Winter Bright LO's

Hello! Today I am sharing a couple of layouts created using Prima's Build A Page sketch. First up is November's sketch:

I think I chose colours to brighten up a dull Winter day! As I've used a stark white background, I decided to add lots of poppy colours in the form of ink, liquid pearls and misting. I kept with the denim theme throughout using a Prima zipper flower (Sunset Sunrise) which I pulled apart for leaves and edging.

And as you can see I'm currently rather obsessed with denim..... This was using the September BAP. I've used a beautiful aqua background (Prima Firefly) and added masculine embellishments and colours. The "Lifetime" arrow stamp is so cute! I stamped and cut out aforementioned arrows, then added extra stamping. The main feature is made up of denim, cotton material, mesh, Prima metal "junk" and a splish sploshing of ink.

Sparkly Joy

Just posting another quick snowy themed Christmas card today. For this kitsch little number I used October Afternoon papers, rub ons and labels plus the glittery Thickers are back!

Finished with a splash of pain and glitter. Wishing you all a great weekend!

It's beginning to look a lot like...

...Christmas! Time is indeed flying and we're only a few weeks away from it! This year I'm trying to be somewhat more organised that usual (well for me anyway) and get a few cards under my belt before December arrives. 

 

Here's a cute little "quick and easy" set I created using washi tape, American Crafts glitter alpha stickers (love, love, love!), Spellbinders snowflake medallions and PTI dies ("Joy" and “Fancy Flakes”), which are quite frankly, awesome.

I've also added some of my customary messy cotton and and ink splats... 

TFL!

July PPP

Hello and happy Friday! I'm back again (so soon I hear you say ;) ), this time to share a card I created for this month's Prima Product Pick challenge.

 

I was loving these colours, and went for a male-themed card using papers from the Craftsman range and some grungy metal embellies (a mix of Prima and old clock parts!). And voila, one grungy, steampunk card!

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Time Flies...

Yes, I admit it. I've been a lazy blogger again. Ooops! Anyhow, I'm back to show you two layouts I created for Prima's challenges last month.

This is the sketch and this is what I did...

Vintage, neutrel colours that I accented with some icy blue. Can you see I've found a fun use for zips! These are my new favourite thing ;) The best of the rest include lots of masking, Prima resist canvas doilies, mists and of course lots of lovely Prima goodness

This layout is follows the above colour scheme, using masking, lots of layers, more zips (!) and flowers cut from a sheet of Blue Bayou paper (from the Lifetime range).

Me, Myself & I

Hello! I realised it's been a while since I popped on here, doesn't time fly?! Anyhow, here is a layout I created for Prima's Build A Page sketch from March.

The sketch:

I did lots of paper prep on this one, using masks (Sunset Sunrise range), stamps, mists, black net and clear embossing paste. I've used lots of rich toned flowers and embellishments plus resist canvas among the many accents. And my current obession with burlap continues... 

I hope you enjoy! I've lots to do so better get on with it!!!
