Prima Flirty Fleur

I love Prima products and today I have a layout using Prima's Flirty Fleur collection. The picture is of me on my wedding day over 40 years ago, The original pictures have yellowed, so I decided to make it black and white. And I think it pairs with Flirty Fleur nicely. I added lace and pearls and lots of prima flowers. Some were originally white and I sprayed them with teal Color Bloom from Prima. There's a bit of gesso on the flowers including the wooden flowers. Flower centers were from my stash. There's a chipboard dress form from Dusty Attic. I think I added everything but the kitchen sink! But it was fun. Here's the layout:

I hope it inspires you.

Thank you for stopping by.

Valentine's Day and Cricut

Today I have a few simple Valentine's Day cards to show you. I made them with my Cricut maker and they are very easy to make. I didn't want the traditional square card. I still have shaped cards that my grandmother would send me for Easter. Some are crosses and some are eggs. I still love them. So now I am starting the same tradition with my grandchildren. I shared what I used in design space, so if you like what you see, head on over to design space and type in my name. Here they are:

They are for my grandchildren and I know they will be thrilled to get them! That's all for now.

Thanks for stopping by!

Let it Bee Tag Set

 If you saw my previous post, I created a scrapbook page with the beautiful "Let It Bee" collection by Graphic 45. Today I have a tag set to show you using that very same collection. 

For the first tag, I did a lot of fussing cutting to cut out the sunflower and beehive from the cards in the collection. I cut strips of paper and glued to the top and bottom of the tag. Added a few stickers and a flower and I loved how it turned out! 

For the second tag, I again cut strips of paper and adhered to the top and bottom of the tag. I used some chipboard from my stash and painted it black. I used stickers from the collection and popped out the center using pop dots. Added a few flowers from my stash and it was finished.

For the third tag I used a circle I had leftover from the layout in the previous post. It's the circle from the center of the flower that is on top of the photo. Anyway I put most of it on one side, and with what was left, I tucked under on the other side. I punched a strip and then cut it into pieces and glued to the circles. I cut the "Don' Worry Bee Happy" from one of the cards, added a backing and glued to the tag. Add a few flowers and your done.

 

For the last tag, I wanted to add a banner. I fussy cut it. Then added strip of paper. Layered a sticker, added a flower and it was super easy and cute!

I still have more paper from this collection, so there may be more Let It Bee coming! Well that's all for now folks! 

Blessings,

Bee Yourself

If you love Graphic 45 paper collections, then the "Let it Bee" collection will not disappoint. I knew I had the perfect photo for this collection and I think it turned out great.

For the red frame I used my Fiskars paper trimmer which has measurements on the sliding bar. I cut from 1 1/2 inches to 10 1/2 inches all the way around.

I punched 12 inch strips and glued them on the inside of the frame so that only the punched shape shows. I mitered the corners of the punched strips with scissors. 

The bee hive chipboard is an old one from Dusty Attic. The flower chipboard, also old, was made by Scenic Route. I used Nuvo's Ebony black for the pearls on the Chipboard flower.

 Other supplies used include: 

 Scissors Xyron Mega Runner 

Art Glitter glue 

Smaller sunflowers from Dollar Tree 

Glue Dots 

Distress Ink Vintage photo 

 Thank you for stopping by and please stop by again. I am working on tags from this same collection. I would love to share them with you.
