Falling Snowflakes - Michele R Designs

So ... sorry I've hardly been around lately.  Some of you know but for those who don't, hubby and I are building a house so it has been quite time consuming as I'm sure you could imagine.  In the meantime, I've also lost my mojo for card making but not to fear.  I am building quite the craft room so I'll be back doing it sometime in the new year.  

HOWEVER, in the meantime I am still digi scrapbooking and I've used the newest Christmas papers from Michele R Designs called "Christmas Time".  I used 3 of the 8 amazing - 12" x 12" papers you can purchase in one package and stitched them together like a quilt.  Not my idea, I did scraplift this and am so sorry I don't know the lady who created this awesome layout but would love to give her credit!!

I also used a number of "Christmas Time Elements Pack 2" and these even come in a .png extension so there is no cropping needed for the elements!!

Have you joined the Facebook Group yet?  Seems to me there is either freebies going on or a contest for the latest package of awesome papers and elements.  Check it out!!  

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!!

Summer Meadow - New Papers

Woo hoo!!  More gorgeous papers by Michele!!!  These ones are called Summer Meadow and this time her elements are also included in a png file for those of us who like to scrapbook with her elements.  FUN!!

I also used a scrapbook template from Prelestnaya "Full of Memories Volume 28" and a digi scrapbook kit called "Time 4 Love" by Dita B Designs, who by the way, is an incredible digi kit designer.

I thought I would do a variety of pages using different papers from the 12 x 12 paper pack.

Then a page with a colored photo and black and white.  

New to the store is a card kit pack too.  CHECK THIS OUT!!  This kit contains a sheet with the flowers on a separate image to cut out and decoupage.  Should make for a quick card or two!!  I'll print a few of those out and see how far I get so I can share with you.

If you haven't joined the FB page for Michele R Designs, check it out.  She gives a lot of freebies out too.  BONUS RIGHT?!!  

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by. 

Michele R Designs - Sophie's Rose

Well this was a FUN project for me to do!!  These are papers called "Sophie's Rose" from Michele R Designs and they were just released this past Friday!!  YAY TO NEW PAPERS!!!  I can never seem to get enough of her stuff.  Love her vintagy shabby chic style!!!

The butterflies are also from the "Elements 2" kit and I had to digitally cut them out.  Same with the postcard, tag and coupons but those pieces were much easier because they are square.

I used pieces from many digital kits to make this work out.  Took awhile but I love the end result and the picture is of my mom last New Year's.  Isn't she beautiful?!!!

The papers come in 6 x 6 and 12 x 12 so are gorgeous to print for any project.

There you have my project for today.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

It's helpful to enter challenges at the various scrapbooking forums to get pages done.  Pictures that have been left just sitting in a file and what happens to the next?  That's why I've spent time over the past few weeks sorting all my pictures from the last 10 or so years.  I had them scattered on my laptop, an old computer, some discs and my iPhone.  

Anyway, now I'm just taking radom pictures and adding them to some great digital scrapbook kits made by some amazing designers such as this one by Ooo La La Designs.  The kit is called "Afternoon Stroll" and is full of gorgeous pieces.  

It's funny how we think a picture should be of people always facing us.  As you start on this avenue of crafting you start to look at this a little differently.  Now it seems like everything is a good shot!  LOL!! 

Thanks for stopping by!

TWINTASTIC Scrap Page

OK this page was FUN!!  I suppose it's cuz it's full of great subjects.  HA HA HA!!  Me and my twin!   hee hee  She's so awesome!!  Love that lil thing to BITS!!  I'm even trying to grow my hair out long again like hers.  

For this layout I used a set from an awesome store called Pickleberrypop.  Even the name is cute!  This designer is Vero and the collection is "Sherbert Inspiration (Collection)".  I quite like her designs and I'm sure I"ll buy more again.

If you click on the photo it should get bigger and you might even be able to read it but it doesn't say much.  I just had fun with rolling the text around the doily on the first page.  Oh and for those of you who don't know, I'm the one on the left page.

Ok I'm off!!  I like these pages because they don't need much explanation.  LOL!!

Thanks for looking!!  

Designs by Jill - Quiet Moments

I've discovered I have a few favorites who create digital scrapbooking kits and one of them is "Created by Jill".  Her new bundle called "Quiet Moments" is jammed full of amazing papers and embellishments just to name a few things.

Here is my entry into "White Space" Challenge.  Now as many of you know, I am NOT really good with white space so that's why it was definitely a challenge.  LOL!!  I don't think I did too bad!  

I really like that I can just look into my oodles of files of pictures and just pull something out from the vault.  Yup!  That's what I'll call it!  LOL!  Also, takes like 2 hours to create one of these instead of half a day.  Well...that's if I don't get too finicky.  LOL!

Thanks for looking!

Digital Scrapbooking!! OH NO!

Soooooo I wanted to start digital scrapbooking for a specific reason but OMG I'M OUTTA CONTROL!!  I LOVE IT!  I think I love that it's not messy, I don't have to be IN my craft room to do it, I can actually finish layouts at night (unlike cards), it AND I DON'T NEED INTERNET!  Well I do if I want to download kits but that's just fine!!  

I've already done a few layouts, which I'll show you later because I love them but this one is of my furry Siberian, Rafferty.  Don't we all love our pets?  He's hypoallergenic so I don't have such severe reactions.  What a character!!  

Kit used by Jumpstart Designs - "Beyond Serenity"

The blueprint is one from Pixels2Pages an amazing scrapbooking forum, tutorial site and amazing resources.  I have learned SO MUCH!!  

Thanks so much stopping by!!  Don't worry, you'll still see cards too!!  I'm working on being super versatile!  LOL!
