PillowGirl's Live In Color Sampler

This one is a layout using Pillowgirl's Live in Color, that she was giving away through Digiscrap Discounts. The name of the font is Clementine Sketch, and Fmiring Campotype. I really love the DaFont site, freebies and samples what could be better?

SJ Towers CT Call

Stacey Towers is having a CT Call, I'm submitting these pages for her consideration. The Plum Pudding kit is an amazing collection that reminded me of my bis sister and her lifetime love of purple.
One more of my Uncle Bruce.

Freestyle Challenge at

This layout is for the Freestyle Challenge (Jan 09) at Stone Accent Studios hosted by Toiny of PiggyScraps. (I really like her stuff and she has great posting bonus's and freebies on her blog.) This month's challenge was to use multiple pictures in the layout and she provided the frame as inspiration to get us started. Well I loved the frame so much I used it to frame out some pictures of my inlaw's place again, to eventually make a desktop background for my husband.

Gotta Pixel Challenge Week 4

The fourth challenge at Gotta Pixel was to go crazy with Sarah Burger's Sweet Couture Scrapkit. The font is called: Eutemia 1.

For this challenge I dug up the pictures of the land at my in-law's that we would like to build a house on someday. I took the grid out of the window provided in the kit because I think it made it too hard to see out of the window, made too much white on the page and was hard to look at. I also used the floral print to make curtains with some extractions and skewing the shape to look folded. Like the last challenge we could use actions, shadows, things like that so I copied the shapes I needed shadows on and darkened the layers and played with placement to give it a more realistic look. I like to use drop shadows, it just gives it a finished look to me.

Gotta Pixel's "Play With Your Pixels" Challenge

This is the third challenge in Gotta Pixel's challenges to find a new CT member.

I chose to make my darling Raskal the subject, the challenge was to use "white space." Something I'm not that good at, I like to use lots of pictures, I guess it's the cheapskate in me (yah know gotta get my money's worth.) But I think I did well on this one. I got several nice comments from other Gotta Pixel members. Which is expecially nice when you're new to this.

The kit, Snuggle Up was provided by Sarah Meyer. I enjoyed playing with the elements and even unraveled the sweater background from the kit and joined it to the string element provided. (I have to say I was quite proud of myself for that.) The kit designer even made a comment that she liked the unraveling bit! Wow!

The font in the tag is BottleRocket BB.

Digitals "It's Only Words Challenge" Jan '09

My entry for the Digitals "It's Only Words Challenge" last month (Jan 09) hosted by Kathryn Estry. My youngest got ahold of my camera while we were on a short road trip to Two Harbors, and away he snapped. Thank goodness it's a digital camera, he took over a 100 pictures. Mostly of himself (so he could see it in the preview) and his feet. But I just think they are the cutest!
