[Sketch: Art Is In Her Blood] I decided to use a couple of photos taken of Kylie while drawing in her sketchbook for a template challenge at digiridooscraps.com. I used the Oopsie Paisley kit by Scrap'it Designs (I've used this kit for a couple of previous layouts) and template by Scrap-a-holic Designs. Font for the... Continue Reading →
Kida went to a classmate's birthday party over the weekend and had a really great time. I made this card and had Kida sign it. I used papers and elements from some of the digital designer's I purchased from. I also used blue glitter glue and made little spots all around the yellow frame. Sketching... Continue Reading →
[Spotted Moth Orchid] This was created for a photo blending challenge at scraporchard.com. There are two tools I often use when I blend: erase and brush. For this challenge I used the brush tool but either method would have worked. The background papers consists of two papers with the darker one having a lower opacity... Continue Reading →
[Summer 2011: Home Project] This layout is for the Fresh Fruit Challenge at scraporchard.com. It counts toward the 2011 Iron Scrapper Challenge. Used the Sweet Home kit by AnnaBV Designs. Font is Vaguely Repulsive by dafont.com BTW, the layout, "Long Beach, WA Trip [8.2005]," received a Gallery Standout. š

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that... Continue Reading →
[Ring Lit Eyes] This layout was created for a catch light photography challenge at Scraporchard.com. The photos used are from earlier this year when I first got my ring light. I talked about ring lights here and here. The papers and elements are from the Tom Thumb kit by Irene Alexeeva Designs.
Here is a screen shot of my July desktop. I am dying to go near a beach or somewhere tropical. Since I don't think that will happen anytime soon, I decided to put together a scene using the kit, On The Shore, by Studio Q to take me there.
[Popsicle-licious] [Lickity Good] These two layouts were created using the new kit, Cool Treats, by Jennifer Z Designs. I love how fun and colorful this kit is and it went perfect with photos I took of my girls licking (and munching) down on mango/guava Popsicle.
[Be Happy] This layout was created for a template challenge at scrapbookgraphics.com. I had won a previous challenge from Studio Q worth $10 to their shop so I purchased a few things and one of them was the On The Shore kit. I truly love the colors, especially the guava-red used in the layout. I... Continue Reading →
