Happy Friday everyone! We have some wonderful layouts to share with you today, as well as some of our gorgeous flowers. We love seeing the variety of styles in our Design Team's work and we hope that they inspire each one of you. 

............................................................................

This enchanting page was artistically assembled by Stacey Young. She uses a variety of Prima embellishments to design her layers. Here is what she said about creating her page...

"I love working with flowers, layering them, altering them. My layout started out with the metal fence. I wanted it to look like the fence was open and you were stepping into my garden. I wrapped and twisted a vine around the fence and layered the flowers underneath and up my page. I choose flowers in coordinating colours to match the Pixie Glen line I used. The new flowers worked perfectly with this range. That is what I love about Prima, you can mix and match everything from all different collections and releases!"

Trina McClune created this fresh crisp design. Her scrapbook page is full of flowers that trail across the page creating the perfect nest for her photos. Here are a few tip from Trina on how she created her page...

Tips:

• Like Karola, I created a base of flat flowers for my LO. I used some of an ‘Essentials’ packets and still have a ton left over!!!!
• Cut your vines up to spread through your LO more.
• Cut the stems off the Charme Roses and then twirl them on an awl to make ‘tendrils’ to put in spaces that need filling.
• The tiny Flutter Bits butterflies are perfect to add further dimension and interest to a LO.

...............................................................

Anna Dabrowska created this fun, joyful layout. Here is what she has to say about how she finds the Doodle-Deux collection inspiring. 

The Doodel Deux collection is full of good emotions, color, and fun! I loved this optimistic collection from first sight - bold design, interesting color palette - it made my want to play and try something light and energetic. To create the background for this layout I used my set of PanPastels and a mask with pattern of simple circles and some paint, which was splashed randomly on the plain white background. Wonderful Doodle Deux chipboards helped me to build dimension and stamps - to add some "extra touch" to this scrapbook page. I was also positively surprised how nicely these colors go with  the color of natural canvas banners - cute little embellishments from Donna Downey
collection!

Supplies

• Item# 843991 - Doodle Deux Collection Alpha-Bytes
• Item# 843939 - Doodle Deux Collection Two-By-Two
• Item# 554798 - Journaling Chipboard Doodle Deux
• Item# 555184 - Cling Mount Stamps Doodle Deux
• Item# 921927 - Canvas Banner

Trudi Harrison has brought us this die-cut masterpiece. she uses the chipboard pieces to help accent her page. 

I had lots of fun with die cutting and circles. Chipboard pieces and some hand cut flowers from a note card highlight the photos. The hand cut elements and photos were attached with foam tape to add dimension.

One of the mid-release collection we have released this month is the Yuki Collection. This joyful, girlie line is just waiting to be designed with. It's happy little girls and perfect pets want to grace your scrapbook pages.

 

Here are a few pages that show how fun this line truly is! 

...............................................................

Stacy Cohen has designed this beautiful layout using the new Yuki collection. She uses the patterned papers to draw your attention across the page. Her cluster of flowers in the center of the page draws your eye to her wonderful garden photos. Here is a little bit from Stacy on working with yuki collection.

I just adore the bright, happy colors and patterns of the new Yuki collection. I thought these cheerful papers would be perfect for a layout showcasing photos of my daughter planting flowers in the spring. I added one of Prima’s lovely mid-release butterflies.

Anne Jo Lexander combines two of our mid-releases to create this charming page. She combines the colors of the Doodle-Deux and Yuki collections with ease. Here is how Anne Jo felt about using the inspiring collection.

I love how both the Yuki and the Doodle Deux collection can be mixed with great results! Here I used the Doodle Deux collection as an contrasting accent, and let the Yuki papers take main stage.  And spot that little flower stamp on the little tag-pennant? Comes from my favorite Yuki stamp set!

Here is a little bit from Heidi Kelley about how she came, to design this artistic canvas: As an artist, when I look at my daughters, I am sometimes thrown into a world of whimsy. I see them sitting in gardens, catching butterflies, with flowers pinned all haphazardly in their hair. That was the inspiration behind this canvas. I love to layer my daughters hair within projects, to create the true essence of what I see on a daily basis, and then add all the magic in with flowers, bits and baubles. Using the little Charme Roses from Prima works perfectly for this! I can layer them, slide them under locks of hair, and combine different colors for a beautiful and not-overwhelming-the-photo kind of way!

Happy Monday everyone. We hope you all had a wonderful Easter holiday weekend. Today to start off a new week we would like to share with you a informative flower feature by Marie-Nicolas Alliot. She gives you some tips when using Prima's larger flowers. 

................................................................................

It may not always be easy to find that perfect spot for those larger flowers. Especially if you like a more clean look like I do. Here's an idea to put flowers on a page by adjusting volume and simplicity. 

Alter your background with inks, sprays, or Panpastels to your liking. Place the patterned papers on your page that you would like under the photo mat paper and out line the placement of your photo mat piece with a pencil.

Lift the photo mat paper piece away. Then place your Prima flowers so that they will ultimately be partially under your photo mat paper. This will allow you to use the large flowers without them over powering your page. 

To finish your page use 3D foam squares to add your photo mat and photo. Add finishing touches with stamps and a glittery title.
