Good Morning Blogland!

Once again it is Sunday and I am here to share with you a project that I have completed this week.  I wanted to use up some scrap pieces from a mini album from the Sweet Retreat.

I sat down with a small 6x6 canvas and set about layering the papers I wanted to use and cutting them to fit.  After I layered them on the canvas as I wanted them I grabbed my Pan Pastels and used them for the background colouring especially for the edges.
 
I then used Helmar 450 to adhere the papers in place once I had inked the edges using Distress Ink in Peeled Paint.  I have used a piece of the Resist Canvas from the Almanac line and inked it in Tattered Rose Distress Ink.  I have then layered flowers from the Natures Garden range as well as some trusty faves of Prima.

This canvas is a little whimsical and different from my usual styling but I love it all the same...now to find a home for it LOL!

Until next week...

Hi Gorgeous - Prima Almanac Collection

I love Friday!  Not only is it the beginning of the weekend, but I also get to share my project with you YMH fans!  I've been working with the Prima Almanac collection for several weeks now, and I have amassed quite a pile of scraps.  The patterned papers in this collection are filled with fun designs and small prints that I like to cut out and layer.  Sometimes I get carried away and cut more small embellishments than I can use on one project, so I decided to put some of them to use on this card.

The chipboard stickers in this collection are coated with glitter and glaze, perfect for adding a touch of glossy shimmer without the mess and drying time!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! If you missed out on the Prima Winter Release from YMH, the Winter CHA Prima Grab Bags are once again available in the YMH Store!

Supplies Patterned Paper: Prima; Flowers: Prima; Chipboard: Prima; Lace: Prima; Cotton Tape: Prima; Stamp: Prima; Ink: Ranger, Tsukineko

Spring Jubilee

Hi everyone, Nancy here and 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 my daughter.

 I used a huge variety of flat flowers, vines, and a few layered flowers to form my cluster.

Be sure to check out the YMH store for all the yummy new Pink Paislee goodies.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs.

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope today finds all the gorgeous Mothers out there enjoying their day surrounded by family and perhaps a little creative time. I spent my day playing with the Almanac range of papers from Prima....LOVE this line!

I made sure I painted this wooden pail with my fave paint Folk Art Warm White.   I cut the papers to fit the ends and sides as well as using one of the journal spots for the label (as such!)

The alphas are the Prima Canvas alphas to match the Almanac line.  I wrapped the handle with Twine and secured it with Decoupage glue as I went (that part took the longest!) 

I added a few of the Almanac flowers from my Collection package and finally ran to the store to grab candy to fill it with haha...it now sits proudly on my desk in the office for when I need that instant pick me up!

I hope you enjoyed my little project.

Remember Tag - Ranger Distress Markers

TGIF! Dana here today sharing a tag created with goodies from the Prima Almanac and Meadow Lark collections. My set of Distress Markers arrived last week and I had a lot of fun using them on this project!

The Prima Meadow Lark collection includes several fantastic floral stamps that I thought would be fun to use as embellishments. I stamped several flowers onto a piece of watercolor paper using StazOn ink.  Using the brush tip end of the markers, I colored my flowers using Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Dusty Concord, Milled Lavender, Tumbled Glass and Mustard Seed.

Once I added a splash of color to each flower, I ran a wet paintbrush over each bloom to spread the color over the petals.

Here are my flowers once dry.  I added a light coat of Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist to the petals and some Wild Honey Stickles to the flower centers.

I added twine and a wood ticket to bring some of the outdoors onto my tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  If you missed out on the Prima Winter Release from YMH, the Winter CHA Prima Grab Bags are once again available in the YMH Store!

Mom - Prima Meadow Lark Collection

Greetings YMH fans!  Dana here today with a layout created with the gorgeous Prima Meadow Lark collection.  The pastel floral and botanical patterns are perfect for pretty spring pages. Mother's Day is fast approaching so I decided to scrap one of my favorite photos of my Mom.

The flowers in the Meadow Lark collection are the perfect way to add a splash of color to a page.  I colored pieces of resist canvas with Tattered Angels Mists in Sun Sisters, Pink Bubblegum, Black Cherry and Fully Purple.  The "so happy" tag is cut from Prima packaging.

I added my title to a piece of chipboard.  I just love the texture of the alphabet stickers.  The small rhinestones I used to embellish the chipboard came packaged with the rhinestone flourish I added to this page and are perfect for small accents.

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to visit the Your Memories Here Store for all your Prima needs!

 Hello there! Hope you are all having a fabulous Thursday! I wanted to share a project I did for a client recently. It was for a Bridal Shower and I knew she wanted something special. I have some old antique barn windows I got from the farm near me. He was so glad to get rid of a stack of about 42 windows in all shaped and sizes. He thought I was a total fruit loop for how excited I was. He just GAVE them to me.  LOL I could just see the possibilities.

I loved that her engagement pics were taken at an old barn. So it worked well.  I cleaned it all up and then put two coats of gesso on it then I used some glaze and a little bit of paint and brushed on and wiped off quickly. I colored the Prima canvas letters with some sunflower Tattered Angels glimmer mist. I also used sunflower and wheatfields on the banner.

 The paper is from a very old hymnal book I found at a flea market. Please don't be mad I tore the pages out. They will be loved. I even picked song titles that matched the love theme.

 I brushed marshmallow mist on the flowers. They are so pretty and the texture of the leaves is fabulous.

 Pretty Prima flowers.

 The brown in the background is my couch. I wish I had gotten better pics with the glass. This one below is the best I guess cause you can see the glare. lol I had it all ready for pick up and then we were talking and I realized I didn't take any pics. DUH. So, I snapped these real quick.

 There ya have it. I was told that she LOVED it and I even got a couple orders for more that day. :)

 So, go get crafty. 

Thanks for stopping by and go..RUN and check out yourmemorieshere.com for pretties for your next project. :)

Distress Stain - Marbling Tutorial

Hi everyone, Nancy here today to share with you another technique using your Tim Holtz Distress Stains. (warning, tutorial = photo heavy, hee hee)  But I promise, it is easy to do.

We begin by selecting a few distress stain colors to work with, and of course our tag.

 Apply the distress stains to your craft mat.

 Run the tag over the stain.

Here you see the tag after its quick trip over the mat.

 You can use a heat tool to dry the tag.

 Spritz the tag lightly with water to allow the stains to move.

 And here is the finished tag.

I added a Prima Trinket as well as the shrink art I made last week to finish my tag.

I hope you enjoy playing with your Distress Stains as much as I do.

Hugs.

Nancy
