Birthday Card no.2 - Prima CAT September Challenge

Hello Everyone

It is my neice's Birthday on Thursday and so I made 2 cards for her Birthday.  One was from us and the other from my parents.

I shared the first one the other day and so here is the other one, as promised.

I used BoBunny chocolate pearlescent to create the gorgeous, pastey yet shimmery background.

Here's a closer shot.

I so loved how it turned out.

My niece really liked it too and that is most important.

I played along with the Prima CAT September challenge.

I used the Vintage Emporium Collection for this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you have a super evening!

It's a Dogs Life - Prima Build a Page July 2016

Hello Everyone

I finished a page for the Prima Build a Page for July.

Here is the BAP.

So here is my take on it.

I used all sorts of bits and pieces from various Prima collections, but mostly from the Vintage Emporium Collection.

Here's some close-ups.

I used some Celebr8 chipboard too, which is the flower and leaves chipboard pieces.
I coloured these with paints and inks.

I really love this photo of my dog Sally!
This was taken on a Sunday morning.....her little Sunday morning nap.
It really is a dog's life! ;-)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I really appreciate the comments.

Have a super evening!

Dad - Prima BAP

Hello Everyone

I hope that you had a good weekend! ;-)

We had a really chilly and wet weekend in Johannesburg and so it was a good opportunity to get some scrappy time in.

I haven't been able to play along with the Prima challenges for months and so thought it was a good time to try and play along.

Here's the sketch.

I recently got hold of the Vintage Emporium collection and I knew that it would be perfect for a vintage, masculine page.  So here's the result.

I loved playing with the background textures, stamping etc. and I am really happy with the result.

I kept the flowers to a minimum, since being a masculine page and don't think they make it too flowery.

I love the rusty, orange colouring in this paper and really wanted to bring it out more.

I even used some older bits of Prime pieces and was pleased that I was able to use from my stash.

This handsome man is my father.  He was probably around 20 here and he sure was very handsome and suave.  He is still handsome and at 70 plus years old, he is still amazing! ;-)

It has been ages since I last did a layout and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed creating this page.

I actually can't wait to get started on the next one.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I really appreciate your visits!
