“Hello Everyone!  My name is Helen Tilbury & I live in Durban, South Africa, together with my husband, 4 kids & 3 cats.  When I’m not working I love to get creative with inks, mediums, & paper - creating layouts, canvases, art-journal pages, tags, cards, mini-albums, & Off-the-Page projects! As long as there is some PRIMA on everything I make I am one happy girl!!" ~Helen

First look at this month's sketch and I knew that I'd play with some medias to build the various layers on my page. You know, I'm not a heavy media girl, but splashing some gorgeous Prima Color Bloom mists over my base paper was easy-peasy. I really love the shimmer and beautiful, transparent layers they give! I added some stamped details and more elements- like leaves and die-cut flowers to build dimension- also they corresponded well with the photograph of me and my Mum. We took this picture on my wedding day, My Mum was making the flower crown for me and we tried it quickly before putting on the dress- it's a lovely memory and I thought if I change the sketch to an A4 format I could give this layout to my Mum so she can have it framed!  ~Kasia :)

As soon as I saw the sketch, I remembered the picture of my niece, Alice! I don’t usually do projects in a clean style, but I wanted something to stay sophisticated and sweet! I also worked with texture paste and Color Bloom sprays! I like the end result and that it continues with sweet dreams! ~Luciana Warnowski

Tags are good project to test new products or techniques. And when you have a "wow!" subject, as this month PPP, you can make all that your creative mind desires. Here I made two fall tags working with brown shades, with some details using gold and copper. Metallic colors are always great add-ons for any kind of color palette. To add more interest in this piece of joy I added lots of little details using say it in crystals, wood embellishments, and, of course, (to make it more artsy) a few art mediums? Finnabair's Art Basic's lines will take your artsy soul to another new level! Try it! ~Rommel

I love the new chalkboard paints. They can help transform an old, tired piece into a fresh,  conversational treasure.  I re-purposed a wall hanging by painting the pumpkin with chalkboard paints, topping with Art Extravagance Texture Paste in  Clear Crackle , and adding canvas. Fun products with fun results. ~Jennifer
