Summer Time Beach Totes with Prima's Seashore Collection!!!

Hello there crafters!!  It's Brandi here popping in to share some projects I recently made using the fabulous Prima Seashore Collection in store!!

Summer is in full swing here in the Sunshine State which means warm HOT weather, tons of sun, and weekend trips to the beach!!  And what better way to celebrate summer than with these fabulous beach totes?!?

This is also my second entry to the Creative Embellishments June Challenge.  The challenge is to draw inspiration from the following photo:

I just love this picture and everything about it!!  Being raised in the Sunshine State means salt water runs through my veins!! ;-)  I was simply drawn to the nautical theme!!!

Aren't they adorable?!?  I used my Cricut Explore machine and some purse SVG's from SVG Cuts to cut everything out!  Then I scored and inked all the appropriate edges and started putting it all together :-)

I added several chipboard pieces from the coordinating chipboard pack, inking all the edges along the way :-)  I also used some of the Petaloo flowers (which match this collection PERFECTLY!!) in store to add some detail!

I finished the bags with some hemp cord, and the large tote with some lace form my stash!

Easy peasy, right?!?  And perfect for this time of year :-)

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Week 4 sketch at LGS!!!

Hello everyone!!!  Just a quick post today for the fabulous new sketch up at Let's Get Sketchy!!!

Here's a look at this week's sketch:

I just had to use these yummy Paper House Productions products we received to create my page:

These paper are definitely "out of my comfort zone" but I am happy with the finished product!

The first thing I decided to do was add thread around the page much like a "starburst" effect...  LOVE IT!!!!!  

Then, I added on my papers according to the sketch, inking the edges along the way.   I used a white uni-ball pen from the Frosted Designs Store to create faux stitching around one of the papers!

I finished the page with the fabulous 3D embellishments...  Aren't they adorable?!?!  

Well gang...  Thanks so much for popping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

This challenge is to create any type of project using the following moodboard:

Isn't it lovely?!?  The NEW Prima Seashore Collection in store was perfect for this challenge!!!!

I also used the month's card sketch from Cardabilities:

Here's a look at a card I made:

I'm truly in love with the colors and soft patterns in the collection!!!  

I started with a Kraft Base for my card and began cutting up the papers I wanted to use, inking the edges of each with Prima's Knotted Wood ink.  After layering up my papers, I started adding some coordinating chipboard pieces, inking them up as well!

I used the word stickers from the collection to create my sentiment, adding various other stickers and a metal clip also!

I finished the card with a dragonfly I created using the new Prima Wire Thread in store!!!  This stuff is really fun to play with... The possibilities are endless!!!!

So there you have it!!!  A quick and easy card using nothing but wonderful products from the Frosted Designs Store!!!

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)
