Clear Scraps and Imagine Crafts - Perfect Together

Hi everyone!  Today I have a fun project to share with you featuring lots of yummy goodies from Clear Scraps and Imagine Crafts.  Imagine Crafts was super generous with sending the Clear Scraps team lots of goodies to play with.  We received 12 colors of StazOn ink, 6 colors of  IrRESTIBibles, the new GlazOn and some Ink Blushers.  Well, you know I couldn't resist breaking out a few things and making something.

Using Jamie Dougherty's Sharon Bloom girl stamp from Prima Marketing, I stamped the ClearScraps Acrylic sheet with the Black StazOn.  I then colored the backside of the image using a combination of the other colors of StazOn.  Using InkBlushers and a Fantastix I was able to fill in all the details of the stamp.

When my inks were dry, I used the Quaterfoil Mascil and a mix of the Silver and Bronze IrRESISTibles to add texture.  Once that dried...a few flicks of the Wedding Dress IrResistibles, a few rubons, flowers and a butterfly and my poject was complete.

I am very happy with how she turned out and look forward to finding a place for her to live in my home.

Vintage Mint - Hydrangea Hippo

Hi everyone, today I want to share with you the inside pages of the mini album I shared a few weeks ago.  You can see that post here where I go step by step through the process of building the album.  But, as promised I am back today to share some of the inside pages.

The Vintage Mint Creativity kit, is just full of so many beautiful items.  The gorgeous Pink Paislee papers, beautiful flowers, trims, buttons and doo dads….swoon.  I reallly do so love this book

 I also printed and cut a number of butterflies from the internet.

 

Super fun vinyl pieces mix beautifully with the gorgeous feathers and buttons….

and of course the kit is full of some of the most gorgeous trims, tags and baubles.

Cupcake wrappers make the perfect backdrop for my rosette flowers, and you know I couldn’t resist adding in a few banners.

I love the little sparklers that Jennifer has added to this kit…they add just a bit of shine and add so much interest in contrast.

 Be sure and grab your Vintage Mint kit today.  Unfortunately, at this time, Jennifer has decided to close down her design team.   I have loved working with Jennifer and look forward to doing so again.  

Hugs.

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a project I made with the beautiful Hope Chest collection from Pink Paislee.

I love the beautiful, soft colors of this collection and couldn't resist mixing it with a few gorgeous Prima flowers as well as one of the burlap flowers from the Cottage Farms collection.

 The glittered burplap butterflies in this collection are just gorgeous

And of course, everything deserved a quick swipe of Distress Ink to add interest and definition.

Home Decor - Chalkboard- Your Memories Here

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share a project I made using some of the goodies from my Your Memories Here store.

I found this sweet frame at Michaels for just a few dollars with my 40% off coupon and couldn't wait to make something for my daughter's room.  We have been in the process of redecorating and I thought this would be such a great addition for my soon to be teen.

I painted the frame with a crackle wash in white and then backed it in chalkboard contact paper over chipboard.

And then the fun began.  Bits of flowers, chipboard, bling and butterflies from my Prima grab bags brought out the girly factor of this little chalkboard.

I know that she loves using it in her room.

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.

Smile - The Sampler

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a project I made with the November kit from the Sampler.  It isn't up in the store quite yet...but it will be...and it is FABULOUS!  Every month these kits get better and better. I know...I know...I keep saying this, but it is true!  Promise.

Anyway, as you may recall, I took the children to a small local farm a couple of weeks ago to take a few photos.  Gotta love fall in California!  It was hot.  So, for you today...a few photos of Ainsley playing around.

(Colors are a little washed out here...sorry)

 I really love the colors and motifs in this kit.  The fun stickers, bits of jewels and little journaling bits, sigh.  So much fun.  How cute are the little butterfly stickers.  hee hee

Well, keep your eye out later today for photos of the full release...you won't be disappointed   And be sure to check out our card and sketch challenges.  No need to purchase a kit...and you could win some fabulous prizes.

Hugs.

Ugggh

Let's just say that this day has not started well. sigh  But, we are going to try and turn it around and share a two page layout I did for just myself!  What a change...huh!  lol

Ainsley on Easter...hunting and playing with eggs.  Using some of my older Prima goodies and a sketch from Pagemaps as well as some fabulous Pink Paislee wood alphas.

 I tore apart a single vine and added a few additional flowers.

And you know I can't resist a bit of paint splatter on my craft background.  hee hee

The trims came from the Hydrangea Hippo etsy shop.

Ok, well...would love to stay and chat, but....

Don't forget about the Sampler Blog Hop tomorrow!  Lots of great prizes to be won.

Hugs.
