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:
