Keepsake Box

Good afternoon :)

I thought I would share a recent Keepsake box I made for my sister. She had asked for something special, pretty and pink that she could keep her children's keepsakes in.

For this I altered a fake book type box using Prima Flowers and butterfly, Dusty Attic chipboard, various mediums and other embellishments. The Dusty Attic chipboard used were Vintage Frame and Little Angel.

I primed the chipboard with Studio Gesso and then as I did not have the Dusty Attic shade of pink paint I wanted, I used Jenni Bowlin Chewing Gum paint. I made several different gradients of pink by mixing with Dusty Attic Alabaster paint. I then applied to the chipboard using pale Pink on the inner section to a brighter pink on the outer edges. When this was dry I covered with Ranger Distress Crackle Paint in Rock Candy and added some Prima Pearls.

Flowers and e-line pearls are from Prima,Glossy Accents, doily, glitter and buttons were also used.

Prima January BAP

Hi all x Just a quick update. I was really happy to have had the below layout featured on the Prima blog as work they liked xxx happy days xxx

Hi all x

This is just a quick post showing my layout for the January Prima BAP challenge. I decided to use the Rondelle Collection, which i absolutely LOVE!

I used two 3x2 b&w photos and behind them layered different types of mesh and net materials. I then fussy cut flowers from the Gavotte paper and layered them on top the material to frame the photos. Behind the flowers i used white fibres. The bottom of the page is torn and the Sovienne paper is underneath. The flowers, wooden embellishments and butterflies are from the Rondelle line.

I hope you like :)   I have included some close ups but its a dark day today so the lighting was not great xxx

Prima Blog June PPP

Hi all,
I was very excited to see my entry into the June Prima PPP shown on Prima blog as a project they liked:) i was a happy bunny! The piece was actually from a wedding album i did for my friend.

Prima SunKiss Wedding Album

Hi, today's post contains a lot of pictures so hopefully you will not get bored! One of my best friends got married last year and I decided I wanted to do something special and scrapbook related for her gift, so i decided on a mini album of her wedding day. Her colour scheme was green and yellow and her flowers were sunflowers, the Prima Sunkiss collection seemed like a match made in heaven! The book i used was a 9x9 Bo Bunny Naked Binder, so the album ended up being a not so mini mini album!

At the back of the album i added another mini album which held photographs of the ceremony and readings.

I used mainly the Sunkiss Collection papers and embellishments. I also used some of her own ribbon from the wedding invites, jewels on the table, confetti and other keepsake bits from the wedding for embellishments. There are a mixture of the prima flowers as well as some handmade ones from myself using the SunKiss papers and material. I have used various distress inks (Tim Holtz), ink from Prima, and Tattered Angels mist sprays . I have also used crackle paints, acrylic paint, gesso and glossy accents. My friend prefers a more classic and simple look so i have kept the use of mediums to a minimum.

Hope you like and thanks for looking :)

This is the mini ceremony album
