It's beautiful, By the Sea

I love this kit...the colors of it and it refers to the ocean...a peaceful kit and only a part of a huge collab called Color Play 9, found in the ScrapArtStudio store. This is Courtney's Digiscrappin's part of the kit. you can mix and match any part of these kits to want to build yourself a huge gorgeous kit for any and or all your scrapping creations.  I had to make a header using it for I find it a calming color with soothing elements.

 See for yourself how gorgeous these elements are and imagine what you could create using it.

 See those papers? Imagine the absolutely gorgeous cards you could make using them after printing them out off your printer. I know for a fact....they make for a perfectly soft background for a card....simply stunning.

These are pages I made using this kit by Courtney's Digiscrappin' part called Color Play 9. See it in the store with all the other beautiful creations at ScrapArtStudio and mix and match to put together a kit you will love. You will not be sorry you visited to see what all the other designers have made, infact, it might be hard to leave. Go ahead.....see what I mean. Visit HERE.

Happy Scrappin!

Sorry bout that....But, I have been sort of busy in my little world here. In some ways that is good, and in other ways....a bit chaotic.

I have a kit or two to show you and we shall start with the latest release.

 Strawberry Fields by Courtney's Digiscrappin is one gorgeous kit you will surely want to add to your collection for sure. Full of beautiful blossoms and dolls for your spring layouts showing any kind of gardening or yard work.

I have printed papers out and added them to some books I have made for my nieces birthday coming up as she loves to call herself crazy and loves greens, black and various other elements in this kits.

March releases

Can you believe it is already the third month of the year? And is spring right around the corner? I hope so, but in all reality, I do really hope not. We need  more moisture to fall before it officially begins our summer months. And with all this weather, I have been crafting up a storm and working somewhat hard at getting caught up with my scrapbook pages. Is a person ever close to getting caught up? ..... here are some new kits perfect for all of those projects. First, Courtney's Digiscrappin has created two beautiful kits and are on sale for a limited time in her shops.

The first one created by Courtney's Digiscappin is called Boys and Noise. A perfect kit for any male in your house or relationships with friends or kids in general. 

Here is a page I created using it to show the masculine part of the kit and how versatile it can be for your scrapping. The glasses and mustache is part of the kit and have been added to ham up the page. This kit is in all three of Courtney's Digiscrappin Stores.....ScrapArtStudio, Artisan Scrap and E-scape and Scrap. Make sure you stop by her blog and see what else she has up her sleeve.....

Then Courtney's Digiscrappin has this kit which is alot softer for possibly the feminine side to play with called Romantic Spring, which is a combination of her beautiful Color Play mini's that were on sale over in her store at ScrapArtStudio, but now all put together into one terrific kit for you to love and create with and in Artisan Scrap and E-scape and Scrap . 

Here is apage I created using the kit Romantic Spring. How can you not love that lace Courtney's Digiscrappin has created for it? All of Courtney's Digiscrappin kits are on sale at 30% off in all her stores so make sure you visit soon and collect them while they are....cuz after that, they are regular price.

Then I have Sweet Digi Scraps newest release called we're All Mad...another spin off of the Alice in wonderland theme. I love love love the fun she has displayed in her kits and this one is no exception. She has added many wonderful elements of the favored theme that is sure to capture the attention of whom ever is to see your pages. 

Look at how fun this kit looks and the fun you could have creating those pages for fun.

Here is apage I created using Sweet Digi Scraps kit We're All Mad of my niece many moons ago.....I love how it turned out. I also used a beautiful freebie template from FDD #45 for this page....but those alpha's are included in the kit. Sweet Digi Scraps has this kit at 30% off as well in her store over at TDC....so grab it quickly as it is for a very limited time. And now I have made a card that I thought maybe you would also like to have added HERE to your collection using We're All Mad by Sweet Digi Scraps. 

It is a fun card ready to be printed out off your own computer and is as always a 8.5x11 paper size. I hope you enjoy it and can use it over and over again.

Until then, Many Blessings and Happy Scrappin!

Hybrid Crafting & Digital Supplies

Have you ever considered what having digital supplies will actually do for your creativity levels? Hopefully after reading this post, I will have changed your mind if you have always wondered. 

I have always loved Art, and never thought myself very good at it. I never had the eye my kids did when it came to drawing or painting. Anyone who is in my immediate circle can tell you how many cards I make for them. Why? Because I love to craft and because I think it is more personal. 

Since I create for a couple awesome designers, and continuously find myself salivating over people who are so creative minded, like Heidi Swapp.....(I can't say enough good things about this magical bombshell) I get so inspired to do something new. Living in the most remote and rural part of the country, being able to just drive over to a store, craft shop and or office supply store is out of the question. So when I want to make something I have to be completely on my own and utilize all I have here in my craft room. Heidi Swapp has these Memory Folders I drool over..... and although I do not have all the punched out pretty arrows and assorted fancy ribbons etc. I do happen to have some beautiful digital supplies, in abundance. So, with alittle creativity, I made my own version, using Sweet Digi Scraps various kits called Storybook Romance, Prince Charming and Forever Family a freebie currently on Facebook. All of her beautiful products are in her store over at TheDigiChick HERE.....I use her stuff because they ALL print out so beautifully and perfect for ALL my Hybrid crafting. Now some of the added supplies are of what I have on hand and have been collecting over the years and was happy to be to incorporate it all and pull it together to make this album. It is my first, which all of you know, the template for trial and errors. I already planning my second Memory File Folder.....and incorporating my chip board and coming up with similar stuff that looks like Smashbook 3 dimensional stuff to add and it will be themed..like for vacations, grandchildren and or maybe a portfolio type folder. Now that is a good idea...displaying all of my favorite photos taken over 2012. See how my mind works? Understand that this is not finished quite yet....still have loads to add. But wanted to share what is so far....

 Here is the cover page. Butterfly is my stamp, gold embossing on red card stock to highlight the kit I used from Sweet Digi Scraps. Also added Gel Glitter pen inside of the butterfly for highlights. This paper is from her Freebie called Forever Family, which she is giving away on her Facebook. I have to get me some of that bailing twine looking ribbon for my next project and add some fat ribbon to my stash as well. The banner is Sweet Digi Scraps as well, and I printed it out and added my own small twine on the outside and Glossy Accents as the glue, but also used Alene's Tacky Glue for other various gluing. Any fast drying glue will work. Infact majority of the time, my big fat glue stick is my first grab for projects.

 Here is the inside, using a jouranling card from Forever Family Freebie and the heart is printed off from Storybook Romance. The flower is a piece of old lace I made into a flower and a rub sticker I have had and added. The dragonfly is also a old sticker. Also I added some photo stacks......and embellished the layers with stamps I have had and used colors of ink to coordinate with the paper colors I used.

 Now, I used some homemade glimmer mist using Tim Holtz Distress Ink and Perfect Pearls and sprayed the inside of the white card stock to jazz it up some. And again, Sweet Digi Scraps kit called Storybook Romance paper was used for my small folder. All the alphas were some  have had on hand and used to them that coordinated with the color of the Prince Charming papers.The card inside top is also from Sweet Digi Scraps Prince Charming kit. I will add photo's and various other details as well as I finish this folder up. My favorite part was stamping butterflies using Distress Ink Blue Jeans and using Clear embossing powder, and using a glitter gel pen inside of it to make it shinier. So pretty.

 Here, is folders inside of folders.....just adding Sweet Digi Scraps journaling cards from her freebie Forever family and added velum star stickers similar colors to the colors I used. It can be used to journal inside or whatever you desire,

 And since it is the center, I added the ribbon to this section and pulled a long ribbon through the whole thing to bind it. How? well on the outside of each folder, I took a hole punch and cut halfway into it and when opened, it shows a whole circle for adding your ribbon and or even some snap rings, which is an even better idea if it is a fat book.

So there you have how creative you can be by using your own digital supplies. I simply took an old folder  had on hand and used it for a template. you can make them small and or regular size....my next one will be one half the size of a regular folder and then print off my favorite themed papers for my next memory folder. I had so much fun doing this project... and the pictures do not do this project justice. But let your imagination flow.....dig out your card stock and get to printing out your papers and start making something beautiful.

I personally can't wait to finish this project up. I will also add my next project as well. Because as always the first one you do, you can always see and know what differences will be made for the next one. Do not be afraid to add your own supplies, stamps, glitters, buttons, ribbons, sprays, paints, water color pencils, crayons, inks, beads, safety pins and added beads, and don't forget all those cutting tools, to cut shapes and punches. This might not be as fancy as Heidi Swapps Memory File Folder, but it is mine and it is all from scratch. And I love the results I get each and everytime. Who needs to go shopping when you have unlimited supplies at your finger tips.  With this kind of flexibility, the crafting ideas are endless for you to create create create. So go, create something fun and beautiful today.

Happy Scrappin!

A Valentine's Freebie

It is officially two days away....the most romantic day of the year and if you have not got a gift for your significant other, or any have any last minute ideas, then I have an freebie just for you, it will even take a bit of  creativeness by you if money is tight, but this gift will be a sweet one to receive all the same. I know I would love it getting these in an envelope for Valentines Day...how about you?

I have created some coupons for you HERE, using Storybook Romance by Sweet Digi Scraps. The coupons are made a tad bigger so they would fit inside a standard envelope of which you could decorate the outside as you see fit before giving it to your recipient with floral paper, stamps or felt pens or whatever. It is to be printed out off your own printer on a 8.5x11 regular piece of white card stock and cut out and filled out whenever you need them, over and over again. Have a friend in need of something economical and thoughtful? Print one off for them as well. Most of all, have fun and make Valentine's Day a special one for you and your loved one. It is the most romantic day of the year.....but please do stop on over at Sweet Digi Scraps and tell her thanks, for it is her kit Storybook Romance and her approval that allows me to make these freebies happen for you.

Tomorrow is another day....Thanks for stopping by and Happy Scrappin!

Cherry Blossom and news

What a day it has been for me. I hope I can get through this without messing up to bad. 

I have decided to bite the bullet and make Scrap Art Studio's my other home an help be a CT Lead again. I love the site, as it has some serious creative artists in there and I adore the artists who design there, so ....after alot of thought and since they were looking for help, I bit the bullet and said, "Why NOT!" Everyone runs their site differently and I am sure once I get the hang of it, it will get easier. But you really should consider dropping in and seeing what it has to offer. Courtney's Digiscrappin is there and I am still making pages for her as long as she will have me. Which brings me too.......
