Get Better - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone today I wanted to share with you a card I made for my Grandmother using Pink Paislee Mistables paper and a few favorite colors of Distress Ink.

For the card base I used the Spring Distress color Squeezed Lemonade mixed with a little Wild Honey.  Both of which are currently available in the Your Memories Here store.

The flower was made using Prima Mistables canvas pieces which are a fabulous part of most grab bags and the Tim Holtz pine cone die from Sizzix (Did you know Kristina can special order you any die for 25% off MSRP?)  And finally, the sentiment was made using the new Prima Press which Kristina should have up in the store soon.  I love tiny type letters, and with this fun little tool I can make my own in whatever color combination I need for my project.

I hope my grandmother is feeling well soon and that you enjoy my little card.

Hugs.

Oopsies...and Old + New =....

Hi everyone!  Let me start out by saying I am so sorry, but typepad seems to be having some technical difficulties so The Sampler has been unable to get the challenge post uploaded.  Keep an eye out as I am sure it will be soon.

Last week I received my grab bag from Your Memories Here.   I couldn't wait to jump right in and play!  Of course I was a little leery cutting into all these new packages, so I mixed some of my older Prima Papers with a few of the newer Prima products.

Supplies Used: Prima Papers; Romance, Avondale, Ashton, Prima Resist Canvas; Prima Flowers, Prima Lace; Distress Inks; Tumbled Glass, Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey; Prima Say it in Crystals

 

I gathered a mix of old and new flowers to form my flower cluster; varying the sizes and colors for interest and depth; and added more resist canvas and some Prima Say it in Crystals.

On the canvas pieces I used multiple colors to add dimension.

I hope you are having a great day.  Be sure and check back soon for an update on The Sampler challenges.

Hugs.

Mojo?

Did you ever have one of those days...you know...where you have stacks of photos, tons of lovely papers, time to play...and no desire to pick up a photo and do something with it?  Well, that was me the other day.  I really felt like creating, but not doing layouts.  I guess sometimes it just happens.  So, what do I do?


 I create little doo dads....hee hee

I am always in need of little boxes to hold miscellaneous supplies and left overs.  I have used this Sizzix die many times for just that as well as gift boxes.  This time I used a sheet of Romance Prima paper from the Annalee collection.

I embellished the box with lots of Prima Resist canvas that I colored with my Distress Stains.  I also used the stains to lightly color some mini roses to match.  I love having white flowers around as I can die them to match my projects.  I topped it all with a gorgeous Prima vine and a little birdhouse from my summer CHA Prima grab bag.

It was a super fun project to create, and while it didn't make me want to scrapbook photos, I had a lot of fun making it.  As a matter of fact, I made two other non photo projects that I will be back to share tomorrow.

Until then.

Hugs.

Happy Wednesday

Hi everyone, today I wanted to share a layout I made with more products from my Your Memories Here grab bag.  I purchased the large grab bag and have been scrapping up a storm with it for these last few months.  I still can't believe how many projects I have completed using the goodies that came in this box and while not all the yummy goodies came from the box....it really was the base of my project.

 I used a sketch I found by Melinda Spinks to complete this project.  I loved all the little blocks of color.

I used my Tim Holtz Distress Stains to color the birdcage, bird, and butterfly chipboard from Maya Road and then accented the bird with some Glimmer Glam.  I colored my seam binding in the same way.  I also used the Distress Stain to color my canvas resist pieces.

Kristina has placed the Prima order, but there is still a few grab bags left if you would like to order one for yourself.

Hugs.
