Prima Marketing double page layout

 This was an act of love making this fun double page layout. I used everything I had laying around. 10 companies of products are on this page at least! It is of Passau, Germany where we just walked around the town and took in all of the fun shops and sites. The above pic is Cafe Simon and the heir to the company, Walter Simon. He was in the shop the day I returned. So on this day, I showed him my layout with his pic from my phone, of a previous layout and he was thrilled! So of course I then had another pic taken of him and myself. What a wonderful bakery and guy!! Hope to come back yet again. Delicious gingerbread!

This layout is one of an album from our Viking Grand European River Cruise.

Prima Marketing Urban Cosmos Hurricane Layout

 

Using Prima Urban Cosmos collection from 2007, I made this double layout about Hurricane Milton clean up in October 2024. The papers are Ethnic, Suburb, and Metro. I cut the Ethnic and Suburb into circles 1/2 inch different sizes with my Creative Memories Large circle maker using the blue blade and then tracing the inner circle and fussy cutting it out. I then ripped the edges and turned them up to add texture. I tore the remaining left over pieces to small slivers into strips to place where the other smaller pics were. I cut the title on my Cricut Explore using the Birthday Bash cartridge on Design Space. I glued it all together and very happy with it. Hoping to not have to do another hurricane layout for a while

Prima Marketing Annalee Layout from Sketch in Thyme blog

I love these papers and found them at a recent Scrapbook Garage Sale at The Scrapbook Studio in Tavares, FL. Such a cute shop and met such sweet ladies!! Yes these papers are a blast from the past and came with the flowers which were included. Loved working with all of the pretty colors to make this feminine layout. Products used: Prima Marketing Annalee, Fairy Flora and Flights of Fancy Collection papers. I fussy cut apart the borders and used 2 of those. Cut up all of the different papers as squares and layered and distress inked all of the edges of each and the larger 12x12 background too. Inks: Ranger Distress Walnut ink; Distress Oxides in Mermaid Lagoon and Raspberry Preserves with a blender tool. Also distress inked the flowers as well. 

Here's the Sketches in Thyme sketch #483

Prima Marketing Havana Flip Album

 This is a mini album I made using Prima Marketing Havana papers and chipboard, and a Teresa Collins Flip album in white. Some Bazzill cardstock papers were also used. Here is my front cover which includes fussy cutting pieces and a Melissa Frances keyhole along with more Prima Marketing products of flowers.

This page is actually a pocket and you can see the pink piece of paper peeking out of the fold. Great to add more photos and memorabilia. 

                                        Here I made an easy pocket page with tag and envelop tag.

                              

                                Several pages of pockets to add more photos and memorabilia. The bottom of the page is a ticket that was fussy cut from one of the papers and folded over to make a homemade tab for the page. I used these tickets throughout the album and really enjoyed using these rose gold foiled papers and pieces!! So gorgeous in person and the colors are a soft pastel coloring. Made working on this project fun and inspiring!

Am hoping to add travel photos to it when things open up so as to take a trip! Hope you enjoy the pages and it inspires you to make one despite not getting to go anywhere right now.

Cosmo Cricket Luxembourg Adventure

                             

We had an amazing Viking Cruise this summer. In fact, my advise for marriage is to travel and enjoy life together. It brings us joy and you feel the love from one another so much stronger. One of the places we visited was the city of Luxembourg. This layout shows some of the wonderful sights we saw in the old city center. I've been looking at all the places we traveled while on our Viking Cruise Paris to Swiss Alps, and remembering the happy times we had. I think one of the fun ways to re-experience or relive those moments once home is to scrapbook them and put them all together in an album.
Supplies: Old Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 papers with Prima Marketing Say it with bling-black. The adventure title is die cut from a Kaiser Craft die using my Spellbinders Platinum 6. Black cardstock, Fiskars 12 inch trimmer and scissors, and reverse twizzers were used.

Dusty Attic Fancy Frames Budapest Layout

  I really centered this layout around the gorgeous goodies from Dusty Attic in Australia. These included Fancy Frames #5; Wordpl@y #2 in black; and Memories title. I painted with Liquitex clear Gesso, and then with Plaid FolkArt in Gold. Wish I could get their Gesso but couldn't find it at my local store. Shucks!!!! Also used Canvas Corp Tattered Angels Turquoise Spray in Dragonfly for the Memories piece. Was the perfect shade!

Photo Details: These beautiful pictures are of the fabulous streets in Budapest that we walked all in one day/morning. The Gabor statue on the left page is one of their heroes that was a linguist. Beautiful work throughout the city but this is just some of them! The right page has St.Stephen's Cathedral, and other statues. It was a cold December morning with a clear blue sky! Great fun and walk!

Here's how I made this:
Using an EK Success retractable blade, I cut out the corset from the Bo Bunny Somewhere in Time Chrononaut paper. I used 2 of these sheets and saved the 2nd corset for another layout. ;)
After adhering a scrap of cardstock where I had removed it, I then used pop ups to add the dimension. Before placing it down, I added Ranger Gold Glitter stickles along the black lines. I also used liquid glue to adhere the string of pearls to the bottom. Also, tucked a piece of lace under the bottom edge as well. What fun is this gorgeous piece of paper!!!! Used Bo Bunny Memento from the same collection and a sticker as well.
   I used scraps of a Bazzill Cardstock in two shades of green turquoise and black to mat the pics using my 12" trimmer.
  I arranged all of the items until I liked it, and then started putting the tag together. Loved playing with the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Game Spinners as well the clock faces. What fun!
 I glued all down with Beacons 3 in 1 and it won't be moving.

Vienna Concert Layout

Again, using the Stuck?! Sketches other sketch, I used it for this double layout of the Concert we attended in Vienna on night. For this layout, I turned the sketch upside down and backwards. It allowed me to use the other sketch as well, somewhat for the right side layout. I turned it on it's side as you can see.

Photo story: We were treated to a Wiener Conzert of Mozart and Strass by the Wiener Residenzorchester. The Clarinet Concerto, which is also performed by the conductor, was a highlight of the program. The show leading up to it is delightfully amusing.

Supplies: Kaiser Craft Time Machine Gears and other papers that were still in my stash; Prima Marketing Tales of Me blossoms and other Prima flowers as well; vintage doily; seam binding; lace flowers; Queen and Co. music notes trim; Grey and brown cardstock.  I used my Cricut Explore to die cut the titles and used a combination of Blackletter cartridge and Old English Font with Bazzill Charcoal cardstock.
