cute and innocent to Monster High

My daughter is going to a Monster High themed birthday party and I don't know where to find a Monster High birthday card, so I decided to make a tag, and what better a base than to use one of the Julie Nutting doll stamps from Prima - I can draw hair and give her a creepy looking dress and add some bling - that's about all it takes eh?  Well there you go - I painted it up with my watercolour pencils (loving these) and added some tulle and some SIC (Say it in Crystals) to the tag.

This Moment - Sister's - same last name no more ...

This is one of my favorite photos from my wedding - it was very impromptu and un-rehearsed, my sister put her elbows on my shoulders and folded her hands on my head.  It was an amazing moment captured.  This was the last day that we both shared the same last name.  Both of us are now married and have started families of our own.  Photographs are an amazing tool to capture a memory.  The background sheet is from the Ledger pad, and I used the new Stationer's Desk collection from Prima for this layout, and coloured up a Paintable ATC card with Distress Markers and Perfect Pearls (sorry about the glare).  I coloured some Scrap FX chipboard pieces with Twinkling H2O's (wow let me tell you that the pigment in those things is amazing!) and used Ranger's Rock Candy crackle on top.  I used various Prima stamps all over the background and a Tim Holtz stencil with heavy gesso, the finishing touch was Say It In Crystals from the same Stationer's Desk collection - I had my doubts that they matched as they looked too light - but they match perfectly!  The flowers are all Prima as well.

Prima - challenges - Build A Page and Prima Product Picks

So, maybe going to Art Venture Anaheim has given me an advanced opportunity to share with you some of the new Prima products - The BAP is using the Something Blue collection as well as the background is from the Script stack  The PPP is on a canvas board and I used some of the new resins and a tassel from CHA 2014 release.  The last layout is using the Princess collection - and I'll just mention here how much I love the new Say It In Crystals - they are fantastic - they look like moonstones or iron pyrite to me!
