Drink Up - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone!  Can you believe it is already the second day of a new year and I am here to post my second project?  hee hee  Today I want to share with you a project I made with the stunning Out of the Blue kit from Your Memories Here.  I just love all the goodies in this kit, the Fairy Belle papers and embellishments are just gorgeous, and the flowers in this kit...yummy!

I paired the beautiful goodies in the kit with a few items from my stash.  Some hand cut fabric banners, a bit of baker's twine from the Twinery, a couple of wooden birds from Maya Road and a few Prima leaves.

The colors in the Out of the Blue kit are just beautiful, so soft and girly.  And with my Prima Distress tool and some Distress Inks, I was able to create a beautiful, shabby chic layout.

Did I mention how much I love the mix of flowers in this kit?  ....oh my.

Be sure and check out this kit, and all the other fun products in the Your Memories Here store.

Hugs.

Art Journal

Hi everyone!  Sorry I am a bit late, but lately I haven't really been feeling it, blogging.....

I did however work on some projects for upcoming reveals as well as my art journal.  I don't just love it, but it was fun trying some new techniques.

I used some placed some older Thickers onto my canvas and covered them with a bit of gesso.  When that was dry I spritzed my letters with a few different colors of glimmer mist. 

Some flowers, a bird (gotta put a bird on it) and a bit of lace completed my design.  A photo of my darling husband with a transparency completed the page.

Like I said, I don't love it...but had fun playing with gesso.

Ainsley is done with her writing so back to work for me.

Your Memories Here - Songbird

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having a great day.  Me... More of the same.  Lots of swim practice, housework, driving and hopefully a bit of time to play with paper.

Today I wanted to share with you a layout I made using some gorgeous papers from the Songbird collection by Prima and a sketch I found from Sketch Savvy.

I love the soft beautiful colors in this paper collection (I bet you didn't guess that from the number of projects I have been posting.  hee hee)  I mixed in a few embellishments from the Almanac collection as well.  That is the great thing about a Prima grab bag from Your Memories Here....You get so many yummy goodies to mix and match.

 You know I had to distress all my papers with my Comfort Craft Distress Tool and some Distress Ink.

Well, I hope you are having a great day.  Back to work for me.

Hugs.

Your Memories Here - Songbird

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you the layout I made using the photos from our Ruby Violet jewelry making  session.  This time I chose to use the gorgeous Songbird collection from Prima Marketing to feature the photo of Mackenzie.  (sorry the layout looks crooked.  I promise, it isn't that way IRL)  The colors in this collection are so soft and lovely.

A bit of distressing with my Comfort Craft Distress Tool and a bit of ink added quite a bit of texture.  I have really been enjoying the effects I can create with the tool.

I used quite a few different Prima flowers to create my floral clusters, accenting some of the flat flowers with pearls.  And a bit of Prima lace under my title. And yep....I did this page while visiting Prima.  hee hee

You too can find a great selection of Prima products at Your Memories Here in the grab bags.  The bags come in three different sizes and offer you a great selection of products to play with.  I love the selection I get in mine and am already looking forward to what may be in store for Summer 2012.  Eeek...guess I best get busy using what I already have.

Hope you're having a great day.

Hugs.

Today I wanted to share a layout I made using a super fun sketch from my good friend, Heather.

 Lots of older Prima, which seems to forever be piling up around here...not that I have an addiction or anything.  hee hee

Older mulberry paper with beautiful trims already added....

 Blingy birdhouses (is that even a word?)

 And of course a sweet little bird.

Thanks for dropping by today.
