Did ya miss me?

Well, we got home from vacation last night around bedtime. Whew. Wowzers...what an awesome week!! We seriously had tremendous heaps of fun and it was so exactly what we needed and just wow. Obviously I have tons of pictures to sort through and I'll share some of them along with stories...give me a bit, though, okay? :) In the meantime, here are a handful of layouts I've done for PRISM for this year's CHA shows (CHA is an industry trade show)...finally getting around to sharing:

On this first one, I was having fun playing with printing digital brushes directly onto cardstock and then coloring with chalk pencils. Fun! (This one, btw, was for the winter show back in February. I was and still am totally in love with this new green!)

Here's another from the winter show...pretty simple. I was just playing around with torn paper for the title. I love how substantial Prism paper is, yet how easily I can mess with it!

(Sorry. Image removed for publication purposes.)

Okay, this one is one of my all time favorites! It was also for the winter show and features some of the special Prism Mirri paper. The pictures don't really do it justice. Imagine a mirror. That's what this paper is like. Stinkin' cool. I played around with some heat embossing on top of the silver and love how it came out...part with white embossing powder and part with clear, using this great pattern stamp by Cornish Heritage Farms...cool! Oh! That white-ish strip between the silver and the red is one of Prism's fun embossed papers. I don't remember the name of this pattern off the top of my head but it's beautiful and oh so versatile. I can easily see using this on wedding invites or (as here) fun boy truck pages!

This is from the most recent show (last weekend) and features some of the cool new Prism Seaside line! Love the texture!! (and it comes in many colors)

Again, more Seaside paper. This time I played with stamping some of these fun Hero Arts leaves and then heat embossing with clear embossing powder. I also crumpled the paper like leaves and popped it up with foam dots. :) 

Okay. Off to sort through photos now. I'm so excited to scrap these all...going to a crop this weekend and am setting myself the goal of finishing this album. The boys are already anxious to see it so they can relive all their favorites. I may have to make some small albums just for them so they don't constantly take mine. :) Actually, though, they started their own during our trip...each night they wrote out what their favorite part of the day was and, in some cases, added some memorabilia collected during the day. Will work on finishing those this week with them and adding pictures. Yay!

That seaside texture is pretty cool. Glad you had a good vacation!
