Journey ~~Imaginarium Designs

Good Morning My Beautiful Friends,  This is a design team project for Imaginarium Designs.  For the ID chipboard I first misted them with some charcoal Glimmer Mist and then topped that with some "Hot Chocolate" Chalkboard Glimmer Mist which matched the papers perfectly.  The flower cluster is mostly mini roses and a small spray from I Am Roses.  Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy!!

Don't Forget ~~Scraps of Darkness~~

Here's another DT project that I was able to get out this afternoon.  This is a photo of my friend's kids at a wedding last year.  I did A LOT of layering for this one, lol!  I still have a bit of the flu, so this was kind of a quicky.  Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy!!


Little Missy ~~Scraps of Darkness~~ Sketch Challenge

This is another project using the beautiful May Kit "Summer Breeze" from Scraps of Darkness.  This is my take on this month's sketch by our beautiful SuePup.  This is another photo of Madison.  Everything on this layout is included in the kit except for the bicycle chipboard which is from Imaginarium Designs which I altered by inking it with some Tim Holtz "Gathered Twigs" ink.  I did a lot of layering with two of the paper collections in the kit, Prima "Sun Kiss" Collection and the Simple Stories "Documented" Collection.  Thanks again for dropping by and I hope you enjoy!!

Cherish ~~Scraps of Darkness~~



This is another Design Team project using the gorgeous May Kit "Summer Breeze" from Scraps of Darkness.  Melinda has put together a wonderful collection of papers and goodies for this amazing kit!!  This is another photo of my hairdresser's little missy.  I just loved the sunflowers in the photo and thought it was perfect for this kit.  For the bg paper I cut and punched it and then layered it onto some of the brown Jillbean Corrugated Cardboard from the kit.  I then adhered some of the Bottle Cap Inc. Flattened Chrome bottle caps with some of the epoxy stickers also from the kit glued onto them.  I made the shabby banner out of some of the left over cardboard and papers from the kit.  Thanks so much for dropping by and I hope you enjoy!!

Hailee ~~Scraps of Elegance~~

Good Morning My Beautiful Friends,  This is the 1st of my design team projects using the gorgeous May Kit called "Swan Song" for Scraps of Elegance.  What a BEAUTIFUL kit this is!!  Full of Prima's "Fairy Belle" papers along with some Pink Paislee "London Market" and some Webster's Pages "Everyday Poetry" Collections of papers.  There is some Prima chipboard, Melissa Frances resin wings and a "to die for" chandelier drop.  I love the Prima wooden trinkets that also come in the kit.  You should head over to Scraps of Elegance to grab this kit before they're sold out!!



For this project I used some of the gorgeous Prima "Fairy Belle" papers along with the matching Prima chipboard.  The bling is from Prima "Say It In Pearls".  The beautiful butterflies were made by our ever talented Renea and were just perfect with the colors in these papers.
