Hello everyone and welcome back. I've had a wonderful week of catching up on well-over-due jobs, cooking decent meals and finally feeling like I am getting on top of things both domestically and creatively. One of my personal achievements this week was to create a layout for the current challenge at More Than Words and to incorporate more colour into my projects. I really like the theme of this challenge and new exactly which photo I wanted to use.
I love using circles so I pulled out my treasured Prima Stitched Circle stamps, which apparently are collectors items now. A set went up for auction at the recent retreat that I attended and after fierce bidding, ended up selling for quite a bit of money, so I'm cherishing these stamps even more now :D The other thing I was excited to get stuck into was my Colour Blast Shimmer Dust and Colour Blast Colour Paste. I had the chance to play with these beautiful Australian products at the aforementioned retreat and I was blown away at how magical these products are. I think my new motto is "colour, colour, colour"! Here is my entry:
I just had to use this colourful pic of me with two of my scrapping buddies Mary Bennetts and Lizzy Hill. Not only did the photo fit the theme but also my own criteria of using bright colours. I hardly ever get to see these ladies IRL but they are always ready for a cyber chat and inspire and encourage me endlessly. This photo was taken at Camp Mojo last year and I can't wait to see them again (plus a couple of other of my lovely friends) next month for our weekend getaway!
This cute felt star is part of a package from Charms Creations that I won at the recent retreat. So glad I have had a chance to use it already :)
Look at that rich, vibrant colour!
Lots of layers and texture!
So thanks for calling in and I hope that I helped colour your world!
Beautiful Jo, you do colour so well, I struggle with it. You will have to give us a demo of those products in Sept :) Enjoy the weekend

Kapow!!! Yep, you nailed it Jo! LOVE the vibrancy of the colours and like you, I'm a big fan of the Prima stitched circle stamps. I shall treasure mine even more now I know they are collectors items. Good to hear you are on top of things. I've spent today ruthlessly pruning magazines and scraps of paper. Such a good feeling! Enjoy your catch up with Mary and Lizzy; two bright, shiny women. :D
ReplyDeleteThis is really stunning! And not only cos we're in it, LOL....ROFL..... giggles!!! I just LOVE the vibrancy and the richness of those colours....& the circles look amazing. I'd be giving you the winner's ticket for this one!!!
ReplyDeleteColor is surely your friend Jo! This is sensational. And, that Prima stamp was so worth the money. I'm hoping Prima has anothet release on the circle stamp, like they did with the infamous brick stamp, because i didn't buy them when they available and now i can't find them.
