MOMENTS...Prima Day! 52

Hi there! Today on the Prima blog, we are all celebrating Prima Day! A day filled with TONS of inspiration just for you! So grab your paper, flowers, and glue and have some fun with us as we travel around the world. Many of the design team members are showcasing newly created projects on their social media, so join the fun, hop around, and be inspired!

We were asked to create a tag featuring a fabulous Relics and Artifacts item.  I chose to feature a small statue from the Archival Cast Milagros set.

I combined a variety of items such as: Cling Stamps, Mica Powders, Glass Beads and Vintage Trinkets:

Thanks so much for stopping by! Please be sure to stop by the Prima blog for additional inspiration!

Sweet...Guest Designing 28

Hi there! Today I have another project to share as a guest designer for Gina's Designs. In case you missed my post from last week HERE, every Wednesday during the month of October, I am honored and grateful to have been invited to join along as a guest designer on the Gina's Designs blog (click HERE) showcasing some of her amazing chipboard products that may be found in the Gina's Designs online store (click HERE).

Today I have a layout to share featuring a photo of dear Meredith along with my sweet boy Griffin surrounded with a variety of beautiful chipboard designs including: Mini Flourishes Bella, Words and Phrases 2, Flourished Circle Frames Large:

I wanted to make the chipboard designs pop, so I applied vintage cream embossing enamel to all the Mini Flourishes Bella and the Flourished Circle Large Frame:

and black embossing enamel to Words and Phrases 2 title "Sweet":

For theme inspiration, I'm joining along with the current 7 Dots Studio challenge where the theme is: "Frame It". I used pretty paper from the 7 Dots Studio Thoughts Keeper collection.
