room for a while and was just what I needed to get my mini to stay together :)

 



 

 

So here are my inside pages now:

 

 

I really loved creating this and I really love seeing all those gorgeous mini albums floating around the web and on Pinterest, I would like to start making more, I just need to learn to put my foam tape away when I create them.....lol!!!

 

Here is a Prima card I made. 

 

"Special Wishes"

 

 



My gosh, I really struggle with cards, just the starting point, I never know where to start.  I get there in the end but trust me, I do struggle with them!!  Maybe it's the size, I don't know but they just don't come together as easy as a layout for me. 

 



Next up is a Shimmerz canvas I created as a gift. 

Lots of girly colours used here. 

 

Coloringz in Pink Stiletto, Heidi Ho Blue and No Yoking

Spritz in Ruby and Mango Madness

Shimmerz in Magenta

Pearlz in Pretty in Pink

 

"a"

 



The buterflies were so easy to make, I just cut out some calico the shape of a butterfly and frayed the edges a little.  I also cut 2 other butterflies with paper and layered them, with the calico one on top.  I adhered them all together via the centre and applied a little stamping to the calico before giving them a dose of Shimmerz !

 



 

For the letter 'a' I used a another simple technique.  I applied gesso to the whole letter with my finger (along with some more stamping)  and then taking the lid off my Shimmerz I flicked it on randomly to the letter letting the 2 colours blend in together.

 

Now to some exciting scrappy news :):)  I am now one of the newest Design Team members of Aussie Scrap Source !!!  I was so excited to receive an email from them, it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up.  I have been a long time stalker of the blog and so happy to be able to design with those other awesome girls along with some awesome products :)

 

Here are my first 2 layouts.  A highs and lows feature.  This first layout featuring October Afternoon Woodland Park.  Super fun collection to play with!

 

"It's Always A Good Time"

 



 

 

 

My second layout being my lows layout is about our Bradie Bear.  She passed away back in March.  She was 12 and a half, creating this brought back lots of memories especially those of her passing.  This time using the MME Sweetest Thing collection.

 

"RIP Bradie Bear"

Sharing some pretties:)

Happy Monday to you all!  Hope your weekend was a good one. Only one more week here of school and then Cooper is on holidays for two weeks.  He certainly needs the break.  I am so proud of how he doing at school though.  He is only in Prep (5 years old) and already he can read and write.  Blows me away what they need to know so soon, soon he will be better on this computer than me.........how things have changed since I went to school!

 

Anyways, I have some projects to share with you that I haven't shared here yet.  The first 2 have been popped up on the Prima blog a couple of weeks ago.  The first being the new release Firefly collection.  This was favourite layout I created for CHA, I am so happy they released this collection, the papers are soooo gorgeous and colourful.  My little Kobi calls me a Fairy every day.  It is the sweetest thing, HE is the sweetest little thing (most of the time).  He certainly has a very caring, affectionate, sweet side and will make his wife feel very loved one day:) 

 

"Fairy"

 

 

Some new Prima flowers..........oh the colours, yummo!!!

 

 



The new fairy resins from Ingvild.  They are so lovely, I also added a little colour Shimmerz to mine.

 

 



My next layout was for Mixed Media day on the P blog.  This time I used the Tea Thyme Collection.  I am still loving grey and mint and opted to add these colours into the collection instead of using the pinks.  I used lots of Resin in here again, I love how this turned out.

 

 

"Cherub"

 

 



Oh these zippers are so much fun!

 



 

Resin and layering:)

 



Speaking of Tea Thyme, here is my layout I created for CHA.  I used the new peacock feather mask here.  My little Mason as a newborn.............my gosh time flies and I can't help but get clucky with baby pictures.  I love the baby stage so so so much!!!  I guess it helps I have had brilliant newborns!

 

"Sweetness"

 



 



Lastly I have a new Shimmerz project to share:)  I used bits and pieces of Echo Park, Prima, PP, Crate Paper, Hambly, MME and the Shimmerz used to create this here.........

 

Vibez in Hot Fudge

Spritz in Truffle

Coloringz in Heidi Ho Blue

Shimmerz in Antique Lace

Enamelz in Gold Digger

 

 

"Wonder"

 



A couple of Closeups:

 



 

Here is the quick and easy background I shared on the Shimmerz blog if you missed it.  So simple, just blow with a straw in different directions to get the streaky effect. 

 

 



The resist paper was really fun and easy to use with Shimmerz too.  I just dabbed the middle section with some tissue, although most of this was covered anyway.

 



I then added Colouringz in Heidi Ho Blue and continued with the same process.

 

 



Now I start to add papers and embellisments.  Keeping it all centered to the layout so the effect of the Shimmerz can be side from either end:)

 

 



 

Okay, I think that is enough for today.  I am now up to date with my projects.  Exciting things happening here soon,  including a new announcement ;))

 

Take care and thankyou for taking the time to visit, your comments are very much appreciated!  

 

Hugs to you all xo

Pink Paislee Shares!

Hello, hope you are all having a fine Wednesday evening:)  Thought I would drop by with some Pink Paislee shares.  My first layout was based on this sketch from Got Sketch?  I actually struggled a little with this sketch being so square but I got there in the end!!  I really love the fact that you CAN see the sketch here in my layout....lol:)

 

 

"Charming"

 

My next assignment was to create a layout using 3 or more photos.  I opted for these super cute pics of Mason with a very neutral background.  The colours out of the Spring Jubilee range went perfect with his outfit!

 

"Hip Hip Hooray"

 

 

Back soon!!

Hugs xo

Mixed media Canvas

Hi everybody, I hope you are all doing well.  I have a house full of sick boys, the sickest being the big boy!!!  It's not good but hoping they are on the mend soon, I just hope I don't get knocked down with it too.........bring on Summer I say:)  So just a quick post today. 

 

I created this canvas for a friend of mine using lots of Shimmerz and Prima. 

 

Here are the Shimmerz products I used:

 

Enamalz in Sparkliscious

Shimmerz in Magenta

Vibez in Hermit the Frog

Spritz in Plum Pudding and Ruby

Coloringz in Mon Shari

Pealz in Pretty In Pink

 

Here is the first layers before I added all of the embellishments and photo.  I masked a butterfly in sprayed them with different colours and flicked the excess back onto the page.
