Friends Mean the World -Clear Scraps

Hi everyone!  Hope you are preparing for a great weekend!  Ours is pretty much the usual, swim meets.....

The minute my youngest saw this beautiful acrylic piece from Clear Scraps, Ainsley claimed it for her own.   I decided to really girl it up, with just a bit of grunge (she is a teen afterall).  And since her room is done in black and white, little pops of color are always great.

After collaging the word frame with bits of tissue paper from Ranger, I used Faber Castell gelattos to add just a bit of color.  And then finished with a bit of ink.

I used the 6"Spiral Dots Mascil from Clear Scraps with both some white crackle paint as well as some bead medium to add interest and texture.  This was one of those projects I just kept building layers on.  So much fun and the clear acrylic gives it so much depth.

Finally, I embellished the whole thig with some beautiful Kaisercraft Blu Belle stickers and loads of Prima flowers and resins and of course a little bit of sparkle with some Stickles.  hee hee

I really hope she likes it in her room.

More Prima ArtVenture Projects

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you more of the beautiful projects we made at the Prima ArtVenture event in Anaheim.  None of these projects are my original design, they were all project based classes that were taught at the event.


This first project was taught by Limor Weber.  So girly, pink, and lovely.  Using the new Prima papers, Lindy's Stamp Gang mists, and gorgeous Prima flowers.  Love it!  Right now it is living in my bedroom.

Next up, a super fun journal featuring Jamie Dougherty's new Bloom Girl Collection.  We even got to use the journal that she created.  Each of the inside pages are prints of her original artwork.  How cool is that?
 We even got to use the new Color Bloom mists.
 Something about this is still bothering me...think I may turn the chevrons, I think that is the problem.  hmmm
 The final project I have to share is Steff Miller's.  How cute is the little doll?
 
This one was super hard for me as I really needed to be able to spread out to create...I actually ended up sitting out in the hallway with all my goodies around me so that I could see what I had.  Yep, I am that big of a goof.  
It is entirely possible that she get more flowers...she just doesn't seem done.

Well, there ya go...projects 4-6 from Prima Art'Venture.  If you missed it, be sure and check out the first three projects here.

Hugs.

Back to School - Hydrangea Hippo


Hi everyone, today I wanted to share with you a few projects I made using the School House Vintage kit from Hydrangea Hippo.  With back to school upon us, I decided to make this cute desk set for a teacher friend of mine.
 
 I made a fun clipboard, notepad holder, post it note holder, and pencil box for her desk.
There are so many adorable trims and embellishments in this kit that I couldn't resist going a bit crazy with them.
And I really love the super cute font stickers that are included.  The whole kit is just perfect for back to school projects and layouts.
I also made a mini album that I will be back later this month to share.

Hugs.
