    Prima Almanac Mini



    Well I made a new mini album for Gina's Designs.

    Talk about amazing good time making this Wallet Envelope thanks to Stephanie Miller otherwise known as Steffogal1. She does these awesome mini's. In fact, she was the reason I made my first mini and even got involved with PRIMA!!! Crazy right... Well everyone has to fall in love at one time or another! But glad that I have been into it for the last two years now I think.

    Okay so here is the video for the Live With Prima class that I got this idea!















    Here is a video of me sharing the min, you can see more pages and what I used.


    Thanks again for stopping by.

    Chubby Cheek Babies

    It is still blog hop week!


    We are hopping along with some fun projects!


    This month we get to work with some fun products from Flowersoft.  

    Also the wonderful Angela has her store up and running with lots of gorgeous embellishments too.  

    Isn't this just the perfect and cutest little card ever. These cubby cheeks remind me of my little man. My daughter never really got chunky at all, but my son, holy moly, is he writing some pages in the book of chubby babies. He is only 4 months and is in the 90% over the range of growth for his height and 80% for his weight... His daddy is tall and I am considered tall as well. 

    So again for my card today I am using papers and images from the Flowersoft's Mabel Lucie Attwell Card Creator's. You can fussy cut tons of items out of this little book as well as using the coordinated papers. 


    I couldn't resist cutting out the banner and adding some flowers to this sweet card as well as some lace. 


    Again you can see me using some Pearlized String Beads from Angela Holts . These made the perfect border to finish this card off.

    I also made this cute card too. 



    My secret word is BEST!


    Here is the hop list in case you get lost along the way!

    Great Outdoors

    And our wonderful sponsor this week is 

     

    Well I must say I was a bit relaxed with this card as I used the already colored version. I really enjoyed this. I think maybe a few more companies should sell their digital images already colored. That way those that like to color can color or not.



    Items Used:

    Paper Shelter Image
    Authentique Papers
    Distress Ink Walnut Stain Ink
    Pearls
    Flowers
    Spellbinder Dies

    Steampunk Tag

    Angela Holts and Flower Soft Blog Hop

    I have a new project to share with you that I made for

    Sin City Stamps. 



    Yes a new project. I had a blast making this tag. I must say steampunk is a new favorite for me. I definitely got my fingers inky with this project.

    First off let me apologize some of the pictures are not that great! I do not have the tag to retake photos :(

    Okay first off I took a Tim Holtz #8 manilla tag and stamped my image on there with Archival Black Ink. Then I stamped the pocket watches with versamark watermark ink to emboss with Sparkle N Sprinkles Gold Detail embossing powder. The images I chose to use are from the Time Will Tell stamp set.



    Here I went crazy with distress ink colors, Rusty Hinge, Vintage Photo, and Walnut Stain.


    I also used distress stain Vintage Photo on my ribbon.


    I also painted some chip board pieces from Gina's Designs from the steampunk shape set. They were painted with Creative Inspiration Paints. I honestly do not remember those colors! I just grabbed and painted and layered the paint on!



    You can see some metal pieces I added as well. So here are some close ups!




    Don't forget to check out the new sets in the store here!

    This month we get to work with some of the BEST products from Flowersoft.  

    Also the wonderful Angela has her store up and running with some of the BEST  gorgeous embellishments too.  

    Today I am sharing a fun card using Flowersoft's Mabel Lucie Attwell Card Creator's. What is really BEST about the card creators is that it gives you that chance to cut it up and be creative. These particular card creators are a children vintage style with awesome colors and are just the BEST!


    Isn't she just too cute for words. Once again I am using some Yellow String Beads from Angela Holts Store, popped the bow and the little matching sentiment!


    Here is another card using this cute little cutie!


    Aren't these colors the BEST!

    Quick Weekend Share


    I have just a quick share today. Last night I decided to try out for Clearsnap! You can check out their call HERE! 

    Now some of you might be saying Clearsnap who is that??? Clearsnap makes the awesome products we know as Colorbox and Smooch products. Oh yes I know you have seen the chalks in the stores and even the awesome new mixed media inks. 

    So I thought to myself hmmm what do I feel like making. Of course you all know I am a big card maker. But I loved mixed media and I love seeing all the crazy creative people. So I decided to just pull out some stuff and make whatever came to mind. 

    So I pulled out some stuff from my stash and found a challenge to kind of play with. 

    I made two cards to share they are very similar just different colors. I hope they count as two separate projects.



    I used some awesome Prima and Crafters Workshop stencils. Of course I wouldn't resist using some Priam flowers. I used some Smooch Spritz and Mixed Media inks. 






















    I really appreciate you taking a peek at this post and wish me luck.  I had a ton of fun making these cards and challenged myself to keep it simple but detailed and fun. I know I will be making a lot more mixed media cards here in the future!

    I am also loading up my store today. So stop by my Ebay store using the link on the left sidebar!

    Thanks again!
