Little but Tough

As you may know I absolutely love Prima. I love their papers, their flowers, their pearls, rhinestones and metal embellishments...All so very beautiful! I normally use photos of my daughter when creating with Prima products but this time around, I wanted to make the Botanical collection work for photos of my son. For this y' 'bolayout, I used Prima's March BAP sketch.

I almost didn't and any flowers, but I couldn't help myself! Ha Ha Ha! I thought I could get away with it though as the blooms here are tiny and tattered. I added open stitched burlap for a more rustic feel. I also did a little bit of masking/misting with a Prima screen and Glimmer Mist.

Thanks so much for your visit today! Have a wonderful, scrappy weekend!

Hugs,

Jolaine

Just Another Beautiful Day

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today I'm sharing a layout I created for Gerry's shaped layout challenge at the Webster's Pages ning site. I had a ball fussy cutting and designing with the Spring Market collection. The colors and patterns are fresh and bright so I went with a yellow, green and red color palette, no grunge here!

This picture of Emily is a couple of years old but I thought the colors and the expression in her face went perfectly with this collection. It took me forever to fussy cut the bird and hanging sign image but thought it was worth it. It almost looks like Emily is gazing at it! Here are a few close-ups:

I cut a lot of the images in the design paper out and highlighted the cutouts by adding Rock Candy Stickles, layering them and adhering some with Pop Dots.

I remembered to take pictures as I created that paper border so I should have a tutorial for you soon. Thanks for joining me today, I hope you have a beautiful day!!!

Hugs,

Jolaine

Mother and Daughter

Hello there wonderful blog readers! I just have a quick post today to share a layout I created using the beautiful Gabrielle collection by Bo Bunnny. I could hardly wait to work with these papers, the colors and beautiful designs attracted me instantly, not to mention the butterflies!

I used the sketch Bo Bunny posted in a recent challenge.

The picture of Emily and I was taken last summer at Disney (now you know why I look so tired and without make up! LOL!). Everyone says we look identical here so I thought I would dedicate the page to her. I cut out the damask design out of the design paper and used the framed area to include some journaling. The title is a chipboard piece from Dusty Attic to which I applied acrylic paint and glimmer mist to create this metallic effect.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Enjoy the rest of the week!

Hugs,
Jolaine
