Prima ArtZine {August Issue} Projects

Hello everybody :). It's been a little quiet around here, yes I know. We're still busy, busy at home- new animals, hunting season, canning, the works- but I thought I'd pop in here and share the two projects that I had published in the August issue of the Prima ArtZine.

First up, a layout that I created for CHA using the popular Anna-Marie Collection:

"Daydream"

The color palette was inspired by the August PPP which was perfect for using this collection. I loved how the black and white photos looked against these bright colors. All of the papers, flowers, stamps, mask, embellishments {except the title stickers}- they are all from the Summer CHA 2013 release.

"Summer Discoveries"

I don't generally use photos on my tags, but I decided to try something different and have some fun here :). My daughter is fearless when it comes to creepy, crawly things. Here she is holding a crayfish we found out at the lake and thought it was just the coolest thing. 

 I've combined a variety of papers, flowers, wood icons, and other embellishments to create a large cluster for my photo to settle into...

Creating With Sketches: Vol 2: "Puppy Love"

Hey fellow scrappers! How are you? I myself have been QUITE busy. But I definitely wanted to share with you a layout that I created for the Creative Scrappers "Creating With Sketches: Vol 2" eBook by Kristine Davidson. After taking part in Vol 1 last year, I knew I just had to join in on this one too! Lots of scrappy friends in this publication as well and I'm so happy that Kristine wanted me to be a part of it :).

Here is what I created:

"Puppy Love"

Another great photo of Gunner playing with our dog Luxor :)

Let's take a closer look:

I loved using the yellow/orange mist against the colors of the Kaisercraft "75 Cents" & "Pickled Pear" papers. Gorgeous! And you can see I put my microbeads to work again as water for my bird bath :).

Delicious combo of Prima flowers :)

A closer look at my masking and layers, and of course the beautiful "Village Sign Post" chipboard piece from Blue Fern Studios :)

Village Sign Post

I first used my "Coffee Shop" Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels and misted the entire piece. Then blotted quickly with a napkin. I then stamped, embossed, and added microbeads. Voila!
