A Class Act

Hi all!  I'm back today to show you a new release from Alexis Design Studio that celebrates the time of year...namely, back-to-school time!  Here is A Class Act Bundle:


I used it to do a layout of a photo of one of my hubby's school photos from a LONG time ago, lol:


The bundle is on sale HERE for 30% off through Sunday, and as usual, if you don't need the entire bundle, the various components are available individually.


It's hard to believe that it's the end of August already!  A new month always brings new scrapping fun, so make sure you come back and see me soon!

Bekah Boo

Hi all!  Charla of Charm Box Studios, who creates photo editing actions and storyboards, has collaborated with Sunrise Studio to release this really fun, sweet collection called Bekah Boo (named after one of her daughters):

I thought this was a great kit for some photos of some fun, sweet, girls:


I used 3 of the photo actions on the pictures in the layout, choosing whichever one would give the photo the look I wanted. If this collab appeals to you, check it out HERE while it's on sale, and then come back and see me soon!

New This Week!

Hi all!  The Summer Memories Road Trip is winding down at The Digichick, and I'm back to scrapping some regular pages.  Valentina's Creations has several new releases in the shop this week, and I took the time to play with this one, called Pure Creativity:


I amused myself with really manipulating a photo of my little niece and plunking it down in the middle of all sorts of yumminess (yes, that's a word) from the kit:


I used the stand-alone kit, but there are coordinating journal cards and stamp sets available individually or in a cost-saving bundle.

In other news, Ohana Designs has some contributions to the monthly Grab-A-Byte collection at Scrapbook Bytes this month:

You can pick up any of the parts of the collection, called Ohana Means Family, at the Ohana Designs shop HERE for only $1 each through the weekend! The family-related word art inspired me to scrap another photo from a family get-together from earlier this summer:


All caught up again!  Have a good week, and come back and see me soon!

Road Trip!

Hi all!  I meant to check in a couple of days ago but real life in the form of a leaky toilet got in the way.  My bathroom is well on its way to being restored to functionality, so I'm taking this opportunity to share what's new at The Digichick!

As usual, I worked with a new release a few days ago.  Flora Boom from Gypsy Couture Design Company is on sale for 40% off through Sunday evening:

I thought this kit worked well for this photo from a couple of months ago that I've been waiting to scrap:


The template is from the Summer Memories Boutique Collab by the Digichick Design Team.   Speaking of Summer Memories, our Road Trip birthday celebration is underway!

Challenge Recap

Hi all!  Every now and then I participate in scrapbooking challenges just for the fun of it.  Pixels and Company had their semi-annual Dollar Days sales event during the month of July and many of the challenges offered during month really appealed to me.  I managed to do all 8 challenges that were offered, which I believe is a first for me at any site!  I've already shown you some of the pages I've done, but here are the ones I haven't posted here yet:

For the Color Challenge (red, yellow, and 2 shades of blue):

Journaling Challenge (journal about a landmark):

3-Way Challenge (use 3 different Dollar Days items):

Photo Challenge (then and now):

Recipe Challenge (follow 5 specific directions):

3-Way Challenge (#2):

Template Challenge:

It's pretty obvious I've been leaning towards a lighter palette and a simpler page design with these layouts.  It kind of fits with the summer season, I think.  For credits for all these layouts, check out my gallery HERE at DST.   Well, we're all caught up now, and don't forget:


...so come back and see me soon (specifically, August 7-11th)!

New This Week at The Digichick!

Hi all!  It's August, can you believe it?  I've had a busy week but of course, I made time for scrapping.  Who needs clean laundry, anyways?  ;)

Lina of LDrag Designs has joined the design team at The Digichick and, having some of her goodies in my stash already from her time at another shop, I was just thrilled to scrap with a new collection of hers called Sand, Castles, and Flip Flops:

http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/Sand-Castles-and-Flip-Flops-Collection.html

As usual, portions of the collection are available separately, so I grabbed the main kit, the sandy alpha, and the border collection and scrapped these photos from our last vacation a couple of years ago:


I also used a template from Pocket Life Project Template Vol.2 by Lilach Oren Designs that I showed you last time.

The new quarterly boutique collab is also up at The Digichick! Take a look at Summer Memories:

http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/Summer-Memories.html


I did a couple of projects with this collab so far...I did a page for my CT buddy Cornelia's template challenge:



I also used the collab to freshen up my forum signature for the Signature Challenge that I'm hosting at The Digichick this month:

I hope you're inspired to join me and perk up your own siggy as well!  Speaking of challenges, my next post will get you caught up on some challenges I had fun with last month. Don't forget, next weekend is going to be jam packed with fun games, challenges, and a chance to win some cool stuffs at The Digichick's Summer Memories Road Trip, so come back and see me soon!
