~ Prima ~

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for popping by. It's Mel here and I have some more of the 

gorgeous Prima papers to share with you today!

I just adore the subtle tones of these papers and have loved working with them this month.

Before I share my projects with you I just wanted to remind you of our current challenge.

Judy has designed this one for us. The challenge requirements are:

*Follow this sketch...

*Use some fussy cutting on your layout.

*Use one or all of the following on your layout...buttons, stamping or ribbon.

Why not get an entry in today??

So, the first little project I wanted to share with you is a card I made for my mum for her birthday.

I used the Kaisercraft 'Honeycomb' embossing folder for the background.

I just loved how this turned out. The papers were perfect for my mum as the Parisian style matched her recent overseas trip. I think she loved it! 

The next project I wanted to share is my layout 'Seaside Playtime'

I have used the Prima Seashore papers. The background paper is 'Shell Shock' with three of the cards down the right hand side from the 'Sea Memories' page.

I have used the TCW Mini Organic Matter template with Tim Holtz Distress Powder - Vintage Photo to create the rock formation look behind the photos.

I have fussy cut some of the shells from the 'Shore Side' and some of the cute little stamps from the 'Sea Memories' paper.

For my title I have used 'The Dusty Attic - Blueprint Play'  and some of the Kaisercraft 'Mini Alpha Stickers - Latte'

I love how this layout came together.

Finally, I have one last layout to share. Using the same papers and products I have created this layout 'Tuross Heads'

I hope that you get some time over the weekend to join in our challenge. 

I know I hope to do some crafting ~ what else do you do when it is raining?

Look forward to seeing your entries.

Remember this Moment

Morning Everyone!

Thank you for stopping in here at Scrapbookit.

We have a great little challenge happening this month...worth a look at, why not give it a go!

Judy has designed it and there are a few elements that you need to include in your project. 

So here is the challenge...

You must follow the sketch,  fussy cut and use one or all of the following on your project - buttons, stamping or ribbon.

I have been playing with some of the gorgeous Prima papers this month. They are just beautiful and very easy to use.

Here is my layout...

I have (as always) been a little naughty and have changed a little bit of the sketch around. I have turned the whole sketch around and have moved the title from the bottom corner where the circle is to the top, right hand corner.

I started with a piece of kraft card which I lightly sprayed with Kaiser Mist - Coffee. I also flicked some Kaiser mist onto the card by undoing the lid and using the little tube that leads to the spray nozzle.

I have then cut pieces from...

* Prima Marketing - Vintage Emporium - Opera Seria paper

* Prima Marketing - Vintage Emporium - Verona paper

* Prima Marketing - Vintage Emporium - Florence paper

As well as the...

* Prima Marketing - Seashore - Seashell paper

After adhering these papers to the cardstock I used the Kaisercraft Clear Stamp - Background Script and some brown ink to roughly stamp around the layout.

As gorgeous as these papers are I was unable to do any fussy cutting from them to fulfil my challenge requirements so I had to be a little creative with my thinking.

I created my embellishment cluster using some different products and some fussy cutting.

I have used the Kaisercraft - Flora Quarters templates. With the flower template I used with some Colour Blast - Singin' the Blues Colour Paste. I lightened it a little using some of the Snow White Colour Paste. After the paste had dried I chose a few of the flowers to fussy cut. I inked the edges and gave them a light spray with the Coffee - Kaiser Mist.

I used one of the other Flora Quarters template for the leaves. Instead of using Colour Paste I decided to mix a small amount of Coffee - Kaiser Mist into some Gel Medium. Again, once dried I fussy cut the leaves.

 I have finished off my layout with some twine around the bottom of my photo and some words and some cute hearts for my title from the Kaisercraft Clear Stickers - Script Words.

Have you got your spot secured at our Spring Retreat?

October 7-9 ~ Bright, Victoria
