Layout & Tag for Imaginarium Designs

Hi everyone,

I challenged myself to use some older papers in my stash well that didn't work out *grin*...I found myself using newer stuff!

I also wanted to show you my little crafting space where I make all of my work, I will start with my layout, where I used "Postcards from Paris II" by Webster's Pages.

The pictures are from my nieces where I was last week to celebrate the oldest her birthday, they are such pretty models don't you think so??

The Girls:

The flowers are handmade by me with some pretty fabric a bought on the weekly market.

Maybe you all know I also design for Tresors de Luxe so all the pretty lace I used are their's!

On the chipboard I used all different colors of paint, pearlescents & embossing powders.

Let's look a little closer:

I love those little peacock feathers they are way cute

First I painted the feathers with white paint then I used some BoBunny pearlescents Island Mist &Butterscotch on the centers, in the end I used some white embossing powder to finish it of.

I also used some Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays {Orange Creamside & Shabby Turbine Teal}on my chipboard and background of my layout!

chipboard used:

Now I will show you my craft space, we split the room in two parts one is for my husbands hobby he has a DJ set he loves to play on! The other half is mine, my sweety build me a hugh scrapbook paper cabinet where I can stash my papers.

The pictures where taken at night time so they are not that sharp & of good quality!!

Hope you all like my space & here is my tag

Always Smile:

Let's look a little closer:

I hope I inspired you to used your Imaginarium Designs chipboard and create something beautiful.

Mix & Match cards for BoBunny {social media post}

Hi everyone,

Today I would like to show you two cards I made for BoBunny as a social media post! Maybe you've seen my cards come by on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or even Scrapbook.com last week??

Now I will show you them on my blog!

It's A Girl:

I love layering & combining different collections.

My brothers friend just had a baby girl with that in mind I made this card.

I made this card from all scraps {leftover papers} that's a fun way to use up all your beautiful BoBunny papers I might say!

BoBunny papers used: Pincushion, The Avenues, Primrose & Baby Bump

The flowers is handmade.

Let's have a closer look:

I love it when all the pink goes so well together!!

Now for my second card I used the NEW mixed media products I received in my last DT package!

I'm very thrilled about all of it, there are Spray's, Stickable Stencils, Glitter Pasts, Pearlescents & gorgeous new stamps.

I made a different shape card then I normally do.

Happy Day:

Oh my what a fun I had creating this card and in the end the card put a smile on my face!

I hope it does on yours too......

First I combined: Somewhere In Time, The Avenues & Happy Trails together.

Then I kept it very simple.

Let's have a closer look:

Thank you so much for taking a peak & I wish you all a blessed and healthy week!

I've been dealing with a hugh cold blehhh
