Happy Queen's Birthday Weekend!!

I hope you are all having a lovely long Queen's Birthday weekend. I have my Design Team kit at the mo, so am busy creating, which is a nice way to spend the weekend. There is a lot happening over at Scrappin' Patch, so if you have some time this weekend, come on over and check it out.

First up today, I have some layouts I created using a gorgeous flocked 7 Gypsies paper - Jai from the shop.

Now, as you may have noticed, this is quite an unusual page for me, but I really wanted the focus on the journalling rather than the photo. I used a strip of the paper as a piece of ribbon. Oh, and the cute butterfly is from an Amy Butler sheet of die-cut butterflies available in the shop, along with some Graphite Glimmermist.

On the page above, I used a photo I love of my sisters and all our kids, and another piece of the Jai flocked paper, out of which I handcut the flourish/flowers. I also used the following products from the shop: Basic Grey Urban Prairie Paper: Kettle, Making Memories Tiny Alphas: White on Black (sold out, but other colours available), Kaisercraft Bling: black, and Tattered Angels Glimmermist: Graphite.

Click here to see what Heidi and Annelie did with their different flocked papers. Very cool!

Also at the Scrappin' Patch forum, we are having inspiration and challenges all weekend relating to the Queen's Birthday. Heidi's challenge is to create a layout about your little Prince or Princess - here is my take on the challenge:

Very pink!! I love the new Prima Vines, and the papers - Collage Press Sweet Shoppe - Chocoholic (backside), Basic Grey Bittersweet - Essence and Truffle, Websters Storytellers letter stickers - Magical, Fiskars Border Punch - Apron Lace, and Melissa Francis crown are all available in the shop. So come join in the fun.

Ok, so it's getting late now and I still have more DT stuff to work on. Keep your eye out for my next projects using some of the Prima papers in the shop...
