LGS with Prima's Time Traveler Collection!!!!

Hey there fellow crafters!!!  School is officially out here in Florida and summer is well under way!  

I'm popping in today to share the new weekly sketch over at Let's Get Sketchy!  Here's a look:

LOVE this sketch!!!!  And, of course, I had to use the goodies from this month's "Capture the Moment" kit over at Frosted Designs! It's packed full of Prima products, including the new Time Traveler collection, as well as Cartographer, and Stationer's Desk too!  Just look at how beautiful these papers and embellies are!!!

From This Moment with Prima's Time Traveler Collection

I am truly having so much fun playing with all these Prima goodies!!!  It's like heaven over here!!!  

I started my page by building up my background with molding paste and gelatos.  

After blending the gelatos with a baby wipe, I did some random stamping using various stamps and a Faber Castell Big Brush Pen.

I found this chipboard postage stamp piece in my stash and decided to give it a treatment of Lindy's Starburst Pearls and the Perfect Pearls Spray included in this month's kit.

I gave the same treatment to one of the white Petaloo flowers, also in the FD store!

I ordered this bird cage template from the store and thought it perfect for this page!!!  I used some Walnut Stain distress ink and the liquid pearls from the kit to create this look.

The Prima trim in the kit is fabulous and goes with pretty much any style of crafting!!!  I used it to add a cute little bow around my picture!!!  I also added more flowers and wood icon pieces!

I finished the page with a chipboard title from Creative Embellishments (LOVE their chipboard!!!!).  I first sprayed it with the inks mentioned above, then heat embossed random areas with Distress Powder in black.  

This is a very special page and will definitely go in our wedding album (one of them!!!).  

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

Hello there fellow crafters and Happy Thursday!!!!  I mentioned I had two fabulous posts for you today and this one is the second!!!  

Monochromatic Thank You Card

Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #27 is live and ready for you to scrap!  Here's a look:

I've wanted to do an elegant, monochromatic card for a while now and this was the perfect sketch to do that!!!  

Here's what I was able to come up with:

I truly love the detail of all the embossing!!!  

I used several different Sizzix embossing folders and my Spellbinders Grand Calibur to create all sorts of details on an otherwise plain card!!!

I used pop dots to create depth between all the layers since everything was the same color!

I finished the card with a sentiment stamp and Black Staz On ink, as well as some pearls around the edge!

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

Frosted Designs June "Capture The Moment" Kit Challenge!!!!

Don't forget to stop by for your chance to win a $20.00 Frosted Designs Gift Certificate!!!!  Details can be found here.

This is just one of two fabulous posts lined up for you today so I hope you are ready!!!!

It's the 5th of the month which means a BRAND NEW KIT CHALLENGE is live over at Frosted Designs!!!!  This month's "Capture the Moment" kit is gorgeous, to say the least!!!!

The Prima "Time Traveler" Collection is featured in this fabulous array of papers, brads, flair, trim, and much, MUCH more!!!!  I couldn't wait to sit down and create something fabulous!!!

I've had this 7Gypsies chipboard house lying around for quite sometime that I FINALLY got around to once I received these wonderful goodies!!!  

Here's a look:

Isn't it adorable?!?  And the papers are so versatile that I created two different looks for the front and back!  

I started my "house" by adding various papers, inking them heavily with various distress inks.  I chose the photos I wanted then added them inside the precut squares.  I grabbed some flowers and some of the embellishments and got to work decorating my "house!!!  Hahaha!!!!

 

For the center piece on each side, I used contrasting papers from the side panels to make it stand out a bit!  I used several of the Prima ATC cards and tags, as well as the library cards for embellishing!  

The burlap butterflies and flowers are darling and definitely had to be included here!  

I have always been of fan of Liquid Pearls and am soooo happy they were included in this month's kit!!!  They add just the right amount of detail to any type of project!  You can also use them to create bling swirls with a bit of acetate and a template!

For the back, I wanted something more "elegant" looking because I wanted photos of me and my husband!!!  I chose to use the blacks and whites for this side as well as B&W photographs!

As you can see, I used more of the ATC cards on the back, also heavily inked with Distress Inks (Walnut Stain and Black Soot).  I added some tickets, flowers, brads and flair to dress things up!

I LOVE the Prima Trim included also and used it to tie my bows through the holes on the sides that connect all the pieces (I punched them with my Crop A Dile!).  

The stencil included in the kit is fabulous and is great for adding some depth to your background!  You can do a little, or a lot!  I used the postal stamp portion for this and also the vertical lines.  

I used more of my homemade bling and added a couple more flowers!

I finished the house with the clear Prima stickers included in the kit!!!!

I truly LOVE this project and am very glad I finally got to it!!!  This will be on display in my house for a very long time :-)

Next up is card I made using the scraps left over from my little house!  Like I said...  LOVE this kit!!!

Here's a look at the card:

I think this would be a wonderful card to give to my hubby (hint*)!!!!  I love how the liquid pearls add a masculine touch to the card!!!

I used the maroon shaded paper as my base, then layered some of the black and white papers atop of it!  I grabbed another of those darling ATC cards and used it as my sentiment piece!

I have these little clock die-cuts I made with my die-cutting machine that I misted with the Perfect Pearls spray and inked with distress ink.  I topped it off with liquid pearls!!!

I tucked one of the tags from the kit behind my ATC card and embellished it with more liquid pearls!!!  I also added a pice of flair that matched the base paper!

I finished the card with a bunch of various flowers and dabs of liquid pearls here and there!!!

There you have it!!!  Two fabulous projects with one AMAZING kit!!!!

CMS Challenge #63 with Heidi Swapp "Dreamy" Collection!!!

Hello there crafters!!!  Just popping in to share a layout I created for my very first DT reveal with Color Me Scrappy!!!  

Here is the color combo for this challenge:

Isn't it lovely?!?  The papers from the May "Simple Sweet" Kit from Frosted Designs happened to be perfect for this challenge!  I also used the June 1st sketch over at Colorful Creations:

And here is my page:

This pics were taken at a local park earlier this year.  My youngest daughter is a DIVA and a "little miss know it all"!!!  Although you can't see her, my oldest daughter is on the other side of that finger!!!  Hahahaha!!!!

I started the page by adding some gesso to the background and coloring various Gelatos on top.  I blended with my finger, then used the Tim Holtz "Lattice" layering stencil and some molding paste mixed with gelato for some texture!

I tore up some strips of the Heidi Swapp paper and inked the edges using Prima's "Knotted Wood" ink.  

 I love these wooden veneers that almost all the companies have come out with!!!  They are so fun to play with and go with any style of page!  I added some liquid pearls around this one for added detail :-)

I decided to do a small cluster on the side of the page with various flowers and another wood veneer!

The butterflies were created using a punch and liquid pearls!

 I finished my page with coordinating glittered Thickers from my stash!  

There you have it!!!  My first project for CMS!!!  Be sure to stop by the blog and leave some love for all the fabulous designers there!!!

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