New Designs with AnnaMarie

Hi everyone! AnnaMarie Mondro here, and happy to be back hosting the blog! Hope you are all transitioning well to the month of September! :) Not only will I be celebrating a birthday in two days (!), but I also have three out of four kidlets back to school (including a new Kindergartener - sniff sniff! :-P) 

 

My littlest guy still keeps me pretty busy outside of naptime and bedtime (!), but I am finally getting a chance to catch up a bit with older photos waiting to be scrapped - it is such a treat to revisit those special moments! You have one of those piles too right?? Or is it just me?! LOL! :)

 

The first layout I would like to share with you today is one I created for the September Prima Product Pick (and Palette) - you can view the gorgeous earthy colors here, and don't forget that if you play along this month, you can submit your layout to Prima (should feature either those products OR colors), and get a chance to win your own pretty Prima package! :)

Additional details, including deadline and e-mail address for submission, can be found on the Prima blog - hope you find time to play along with us this month! :) I was so very inspired by the *gorgeous* browns of this palette - it just screams fall (my *favorite* season btw!) :)) Combined with these wonderful older photos of my Sophie taken by my friend Kate J., this layout came together rather nicely - such a nice warm palette of browns!

I find that my Tattered Angels Creme de Chocolat Glimmer Mist showcases beautifully on both the corrugated cardboard base and the Prima Resistant Canvas. :)

And don't you just love the subtle shimmer to these gorgeous Splendor leaves?? And aren't those wooden toggles so ding-dang CUTE?! :)

I also used my Tattered Angels Creme de Chocolat Glimmer Mist on the Shabby Chic Resin pieces to give them a bit of a more aged look - just spray lightly and blot once or twice with a dry cloth...gives a bit more depth in color without changing it too drastically! You can also spray the mist on any of the Flaxence linen flowers like I did below, if the color you have isn't quite the shade of brown you need. ;)

And now onto my second layout. :) Obviously I am feeling a wee bit melancholy :-P as I look back on the pics taken over the summer, because the photos I chose to showcase on my layout below have me feeling just a teensy bit sad about how my littlest is not such a baby anymore (boo hiss LOL! :-P) I was really struck by this reality at my dad's house on the lake as he showed his independent explorer side :) and only looked back periodically to make sure I was still there. :-P They grow up too fast! :)

I think it's fairly safe to assume that I absolutely adore the Shabby Chic Resin pieces, as well as the Amore heart and Antique Mirrors - seems like I look for any excuse to add those products onto my pages! :)
