Just a little layout using digital products from the November Daily Digi Files. I love these special monthly kits. This was created for their reader challenge. I was limited to very specific products and a template, so here you have it!
Hello Pretty!
I've got a freebie for you today, for my digital scrapbooking friends. I haven't done this in awhile so I hope you like it.
Fun with ScrapMatters
Here are some more layouts I made using products from the digital designers at ScrapMatters. I just love this store.
I had fun with this layout. I wrapped the rope through the title letters, which helps them look more realistic, the way I would use them on a paper layout. This is done in Photoshop by making a duplicate layer of your rope or ribbon, one on top and one underneath your letters or other objects. Then you use your eraser tool to remove parts of the top ribbon that should be underneath. Sometimes getting the shadows just right is a bit tricky, but its worth the effort.

I love this layout because I got so many photos from Isabella's time at camp. We get these photos from her camera that she takes with her as well as from the camp itself. They take lots of photos every day, post them online, then we can order prints, which I order digitally of course! LOL. This camp is a big part of Isabella's summer and I love seeing her smiling face, even if its from afar!

This layout speaks for itself. So glad I finally journaled these thoughts.

Kid's College is a great summer program run by a local community college. They have classes all day for kids K-8th grade. Its held at a local high school which makes my girl feel very grown up. She took all sorts of classes, some educational and some just fun.

ScrapMatters is cool
I got to play with a bunch of product from ScrapMatters, thanks to Scrap N'Art magazine. Here's some of my layouts with credits and some ideas for your next layouts.

This layout was an exercise in blending. The original photo was taken by the staff at our local water park and had a water park logo in the corner and all sorts of lame computer framing. I didn't want any of that in my layout. The photo was also extremely overexposed because of the bright sunlight and the blue water. Using my blending options in Photoshop, I blended the photo with the background paper from the kit and then used my eraser tool to eliminate the edges of my photo. I think it turned out great and this one will definitely be in our 2009 album.

This one was fun to make. I had a lot of photos with green backgrounds. I need to be sure they were seen against my background so I added a white border to each photo. I also added a lot of stitching to this one simply because I love the look of stitching on scrapbook pages.
There are LOTS of layouts using product from ScrapMatters in the new issue of Scrap N'Art magazine. In fact, every issue is packed full of over 100 pages of inspirational projects, tutorials and product reviews. Go grab a subscription and join in on the fun!
Good Stuff.
I took some time out yesterday to play with some digital goodies. It's been awhile and it felt really good to create some layouts from some of my favorite photos. I created these layouts with kits from Tami Miller and Kim Gehring. I'm on their CT now and am loving the new goodies that are creating. I also created these for the challenges at Inspiration Lane, which are very cool and a lot of fun.
This first layout was created for the Ad Sketch Challenge. We had to use a specific ad, it was a film festival poster, as inspiration. I used Tami Miller's beautiful kit, Serenity Fields, for this one.
The mock wedding was fun. The synagogue does this each year with the fourth graders which felt a little odd, but when I thought about it... they are young enough for it to NOT mean anything other than a chance to dress up, but old enough to understand the traditions and the various parts of the ceremony. Isabella informed us she was divorced, before she even made it to the reception! Although she did agree to have her picture taken with her newly divorced un-groom. It was a fun morning.
This photo of my husband resting on a bench was taken at the zoo last year. I like how the sun was in his eyes through the trees and he really was quite peaceful. I used Kim Gehring's Hippie Chick to create this layout, and I used it for the Playing with Numbers Challenge, which pushed me to be super minimalist by only allowing a certain number of items/elements on the page.
I encourage you to check out Tami and Kim's kits, they are really beautiful. AND to check out the digital challenges at Inspiration Lane, there is something for everyone!
