So excited to be a part of this special blog hop!
Today, I have a couple of projects and a video to share with you...
........................................................................
Recently, I taught a class on Live with Prima, featuring a Coffee Cup Canvas album (by Donna Downey) and transformed it into a flower pot album, perfect for Mother's Day or a sweet friend of course! I used Gelatos to color and shade the canvas covers. Then used a variety of flowers, leaves, stems, notecards and Prima's Rosarian collection to make up the pages inside. This was so easy to create and it would make an adorable gift!
The Rosarian papers have fun, easy journal spots to cut out to use for the inside pages!
Check out the class here to see how it was created!
...................................................................................
Today, we are having an all day marathon of classes on Live with Prima in honor of (inter)National Scrapbook Day! Here is the class I will be teaching:
“Customize and Create” Journal with Cari Fennell
8:00am PT/ 11:00am ET/ 3:00pm GMT
This Prima journal is a wonderful book to alter and customize
to your heart’s content! Cari will go over some simple steps to show how you
can achieve a unique look by blending paints, layering papers, stenciling and
mix a variety of elements to customize the cover. She will also be using some
of Prima’s newest products such as Mechanical embellishments, resist canvas and
Sunrise Sunset papers. This book can be used to hold photos, to journal in, record
special occasions, etc…

Hi Cari,
I caught the coffee mug project and LOVED it. I'm going to check to see if the store in our city has it in stock. I also wanted to thank you for all you do for all of us crafters from around the world. I'm so glad that I found the Prima family. Happy International Scrapbooking Day!
Hi Cari,
I followed your tea/coffee cup the other night and just loved it. I'm going to head over to our scrapbook store here in the city and see if they have one.
I love your picture on this page. You're so beautiful in it. And I love the title of your blog - just me and my mary janes. So pretty.
And thanks so much for all you do with Prima. You can tell you love your job. As do the other instructors on the Prima channel. I feel like I'm adopted into a wonderful family when I watch the 'Prima' show.
