Prima Marketing: Flower Focus & Free Spirit

Good morning :)

I thought I would share with you today a layout that I created a little while back for Prima Marketing for Winter CHA 2014. This one ended up being one of my favorites; I was able to combine the Free Spirit Collection {one of my faves of the new releases} as well as a bunch of the new flowers from this release- and we all know how much I love my flowers!

"You're My Sunshine"

I felt that the fun, retro imagery worked really nicely with this adorable photo of my daughter. She truly is my sweet sunshine :)

Lots of layers have been added beneath my photos; transparencies, a wood ATC, pages from the new ATC pads, and printed chipboard. I love to give plenty of dimension to boost my photo above and over my flower clusters.

The metallic silver worked really nicely with these papers and against the bright pops of color. And the crochet icons- aren't they adorable?! Definitely must-haves!!

I layered in a bit of the new crocheted trim beneath my flower cluster, topping it off with some beads and bling. I've applied acrylic paint to my background (seen in blue) and then masked on top of it with modeling paste before giving it some dimension with white embossing powder.

C'est Magnifique December Kit Reveal~!

**For my November giveaway, please go HERE**

Hey there! It's that time again- to reveal the next kit from C'est Magnifique! For the month of December, we're featuring the "Silent Night" Collection from Pion Design (Sweden). What's great about this kit is that it can go either holiday-themed, winter inspired, or every day- which I hope to show you in this post :).

"Blissful Snow"

If there's anything my kids love, it's playing in the snow! And good thing too, because we get a LOT of it where I live! I absolutely love the "wintery" options in this kit. I used a mask and some modeling paste, along with some glitter to add to the icy feel of this layout.

"Angel"

My sister's daughter, Lilah, is one of my most favorite people . Probably because she reminds me a lot of myself- a fiery, temperamental redhead who is also sweet and fun, full of sarcasm and loves to be the center of attention! My sister actually captured this amazing photo of her and I knew instantly I wanted to scrap it! The pretty pinks in this kit, as well as the angel elements all just came together in this very fitting layout.
