Prima Product Pick Challenge for May 2015

Haha!

So I *normally* do the Build a Page challenge, and I still might, but today I bring to you my entry for the Prima Product Pick challenge!

The inspiration photo was:

- Prima Color Bloom Spray (Summer Sky)
- Prima Color Bloom Spray (Yellow Mustard)

Tube Thursday, First Edition

This week, for Tube Tuesday, I chose a video from someone to whom I'm subscribed that shared her ATC cards that she made with us.

The ATCs she made really caught my attention because of how she made the background! Take a look at the video and you'll see what I mean. :)

If I had been at home while watching her video, I would have pulled out my glue gun and tried to recreate this look! There's so many things we can learn from one another by watching each other's project shares, and I really do love that about Youtube. :)

I hope you've been inspired to try something new with you're already owned products!

Botanical Tea ATCs to share with you!

So, a couple weeks ago, I posted about being super lucky at winning Graphic 45's Mother's Day contest on Facebook here.

Well, I went to New York city a couple weekends ago, and when I came back, I was really hurting for lack of crafting. Don't get me wrong, NYC is a great place in which to be a tourist, but I lacked craftiness so bad, I bought a small mixed media pad, and some basic colours of paint on my second last day there. Lol
YEP, I really needed to get crafty. :P

Anyway, once I came back, I got to fussy cutting a bunch of the sheets of the pad that I had won from Graphic 45 because I thought I'd consider that pad of paper my fussy cutting pad. :) Well, if you take a look at what I won, I also won a pack of the ATC sized tags.

I love making ATCs. And with all the little fussy cut pieces, I decided to get to work on making some Botanical Tea inspired ATC cards! I also posted a photo to the Graphic 45 Facebook page, but here it is again in case, you're not a follower of theirs. :)

I had a blast making them, and I really enjoyed their shape!  I've never made an ATC with these shapes before! I think I'll be posting a video of them soon, but not sure when. If I do, I'll try to remember to link it here on this blog post. :)

Thanks for dropping by!

Check out some recent projects!

Well, there's no time like the present to share some of my recent projects!!

This is an altered spool - The spool was made with two round coasters and a toilet paper roll as the base, and embellished like nobody's business. :) It was created for a love themed spool swap and I hope my partner enjoys it! I've really loved making altered spools recently!

This is an altered letter J that I also made for a swap - My partner let me know that her colours of choice were black, white and red... Which I incorporated with this project!

This is a set of tone-on-tone ATC cards that I created for a swap... Pretty much all my projects are made for swaps, and I find that swaps really push me to try something new. I tend to sign up for swaps I've either never done before, or that I know I need to do to replenish stock - Like altered flower swaps for example.

These are itty bitty mini albums I'm in the process of making at this moment. I hope to come back with a proper post on these since I'm REALLY enjoying making these. Using so many new techniques and fun ways of embellishing! :D

The fact that you took the time to stop by warms me to bits!
Feel free to ask any questions you may have about any of these projects!
