'You are my Anchor' using Prima's 'French Riviera'

Can you believe it!!,...? Another post from me already... :-)

Today I have made another page with the French Riviera collection. 

I used an older photo of my two youngest daughters that was laying on my desk. 

We actually have some gorgeous beaches here up north, shame the temperature does nothing 

to make me want to go there,....

The pretty flowers I used are mainly by Prima from the Cartographer collection. 

I decided they were a great match for my theme. The small daisies are from Bedtime Stories.

I actually mixed in some paper from 'Tales of You & Me', between the layers. I wanted to 

experiment and see what that would look like....

 I love the look of the Art Stones that I coloured with Blue Fern Studios mist 'Sky'.

Those die cut leaves are so darn pretty!!

Another close up of the layering and decorations.

This photo was taken a few years back. I have a feeling the girls will probably protest that they don't look their best. You know: 'hair is messy' etc etc,..but to me they always look like princesses :-D

Well done for getting this far,... Only one more close up and I'm done,...LOL!

Actually, I like it when I visit a blog and there are many pictures of the details. 

I feel I can get a closer look at the page, almost as if I were there. 

What do you thnk? Do you like to look at close ups on your blog round?

I will enter this page into the April challenge over at Let's Get Sketchy.

Here's the sketch:

Thank you so much for visiting today. I hope you have a nice and restful week end <3

Hugs!

'Sweet Summer Memories' using Prima's French Riviera collection.

Another page from me in less than a week.... 

Now that I have more time for scrapbooking I hope to have something scrap related to share on a more regular basis. I am using some of my new supplies and having a lot of fun. Do you remember the other day I told you I was working on a page using the new Prima collection 'French Riviera', 

well here it is:

I picked the pretty woodboard paper and played with some mixed media supplies on top. 

I used an older photo that was actually taken in Provence (where we have spent so many Summers over the years). This one was taken at least four years ago...

Here is a photo strip sharing my process:

1.Painting my flowers with some blue mist. 

2. Painting my doilies

3. The bare basics, page setup before adding photo and embellishments.

I used my Prima metal dies for the doilies and the leaves. I dyed the doilies using different mists and sprays (Blue Fern Sky, Prima color Bloom and another one from my stash I dont know the name of)

I used chipboard fromm Blue Fern Studios for a bit of extra texture. 

This one is called Quatrefoil Panel and I only used a piece of it.

I love the look of Fainnabair's gold mica flakes. They are so shiny and pretty and add 

a lot to the page. I even used some Finnabair Art Ingredients clear glass beads.  

I added them both to the Ingvild Bolme resin frame and inside the chipboard design.

I added a couple of yellow flowers from my stash to echo my DD's yellow shirt. The fabric flowers were part of a glorious RAK from my dear friend Eila, one of the nicest ladies in scrapbooking.

This is quite a layered page as you can see from this view. I used thick cardboard 

between the layers of paper and between the photo and photo mat as well.

That's all for today. Thanks for dropping by and for any comments you leave me. 

I hope you enjoy the rest of the week end!!
