My Journal

You know, I have to say that being on the Creative Teams that I am is an awful lot of fun!  You never know what the designers will create next and then I get to play.  :)  This time, Marta van Eck has made an art journal style kit called My Journal.  You can find it at Deviant Scrap.  She has a wonderful variety of elements and papers included to help spark your imagination.

I was inspired to make three layouts because I felt the first two were kind of similar and I didn’t want to ignore the other parts of the kit.

Posh Pup

I had to do some rearranging on my hard drive to make everything fit recently, and I ran across this cute kit while I was at it.  I’ve had it since the middle of last year and forgot to make a page with it!  So here I am to remedy that situation.  :)  Posh Pup by Psychozoe Designs is a dog-themed kit, but you can use it for some really stunning romance layouts, too.  I would recommend creating some of each!

Here’s my fanciful page.  I’m not sure how well I pulled this off, but I always admire pages where the scrap artist has exaggerated the size of some of the ellies.

Well, we really got blasted yesterday and last night with a fresh dose of winter here!  I’m not complaining though—the forecast for the middle of next week is in the 50s (F).  I hope your weekend is relaxing!

I’m Like a Bird

Are you ready for Spring yet?  I sure am!  We’ve been getting teased with spring-like weather one day and then winter returning the next around here.  For a delicious taste of Spring, head on over to 7th Heaven and take a look at the store collab they have available in pieces by each designer.  They’re only $2.50 each and the collection is called I’m Like a Bird.  Here is MDesigns’ portion:

Here’s my page that I decided to call “Dream Garden.”

Yay, tomorrow’s Friday!  This week seems a little long for me, probably because we had a short school week last week.  Have a great weekend!!

Reading Under the Stars & Wordart Freebie!

Have you ever had a school reading event that involved sleeping under the stars?  I haven’t and neither have my kids, but it sure does sound cool, doesn’t it?  Psychozoe Designs made this cool kit for Gingerscraps Buffet this month for all of your reading and star-related layouts.  It’s called Reading Under the Stars and it’s only $1 per piece through March 5.

This next photo I believe was taken in Wisconsin, but unfortunately it’s not mine.  I did see Northern Lights once since we moved here, but I was driving my daughter home from sport practice at the time.  (It was winter, so it was dark already.)

I made this wordart for you from my layout using the matching alpha.
