I know, I know, it's been more than a month since I posted. This working full time is for someone else ~ not me. I feel like I have no time to do the creative things I enjoy so much. But Breanna and I are going to get creative tonight. I picked up some supplies last night and I have another list to pick up at my LSS on the way home from work this evening and then we're taking over the dining room table and we are creating, all night long. I wonder if the family will expect dinner first?

Lots of my list items are Prima. They are so great for way more than just scrapbooking projects. Check out some of their new stuff below...

Kit layout

I made this layout for Unforgettable Memories.
Lynette will have kits ready shortly. The papers and embellishments are all by Quick Quotes

More Halloween photos

My nephew Wade. Isn't he a cutie?

I used a resist technique with bubble wrap and UTEE, but because the paper was glossy the paint on top rubbed off the pp better than off the UTEE. That's okay ~ I love how it turned out. I dribbled paint along the top of the page for more eerie green Halloweeny effect.
Isn't that Basic Grey bling Spider wonderful? Felt shapes and chipboard words are Littly Yellow Bicycle and the title is Making Memories.

More Halloween

It's that time of year and Halloween are the papers Lynette at Unforgettable Memories has given me to work with.
The papers are Bobunny exceept for the orange and black diamond at the very top of the page. That's Little Yellow Bicycle.
I inked and distressed everything. And sprayed the background with 'soot' Glimmer Mist.
I love the Prima felt scrolls sticking out from under the top torn papers. I embellished it with Kaiser jewels.

Halloween layouts

My sister sent me some Halloween photos from past years so I've been scrapping them. I love how this page turned out. I sprayed with green Maya Mist and my own orange mini mister, over the big scrolly Tim Holtz mask.
I matted my photos on white cardstock. The edges are distressed and inked. And I used my new 'swiss cheese holey' punch right on the photos. Then I set a few orange eyelets into the medium sized holes; it's been ages since I used eyelets.
The photos are grounded with a couple of strips of Little Yellow Bicycle pp and a piece of MM green dotty tape.
Next I layered the 'One Spooky Night' transparency. It's 12 x 12 with bats up one side, grey scrolls & diamonds, and ric rac around the edges.
On top of that I placed a couple of sticker tiles, some Prima flowers with star bling centers and lengths of MM's orange star trim. I wanted something more so I tore some thin(1/2 ") strips of black paper, folded them in half to cover the white backs and then folded them in scrolls around the star trim.

Finished

I've been working my way through a Jessica Sprague online digital photo editing course. It's slow going as she uses Adobe and I have Corel at work. I can do all the same things, but sometimes it takes a while to find where Corel puts the commands. I did my journaling right on the large picture of Tikanii and also added some texture and a frame to the photo itself.
The papers are all Little Yellow Bicycle. I've embellished with Prima flowers, Maya Rd felt birds, Pink Paislee chipboard, some fun wood scrolls and a couple EK Success epoxy 'pet' stickers I've had forever.
