Templates

This weekend I decided to design some templates. There are 6 total and they are FREE. They were made using Photoshop.

Each of these templates are based upon scrapbook pages in the Creating Keepsakes magazine from 2006 and 2007.

Here are the previews. Click on the photo to download them from 4Shared. Enjoy!

It's been too long!

It has been a while since I digi scrapped. I am getting WAY behind. I even sent pictures to my sister to scrap for me since she is all caught up. The last couple of nights I have scrapped while taking a break from my knitting. Here is what I have come up with:

Recipe Challenge and Update

I did not do one ounce of digi scrapping the month of August. I decided today it was time to get back in the groove of things.

This LO completes the Recipe Challenge over at STS.

I have some sad news by the way of an update. I am not longer working as part of the Creative Team for Eva Marina Scraps. Eva has decided to move to another forum, and the time requirements are just too much for me with my 2 kids and my other hobbies. I had a great time being part of Eva's CT and I am so glad she gave me the opportunity.

I might look around for another Creative Team to join, but for now I am just happy to be back and scrapping!

Speed Scrap

I am hosting my first speed scrap tonight at Stuff to Scrap! Eva Marina Scraps made an adorable brag book and I added a few word arts, for the participation prize! Come on over and join us! It's going to be great!

Challenge Updates

Here are the challenges I have completed so far over at Stuff to Scrap.

Color Challenge:
The colors we had to use were Red, White and Blue. I scrapped my father-in-law, Clark, when he was in the Army, back in the day!

Template Challenge:
This month the template challenge was a bit different. Instead of creating a layout with a template that was given to us, we had to create our own template. We were given 5 or so shapes we HAD to use and this is what I came up with! You can download the template in both rectangle (8.5x11) and square (12x12) HERE!!! (both the rectangle and square are in the same download!)


Recipe Challenge:
To complete the recipe challenge, we had to scrap something we are obsessed with. The catch was it could not be a person, or a family member. I chose to scrap The Coronation of Josephine by David. I love this painting. It makes me wish I could live in the Louvre.


Use it or Lose it Challenge:
Here is my Layout for the Use it or lose it. The kit is really cute! If you can't tell, I am really obsessed with scrapping with a lot of white space right now. I go through stages. Soon I'll think that white space is boring and be moved onto something else!


Desktop Challenge:
I am on the Creative Team for Eva Marina Scraps. She is the host of the Desktop Challenge over at Stuff to Scrap, so I always participate in hers. I used her new kit "Celebrate" which has a great mix of American and Canadian elements and colors. It worked perfect for the picture of my friends who are American and Canadian!


Speed Scrap:
Here is my first speed scrap of the month. I had a hard time because I wasn't really feeling it, but I completed it and had a fun time!

More Challenges

Here are some more LO's that completed the challenges over at Stuff to Scrap. If you digi scrap and have not checked them out yet, you need to. SERIOUSLY!!!

Ok. . onto the layouts.

This LO completes the Font Challenge:
The little guy on the left is my adorable nephew who inherited a suit from my little guy, shown on the right.


This LO completes the "Use-it-or-lose-it" Challenge:
In this challenge, you get a mini-kit from a designer and have to use all of the things they give you. In this case there were 3 papers (one of them is a little heart in the cluster at the top) and 5 elements. This challenge was really hard for me becuase I wasn't really digging the colors of the kit, or the patterns

This LO completes the quote challenge:
The quote comes from the movie "Ferris Buller's Day Off" I loved that movie when I was a kid. Especially the part where he sings "Shake it up baby" in the parade.


This LO completes the Motto challenge:
The motto comes from the Verizon commercials!

You might be thinking "But Natasha, you already did a motto and quote challenge" Well, those kind folks over at Stuff to Scrap have 2 quote and 2 motto challenges every month which gives you ample opportunity to fine tune your scrapping skills and come up with something great!
