Mwah...Prima BAP & B71B

Happy Monday!!!  Today I'm sharing with you a page that I made using the February-Prima BAP and playing with the Feb-mix media challenge at Berry71Bleu.  I worked with papers from four different collections by Prima here.  My days are very relax now, I'm starting to enjoy this new step in my life so this is about my page... and I express my feelings with these lovely colors and all the good things that are happening in my life are being represented by all these layers... and the photo...well I was playing with my camera while hubby was driving the other day and I took it myself, just for fun.
 
This is one of my favorites flowers from Prima, it's like straw and I painted it.

Some fussy cutting from the Songbird collection.

I worked the background with a Prima- stencil & stamp, molding paste, paints, chalk inks, distress inks and gesso.

Supplies: Sonbird , Fairy Belle, Romantique and Printery collections , mask, flowers, leaves, wood embellishments, chalk inks, stamp by Prima.


I looove this sketch....

You make me smile...

Hello!!! Today I show you this page that I made with different Maja Design collections, the wonderful about MD papers is that you can mix and match their collection very well...  I worked this layout with lot of layers and textures. I took this photo to my DD and hubby with my cell phone the other day after school and work, they were relaxed but tired after a long day. I combined my DT work with the February challenge at Once Upon an Sketch and I was inspired by Nadia' sketch although at the end...I added a second photo.

 

I started to cut stripes with different Maja Design papers, distressed them and made layers weaving the stripes.
 

In my background I used a Prima stencil and homemade molding paste. Some washi tape, stamps, beats, pearls, buttons and paints.


Prima flowers and I used a Tim Holtz film die cut.

I made some fussy cutting with the Maja paper...  air hot balloon


The journaling this month at OUAS is..."totally addicted to..." and my journaling is in a tag behind the photo.  "Well after my move all are changing for me...,  now that I'm not working my life revolves around you two.   I'm completely addicted to you... Love You" February-2014

Hello !! How are you?..I missed all of you.  I've been missing in action these last weeks, my things arrived and I've been very busy unpacking and organizing all here, so I made a stop with my hobby and disconnected from blogland for a while, I almost settle down so I'ts time to resume... I have many projects to show you in the next days.

1- Sweetheart page

My first page is about my lovely niece Fabiola and I'm using the stickers, diecuts and Prima flowers from the kit.

2- CUTE
For my second page I made a textured background and used this die cut paper from the kit, stay tuned to the blog that I have a step by step tutorial about this page. Here's my DD Paola, I took this photo with my cellphone in a shopping mall here in NC.
