Enraptured

So excited to be featured on the Prima blog with this layout!

I did this layout for the Prima BAP and for my first Color Room challenge. I had a lot of fun with this, and got a lot inkier than I usually do! I like mixed media, but I love clean vintage/shabby too! I used lots of Lindy's Stamp Gang mists, molding paste, recycled corrugated cardboard (from crackers the girls like for their lunches!) and lots of Prima goodness! I love the resistant canvas flourishes and swirls that I misted.

The photo is of my girls listening intently to something up at their grandma's house, no doubt a story or one of their uncles playing some traditional music!! I love the expressions and Aisling sweet thumb in her mouth!

Here are the gorgeous Prima sketch and the color room color inspiration:

Sweet Girl

I am finally pulling out of a week's dose of flu and sinusitis, ouch!! So I finally felt well enough to scrap again and wanted to try the Prima BAP sketch for January. I used a sweet photo of my youngest Aisling, a Prima mask and some molding paste, fussy cut birds and flowers and lots of Prima bling, wood embellies and a bit of washi tape snuck in there. This is my first time using Rondelle, such beautiful paper!!!

Here is the sketch it was based on:

I would love to enter this as a second entry for the Inkido black and white photo challenge as well!

Creating Memories

I'm very excited to say this has been featured on the Prima blog for the December challenge!!

This is my first time doing the Prima BAP, and after several gorgeous but soft layouts from Pion Paper's Silent Night range, I really felt the need to have some color, so chose the beautiful Zephyr paper from Prima and a little Sun Kissed paper behind the photos.  There are lots of Prima goodies here, bulbs, zips, alphas, sugared flowers, canvas resist. The damask mask I used under the photos is a Prima mask as well...I did this to imitate the chevrons in the sketch... This did the trick for me...a splash of color and summer after some soft wintry layouts!

Here is the lovely sketch for this months Prima challenge.

I am also entering this in the Bird is the Word Create Challenge.

Thanks so much for looking!
