Fun Times - Prima

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a project I made using the gorgeous Lyric collection from Prima Marketing and the fabulous sketch from their Build A Page.  Love, love, love this collection and the sketch.

 Of course, I used lots of my gorgeous flowers from my Prima Flower Grab Bag from Your Memories Here.

 and a few wood icons.

I am trying so hard to include more photos of myself in our scrapbooks, but all my photos are starting to look the same...the selfie of Phil and I.  lol

Thanks for stopping by today.

It is possible - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share another project I made using the gorgeous Wishful Thinking papers from Prima Marketing available now at Your Memories Here.

I did a little mixed media on this page adding in a bit of multi-medium for texture before layering on my mists, papers, and photos.

And of course, finished everything off with some gorgeous blooms from my Prima flower grab bag.

Loving this collection designed by Leeza Gibbons.  Be sure to check out this collection as well as all the other goodies available from Your Memories Here.

Love Life

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a project I made using some of the beautiful Wishes and Dreams papers from Prima Marketing.  I just adore this photo of Ainsley with one of her besties, Dani.  These two have been friends forever...well, at least since they were toddlers.

These papers, designed by Leeza Gibbons are full of beautiful patterns and classic colors.  Perfect for all your favorite scrapbook subjects.

 Mixed with a few flowers from my flower grab bag a few wood icons and a quick banner, this layout came together quickly.

Be sure and stop by the Your Memories Here store today and check out all the gorgeous goodies Kristina has to offer, including the new Prima Optimist Collection.

Wishful Thinking

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a project I made using the beautiful Wishful Thinking papers from Prima Marketing.  The Wishful Thinking papers are full of the most gorgeous colors perfect for all those special moments in your life...and in this case, perfect for my teen.

Of course, with the gorgeous blooms from my Your Memories Here Prima Flowers Grab Bag, I had plenty of gorgeous flowers to choose from to accompany my project.

A few of my favorite Prima Wood Icons were added for texture.  I just love the feel these add to my projects and don't think I can scrap without them these days.

 and of course i couldn't resist adding a few of the Wishful Thinking Metallic Gems.

All these projects are currently available in the Your Memories Here store.  Be sure to check  them out.

Oh, and btw...these photos are from our afternoon spent at Kensington Palace in London.  The palace was gorgeous and the garden even more so.  What I would do to have that beautiful of a yard, or even one 1/2 that size.    sigh...I guess it is good to be the future king.  lol    Unfortunately we didn't see William, Catherine, or the new baby.

Hugs.

Celebrate - Your Memories Here Tutorial

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a shabby chic layout I made using the gorgeous Hope Chest papers from Pink Paislee.

But before I share the layout itself, how about a quick video on creating a crackled wood background for your projects?

Super easy and fun.  With the wood background, a bit of mist and some gorgeous flowers from my Prima grab bag I created this....

Ainsley and a couple of friends at her birthday party.  I added a few lace doilies as well as some lace to complete the look.

Thanks for stopping by.

Mixed Media Flowers - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone, Today I want to share with you a mixed media canvas I made using flowers from my Prima Grab Bag.  I grabbed four of these 6x6 canvases at the craft store and am looking forward to making a series of these in different colors.

I love the variety of flowers that come in these bags.  I also added bits of Prima trim, bits of bling.  I began by covering the canvas with scraps of Lyric and Almanac papers covered in gesso.   I then  used a bit of texture paste and a favorite stencil to create the layered effect.  Splatters and sprays of mists, followed by lots of flowers and canvas pieces, bits of trims and bling completed this piece.  I love the variety of flowers that come in the Prima Grab Bags from Your Memories Here.  I am working on making a video of how I created this canvas using a different color scheme and hope to have it ready for you soon.

Hugs.

Mixed Media Bag

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a quick project I made using my Prima flower grab bag, Glimmer Mist, and some Stickles.  Each grab bag is filled with a mixture of gorgeous blooms just waiting to embellish all of your projects.

For this project I selected a small canvas tote I picked up in the dollar bin.

The large flower I melted a bit with my heat tool to give it a bit more dimension.  Be careful, you don't want to burn your flower, just melt the fibers a bit.  (although, a little scorching around the edges gives it a lovely shabby chic feel.

Finally, I added a wood icon from Prima.  I really just can't seem to get enough of these little treasures lately.

Hugs.

Mixed Media Canvas

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a canvas that I made inspired by some of the recent Live with Prima shows.

Julie Nutting's doll stamps are hot...and I couldn't resist creating with my interpretation of one.

Lots of gorgeous Annalee papers here.  I love the gorgeous patterns and colors in this older collection, I never seem to tire of it.

Prima flower grab bags , from Your Memories Here, are a must have in my collection...and at such a great price you can grab a couple.  And don't forget the gorgeous wood icons to go with.

 Bits of Prima Lace, Distress Inks, and Say it in Crystals finish out my project.

I haven't decided yet where this lovely will live, but I am sure I will find her a great home.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs.

Sandy Toes - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone!  Well, Today I am back to share a layout I made with some of the yummy goodies I purchased at Your Memories Here.  Each Prima release I always am sure to pick up either a grab bag or a complete collection to play with.  From Summer CHA, I purchased a grab bag that came with some of the most amazing Zephyr collection goodies.

Sitting on the beach in Hawaii last summer, watching the children surf and relaxing were really lovely.  And of course I had to take a photo of my sandy feet.  lol  And the gorgeous Zephyr collection from Prima was just perfect for that beach shot.  I love all the flowers that are available in this collection.

 I love all the goodies that always come in the Your Memories Here collection packs and grab bags.

Each collection pack or grab bag is full of the prettiest, most fun Prima products available that release.  And often coordinates wonderfully with items from previous releases.  Including some older flourishes, lovely resins and flowers.

I did quite a bit of distressing with my Prima distress tool as well as adding a few extra bits of trim from my Hydrangea Hippo stash.

Well, Back to work....

Hugs.

Unbearably Cute - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone!  Nancy here today to share with you a project I made using some of the incredible finds from the Your Memories Here store.

Ainsley has seen her older sister running around in animal hats for quite a while and really wanted one for Christmas.  She was so happy to find it under the tree.  I couldn't resist taking a few photos.

I used a few papers from the Prima Grab bag I purchased from the YMH store, along with many flowers, a few cut outs, some trinkets, bling and letters to complete my project.   I love that there are bits and pieces of everything in these bags.  It makes it so fun to mix and match all the different elements.

Lots of distressing with my Comfort Craft distress tool and walnut stain distress inks tied everything together.

Be sure to grab the older collections before they are gone, and be on the lookout for new Prima grab bags and complete collections!  The new Prima is beginning shipping soon!

Hugs.

OMG 17 - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you something a little different, emphasis on the little.  hee hee  Everyone knows that Prima is great for those girly, flowery pages....but what about the men/boys in your life?  It has been known to happen before that I have chosen to add a few flowers, maybe even a bit of pink to my masculine pages, but today....

I used a piece of paper from my Out of the Blue Collection for the background and mixed it with a bit of some older Londonerry papers from a few releases ago with some of the fun chipboards from the summer release, Craftsman.

I love these photos of Brighton on his birthday.  I can't believe he is already 17.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs.
