Chillin'

Hi all! Hot enough for ya?! I am told we hit the 100 degree mark yesterday, but it's cooling down to the 80's today. Whoo hoo! Well, my perfect way to stay out of the heat is to cozy up with my computer and to do some scrapping.

Here's a few random layouts I've done the last couple of weeks:

For a template challenge at ScrapMatters is this layout done using geniaBeana's kit Carefree:


I'm proud to say that this layout got a Gallery Stand Out mention at ScrapMatters AND Scrappity Doo Dah! AND Layout of the Day at Brownie Scraps!

This next layout was done for a mini kit challenge at Brownie Scraps, but I also used a template by geniaBeana:


Here's a page I did for a template challenge at Scrappity Doo Dah, using a kit called You Make Me Happy by Sweet Mesquite Designs:


And lastly, this layout was done for an ad challenge at SDD...you were given this print ad as inspiration:



And the layout I came up with, using Fresh by Dylabel Designs:



Well, I think I'm all caught up now! Stay cool!

Minimal

Dylabel Designs has released a new kit and her first ever template pack, both called Minimal. The templates lend themselves towards a white space scrapping style, and the kit has some of my favorite colors. Take a look:



Both are available at Scrappity Doo Dah, and they're on sale for the first week! Get the kit HERE and the template pack HERE. Here's a page I did using both:


I'll be back soon to show you what else I've been up to!

Rustic

Here's a new kit for you from Ohana Designs called Rustic. You can pick it up HERE in the shop at Brownie Scraps:


I thought the rich colors were perfect for this sunset photo I've been hanging on to for a while:


I can't resist photographing any glorious sunrise or sunset I'm lucky enough to witness! They're some of my favorite outdoor scenes to scrap!

On the Move

New in the shop at Brownie Scraps is this fun collab kit by Scraps by Mara and Blue Heart Scraps called On the Move. It was inspired by CT member Lynette who wanted to document an interstate move:


You can get this kit HERE. I used the kit to do some scrapping about some of the houses I've lived in:


This other page using On the Move was also scrapped using a template collection from Scraps by Mara, also new in the shop HERE today:


I'm not much of a journaler so using one of these templates really helped me out on this page:


I hope everyone is enjoying their summer...see you soon!

This n That

I've had a few layouts pile up that I thought I'd show you all. As usual, most of these were done for various challenges at various digiscrap forums.

First up we have a card I made for a card challenge at ScrapMatters:


This page was done for a template challenge at Brownie Scraps and used the kit Freedom by Scraps by Mara:


This next layout, also for a challenge at Brownie Scraps, asked you to use all the pieces of a mini kit provided free by Scraps by Mara:


Over at Scrappity Doo Dah, a challenge in June asked you to take a photo and edit it to resemble a line drawing. I thought this photo worked well since it wasn't very good quality. I used the kit Spring Scrappiness by Dylabel Designs:


This next challenge at SDD provided a piece of WordArt that you needed to include. The kit is Ella Fun by Dylabel Designs:


And finally, this last layout was done for a challenge at ScrapMatters that required, among other things, that you use pieces from at least 3 different kits or products. Now, usually I create my pages using only one kit, so this really was a challenge for me! I'm proud to say I used
Layer Upon Layer v1 Template Grab Bag for the template and pieces from Sun Shiny Day, Spring Things, and Flamingo Beach, all by geniaBeana Scraps, for the papers, elements, and alphas:


Well, I think I'm all caught up now...see you next week!

Paisley Explosion

Hi all! I hope everyone in the USA and Canada had a wonderful holiday weekend. We kept things low-key around here and just enjoyed the fabulous weather. Now that it's Tuesday, it's time to show you what Scraps by Mara has new in the shop at Brownie Scraps. It's a bright, colorful kit aptly named Paisley Explosion:


The kit is on sale HERE. Take a look at the fun I had with this kit:



See you all again soon!
