Oh how I love fall! I love to scrap fall too. And the newest collection by Digital Design Essentials makes me so happy!
This is a steal at only $4.99! Here’s what I made.
Sweater weather indeed! The picture is from last weekend, when it was chilly but sunny – my favorite kind of weather!
I have a hybrid/paper page to share today, made with a bunch of digital products by Ali Edwards. I love how by using the digital elements I can start my design in Photoshop, so all of the guesswork is taken out of the assembly part.
I created the background using a combination of digital stamps, and printed it out on American Crafts 8.5″x11″ card stock. Then I added my photos, a couple pieces of paper cut to fit one of the diamonds in the background, and some embellishments.
I couldn’t resist painting that word bubble to make it look like a pumpkin! 🙂 I love how this page turned out.
Mari Koegelenberg has a new collab in the store.. and I love the organic feel of it!
Fall is such a pretty season.. and so many awesome photo opportunities! 🙂 Here’s a photo I took last weekend.
Have a good weekend! I most definitely have some crafty plans, I need to relax after a super stressful week. 🙂
Hello and happy Friday! I’ve been quiet around here lately.. just dealing with a couple emergencies at work. But I have two three pages to share made with the new Mixed Media Monthly collaboration and add ons at the Lilypad!
This was so much fun to play with! I especially found the background papers amazing.. All my pages were inspired by the backgrounds in the kit.
We did a couple of outings last weekend and I got some great shots.. this is one of them. Can’t wait to scrap the rest (pumpkin patch anyone??)! 🙂
A picture from our trip to Chicago at the end of September. Seriously, I would never get tired of that view.. breathtaking!
ETA: and yay, this page made Gallery Standout! 😉
This is a last minute page I made last night.. Once again, using one of the amazing background papers in the kit. I’m in love!
I have some super exciting news to share. I joined the new Digital Creative Team for Ali Edwards!
I am super excited and can’t wait to start creating!
I am so inspired by the new BYOC (Build Your Own Collab) at The Lilypad! These colors are soooo pretty.
I had very little time this week, yet I scrapped these four pages in one day.. so yeah I guess that I was indeed inspired by these lovely products! 😉
Pumpkin spice latte = fall for me for sure! Yummy..
This one is probably my favorite page of this bunch. I just love these warm colors.
This adorable bear was perfect for me to tell this story! I used one of the elements to create a distressed mask to blend my photo in the background.
And now.. the weekend may commence (OK.. one more day)! And I definitely need it after a rocky work week this week *sigh*.
I do have some good news to share in the next few days
The BYOC is 20% off through the weekend. Do yourself a favor and get this alpha… it plain ROCKS!
The new October stash kit by creashens is too cute for words!
Perfect to scrap this photo of me at Starbucks this past weekend. 🙂
Come back tomorrow for more fall scrapbook inspiration! 🙂
The end of summer / early fall is such a lovely time of the year. I am savoring it.
Today I want to share the page I made for the October write.click.scrapbook gallery. The theme was “scraps”, so I used up some products I had in my stash, namely the September BYOC from The Lilypad. The October BYOC is being released this Friday, so I was happy to get another page done before that.
Just a quick post to tell you about the weekly 50% off sale on select products at The Lilypad. I made a page with some of them.
This kit was perfect for me to document something that I rarely ever document: what we’re watching on TV. 🙂
Yay! It’s mixed media monthly time! Or M3 for short. 🙂 This is only the second month of this new product offering from The Lilypad, and I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised both times by how much inspiration I get from these products. I am not a messy mixed media artist / art journaler, but I absolutely love all the projects I have made with the M3!
So how does this work? A new kit is released the 3rd Friday of the month. The subscription is only $7.99 per month, which includes the M3 kit, 50% off all add-ons and access to a private M3 subscribers forum with challenges and tutorials (including some tips from me!).
The designers are Just Jaimee, Little Butterfly Wings, Lynne-Marie and Quirky Heart. The M3 kit is a collaboration, and then each designer also has three individual add ons. I used these ones by Lynne-Marie:
Last month I made two hybrid layouts and 2 digi pages. This month, instead, I was inspired to make a hybrid mini album. This all came together very quickly Wednesday evening, in approximately 2 hours, and I am so thrilled with how it turned out!! The design part (done on the computer) took me 1.5 hours (this includes designing several cards for some pages of the mini album, while I also used ready made cards that are in the kit and add ons for other pages. I just love to give my own twist to things.), and another half hour to assemble the album.
I started by designing the card that became the cover, and that’s how I got the idea to make a little album. All the pages were printed out on Canon matte photo paper.
I placed a black/white photo on each spread, and then have room to add my journaling on the side.
I also printed out some digital elements to add on top of my pages.
This is probably my favorite spread in the album – the paper on the right is gorgeous!!
The theme of this album is this summer, so I picked a few of my favorite photos of my husband and me taken over the last few months.
The photos were printed on Canon glossy photo paper.
I bound the little book using blue masking tape and some sewing.
I hope you enjoyed this little project!
