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.

A Brag Book Mini Album w/Webster's Pages~!

**For my February Giveaway, please go HERE**

Hi~! Today I have a mini album to share with you that I created as a "Grandma's Brag Book" for my mom, featuring all of her grandchildren :). I used the breathtakingly beautiful Modern Romance collection from Webster's Pages to put this mini together. I just love how the bright, cheerful colors enhance the sweet smiling faces within :)~!

"Delight the Heart" {Mini Album}

Since I chose to use the stunning images provided on the Modern Romance "Love Defined" paper, I wanted to keep the cover somewhat simple. So I started by adding the trims along the right-hand edge before using some of the *new* Washi Tapes (the orange is from New Beginnings and the pink is from Sweet Notes) from Webster's Pages to create the banners behind my title. I then used a Blue Fern Studios "Organic Vine" to set the stage for my title.

To dress up the edges of my book, I used the coordinating *new* Modern Romance/New Beginnings Ruffled Bloomer Trims. Aren't they amazing??

How about a peek inside?

To start off this book, I thought I'd begin with a sweet Grandmother's Prayer. I then began by designating a page to each one of my mom's grandkids, starting with my Wyatt :). 

On each page I included overlays cut from the Sweet Notes and Composition and Color collections. I like how the pops of black look against all that color :).

I also added a little bit of fussy cut elements here and there, as well as some classic embellishment favorites like the owl charm and the button w/twine :).

I've used washi tapes from all of the new collections throughout this album. Here I've used them to create borders on my pages.

You might have also noticed the cute little bows I used in a couple of different pages, like the brown polka dot bow you see here. These little bow sets are part of the fun & affordable "Quick Picks" program offered by Webster's Pages. See the full collection HERE~!

"Love" Canvas~ Webster's Pages Composition & Color, Sweet Notes, & More!

**For my February Giveaway, please go HERE**

Hello! :)

I'm checking in today to share with you a canvas I created using the *NEW* Composition & Color, Sweet Notes, & New Beginnings collections from Webster's Pages- PLUS a few "oldie but goodies" in there too!! Mixing collections is always a breeze with Webster's Pages~ So let's take a look!

"Love"

This is my absolute most FAVORITE photo of my husband Josh and myself. We'd just started seeing one another and just looking at this photo brings back those incredible butterflies :). Seriously, I love this photo more than any of our wedding photos!! Such a special time in our lives- we were so incredibly head-over-heels-NUTS about eachother!! (and still are ;) )~ but you know what I mean. It's always so intense in the beginning- I wish you could just bottle that up and take a sip from it every now and again ;)...

ANYWAYS...

Let's take a closer look, shall we?? ;)

I've used a combination of Webster's Pages trim, twine, bling, overlays, doilies, and fussy cut elements to create the border here.

 I completely love the overlays that were released with the Composition & Color and Sweet Notes collections! So EASY to cut and use!

The wooden planks cut from the "Weathered" paper were perfect for layering and setting up my background...

 

 And old favorite of mine, a "Pinwheel Florette". SO glad Webster's still makes these!! :)

My title treatment happened by mistake. I thought that my circle punch would be strong enough to punch it out of the overlay sheet- but all it could manage was to cut the left and right side of the word. But never to be discouraged, I simply threaded through some seam binding and used it to hang my title. Awesome :).
