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.

Genuine and a Giveaway

Hi everyone!  Hope you are having a great day.  Me?  not so sure as I am actually typing this up the night before it goes live.  Tomorrow I am getting canned lights put into the ceiling in my scrap/office/guest room. So, since I may not have a computer I thought I would jump ahead....just in case.  hee hee

Well, other than sharing that bit of information, I wanted to share with you a project I made at the Prima NSD crop.  Did I mention that we had access to tons of flowers and trims...well, and paper?  I am saving some of those for another day.

But for today....here is Brighton.  I have had the Genuine collection from Authentique sitting in my stash for quite a while and was really excited to get a chance to play with it.

I did quite a bit of distressing with my Prima distress tool and the Prima chalk inks.  I really like the chalks, but I think I may still be a Distress Ink girl.  And I am so digging the chevron pattern.

I found lots of gorgeous flowers in the bins available to us at Prima...and the lace trims...to dye for.  This time I used pan pastels.  Maybe I do need to invest in a set?  hmmmmm

Love the Prima bling I found, and the metal flowers.  Just yummy.

Well, time for bed.  I am going to be dreaming of what color to paint my room when it is done.  I have some toile pattern in the room and a denim futon.  I am thinking a bright, sunny yellow, but then I saw a beautiful Tiffany blue.  What do you think?  Maybe pink?  hmmmmm Leave me a comment on what color you think I should paint and become a follower.  I will pick a winner to receive this older, but brand new book.  (US and Canada please).

Hugs.
