Family

Sketches in Thyme released it's very first challenge this year.  You had to create a layout following this sketch:

Here's my take:

Happy weekend everyone!

Sweet Girl

I am an avid follower of Prima.  Early this month, they posted the December Prima Product Pick and Palette and this one shows the colors to follow:

I love these Christmas colors!  They add joy to this special day not to mention the family gatherings and gift-giving.  I can't help but create a layout showcasing the above colors and this one's my masterpiece...

Wondering how I did the vine on the right side of the layout?  

I cut it from the Folio paper (under Printery Collection).  It was black.  Hence, I...

1.  traced the vine with a light brown paint 

2.  second coating was dark brown paint

3.  the top was finished with red, green and gold glitters

...  then viola!  It became a gorgeous embellishment!

I apologize for not providing a bigger screenshot.  I'll post it by next week.

This is a very late post.  Been sick even before Christmas.  Then in bed after the holidays due to flu.  = (

Anyway, I am still posting my layout following the last sketch for December at Sketches in Thyme.

Here's the sketch to follow:

And this one is my version...

I'll be back soon for more layouts.


Merry Christmas everyone!

So angelic...

A quickie post...

Sharing with you this cute layout.

I used Pink Paislee products in here.  Some are from Parisian Anthology while others are from the Daily Junque Collection.

The pearls look good on top, right?  I just bought them from a local fabric store, LOL.

So I hope you like it.

Thanks for dropping by!

Have a blessed Sunday...

Chipboards, chipboards!

I love chipboards!

Why?  Because chipboards are versatile and add dimension to any projects.  You can do anything you like on it and put it anywhere you want to.
