Here is another look at Tiziana's STUNNING altered book from that hop...

Tiziana used a Gorjuss Girls stamp that she colored with her copics. Those beautiful papers are also from the Gorjuss Girls line. I am totally addicted to these papers!  They have such beautiful rich colors that have a distressed touch! I am super excited to say that we are expecting a LOT of new Gorjuss girls products that are scheduled to arrive the end of March! New stamps, papers, accessories....loads of fun stuff! Be sure to mark your calendars! 

Now let's hop along and see what the Design Team ladies have in store for you...

WOW Wednesday - Featuring Dangina

Hi Stampers -

Hope you are having a great week so far! My week has been long and I will be ready for a few days off when they get here - even though they always go by so fast :)

Today I would like to share a few of  Dangina's gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous...did I mention GORGEOUS?? Altered Notebooks and Album that she has created using the Prima Dolls. I know I am kind of on a Prima Doll kick because I love these stamps but I find them intimidating a little because of their large size so I LOVE looking at how people use them - LOL!

Now Dangina has also created quite a few stunning tags using these dolls as well but I will save them for a later feature otherwise this post would be ginormous because they are all so pretty! :)

Here we go...

This is a jaw-dropping 12x12 inch scrapbook album that Dangina created using the Doll with Bolero Sweater stamp! I love the color scheme and all of those beautiful zig-zag flowers that Dangina created! Couldn't you just stare at this for hours?!?! I know I could! I also love all the different textures, layers and bling! Such a beautiful family heirloom!

Dangina also did a few different Altered Composition Books as well. These are all amazing! Such a neat idea to create notebooks you would be proud to show off and use! These would make stunning gifts too! This beautiful black and white themed notebook was created using the Doll With Swing Dress stamp. 

This altered composition book was created using the Lorrena Prima Doll Stamp. She has a wide, full dress and I love how Dangina added the bling to the folds of her dress! The ribbon flowers on this are so beautiful also!

I love the neutral color palette that Dangina used with this journal! Check out the background too! I love the mix of the brick patterns with the distressed dots - looks amazing! The paper pieced outfit on the Doll With Bolero Sweater stamp goes perfectly with the background! The flowers add such elegance to this! Love it!

Every time I saw a new Altered Notebook that Dangina did I swore it was my new favorite and then she would make a new one that I loved just as much - LOL! I love the purple and white color scheme on this one. The zebra stripes on the dress give it the mix of a little wild with the girly-ness of the flowers and bling! This one would totally be my style :) This Prima Doll is called Doll With Pocket Dress.

This is another adorable altered notebook featuring the Doll With Ruffle Dress stamp from Prima. I really love the neutral colors on this one and using two different patterns of paper to paper piece the dress! The embellishments really look gorgeous and I bet the gold embossing really looked amazing in person! 

And the last one uses the Doll With Swing Dress Stamp. I love this one! The pinks pop off the background and I love all the sentiments, and that camera is so cute! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Well...I hope you enjoyed Dangina's Altered Notebooks and Prima Album! I really love the variety of colors, styles and themes of the different notebooks! Some AMAZING and STUNNING WORK!

I have listed the newest release prima dolls last week in the store so be sure to check those out and I will be listing some of the new release prima collections for preorder as well over the next few days :)

Operation: Shrink A Booty!

Hi Stampers -

It is Tuesday which means it is time for a new Loves Rubberstamps Challenge! This week we are doing something totally fun AND are being sponsored by one of my super favorite stamp lines...Saturated Canary! YAY!! This week we are playing with fun & funky hair colors! We want you to ditch the normal colors and use more unusual colors - blue, pink, purple, rainbow - whatever - just not a routine, everyday color! If you don't want to go all super funky...use a more regular hair color and add a fun color of highlights :)

A few of my fellow DT Members and I have all pinky swore to get back on track with trying to lose weight, eating better, and trying to make some healthier lifestyle choices. It is really hard when you have crazy schedules like we do, but together we will do it!

I have been a weight watchers member for awhile, but haven't been going to meetings (I know - shame on me!) or tracking my food (I know - double shame on me!) and recently I found my 12 week tracker book collecting dust....and never used! Well...I decided that maybe to motivate me to actually use it - I would alter the cover to something cute and fun, so that is what I did for my project today! I plan on creating a Weight Loss Journal also and using a bunch of Saturated Canary images in it - since they are my favorite and Krista has so many that would be totally adorable to use for something like this :)

Here is my altered Weight Watchers 12-Week Tracker Book :)

I TOTALLY love how this came out - LOL! I showed it to my husband and he laughed and thought it was pretty awesome :) The Digi that I used is called Salute Her and I thought she was a perfect image to use for this! I printed her onto my X-Press Blending Cardstock and then colored her with copic markers and just one spectrum noir color for my lightest green.

Here is a close up of the Salute Her Digi -

And a closer look at her hair! I colored her hair using E31, E33 & E35 and then added RV55 Highlights!

I am pretty excited to get busy creating my Weight Loss Journal...and with my plan of having it filled with some of my FAVORITE Saturated Canary Characters... it will be something that will be so fun to use!

Hope you enjoyed my project! Come Play along with us this week and show us your fun & funky hairstyles!

Thanks for stopping by!
