This has been a very cold winter so far. I don’t mind, because the cold doesn’t bother me nearly as much as heat, and I love snow, but it has been pretty cold. The coldest since we’ve been living here. So I had to make a page. 🙂
Have a nice day!
The number of paper scrapbooking blogs in my blog roll is steadily increasing, and I find myself drawing more and more inspiration from traditional scrapbooking. This week I was really inspired by this layout by Jen Jockish. So when I saw Jenn Barrette’s new release I immediately knew what to do with it.
This paper pack is a basic must-have for digital scrapbookers. But guess what? It is great for hybrid too. Check it out!
Rolling the paper was quite fun, and therapeutic too. I thought a bit while I was doing it and it did me good! 🙂 Paper is probably my favorite part of digital kits, and I just loved picking out all the pretty papers I used for this card!
ETA 2/23: I got a Hybrid Gallery Standout at Sweet Shoppe Designs for this card! 😉
I started out by making this card, using about a gazillion pretty papers from several of Jenn’s kits. And then I liked it so much that I went back and made another one just using all the pretty colors in the kraft paper pack.
I will write a sentiment on the card, but since I’m not particularly fond of my handwriting, I didn’t want to risk spoiling it, so I took pictures before that. 🙂
Yum!
ETA: I got a gallery standout at Me So Scrappy for this card.
A couple of years I got into making cupcakes. I made only three batches after I lost interest (I’m very proud of how my cupcakes turned out, but making them is quite a bit of work, and I’d rather spend time paper crafting. 🙂 ) So when I saw Jenn Barrette’s contribution to the February BYOC (Build Your Own Collab) at The Lily Pad, I knew just what I’d use it for.
Isn’t this mini kit just adorable? So I made an adorable album about the cupcakes I made.
I used stickles to add sparkle and glossy accents for the title.
Beads to make sprinkles.
I colored some white flowers by Prima with worn lipstick distress ink (same color I used to ink all the edges).
A mix of digital flowers and real flowers. The ribbon from the kit is so cute!
Sooooo pretty! 😉
There’s a great birthday sale going on at the Sweet Shoppe, and all of Jenn Barrette’s store is 35% off for a week! And guess what? She has a new kit today, a birthday kit nonetheless!! 😀
Isn’t this the best birthday kit ever?!? I am in love with it! Luckily, I had some birthday pictures yet to scrap: I hadn’t scrapped these because ALL the pictures DH took of me on my last birthday are really crappy. Yuck. However, thanks to a few photo actions I was able to salvage this pic. Yay! 🙂
I am so happy: a week ago I bought online a gorgeous new duvet cover; it arrived this week and we just put it on our bed. It is gorgeous! And now I get to get crafty today with some crafty supplies I bought online. Hmmm, yes, I might have gone a bit crazy with online shopping lately… 😉 Well, as long as DH doesn’t complain… 😀
Jenn Barrette has a new collab out today (20% off!) with ScrapKitchen Designs:
Seriously, the preview doesn’t do this kit justice, because it is soooo pretty! The papers are to die for, and the elements are adorable – let me say just this: doilies!
I used it to make another 2 pager for my P365:
Yeah, I kind of see myself doing an all-Jenn P365, with the rhythm of new kits she’s been putting out lately! 🙂
Jenn Barrette is on fire this month! Today she has 2 new collab kits out at the Lilypad, and they’re both just amazing (and 20% off right now, which never hurts!)! First off, a collab with Val Wibbens:
I made this fun card with it:
Next this all-adorable robot love kit with Jenna Desai:
Isn’t this the cutest robot couple ever? Hehe! 😉
And, believe it or not, Jenn has another kit coming out tomorrow at the Sweet Shoppe, so be prepared for more cuteness! 🙂
A dear friend of ours is fighting with stage IV pancreatic cancer. She has kept her good spirits and she has been a true inspiration throughout this journey. Her sons have started collecting memories about her and have turned to family and friends to ask everyone to share a memory or two about Peggy. So I did what I know best: I scrapped a page with a few memories of mine.
We hope she has still many months with us, but in the meantime it’s nice to just celebrate the gift of having her with us.
Are you ready for some sweeeeeetness?? Jenn Barrette has teamed up with Shawna Clingerman to create this adorable kit, new today and 20% off:
Here’s the page I did with it:
Gosh, I really love this kit. The papers are fantastic – the textures are unbelievable! – and the elements oh-so-cute!
New year, new decisions… In 2009 I did Project 365, and I loved it. Last year I started it again, but fell off the wagon. This year, I am committed to doing it again. I love my 2009 books and want to keep at it. To make things easier for me, I have decided to keep in multiple pictures for every day. My P365 isn’t about taking a good picture each day: it’s about writing my life, so I will use as many pictures as I see fit. I might get bored of scrapping so many pictures throughout the year, so we’ll see how it goes, but the first 2 weeks have been fun so far. 🙂
I got a Twitter LOTD (layout of the day) at DST (DigiShopTalk) with this page! 🙂
For Week 2 I used a beautiful new collab by Jenn Barrette and Lauren Grier, which was just perfect:
Having spent most of December away from home, my creating habits have been thrown off a bit. It is so good to be home! This week I was able to sneak in a little time to be crafty and use my Silhouette. I had missed it during the holidays! 🙂
Jenn Barrette’s today’s new release at The LilyPad was just screaming ‘hybrid’ to me!
Isn’t this kit just adorable?? The patterns are so unique, and all the phone elements are too cute for words! And the best part is that it’s 30% off for the weekend!
So here’s what my Silhouette and I made:
And the fun part is that the dial spins for real! 😉
I just love the paper I used for the back of the card:
And here’s the inside:
ETA: I got a GSO for this card! (it’s my 1st hybrid GSO!)
Now check out what else Jenn has in her Sweet Shoppe store today, 20% off:
I have already cut some bits and pieces for a card, so look out for that soon.
I have lots of stuff to do this weekend: we bought some shelves and we need to set them up; I also really have to take pictures of my Dec. Daily album (it would be high time for that, huh??)! 🙂
