One thing I love and One thing I'm not sure of

Ok, so I think I will start with the one thing that I'm not sure of. Chrissy W. has a new freebie template challenge on her blog. Hey, if your are up the challenge you even have a chance at winning a $10.00 gift certificate to her store at Elemental Scraps. As part of her creative team I get the pleasure of an early peek at her newest goodies. This template has stumped me since the beginning. Well, I finally buckled down and did it. I am totally not sure of the results. I like the layout but I don't love it. For this layout I used a beautiful charity kit put together by the ladies at After 5 Designs to help out a fellow scrapper. I love these kits. You are supporting a good cause and they are usually jam packed with a ton of fabulous goodies. This one certainly didn't disappoint. Kit is called Artemia.



My next layout is just a fun challenge that I did to earn points towards a gift certificate at Digital Candy. This is their desktop template challenge. They provide you with the desktop template and you get to make it yours. Well, I was searching through some Christmas kits from last year and came across this real cool set of elements by Amy C Designs called Grinchy. I just had to use it. The tree, ornaments and Santa hat are all from that collection. Then, I grabbed this fabulous kit called Hoppy Christmas from Elemental Scraps for the frog and wordart. I love my calender.

New kits from Elemental Scraps

Elemental Scraps recently celebrated their 3rd Birthday and for that event they released tons of new goodies into the shop. I have used several of the beautiful kits and I have a few layouts to share with you.

1. Bright Eyes

For this layout I used Valorie Brown's kit called True Colours. The template is by Sya's Blueprints.



2. Blue Eyed Girl

This layout uses the kit called Forest Life by Juno Designs. The template is by Sya's Blueprints and the Wordart is from Elegant Wordart. I must also give a huge shout out the my fabulous Sister-in-Law, Jennifer, for the fabulous photo of my Emma.

Chrissy has a new template set out

I have been dying to post these layouts since I completed them. I did them for Chrissy W. She launched a new template set today at Elemental Scraps. They are celebrating their 3rd Birthday today and there is about 40 new products in store and big sale going on. All three of these layouts use this new set of Chrissy's called Angie'licious 3 .

1. Do you believe in Magic.

First I must put out a huge Thank you to my Sister-In-Law Jennifer. These photos are of her daughter Ava. I needed some really magical shots to finish this layout and these photos are perfect.

The kit is called Dream about Christmas by Natali Designs. The Alpha used for the word Magic is by Flergs.



2. Storm

This photo was taken a few hours after a tornado ripped through the Fergus area in 2005.

Kit is called Rainy Day Blues and was a gift from Jen of Chaos Lounge at Digital Candy.



3. Seriously

Honestly, I'm not trying to kill the kid. I only wanted to take her photo. She looks like she is posing for a really bad passport photo. This photo totally makes me laugh. Emma was really annoyed with me when she found out I scrapped it.

Kit was a freebie by Mag called Sakura Bloom.

The two cutest little men, ANYWHERE!!

Seeing as I don't have any little boys of my own, Jen, was kind enough to let me borrow some photos of hers. I had some awesome little boy kits to work with and I needed some great photos to use with the kits. This first layout is of Owen. It was done using a kit by Calalily Designs called Boys Rule. Template is by Sya's Blueprints.



This next layout is of Ethan. I used a new kit by Valorie Brown called The Best Gift. It should be release at Elemental Scraps tomorrow as part of their birthday celebration and sale. Template is from Chrissy W's newest set called Angielicious 3. It will also be released at Elemental Scraps tomorrow.

2 layouts with a new kit

This month at Digital Candy, I am working with Calalily Designs. The first kit that I am working with is called Princess in Training. It's a super cute kit filled with soft colours and doodled elements. It's absolutely perfect for little girls.

For both layouts I used templates by Sya's Blueprints and the background paper is from Natali Designs.

My Last 4 Layouts

Here's my last four layouts for the Fall Scrap-a-thon at Digital Candy. It has been so much fun. I love scrap challenges.

Layout #5 Scraplift a layout of Christie's.

Here's my layout using a recoloured paper of Jennifer Barrettes. Otherwise this is a total scraplift.


Layout #6 Scrap a layout based on a song.

I used a kit called Colourful Nature by Juno Designs and Anja J. Template by Chrissy W. Light streak and sparkles by Martencja Designs.



Layout #7 Scrap an Imperfect Photo

I used a kit called Simply Irresistable by Digital Design Essentials and I based this layout on a template of Chrissy W's from her template set McTurtlicious.



Layout #8 Change up this template by Christie Lemmon.

For this layout, I used the kit called Kaylee's Kaleidoscope by Flergs.

My First 4 layouts for the Fall Scrap-a-Thon

Ok, so Digital Candy is having a Scrap-a-thon. Basically, you have to scrap 8 layouts in 3 days with specific, yet simple, instuctions to follow.

Layout #1, Use 2 Black and white photos and some kind of Sparkle.

Kit is called Penelope by Flergs. Template by Colie's Corner.


Layout #2, Scraplift something from Rachel's Gallery.

Kit is called Cottage Chic by Flergs.


Layout #3, Use a photo in a shape other than square.

Kit is called Cold as Ice by the Sweet Tart Team at DC. Template by Pencil Lines.


Layout #4, Use a One word title and atleast one crumpled or worn element.

Kit is called Foxymoron by Tara Dunstan Designs. Worn overlays by Something Blue Studios.




And, if you are wondering why I am doing this. It's because there is prizes involved and who doesn't want some prizes! Honestly, you should check it out. It's tons of fun!

2 new and very different layouts

Both of these layouts have photos that were taken over the past 2 days. As you can tell I am not a chronological scrapper at all. The first one is from October 30th. I used a yin template and a kit from Elemental Scraps called Too Cute to Spook by Jennifer Barrette and Sweet Digi Scraps.



This next layout is one that I whipped together quickly today using one of my new purchases from Digital Design Essentials called Penelope. The template is a freebie from Colie's Corner.



Happy Digital Scrapbooking Day!!
