Often we associate Prima products with feminine layouts; however Kathie’s layout shows the versatility of Prima’s recent releases. She’s used a mix of Prima’s Pastiche and Shabby Chic papers to create a charming layout of her son playing in autumn leaves.
Kathie used the Donna Downey Tree foam stamp and decorated it with Pecan Calcutta Leaves to add an autumnal touch. One leaf falls gently to the Prima brown lace and hessian that add texture at the base of the layout. Stamping around the edge of the layout with Prima’s Chicken Wire stamp, a touch of paint and some distressed inking add a rustic hewn feel.
Suz has created a simple but pretty layout using one of the beautiful Prima Songbird Vines and ready made Pink Paislee ribbon pleats to just underline and underscore her photograph – the combination almost looks like a window box. She has also included Prima Chipboard Journalling Stickers which are not only beautifully printed but they’re glittered as well – the perfect finish for this girly page.
For this particular layout Louise has used the pattern of the Prima patterned cardstock to her creative advantage; using it to highlight both the pattern of the Hambly overlay, and her journaling.
For this particular layout Louise was looking to journal her thoughts a little differently than usual. So she has cut strips of Prima patterned cardstock, adhered them around the sides of the 12 x 12 bamboo natural texture paper, and then journalled along and on these strips.
Nicole isn't really a "bag" person, unless of course it's made from fabric!! She LOVES the Donna Downey canvas bags from Prima because they are literally a blank canvas waiting to be personalised to suit the owner.
In this instance, Nic cut and tore up squares of her favourite canvas fabric before going mad with as many masks, Glimmer Screens and diecuts she could get her hands on plus a few favourite colours of Glimmer Mist.
Once she was satisfied with the placement of her "patches" she sewed them onto the bag flap using a sewing machine, then added one of her favourite quotes by Dorothy Parker onto canvas patches using black Stazon and Heidi Swapp alphabet. The result is delcious layering of colour and a texture dying to be touched.
Nic also wanted to add that if you make one of these for yourself, use Vliesofix or Heat N Bond on the flap before you try and sew all the patches down!
Elise McKay, from Ningi Qld, has used a mixture of Prima’s Flights of Fancy, and Raspberry Tea collections in this next page. If you look closely, you’ll notice that she’s cut around the rose pattern at the base of her patterned paper to form a very effective photo corner. She’s then further embellished it with flowers, hand cut butterflies and chipboard journaling stickers. The addition of hand stitching really draws attention to the butterfly in the photograph. Beautiful page Elise!
This layout, by Yuka Hino of Japan, is pure girly confectionary. Delightful feminine touches make this one of the prettiest layouts Kathie had seen in a long while. Huka has used the delicate spotted papers from the Flights of Fancy collection to form the basis of her layout, then added some crimped coordinating paper and a range of floral embellishments. We're delighted that we could share this layout with you today.
Robin Schelin, Las Vegas, created this next layout using a combination of Prima’s Pastiche and Strawberry Kisses collection. The touch of lace, distressing and tiny letter stickers lend a real vintage feel to the layout, and we love the large flower embellishment that replicates the rose Robin’s grand daughter is smelling in the photo.
