A beautiful day for Prima…

Hopefully you’ve all been able to fit in some scrapping time over the long weekend! I’ve been spring cleaning our bedroom cupboards and celebrating hubby’s birthday, so the scrapping time has been minimal but productive.

This week I showcase you some Prima goodness again. I am having a blast with this paper and the wedding pics from my brother and new sister in law’s wedding.

I haven’t used multiple pics in a while but wanted to capture these 2 individual shots of them on one page. I cut down two 6”x4” ones that I had already printed to save wasting them.

Munchkin....

As you can probably figure, I simply can’t go past a photo of my adorable nephew and what a great opportunity with this gorgeous Jenni Bowlin range. This week I bring you a simple step by step page to have a go at.
You will need to head over to the Scraploot online store first to pick up the following:


Now let’s get you started….. 
1.       Using your black cardstock, cut a photo mat in the middle of the page. Alternatively, purchase a second sheet and use that for your photo mat. Adhere magic mount to the back of your photo mount.
2.       Using the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV "Accessory Sheet" cut a piece from the red dot side measuring 15cm wide x 6cm high. Distress and ink. Place 2cm from the left hand side and 4cm from the top of your cardstock.
3.       Using the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV "School Dress" sheet, cut a piece from the text side measuring 25cm wide x 20cm high. Distress and ink. Place along the right hand edge of your card stock and 3cm from the bottom of your card stock.
4.       Using the Jenni Bowlin "Lacy Border" paper cut a strip 29cm wide x 5cm high. Distress and ink. Place along the right hand edge of your card stock and 6.5cm from the bottom of your card stock.
5.       Using the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV "Accessory Sheet”, take the red/cream rectangle part and cut a piece 14cm wide x 6.5cm high. Ink. Place 1cm from the right hand edge of your card stock and 6cm from the bottom of your card stock.
6.       Using the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV "Multiplication" sheet, cut a piece 13cm wide x 3cm high from the black side. Distress and Ink. Place along the right hand edge of your card stock and 5.5cm from the top of your card stock.
7.       Place your photo 7.5cm from the left hand edge and 9cm from the bottom of the cardstock.
8.       Ink the 2Crafty chipboard pole and cut in half. Place either half along the left hand and bottom edges of your photo map, leaving approximately 1cm gap from the mat. Place rhinestones along chipboard. 
9.       Create your photo cluster in the bottom left hand corner of your photo mat. Take 2 large black flowers and layer. Place a large red flower just off centre of the black ones. Layer black plastic flower directly on top of red one. Place red pearl trinket through mini cream flower and adhere flower to middle of black plastic one. Taking 3 cream medium flowers, scatter under the larger flowers to create a fan effect.   
10.   Take a piece of black string and create a loop effect along the right edge of your photo. Fasten to page with staples. Place 2 butterfly stickers near the loop joins with magic mount. 
11.   Create your title with the letter stickers. Finish with a coat of Glossy Accents to create an epoxy look to the letters. 
12.   Finish your page with journaling and a coat of Glossy Accents on your chipboard.
I hope you have enjoyed this week’s page. Stay tuned for more DT work throughout the week and have a go at the April sketch challenge while you are at it!

Happy scrapping!

A Day of Love...... a wedding and gorgeous Prima!

Welcome to a new week, I can’t believe that March is almost at an end. To kick off the last week of the month, I bring you something from the beautiful Prima range….. I know how you all love Prima!

We celebrated my brother in law’s wedding last weekend and as soon as my husband (yes, my husband) saw these Prima papers, he commented how perfectly they complemented the theme and colours from the wedding. And yes, I must admit, he was spot on! I have used a black and white photo so as not to distract from the gorgeous papers, but if you happened to see some of the pics on my Facebook page, you will know how well matched they are to the wedding (for those that haven't, I have plenty to share in my scrapping over coming weeks, so you won't miss out!).

So with out further adieu, I bring you some inspiration from the new Prima Nature Garden Collection…..

I love the romantic feel of the papers in this range and the soft colours. As the paper is so detailed, I have made a feature out of parts of it to embellish the page. I’ve used the existing sized pieces of the patterns in the paper and cut them out and inked the edges, then finished with some Magic Mount and it has given an instant feature to part of the page.
I also wanted to continue a bit of a butterfly effect that was featured on the papers, so I found 2 different sized butterfly punches in my stash at home and punched out a few and layered them. I gave the edges a light inking and curled up the edges and clustered around the flowers.

I hope you all enjoy the last week of March. Don’t forget to keep your eye out for more inspiration here on the blog during the week. Until next week, happy scrapping!
