It's Friday!

Hi all!  I hope everyone has had a good week.  Mine has been busy, but of course, I have carved out some scrapping time!  See what's new:

geniaBeana Scraps has this fun summery kit called Summer Love:


I used it for this fun LO:


I also finished my Photo-a-Day pages for June, using these cool templates from Cornelia Designs that really capture the look of a matte plastic pocket page:





My Scrapbook Art didn't post any Photo-a-Day prompts for July, so I won't have any July pages.  I'm not sure if this is a temporary hiatus, or if the project has been discontinued.  I'm going to hunt around for another project just to be on the safe side so I can start again next month.

Have a good weekend, and come back and see me soon!

Hot Enough For Ya?

Seriously!  We are in Day 4 of a heat advisory here, and I know a lot of the rest of the country is in the same boat (or oven, as it were).  Hi all!  What better way to stay in the AC than by wanting to get caught up on some scrapping?!  Grab a cool drink, and see how I have been staying cool:

Stellajane Designs released this paper-based kit last week, called Floral Notes Vol.1.  Can you guess why I just HAD to grab it?


I borrowed a template from G'Day, the July collab from The Digichick, and here is what I made:


Cornelia Designs continues to knock the ball out of the park with her templates.  Take a look at Sail Away:


Again, I knew just which photos I wanted to scrap, using Wishing Well Creations' kit Down By the Bay:


It's been a while since I've grabbed any of Kimeric Kreations' goodies, but take a look at her latest collection, called Creative Soul:


I was fascinated with the word art and stamp portions of the collection, and happily played around until this layout was the result:


Moving on to some lovelies from geniaBeana Scraps, here is a new template set called Sketchy v.8:


Grab a template, choose some yummy papers and elements from this collab called Be Soft:


...and see what can happen:


Finally, here's another layout I did for a scraplift challenge at Scrapbook Bytes, using Ohana Designs' kit Life Story and her Wooden Frame Bundle:




Well, that's it for today!  Stay cool, and come back to see me soon!

Happy Friday!

Hi all!  How has everyone's week been going?  Mine has been busy, and although I have to work tomorrow too, TGIF!  I did some scrapping earlier this week, and just need to show you some lovely new releases this week.

First, here is a fun, summery kit from Wishing Well Creations called Down by the Bay:


The colors and theme reminded me of some photos from a long-ago vacation:


There is a coordinating set of papers and journal cards  you can get HERE, and if you  "like"  WWC's Facebook page HERE, you can also pick up a coordinating freebie!

If you remember, a while ago I did a layout using a quilt block pattern as a background.  It took me FOREVER to recreate the pattern with digital papers, but I love how it came out.  Well, imagine my delight when Cornelia Designs released a set of templates along the same idea!  The set is call Sew Quilted:


I combined a template with this stunning vintage-y new release from Etc. by Danyale called Primitive Summer:


And this layout is the result:


Oops!  Gotta run!  I have to be at work in half an hour!  Have a good day, and come back and see me soon!

New this week!

Hi all! Did everyone have a good Independence Day holiday?  I hope so!  Summer fun.  That's what I thought of when I saw this newest kit from geniaBeana Scraps called Little Fish:


The colors were perfect for this swimmy photo I've been wanting to scrap for a long time:


Ohana Designs also has some new releases this week.  Here is a lovely, elegant kit called Life Story:


Since Ohana Designs is the Featured Designer July 1-15 at Scrapbook Bytes, her entire store is 20% off HERE and you can get Life Story FREE with any $10 purchase in her store!  I combined the kit with some Painted Wooden Frames that are also new this week:
 

...and this heritage layout is the result:



That's it for today! Here's hoping summer is treating you well!  Come back and see me soon!

G'Day, Mate!

I just love that phrase!  Hi all!  It's July, and as always, a  new month means a new addition to the Digichicks Around the World collection at The Digichick, called G'Day, Mate!:


As you can see, this month we are celebrating the amazing country that is Australia, but of course, these colors are also perfect for the Canada Day or Independence Day pages you might want to scrap!  As usual, the collab contains the full kit, a hybrid project, a photo action, and a couple of templates.  I used one of the templates and the kit to scrap this page about some family I have in Australia:


As with every month's collection, you can grab even more add-ons to this collab by subscribing to The Digichick newsletter HERE and "liking" The Digichick Facebook page HERE.  That's it for today...make sure to come back and see me soon!
