August BAP (Prima Sketch Challenge)

If you have been reading my blog over the past few months, you will know how much i love Prima Products!!

I was so happy to find that they have a monthly sketch challenge!

Its really difficult to find a UK based stockist, with a wide range of products, so the main problem i faced with this challenge was using 90% Prima products, however i did order a class kit directly from Prima last month and was able to use the papers in the layout ...

Here is the sketch.

Here is my layout inspired by this sketch ...

I love that these colours co-ordinate with the colours of the photo, which by the way is my oldest 2 girls on our family holiday earlier this year, those water guns kept them entertained for hours and hours ....

The paper is from the Leeza Gibbons "Wishes & Dreams" collection

The challenge is open until the end of August, you can read more about it here ..

good luck

Whats on my Work Desk .....

It has been a busy, busy past few weeks...

I am glad that all the celebrations have come to an end and that I am able to enjoy some quality time with the girls before they return back to school in the next few weeks...

I have tried to make sometime for some midnight crafting at least every other night. its the perfect remedy after a stressful day..

So here is what's on my work desk ...

I have a few finished projects like, the Prima Scrapbook page and the Prima Frame, which I need to find the perfect place for....

Here is a close up of those beautiful flowers.....

Beautiful, right ? more about this project on another post :)

I also have a (WIP) Work In Progress.. a mini album and an unfinished card ...

 

 

 

I need to finish the pockets and attach them to the album and then the fun part embellish it !!!

 



I also have a basket where I keep all my WIP and fun embellishment's, papers and miscellaneous items...

So what's on your work desk ? Any fun projects in progress ?

Prima dolls....

It's been crazy busy around here these last few days and probably will be until the rest of the week ...

I recently bought a prima marketing doll stamp, which if you have t seen them are beautiful ... I was totally inspired by this video.

I made my own wall hanging, which is now hanging in my craft room ;)

I love that the stamp is so versatile and you could add her to so many other projects. So here are a few ideas ....
