Happy Halloween! Just a quick post to share just a few sneaks of the BEAUTIFUL November kit. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the full reveal!

See ya tomorrow!

My new blog header....YMH

Hi everyone....shareing today my new blog header I made from the beautiful goodies in the Prima Grab Bag bought at the Your Memories Here Store. I made it from the A4 Londonerry papers and used Prima flowers, lace, alphas, resin window, resist canvas shapes(colored with Glimmer Mist)and the brick stamp. Here are a few close ups:

 If you would like to try this for your own blog, this is what I did. I designed it to fit in a area that measured about 11 1/2 x 4 inches.  When I had it completed, I re sized it in Picnik(free photo editing and I use it all the time) to 960 x 400 to fit my blog and did a little editing.If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will help you if I can! I didn't stick anything down so now I get to use those beauties again. Be sure to head to the store and get yourself some of those Prima goodies! Have a great weekend!

Enjoy the Moments...Your Memories Here

Good morning to all my blogging friends. Sharing a layout today that I made with some goodies from the Your Memories Here Store. This is a photo of dear hubby and I just didn't care...I was adding flowers. I used this sketch from A2Z Scraplets. for inspiration.

I used Tim Holtz Kraft resist papers and MME Wild Asperagus. I did some misting using Tattered Angels Stencils and Oriental Poppy Glimmermist and did a little stamping behind the photo using the Tattered Angels Architectural Trim Stamps.

The funny thing is I had this layout completed when I received my Prima Grab bag and I was tearing stuff off and adding some of the new Prima Londonerry flowers, Prima Resist leaves and the Textured Alphas....that bag is amazing! I did some fussy cutting, random stitching and a few splatters of paint.

I made the bling using this tutorial and I also made some of the smaller flowers(brown,blue and beige ones)  using  Vicky Alberto's(simplypaper) beautiful Wild Rose  tutorial 

 

The vines surrounding the picture were bought at Dollerama and the burlap ribbon at Walmart.  That's it for me....so be sure to check and the store and I hope you have a great weekend!

Precious Baby Boy Layout...YMH and a toot!

Happy Friday Everyone.....  Sharing a layout today that I made with some goodies from the Your Memories Here Store. I didn`t follow any sketch this time and boy did I struggle...if someone told me I could only do masculine layouts from now on, I would close the scraproom door and never open it again.
Here it is:

 

This is my son when he was a baby...he is now 20.I made the denim flower but the smaller ones are Prima  and  I added a few lego blocks and buttons.

I did some stamping with Tattered Angel Architectural Trims stamps and a little spraying with Glimmermist in Sweet Clover.

I glued everything down using Helmar 450 Quickdry Adhesive(great stuff) and did a little inking with Distress Inks in Old paper. Everything else came from my stash...papers are My Mind Eye Wild Asperagus and the the title rubons are also MME.

Be sure to check out the store for all your scrapping supplies .

Look over there------------------------>

See that super awesome badge at the top.....I won the September Swirly Hues Challenge! How awesome is that!

Hope you have a great weekend...I will be doing schoolwork and getting ready for midterms because I skipped off yesterday and went scrapping!

Paper Niche October Kit

Good morning to all my blogging friends....I am finally going to reveal the beautiful Paper Niche October Kit. The reveal was a little delayed due to new store opening but here is what I created:
  
This one was made using a combination of My Minds Eye Lost & Found 2 and Bo Bunny Et Cetera. The next layout I made using the Fabscraps papers and they are just BEAUTIFUL!!!!

 This is my husbands Dad who died when he was just 6 and I used papers from the Bo Bunny Et Cetera collection again...perfect for those older pictures. All the chipboard pieces I have used are AcuCuts that you can find at the store.And finally, I altered my clock to match my new scraproom colors. This is what it looked like before:

 And now it looks like this:

 I used Fabscraps paper for the inside and painted the outside with crackle paint and 2 colors of acrylic paint. I then jazzed it up  a bit using Prima flowers and Bling included in the kit. Here is a picture of the beautiful October Kit and all that it includes and believe me...there is lots!!!!!!

Me @ 38....Your Memeories Here and SwirlyHues

Hi everyone....Here today to share a layout I made with some scrappy goodies from the Your Memories Here Store 

I will be entering this layout in the SwirlyHues Color Challenge 

Isn't it beautiful and look at that gorgeous sketch. You also had to use one of their tutorials and I used Altering Chipboard with Crackle paint. I often use their tutorials because I am a lurker on their site.
 This layout is a rare one because I rarely scrap myself and if I do, it is childhood photos, but I have been meaning to do this layout for a long time. If I do it just once a year, it will prove I existed years down the road when I am dead and gone. I used a mix of papers, Bo Bunny Et Cetera and Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden and the Anthology line. Some of the flowers are from Prima and the lace  is  also Prima. The little squares are tiny ceramic tiles.

I inked the edges with Distress Ink in Old Paper and dyed the frame using Ranger inks...love how it turned out! I found the quote on Pinterest but changed it a little.

Also did some stamping behind the photo using Tattered Angels Architectural Trims Clear Stamps.  

I also altered the color of some of the flowers using Glimmermist. That's it for now but I will be back soon for the reveal of the Paper Niche October Kit. Have a great weekend!
