"Chips, Chips!" Layout
Prima Product Pick {Prima Marketing}





Hi there!  Happy Weekend to you!!  A sad one for me with my 2 older kids heading 
back to university in the morning.  Miss them so much when they are gone
 & have loved having them home for a few weeks.


Finally I got the PPP done for July!  Here below is the sample "mood board".
I'm not big on blue but I was happy when my page was done :)


I used some straws that are locally available & am now in love with the idea!
I bought some pink & white ones too so expect to see more of them!!


Somehow straws have a celebratory, party vibe, yes?!
Perfect for my daughter's photo & celebration of her favourite food!!
Here we call them Chips but also known as French Fries :)


I used so many different Prima collections here.  
Base paper from the Delight Collection, paper strips from the Divine collection,
some stickers from 2011 - so long ago I can't remember the name!


Also Prima bling, Prima flowers & these lovely big Prima resist alphas.
I have had them for ages & only just got into the Resist items now, rather late!
The trick I've learnt is to ink up then add water to activate the resist, using a 
paint brush.  Oh my goodness the effects are awesome!!


Also used a Prima mask, Prima crochet flowers, Ingvild Bolme for Prima
chalk ink, a paperclip from the Free Spirit collection, some older paper
(2011) & some 2013 stickers.  All in all at least SIX collections not 
including the stamps, mask & the flowers & bling.

Thanks to participating in the Prima Challenges twice a month for over
a year now I am actually making quite a dent in my Prima stash & so
looking forward to their new collections landing on South African shores!

Gorgeous layout! Way to use up your stash too. I used to do their challenges regularly a few years ago too but got out of doing them when I had to slow down my scrapping due to work demands. I should try to get back into it though as many of those I created from their challenges are some of my faves.

For blue not really being your fave you did a fantastic job on this layout. The words on the photo are a great addition. Chips are my downfall LOL
