Inspired by the Princettia



Posted by Picasa

My challenge this week is to create something inspired by this plant above.
It is called a Princettia..... I bought it from QVC where it had been especially bred for the Breast Cancer Care night a couple of weeks ago.... a pink poinsettia..... I have never seen one before and it is truly amazing. Also all the money for the plant went to a good cause so I was happy to purchase it and now it sits on our dining room table in all its glory... I Wonder how long it will live????

So these pages in my album are based on PINK..... I made the album for a friend in the States as a 'Pay it Forward'... I do hope she likes it.  The little flaps contain photos of when she - Melissa and her husband Joe - came over to visit Scotland and play music at the Lighthouse in Dunnet Head.... my friend John's place.... super they were too.

Each double page spread in the book is a different colour and this is my pink one.

So, where do I start... well I sprayed the pages using some Cosmic shimmer sprays in various shades of pink and a touch of red.  Lots of stamping gone on using Claudine Hellmuth and other makes too many to name. The largest dress form is from Tim Holtz coloured with inks and overstamped and raised on foam tape.  The smaller frame has the dress paper pieced over the frame for a change.  I added lots of buttons, flowers, handbag, shoes and gems and swirls to make this a very girly page for Em.
There are some manly pages to come later .
I hope this may inspire you to have a go at my challenge this week.... have fun and enjoy playing.
