Class Plaque

A couple of weeks ago, I did a class painting and decorating a mdf plaque using Prima Engraver papers, flowers, chipboard elements.

 

The board and hearts were painted with kaisercraft Eggshell paint and then I stamped the "love" wording with a Kaisercraft Crackle stamp and Stampin'Up Sahara Sand ink pad. The kit included 16 sheets of 6x6 papers from the Prima Engraver collection, some flowers and the chipboard elements pack. Mdf pieces came from Rob the mdf man and he can be seen at most of the scrapbooking/card making shows around the country. Really happy with the way everyones turned out, all slightly different which is great to see. I do have a few kits left if anyone is interested, they are £15.00 each and come with full instructions.

 



Marchs kit

With everything going on I completely forgot to post photos of the mini book the girls did with me at home and at the shop last month.  We had tabbed chipboard and acrylic pages in a 6x6 album. The kit included 6x6 papers from the new Prima Almanac range together with flowers, some grungepaper and Tim Holtz tags. I knew,what with getting ready to move, that I would not have time to sort photos etc so my album is in readiness for wedding photos that are going to be taken in June. As to give the girls some guidance to where photos would go and sizes etc I have attached plain paper pieces with removable glue.

First up the cover, using Tim Weathered clock in grungepaper

Products used:

• Woodware chipboard album
• Prima Almanac 6x6 pad
• Prima Almanac flowers
• Prima Songbird Stamps
• Tim Holtz Weathered clock, Vintage cabinet dies
• Tim Holtz Inkessentials tags
• Tim Holtz Distress Ink Tea Dye, Black Soot and Adirondak Rust
• Tim Holtz Distress Stain Picket Fence
• Bazzill cardstock
• Black DL envelopes
• Bazzill brad
• Glitz alphabet stickers

All the ephemera was from the sheets in the paper pack, I used the stamps to the tags and on cardstock to cover the pockets made from envelopes. The distress stain was used to colour the clock face and I used Black soot ink to colour the hands. Mini books are a great project for a event, weekend away etc where you dont want to or have time to dedicate a whole 12x12 album to. Great idea for presents as well.

Looking forward to a crafty day tomorrow with my monthly crop, whatever you are doing have a great Easter weekend.

Take 2

Theres a story behind this layout.....it was a class I did at my last ATDML retreat.  Last class of the weekend and I rushed the spraying with Tattered Angels sprays.  I never got around to finishing it and everytime I picked it up I liked it less and less....I had gone a bit overboard with the spray!!  So this week I took all the kit leftovers out and had another go.  I have some Tattered Angels sprays so I used a green instead of a bright pink with a Tattered Angels mask just in the middle but also covering the material tag that I had in the kit. With the pieces of Prima cardstock I created the rest of the layout.  The flowers were done in the class, we used canvas and Tim Holtz Tattered Rose die. The canvas pieces were stamped and sprayed as well. I cant remember whose border punch that was but suspect its a Martha or a EK Success.  The only thing I added was the little tickets and journaling panel.  The lace was cream but I sprayed that turquoise and the leaves are one of the new Stampin'Up! sizzlet dies. 

Much happier now and another bag out of the crate!!





More Fancy Pants

With the remains of the papers I had left over from yesterdays layout, I made this one.  Some very precious photos of my nan and aunt sadly no longer with us, together with son James. Just love these papers and the flowers from Prima match beautifully.  On a special page like this I wanted to add the prima pearl swirl, if you out cut most of them carefully, you can usually get 2 sprays out of one pack.

Another couple of layouts done yesterday...I am on a roll..lol!!

Engagment layout

Made myself sit and put some final touches to some layouts yesterday, this layout was a class at the retreat I went to in November.  The papers are from Pink Paislee and they were plain with a embossed design all over them.  They were coloured using distress ink, did not make a note of colours..sorry! The using a tissue to buff off the ink sitting on top of the resist.  I used subtle colours on mine to fit in with the photos. The frames were on another sheet which we cut around and coloured again.  The flowers were Prima and the small butterfly was Martha Stewart, the lovely large one a Marianne die. The You to me label was from My Minds Eye, not sure on the tickets, could be Tim's.  I added the "yes" onto the ribbon, that was from a pack by 7 Gypsies and some pearls I think were Prima. Not Sure what the flourish was as it came in the kit but probably Sizzix.

Have a lovely Sunday!

Cosmic Shimmer

Another class layout from my retreat that used Cosmic Shimmer's. Must admit I have quite a few of these bottles in my craft room that have never been touched but now I am looking forward to having a play!! They were sprayed through a May Arts template and I used a very light colour first then went over it with the blue/green colour and finshed off with the bronze colour. I felt it needed a simple layout on top so I just added some of the lovely Prima vines and a Prima stamp for the journaling. The title is done with some black glitter thickers.

Have a great weekend!

We are family

Managed to get back to some scrapbooking last night after spending most of the week clearing out cupboards!!

These papers are from Prima Dude collection...again not something I would normally buy but I picked them up last year and found them whilst looking for something else! I think I planned to do a layout of one of my sons with it...but I liked this photo as well and I still have plenty to do another layout. The title is 3 bugs in a rug stickers and the ribbon is from my stash.
