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.

Your Memories Here - Songbird

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having a great day.  Me... More of the same.  Lots of swim practice, housework, driving and hopefully a bit of time to play with paper.

Today I wanted to share with you a layout I made using some gorgeous papers from the Songbird collection by Prima and a sketch I found from Sketch Savvy.

I love the soft beautiful colors in this paper collection (I bet you didn't guess that from the number of projects I have been posting.  hee hee)  I mixed in a few embellishments from the Almanac collection as well.  That is the great thing about a Prima grab bag from Your Memories Here....You get so many yummy goodies to mix and match.

 You know I had to distress all my papers with my Comfort Craft Distress Tool and some Distress Ink.

Well, I hope you are having a great day.  Back to work for me.

Hugs.

Just Lovely - Prima and Pink Paislee

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you one of the projects I made on National Scrapbook Day while at Prima Marketing.  I had such a great time cropping there.  They provided us with lots of goodies to play with...and I took full advantage.

I used the lovely Spring Jubilee papers from the Your Memories Here store and lots of yummy Prima flowers and trims with these fun photos of Ainsley.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs.

Mini Wednesday

Hi everyone, I hope your day is going well.  It is bright and sunny here and as soon as we are done with school I have to decide whether to create, or to lie on the hammock and read.  Oh decisions, decisions.  Before I do tho, I am here to share with you a fun project I made using the gorgeous products from Your Memories Here.

You may remember the suitcase I made last week using some many Prima products I got from Your Memories Here.  Well, I promised to tell you what I had put inside....was it a gift card?  photos?  small gift?  jewelry?  Nope!  It was a teeny tiny mini album.  This album is about 4 inches by 3 inches.  Just perfect for those teeny photos.

I used all kinds of yummy Prima papers from an A4 pad of the Almanac collection on this mini made of manilla file folders.  Little bits of flowers, trinkets and bling as well.

For the inner pages I cut more of the Almanac papers

and used some old book pages that I misted and then stamped with glimmer mist...adding a bit of Distress Ink along the edges to shabby it up a bit.

 How cute is this teeny file folder I cut using my Sizzix?

Of course, I bound it with my Bind it All.  Which is just perfect for mini albums like this.  Whether 12 inches, 6 inches, or in this case 4 inches; the holes and wires fit perfectly.

I really love making these cute little minis...and think I am going to need to make another soon as my youngest has already taken off with this one.

Hugs.

Happy Wednesday

Hi everyone!  Happy Wednesday.  It is a beautiful day here after a long night of rain.  Life here is still a bit crazy, but I wanted to share with you a quick card I made for my nieces third birthday on Monday.

I tried to keep it super simple by using my Londonerry A4 paper from Prima.  I love that the backside of the paper is white, so I didn't need to use a liner.  I added a few Prima roses and little snip of a Prima bling flourish.  A few Authentique letters for my sentiment and a tiny Prima butterfly accented with a bit of stickles and I was done.

Don't forget you can still sign up for the Sweet Retreat from Your Memories Here.  I am just crushed that I probably won't be able to attend since airfare is so expensive from California, but if you are in the area.....

These kits are only available from the Sweet Retreat, they will not be taught in any other classes in the US!  sigh.....

OK, pitty party over.....back to work for me.

Hugs.
