Prima Marketing Inc Forever Green Botanical Journal

Namaste Guys

Prima Forever Green Revisited!!! This paper collection has a special place in my heart. I love this collection and its so so me!!

I had only scraps left one sheet of A4 that I used on the cover and a few 6 by 6 , a full pack of the 3 by 4 ATC and a few pieces of the ephemera. I wanted to create a special little book which would be a beautiful keepsake and a pleasant reminder of this awesome paper line... Also it was a challenge to myself to use up scrap and to remind myself you can create with very little supplies.

Tons of fussy cutting and loads of foam tape later this is what i created. its by 6 with 6 pages.

Hope you guys like it

Around the World with 80 Artists Entry

Namaste Guys

I am so happy, so honoured and so thrilled!! For My entry is being Published in the beautiful artistic and nobel endeavour " Around the World with 80 Artists"

About the Book

Around the World with 80 Artists is an arts and crafts book like nothing you’ve seen before. We have 80 artists from all over the world contributing to this amazing creativity book. You will find information for the beginner to intermediate to the advanced crafter and artist, but most of all you’ll be able to see that creativity is something that holds this earth together and brings us all closer together.

We will be publishing this book on Amazon as a free e-book but are also launching a Kickstarter for this book and you can choose the more beautifully laid out versions of the book as a printed copy or a pdf as well! The projects will range from coloring pages to mixed media to scrapbooking, card making, cut and create and much much more!

20% of the proceeds from this project will go to The Malala Fund to help girls gain an education.

Through this book we will introduce you to many various art techniques, many countries of the world and many creative folk who love to use their right brain. The range and depth of arts and crafts projects is something that has surprised me. As I receive more entries every day I am astounded at the variety of things that will be in this book and quite frankly I can’t wait to print out my copy too!

The reason I came up with this project is the fact that we see more and more hate make it’s way around the world. We read about terrible things in the news and at times we forget how beautiful this world is. This book is an attempt to highlight the theme of creativity around the world. You’ll be meeting so many new artists and creative folk who have all come together to work on one project with love and creativity flowing in from many different countries of the world.

20% of the proceeds from this project will go to The Malala Fund to help girls gain an education. Girls who might otherwise not get their chance at a basic human right.

As with all my Kindle books you can always sign up to get them for FREE. I release a lot of books and hate putting a price on creativity so the books are always free for some time before they go to the paid category. Sign up above to get a FREE copy of this book at launch on Amazon on May 25th 2016.

Tradewinds Masculine Mini Album

Namaste guys

I used the Tradewinds collection from DCWV, and created a Masculine theme style mini Album.

Its 6" by 6" and has 6 pages 12 pages front and back and each page is also a pocket that holds a tag.

I love creating frames for the cover and added lots of flowers to compliment the blue I used yellow ones, its a different approach but I thought it looks amazing.

I love adding charms to the spines of my albums, so here too I added a charm dangler with a variety of charms.

The album has a lot of flaps and interactive elements.

Prima Design Team Audition 2015

Namaste Guys

Tibetan Buddhist mantra - Om Mane Padme Hum - Hail to the Jewel in the Lotus - meaning that you try to find the best within your self and work to always uncover it in your life - compassion, peace, living in the moment.

When I saw Prima Is my favorite brand in the whole wide world. The paper collections are so beautifully designed that it is easy to come up with ideas for projects. I love to create different and unique projects each time.

I have created three projects for the Prima Design Team Audition 2015. I have tried to Focus on my Strengths and showcase variety in terms of work, definition and skill.

Project No #1
Chic Handbag using Prima Bella Rouge

I love to draw inspiration from things around me and it brings me great joy to be able  to recreate objects and things especially if they are vintage. For this project I have created a handbag that is also a mini album. To complete the look of the handbag I have used actual bag handles and magnetic bag closure. Using metal embellishments to accent the bag. Te front and back cover have large pockets that have goodies in them.

Watch the Video Flip through of the whole project here, the video contains description as well.

I created a charm dangle with a lot of girly charms and hung them from one of the handles. The Bag handles have been attached with red velvet Ribbon and anchored with brads. The cover has been wrapped in Red satin fabric to give a look of sophistication. 

Project No #2

Paris Travel Junk Journal

I love to travel and I love creating Travel journals it is a passion that drives me to create something new each time for each of my trips.  I create a journal to take with me on my trip, I write in it, I add Polaroid photos, I save everything I get like tickets, bills and brochures and i glue then down and tuck into the pockets. 

Going to Paris is a life long dream!  Therefore the Paris inspired Paper collection " The Archivist " inspired me to create a Travel journal for when I do go to Paris.  It has 9 signatures and over 30 individual pages.  There are envelopes that I created from scratch incorporated into the journal for added real estate.  I have pages to write on or to draw as well.

The journal measures 9"x6" and 4 " wide spine, it is constructed with cardstock and chipboard. I loved using the vintage papers, the designs and color schemes are absolutely perfect.
I have designed the first signature to contain the itinerary and the tickets and other documents and details about the hotel and agent information etc. The next seven signatures are all similar each dedicated day wise for a week long trip. 

 

 

Project No # 3

Vintage Inspired Telescope

I have created a vintage inspired Telescope, with a retractable body.  Using the really amazing paper collection called " The Archivist". The entire project was created from scratch using kitchen paper roll tubes. 

The telescope when closed is 12" and when expanded its 22" . I wanted to mimic the retracting motion of the telescope tubes. I used the pattern paper to accent the telescope. Loved creating this project, I was tinkering with this idea for a while, to see it in actuality. 
This was fun project to put together the trick was to find a couple of tubes that fit 

I hope you enjoyed my creations and I hope you will visit again.

Thank you for stopping by.
