Prima page in a flash!

My valuable scrapping time seems to be less and less these days so I'm loving these stitched pages by Prima. Half of the work is already done for you- just find a kit to match your picture and you're done. Okay, so that might be exaggerating a little but it is much better than trying to thread a sewing machine myself!

Check out this spectacular kit!

Prima~ Stitched Page~ Deluxe Scrapbook Page Kit~ pink~

I just cut out the center square, placed the picture behind and then embellished to my liking!

I adore the bejeweled leaf in the kit! For the letters I took some of my clear acrylic letters and coated them with Tim Holtz's Rock Candy crackle paint and then accented the title mat with Rock Candy Stickles. Brrrr.... almost feels like ice!

Enjoy your snow days!

Here a Prima, There a Prima

How fitting that it's a Prima declared week here at Lil' Lambs Boutique. I just happened to finish up this Blue Stitched Prima Deluxe kit this week. I love the stitched background pages because it means less work for me.

This Prima kit was a perfect choice for this picture of my daughter with her beloved Dandelion (I know, I don't get it either). The yellow flowers in the kit were the perfect pop of color for the rest of the page. I haven't mentioned this yet but I really enjoy the Alpha Stickers. They come in quite handy when you want to have a longer title that you don't really want to cut out.

Instead of the usual Stickles centers I put on most flowers, I decided to snip a bit of the blue velvet trim and stick it under the clear pebble...wha-la, instant blue center. I also folded down a third of the platinum flower to create a smaller corner border for my photograph.

Here's a closer picture of that gorgeous lace trim. It always reminds me of the tablecloths my Great Grandmother had and we kids were never allowed to eat on.

Don't forget to take time for the small things this Christmas season!

I've declared this week...Prima week!

Well, it seems on my last scrap session I kept grabbing for my beloved Prima kits so that's what you'll be seeing this week. Hope you don't mind! ;-)

The first featured kit is this one:

Prima~Artful Cardboard Page/Layout Paper Kit 3

I love playing with the cardboard and the printed design reminded me of the gorgeous blues of the ocean and the coral you find there--- so that is what it became.

More Prima to come....

Have a great week!

Webster's Pages ~ Winter Wings Deluxe Kit

If you haven't taken a look at the Winter Wings Deluxe Kit, well you should. This kit is packed chock full of Christmas goodies. Below, I have 3 different types of projects I created.

First up, I used the Bay Window MDF that ws included and created this Christmas gift. The Winter Wings paper have so many great border elements that can be cut down to size to fit the edges of the panels.

If you'll notice, I cut apart the gold flutter vine and added parts to each panel and used some of the leftover on my Christmas tag below.

Once you finish your Bay Window project, there are still plenty of leftovers to create some other things. I chose to use more of the fabulous patterns on the paper, the beautiful trim and flowers to create a card to go with the gift and a couple of Christmas tags.

Hurry, you still have some time left to get some Christmas gifts made.

Tis' the Season!

So get busy and get crafty, making all of those beautiful gifts for the special people in your life. We still have lots of Christmas kits available to make your gift giving a breeze!

This kit with gorgeous Fancy Pants Designs paper includes a Kaisercraft album that would make a beautiful gift or you can even split up the album and make ornaments!

Cheryl will be sharing her creation with this Webster's Pages kit soon. You won't want to miss it- check back soon!

BoBunny released two Christmas lines this year. Both are fabulous and fun!

So you want something besides red and green with a more festive feel? Cosmo Crickets "Jolly by Golly" kit is for just for you!

And I adore Little Yellow Bicycles new album kits... put away your craft knife... they've made it so simple with paper that is pre cut to perfectly match the shaped album. Everything coordinates so that you will have this album finished in a flash but it will look like you've worked for weeks on it!

Now, let's say goodbye to fall and start decking the halls.

Are you ready to find out the winner of Cheryl's Fall Challenge? We have two winners!! All of these kits have put me in a festive mood! ;)

Tracey (PictureJunkie)and MonaLisa email me and I'll send you your prizes!
