Crazy 4U

Bree of Scrap'It Designs has a new collection in her store today, and I am kinda in love with it!! ;)

I love the mix of neutral and bright colors. This collection is huge, and a real bargain! I am totally in love with this page I made!

It came together in no time! This collection makes it really easy to whip up a page, since you don't have to go looking for anything else, there's so much variety in it!

Free Kit by Scrap'It Designs

After opening her store at Digital Scrapbooking Studio last week (and the 50% off sale is still going on!!), Scrap'It Designs wants to celebrate with a freebie! So make sure you like the Scrap'It Designs page on Facebook to download the elements, and stop by Bree's blog to grab the papers!

I had so much fun using it! As soon as I saw that playing card, I knew I'd be using it prominently on my page. And here's what I did:

Yikes, I am SO ready for the weekend to arrive (and it's a long weekend too, yay!). I was not feeling well today.. in fact, I had to go lie down at 4 pm because I was feeling awful! I have been working too much this week, and I need some rest!
Anyway, I will be posting my next Project Life page this weekend, so that's something nice to look forward to. :)

Exciting news!!

Brianna Cox of Scrap'It Designs has opened up her store at Digital Scrapbooking Studio, and everything is 50% off!

   

ETA: and here's my page using this collection! There are so many things in this collection that it can fit to so many scrapbooking styles!

Circus Fun!

I have scrapped these pages about a month ago, and was waiting to share them when the kit was in the store, so here goes, finally:

I love this kit by Scrap'it Designs! It is so versatile and fun! I used it to scrap my favorite picture from my mom's visit.

And then I made a photo-less page.

I'm sorry for not being able to share the journaling, since I'm talking about other people, but let me say that scrapping this page was very therapeutic!

Done with Day One!

Bree's new kit is in the store, so I can show you the latest pages I've been scrapping. This kit is so pretty!

Check out all the sample LOs in the store, they are all just gorgeous! And they really made me want to scrap with this kit. So, here goes!

Journaling:

We tried out the new furniture and torches right away, having an aperitif on the deck. It was lovely! We accomplished a lot today and now we deserve some relax!

Journaling:

Tonight we had a BBQ, and everything was so delicious! DH baked some bread, and we had our first corn on the cob of the season, from Florida: it was the sweetest I’ve ever eaten! Then we had a piece of wagyu meat because we wanted my mom to try it. Yum!

Hooray! I have finished scrapping day one! :-) Off to scrap the rest of the trip now! ;)

Enjoying the Long Weekend

I have really enjoyed the long Memorial weekend. I haven't accomplished much, but it always feels good to take some time off. I have scrapped some more pages about my mom's visit. I made two with Bree's latest kit, and I'm making some more with her soon-to-be-released kit, so look for those in a few days. :)

Journaling:

After buying garden furniture at BB&B (finally!) and some shoes and clothes at Marshalls, we headed to the Christmas Tree Shop. We love that store and we ended up buying a lot of cheap items, and my mom found a few gifts to bring back home to her friends. I thought it was fun how long the receipt looked! :) Then we went grocery shopping and headed back home to eat sushi.

So far I've been scrapping chronologically and making pages that coordinate in pairs so I can put then in an album (whenever that may be...).

Journaling:

Go figure: the garden furniture set we bought was missing pieces and was just impossible to put together. So we went to exchange it, and luckily the second time around everything worked just fine. Mom and DH put the pieces together in no time. Finally, after three years, we will be able to enjoy our lovely deck this summer!

I've done 6 pages, and I'm only on day one out of seventeen!! ;)

New Photo Actions

Bree of Scrap'It designs has been working on some new photo actions, and they are pretty neat!

Here's a quick example I ran.

Pretty neat, huh? ;) And then there's this new pack out today (it's 25% for a week, so grab it quick!):

There's a sharpening action and a save for web action, both super easy and quick! Here's my example:

I LOVE this picture! And I am also loving my new (now 4 weeks old) lens! ;)

iNSD and Other Designer News

With all the excitement for my mother's visit, I forgot to post last week's Project 52 Cards picture:

You can see the Week 18 card here.

This isn't the best time of the year to have your mom come visit, with iNSD and all the fun activities in the digital scrapbooking world... Of course I am delighted that my mom is here and don't regret a thing, so I'll have to sit out on all of the digi fun and catch up later. It has only been 6 days since I made the last few cards (one is in the post below, and watch out for the other two in the next couple of days ;) ), but I am itching to create already! :) But in the meantime I can show you all the goodies my fabulous designers have created. Mari Koegelenberg has an amazing new kit out today:

I seriously cannot wait to scrap with it!!!!! It has the right combination of vintage/classic feel, gorgeous patterns and bright colors: right up my alley! She also has a coordinating grab bag:

It is such an amazing deal! Check out the previews in the store to see what's included. Mari's papers are so gorgeous for hybrid too, with rich textures and pretty patterns. I can't wait to use these products! :)

I am also very excited to tell you that Brianna Cox of Scrap'It Designs is back to designing after a break. She was the first designer who picked me as a CT member and I can't wait to see what she creates in the next few months! She has already started with this gorgeous new kit:

It is so pretty! I see myself making a few crazy clustering pages with this kit. :) AND, there's more: Bree is having a CT call:

She is so sweet and being on her team is lots of fun, so do apply! I will be back tomorrow to show you some more iNSD products and drool a bit. ;)

Blue Horizon

It has been several months since Bree came out with a new kit, but she finally did, and it's soooo pretty!

All the blue was perfect to scrap this picture of DH from last Friday. ;)

This page came together in no time, but then it took me forever to decide where to place the journaling!! I tried it under the picture, to the side.. I ended up putting it in the opposite corner. I'm sure the LO would have looked much prettier without journaling, but I had quite the story to tell! ;)
And then I made another page, because I just loved the tree element and the branch, and had to use them!

And this kit is 20% off until April 3, so make sure you grab it quick! ;)

and the other uses Softest Touch:

I'm in love with these 2 kits, especially with that glitter!!

Softest Touch

Bree has a new kit in the store and I have to say it is GORGEOUS!! If you're a regular visitor of this blog and have seen my work, you know I almost always scrap in bold, bright colors. But this kit really inspired me. It's superbly sweet and romantic!
I present you, Softest Touch:


and this morning during breakfast :) I made this page with it:

What a nice way to start the day, playing with such a gorgeous kit!
Check out that alpha because it's fabulous!! It's beautiful and super complete (upper, lower, numbers and lots of symbols that usually aren't there- like the # that I always use for my monthiversary pages ;) )!

She's back!!!!!!!

Yessssssssssss!!! Bree is back to designing!!!!! She's taken a break over the past few months because she opened up a very nice store, Digiridoo Scraps, which has also a great forum, with friendly people, fun challenges and great tutorials! It's really a nice, drama free place and I recommend you check it out!
Now that the new place is up and running, she's back into designing and has 2 gorgeous new products!

First off, Basic Instincts, a kit that's packed with all those basic elements you always need when making a page - you'll be using this kit over and over again! Plus, the neutral colors work great for any theme - and they're great for recoloring too.


There's also a super fun glitter pack, Glitterazzi vol. 1, which comes with great recoloring instructions!


I played with both and made this pretty little page, I really love how it came together!

Welcome back, Bree!! ;)

Sunset Pictures

It took me a few tries, but I think I finally mastered sunset pictures.

Saturday evening we had a fabulous sunset here and I took some pictures. I wasn't planning to scrap them because I always find it hard to scrap a gorgeous landscape picture, but I tried it out and I found some papers that really matched and enhanced the pictures. I'm very pleased with the result!

Monthiversary #21

Thursday DH and I had our little adventure in the city: we took the bus to go to a fancy restaurant, had a lovely dinner with wine pairing, and got a cab to get back home (no drink&drive for us!).

It was a lovely, lovely evening. We took some pictures at the restaurant but since I brought my big camera I didn't trust to have a picture of us taken (the light was really low - candlelight! - and I was pretty sure nothing good would turn out if we had the picture taken by someone who doesn't know the camera). So, once we got home and put on our PJs ready to go to bed, we took a few timed shots on the sofa. Here's one of the cutest.

I love how the paper I picked for this week matches the photo of DH and I and I plan to do a LO just with that picture, using this kit. :)
