Gratitude Journal

by Kelly Foster

We have a few gals on our design team who have rocked this line as well. They will be sharing work on the 10th each month as well....here is a sampling!

"I decided to use the Vintage Vanity Art Journal as my "Gratitude Journal" for this year. It is a special place to creatively record the things I am thankful for, reminders to myself, special photos, and more. I kept the cover fairly simple but full of rich color. I loved using the Doily Stencil to create a beautifully textured embossed piece." ~Kelly

Kelly used modeling paste, followed by Stampendous Embossing Enamel- Aged Ivory to create the doily effect here. Then she heat set it, then applied embossing ink and Shimmerz Enamelz - Gold Digger here and there. 

Stunning or what?

Hello Layout

by Kasia Krzyminska

Of course Finn's lines can be used with ANY style! We even have step-by-step tips from Kasia today on how to create this gorgeous layout!

"I choose this funny photo of me and my friend Eliza from ProzArt and decided to embellish it with a lot of flowers and girly colors." ~Kasia

pic. 36b - I used resist canvas border to add some irregular layers and to diversify composition under the photograph

pic. 36c - I started with bigger flowers and then add smaller elements on top so they don't lose their charm under layers of other embellishements

pic. 36d - Layering buttons, metal elements, pebbles, flowers and crystals is a nice way to create interesting clusters that are really eye-catching.

pic. 36e - You can also use some bigger metal elements to create textured background. Just glue them with gel medium and cover with gesso or modeling paste.

pic. 36f - I covered round stickers from Sunrise Sunset collection with Glossy Accents to add good-looking details and make them more interesting.

[Jennifer C.]

Love it. I was lucky enough to take a class last year with her so anything she does would make me very happy

[Deborah Cook]

the canvas work is the best i have ever seen, she is so talented, i hope i am at home around 2 o'clock today so i can see the class, thanks for sharing these wonderful pieces of art with us, I love all Prima products.

[Jenny Andersson]

Lovely! I would like you to make a LO or canvas with a colourful picture as a base and use Finn´s line as decorations around.

[Jaatang@yahoo.com]

I'd love to see more with the mechanicals line. She is amazing and so inspiring with her art.

[Randi Marque]

These are AMAZING!! I would love to see you incorporate these into a whimsical scrapbook page for children or maybe a little book to give them for when they are older. I need Some ideas for scrapbooking cute pictures of my twin girls such as baby, toddler or kindergarten

Since you are asking :) for ideas..... I would also love it if you could link your supply list so we can just click on it to see what product is being used rather than just the name and product number???

Thank you for awesome inspiration and products from everyone at prima! I need to figure out how to do Solange's photo transfer technique!!

[Vero Atienza]

I love this collection. I think it's very vintage and their designs have a masculine touch. Would love to see some inspiring album with this collection. I'm thinking of making one for my dad at Christmas and I think it would be very useful.

[Janet Nelson]

What struck me most were the color combinations that Finn used...beautiful. What I would love to see is a video of Finn actually creating one of her projects. I feel very intimidated because, although I love the end result, I have no idea how to get to the end from the beginning.

[Jen]

Love the Vintage look! I look for ideas on how to utilize vintage elements and this is beautiful.

[Patricia Basson]

As far as Finnabair's work is concerned, I can watch her at work all day and any day!Just seeing how she layers and adds her elements is awe inspiring...Would love to see more of her colour work...how she adds her colour to her projects!

[march allias corinne de france]

without hesitation, the new collections of his stencils and stamps
bravo! beautiful creations

[Rommel]

Awesome projects! This line is gorgeous so far - than last release from Winter Show. Love all products! oxox

[Kim Matthews]

Everything is beautiful, amazing and inspiring! It is so hard to resist buying everything that Prima makes! I really love the mini album that Cari will be teaching today. They are so perfect for gifts. I agree that it would make it so much easier to link the product list so that we can actually see the products being used. Most of the online places that I shop at do not list the products by number. Thanks for always offering so much inspiration!

[Ava Gavloski]

Finn's line is magical, the elements can take you on a journey where ever the photo's have been taken, love them

[Jax]

I love Finn's collections, and I was sorry to see that the latest one wasn't released in 12x12 as well. Hopefully next time?

I think the Prima DT presented a great variety of projects this time around - keep it up!

[Kate]

All these projects are amazing. Finn is one of my favorite artists. Her work can always get me out of my rut! I would so love to win some products created by her. I am on a no crafting budget right now so here's hoping I win some of these awesome & inspirational products!

[caroleanne wright]

wow whats not to love! I need to give one of these canvases a go. Am loving all the Prima projects and products.

[Svetlana V]

Amazing projects!!! I'm more cardmaker and mini albums maker, so Ill be looking forward to see some with pleasure

[Kathi R]

Wow. These are all amazing projects.

I'd love to see more Mechanicals of different sizes.

[selena]

Que de beaux projets avec ce materiel magnifique, j'adore FInnabair et j'aimerai voir un projet album ou page en vidéo pour nous inspirer ce travail de couches.

[Shanna Shands]

Honestly I love her line so much. I would love to see more tutorials with using it! Also some altered projects and more home decor if we can. I have an empty house with tons of photos and the fiancé said "Why don't you make stuff for the house?" So Let's start decorating ladies and gents!!!

[Erna Price]

Love it! Love to see more layouts and more of the journals!

[queenbanana]

Wow, totally yumminess!! Leave it up to Prima to find a way to make gears look elegant and luxurious! Your take is the "new" way to do gears and I love it to death. Thanks Prima and Finnabair.

[Cynthia Keogh]

Finnabar's products are amazing. I work up the courage every so often to work with a piece or two. I just love looking at them!

[LindaSS]

[Dixie Howell]

Wow, such beautiful projects! I would love to use this line. thanks for sharing!

[butterfly]

Such amazing lines from Anna - the Mechanicals are so gorgeous... and the Vintage Vanity stamps are heaven. Love seeing what everyone does with them, and was so happy to take a class with Anna herself a couple of weeks ago. The stamps and stencils are definitely going to become everyday tools for me, and the Mechanicals for special occasions!!

[Lesley French]

I love the depth and vibrancy of all these products. I must admit I love 12x12 layouts so anything that can be used for a layout is inspiration for me. I love the journal page she shows in this post! Stunning colours and effects. Thanks for keeping me thinking :)

[fusiafscrapping]

Wow! It's amazing! I love Anna's line so much.
I would like to see some more tutorials and live video on Prima ustream channel. I love to watch how scrapbook artists create pretty tings.
Finn trzymaj tak dalej - świetna kolekcja.

[PavlaH]

I really love what I'm seeing right now ;-) but I would like to see more of those doily stencils in action - they are absolutely awesome!

[amante del papel]

I haven't words! this is so fantastic

[Judy]

Such a unique, individual look -amazing how your eyes are drawn into so many details. Love it. I love seeing the variety of her work-not just the one focus.

[Paivi S-A]

Absolutely gorgeous! I'm lusting after each and every one of those products, especially loving the doilies. As a beginner I enjoy video tutorials and would benefit from watching an artist like Anna creating a layout step by step.

[Geraldine]

Love all of Anna's products and creations, she is an amazing artist. And loved Cari's project on live with Prima today, and the DT work above. Would love to see more cards made with these collections, as I mostly make cards.

[Sharon Rogers]

Jaw dropping. The best I've seen. Love her work.

[Jennifer Scull]

every one of these projects is a gorgeous work of art! stunning examples with Prima goodies! :)
