Time - Mixed Media Canvas

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you a mixed media canvas I made using Multi-Purpose cloth from Roc-lon Fabrics.  This fabric was so easy to work with.  It has a nice weight and doesn't fray.  Well, enough about the fabric...

I  cut the fabric into an orchid shape, covered it in gesso and then went to work.  A few random letters...some beautiful Prima Metals , washi tape, chipboard, and letters, and then another layer of gesso to blend everything.  Gesso is definitely my friend when creating Mixed Media pieces.

Then the fun begins with different shades of mist from Lindsy's Stamp Gang.  Bits of Shabby Turbine Teal, Cape Cod Coral and Salt Water Taffy were my interpretation for the February color challenge on the Lindsy's Stamp Gang blog.

More embellishments, clock faces and hands from Prima as well as a few Prima page pebbles...and then more gesso.  lol

Oh, and I found this old ghost clock in my stash from Heidi Swapp.  And you know I had to add a few bits of Prima bling.  hee hee and a few blooms from my Hydrangea Hippo stash.

I always think...I would be so much better at...well, pretty much everything..if I only had more time.  So, this is a reminder for me to make time for the things I love.  I haven't figured out what I am going to do with it yet...maybe turn it into a pillow, or frame it?

Well, thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs.

A Quick Clock

Hi everyone!  Well, today I have a quick project for you that I made using an old clock (probably 9 years old) from Making Memories.  Although the children are a little mad at me for remaking this clock, I much prefer the new look.

 Filled with some gorgeous blooms and laces from Hydrangea Hippo and a bit of packaging material from a Webster's Pages Craft Box this project came together in no time at all.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs.

After All These Years - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you a bit about the My Prima Place magazine.  Did you know that when you place your Prima order with Your Memories Here you get a fabulous publication that is produced by Prima Marketing?  Each issue is chock full of inspiration with lots of projects both on and off the page (many have step by step instructions), a designer showcase, challenges, and freebies (yep, gorgeous free Prima paper).

I took the recipe challenge from Vol. 1 to complete this layout.  The recipe called for lots of goodies from the Almanac collection, which I just happened to have on hand thanks to my fabulous grab bag from Your Memories Here.

The florals, wood clocks, canvas resist, and pearls...oh my!  They were just crying out to be layered and stacked.  And I used my Prima Distress Tool to distress my papers for texture.

There is still time for you to grab a complete collection, even the mid release Firefly, or mixed bag (three sizes available)  and the newest volume of My Prima Place.  So....what are you waiting for?  Isn't it time for a bit of inspiration?

Hugs.

Fairy Tales

Hi everyone!  Sorry I am a bit late today...Monday and all.  If you are looking for the Sampler blog hop, scroll down a bit.  Today I want to share with you a project I just made using some of my yummy goodies from the Your Memories Here store with some beautiful trims from Hydrangea Hippo.

This is an old photo from a few years back when we visited Disney Land.

 I love the beautiful, soft colors in the Almanac collection from Prima.  They are just a dream to work with.

 And the trim from Hydrangea Hippo suited this project perfectly.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs.
