falling in love ....

I'm falling in love with the Seashore collection from Prima ... the colours are perfect for boy projects or girl!  Which is convenient because I have one of each, LOL.

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

For the embellishments on the tag and the shadow box I used Prima chalk inks to colour.  I also used the chalk inks to colour the mermaids hair and shadow/shade her tail. You can see the shimmer from the metallic chalk inks - stunning in person.

 

Guess what the shadow box is from?  Give up?  The packaging that the Prima Resins come in!  Talk about up-cycling!

 

Are you in love with the Sea Shore collection yet? 

 



The CropFest weekend ...

I had the amazing opportunity to attend my first CropFest in Kingston Ontario with some amazing gals that I originally met at Crop & Create in Ottawa two years ago, we became great scrappin' buddies, they are two of my Peeps!  I also invited a long-time friend who has recently gotten into scrapbooking.  The theme was Garden Party - and we were encouraged to get into the theme, which we did with our garden hats, fascinators and tea party dresses.  It was an amazing time;  a full weekend of scrapping - challenges and games but no interruptions, no classes, no schedule; very different from what I had been attending recently.  And don't get me wrong, I love the intensity of full day classes, but I also love to be doing my own thing too.

I got a lot accomplished; 3 layouts, two cards and a mini album.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An amazing ArtVenture in Cornwall

What a fantastic time I had at the Cornwall Art Venture!  Three extremely talented ladies taught two classes each over the course of two days ... and a make and take!  I would definitely do it again if they come back to Cornwall!!

 

 
Cari's Classes - I learned the most from these classes - and got to use newly released products - love the 2nd layout it came with a frame!  Love the new Seashore collection!!!

 
 

 

Jamie's Classes - the 2nd one is my favorite of the weekend.

 

 

 
Limor's classes

 

 
 Oh my goodness - do you see all this!

 

These were the Make N Takes on the Friday evening - Cari brought a Fuji Instax camera that takes these mini polaroid photos and we got to create with the Insta Scrap collection.

 

On the Thursday night we had a special episode of Live With Prima that was recorded live at Auntie Em's Scrapbooking in front of a Live Studio Audience - all the Auntie Em's Peeps!!!! and took a group photo afterwards!
 

Well there you have it folks - a pictorial review of my weekend last weekend.  Let me know what you think!  And ... I've heard a rumor that Art Venture may be coming back to Cornwall next year ... keep your eyes and ears open for this!
