Flowers and boys....

I really wanted to push myself this week and to do a combo that can be difficult at times.....boys and flowers...when I am working on layouts of my daughter or niece....they just flow with flowers. I created a layout of my son in his much younger years and it worked like a dream, but when I start scrappin' his older photos it becomes increasingly difficult because flowers add an air of femininity which he is not.

So, to start my challenge off, I chose April's BAP, (build a page) from Prima. I had these wonderful summer picts of Douglas and the perfect papers from my TimelessDaydreams kit. Add the Distrezz It All, some Glimmer Mist and the Amazing Prima flowers and there you have it......MY BOY!!

So how do you think I did?? Did I pull it off?? I think so....and Doug agreeed!

Multi tasking....

OK...so this weeks layout has many purposes..to say the least!!

FIRSTLY, I created this layout using a sketch from Let's Capture These Sketches....you need to check out the blog and see all the different takes on the sketch! A big welcome to Mazz...our guest DT'er!! She is the grand prize winner for the month of February...let me tell you....she is AWESOME!!

SECONDLY, I used a kit I got from Timeless Daydreams full of Prima GOODNESS!! I was chosen to move on to Round 3....after completing a challenge on Round 2!! orange, blue, diecut, striped paper!









THIRDLY....IT'S PRIMA!! enough said

Happy Friday!!!

Whoo it's Friday...not that that means much to me as I work every Saturday....GOTTA LOVE RETAIL!!! it's keeps me with my discount!!! so no complaints here...

So, at Let's Capture These Sketches we have a Guest Designer this week....Beth aka CrafterBeth!! She created an amazing sketch to work with...(am having problems down loading it so you will need to go to the blog)! Also, both teams are playing so....tons of inspiration!!!

As you may know, I have been following Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of Christmas.....OH THE AWESOMENESS!!! So, I'm kinda stuck on using the Maya Road Christmas Chipboard...and gussying it up!!! Hence the Christmas tree!! have we seen this somewhere before?!?!?!

I also decided to use a slightly unconventional embellishment.....Christmas Berries!!! Yes, I know my pages are WAY THICK!!! Another cool thing I did was create the scrunched up tulle behind the "25"! You see, if you heat it with a Heat Tool....it melts....WAY COOL!!! be careful....it happens quickly!

I got all the yummy papers and embellies for a kit I ordered from Timeless DayDreams!!! It was full of Prima Goodness and Pink Paislee Awesomeness!!!

I hope that every ones holiday season is a wonderful one....Happy Hanukkah....Merry Christmas....to all...and remember the reason for the season!!!
