Guest Designing for the Color Room...

Hey everyone!

Sorry I have been away so long! I have been really busy with work--Live with Prima is doing so well and keeping me super busy! I have new stores joining the list, the designers have been amazing to work with and last but not least..I am loving the chats with all of our viewers/friends...they are so fun to hang with during the shows! If you haven't gone to a live show-go to the website to see what it's all about! The schedule is listed with project photos and the site is a wealth of information regarding the webcasts...

Here is what else I have been up to:

Prima is sponsoring the Color Room this month and I have been asked to create some work using their color palettes and sketches. If you haven't been to this site-you need to check it out! It's one of the very best challenge sites out there, with an amazing design team, a great community, gorgeous palettes and amazing sketches to get your mojo working!

Here is a link to the site: http://thecolorroom.ning.com/

I am telling you---you are going to love it there!

This is the palette and sketch I worked with. The color combination is awesome! I loved working with it and I wanted to share my creation....

OK-so here is my take on it. I used a photo of my nieces-they are amazing girls-and I layered Prima papers with old book pages. I inked all of the edges using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and my Distresser from Tonic.

I even inked the edges of my photo...

The orange Cabachon lace was toned down with some TA Wheatfields Glimmer Mist and then stapled along side the photo/journaling area.

All of the flowers are layered together, including some Prima Rose trim. I used Sculptured flower centers, tiny velvet flowers (from the Aire Collection) and page pebbles to sprinkle around the flower clusters (and also, in the flower centers themselves).

I used a Tim Holtz die for the journaling area and I slipped one behind the photo too. I just love that die-thanks Tim..:) And do you see the sweet little fairy rub on peeking out from around the flowers? I love adding fun little elements like that to my pages.....

So that is all for now! I am working on another layout to share on the Color Room at the end of this month. I am totally hooked on that place! I will share as soon as it's posted!

And I promise not be gone so long again! Thanks for stopping by!
