Maja Design!

 Have you had the pleasure of working with Maja Design papers? Oh, my goodness, they are BEAUTIFUL! I have the great privilege of being a Guest Designer for them this month, and when I received my box of goodies to work with - I was entirely blown away. The papers are gorgeous, and can be used in so many ways. Here is my first project for them, but keep popping by, because I have a few more that I get to show you in weeks to come. 

"Still Unwritten"

 

 If you haven't had the chance to see their products... click HERE!

 And to be inspired... please visit their blog, by clicking HERE! Their DT is brilliantly, creative.

 Of course, I also used some Shimmerz paints, and some Prima goodies on the page as well.

Supplies Used: Maja Design Vintage Summer Basics “Minnen-memories, 1921, 1905, 1923″, Prima flowers and Junkyard Findings, Shimmerz Paints, Ranger alcohol ink, gesso, craft wire, misc. rub-ons.

I'll be back later this month, with a few more projects for Maja Design...but in the meantime, check out their blog, and play along with their Mood Board for the month! It's beautiful, and summer-ish... perfect for those of us who are craving those summer hues.

Prima's NSD blohop!!

Yes! It is National Scrapbook Day, and us flower kids wanted to have a little bit of fun with you! If you have come here from Janine's blog, then you are in exactly the right place!

Live With Prima Classes start at 9 am ET and run all day long! 

Here's the link to the classes that we are offering on ustream!  www.ustream.tv/channel/primaflower

What an incredible two years that I have had designing for Prima, it has been such a creative journey and I have been so incredibly honored to have worked alongside some of my own creative muses and make a whole gaggle of friends along the way. It is slowly coming to a close at the end of this term, but I will never forget this design team and my spot among the flower girls. :) I thought to commemorate today and my days with Prima that I would do a little wrap up with my favorite projects from the last two years... after taking a peek, if you leave me a comment telling me which one was YOUR favorite of these, you will be in the running for an incredible RAK from my private Prima stash. :))

Here we go!

From 2011-2012...

"Party Hats"

 "My Beautiful Girl"

 "Boy: A Noise With Dirt on It."

 "The Future Belongs..."

and from 2012-2013...

"Be Unforgettable"

 "Mirror Mirror"

 "I'll Love Remembering 35"

 "I Am the Canvas"

 "Perfume {But No Pincurls}"

I hope that you found some form of inspiration somewhere in those photos, I have loved pouring my heart into the pages and projects - and can't wait to see where my own creative process leads me next :)) I have classes to take and teach, and lots of ideas in this head of mine. I'm sure you do too and I hope that this NSD finds you with tons of mojo and maybe some messy hands. 

Now, I can't leave you without teasing a bit with a new project... but this time, you are only getting the sneaks - you will have to wait until it is shown on the Prima blog to see the whole thing.

 Here's the order of our hop... in the event that you get lost along the way! Thank you so much for hopping along with us today, have fun, be inspired and brilliantly creative!

Welcome, welcome, to the Shimmerz Paints Blog Hop! 

Have you just come here from SHONA's blog? Then you are on the right path!

By now you have certainly seen the images of our new products, Dazzlerz and Texturez.... have you nabbed some of this beautiful paint yet for yourselves? Aaah, our design team and educators are so in love with this product that we wanted to give you another opportunity (or perhaps several!) to win some through this bloghop!! 

 

What's up for grabs if you play along?
Our NEW DAZZLERZ and TEXTUREZ paint!
(Just look at the gorgeous colors!)

To play along with us, click on the link below, and just follow the Shimmerz path! Leave a comment everywhere you go, and finally, once you end up on the Shimmerz blog page, tell us what Shimmerz Paint product you would love to get your hands on. Make sure to leave a comment everywhere though, because there are a couple of prizes hidden within some of the Ed team, and DT blog posts! (To be eligible to win these, you must have left a comment on their blog hop post.)

Here are a couple of projects that I have created using the brilliant new product!

"Beautiful Blues"

I used Gummy Berry Blue Dazzlerz on top of clear, acrylic, banner pieces, and Tidy Widy Texturez under and in the cluster around my photo.

I also used it on top of my letters, and around the acyrlic piece that is circling my son's eye. I just love how the color build upon one another, creating such beautiful texture!! Truly, these new paints are so much fun to play with!

Before we head on over to the next blog, though, we wanted to share our May Challenge with you!!

"...Its Mothers Day Very soon. So in Preparation, the Challenge for May will be something for the Mums. Our Mums are very special and being a Mum is such a gift. This month create something for your Mum, or to celebrate Motherhood. It can be anything, Just be sure to use Shimmerz!

No Ordinary Boy **Prima**

Up on the Prima blog today and using one of the Friday freebie sets...

"No Ordinary Boy"

I incorporated the Friday Freebie cards by pulling them into my Photoshop program and layering my photos within them.

For one of the cards, I altered my photo, making it transparent so that I could include the journaling on the lines. And for the other card, I built up the layers so that it looks like my son is popping out of the frame within the card.

 

Then I printed out copies on cardstock, cutting the details out and ripping the cards, then layering behind my main photos.

Prima Supplies Used:

• Friday Freebies Wishes & Dreams ATCs
• 970093 Wishes & Dreams ATCs
• 970079 Wishes & Dreams
• 970048 Wishes & Dreams
• 970567 Wishes & Dreams
• 563912 Wood Embellishments
• 970246 Wishes & Dreams Type & Tab Stickers
• 564759 Chevron Mask
• Other Supplies: Gesso, Shimmerz Paints, Ranger Alcohol Ink, Masking Tape, Craft Wire

Other supplies:

Shimmerz paints, NEW Patina Texturez and Rolling in the Hay

Alcohol Ink

White signo pen

Beacon 527
