Prima Stencils at Sassy Scrapper

Hello bloggers,

If you haven't seen my posts on the Sassy Scrapper blog the past few weeks

You'd have missed these.

I've been creating using a few of the new Prima Stencils available in the Sassy Scrapper

Online store.

Here are the pages I've created using various techniques.

Prima BAP - October

Hello blogger/scrappy friends.

So I've never done a Prima - Build A Page challenge and thought I might 

give it a go this month.

Here's the cool sketch for October.

This is my take on the sketch.

Can you guess where I was Inspired to start my page design? 

Well it's only small but if you look in the photo at the stained glass design there's a little rose

that reminded me of the Prima Stencil with a similar rose and things just sort of flowed from there.

Funny how the tines thing can spark the whole creative process...

A gorgeous assortment of Prima Marketing flowers and 

a little Junkyard findings zipper made up the bulk of my pages' embellishments.

I used a Prima stencil as I mentioned above to create the background on my page.   Along with Finnabairs' - Art Basics 3D Matte Gel which I coloured gold with Prima Color bloom spray - Gold Foil.

Droplets of water colour paints added the pink/orange colours to the background with

some light stamping.

This was the first time I got to use this Prima lace doily Metal Die-Cut with some papers from the Epiphany collection.  I cut several of the Doilies and layered then under the photo.

I tied this in with some lacey punched borders also with the Epiphany papers.

More Epiphany papers and a cute little butterfly wood embellishment that I coloured with distress inks.

thanks for stopping by. :) Hope you like my page.

'One Rainy June Afternoon 1998' - For Once Upon A Sketch and 7 Dots Studio

Hello all!

I had some time over this past weekend to do some scrapping and I decided to do the Challenge 

at Once Upon A...Sketch.   I've done a couple of the sketches here over the last months and I must say

I really like that they get me thinking about my journalling and ensuring it's meaningful.

I love scrapping for the pure enjoyment of playing with paper and and stencils and mediums -

yes all the fun messy stuff!  But it's easy to lose sight of the memory keeping side of scrapping amongst all that product so I'm thankful that this challenge is 

'keeping me honest' I guess you could say.

  

Here's the sketch for April.

Journalling Theme: "An event that changed my life..." 

I've also used the current challenge at 7 Dots Studio

 "April showers bring May flowers" 

Here's what I created. 

'One Rainy June Afternoon 1998'

I scrapped a current picture of my Husband and I but as you'll see further down it's about 

a mementous day we shared in 1998 which I have no pictures from - pre-digital - so we didn't take

thousands of photo's back then!

Another reason to be thankful for this challenge.  

I would never, normally have scrapped this memory because I had no photo of it!

 As per the flower theme from the 7 Dots Studio challenge I've included lots of flowers on 

my page.  Most of them I've altered either by adding Prima Chalk ink or Colour Shine sprays, layering them on top of each other and securing with a brad to make a larger flower. 

These close ups are of the background work using Izink inks and Luminarte Elementals.

On the background I've also used one of the newer Prima Stencils with modelling paste and 

rubbons for texture.

The papers layered behind my photo's are from the 7 Dots Studio, 

9th Wave collection and the base paper is from the 

Messy Head collection. 

  

Here's my Journalling.  There was a lot!! 

So I printed it out on three tags and stuck them together with tape so it can all be folded and slipped behind the photo.   I guess it's basically all about the day my Husband and I decided to commit to each other,  eighteen months after this day we got married and started our family.  

 It amazes me -because my memory of past events is usually not the best- that I can remember little details about this day so many years later. The rain, the football match - I guess it just shows that it was a pivotal moment in our lives. 

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a look at my blog.
