The news is that I created my first 2 QPs, with Bree’s new kit Lavender Mint-Berry Cream, and they will soon be available for you, along with some other gorgeous QPs by the Scrap’it Girls! 🙂 Just be patient and wait a couple of days.. 😉

A Lift

I did a LO for the scraplifting challenge at ScrapMatters (it’s called Grand Theft Layout 🙂 ).
We had to lift our choice of LO by kkklatt, and I picked this beauty here.

Here’s my lift:

ScrapOrchard is having a CT contest.

For the first assignment, we were provided a (very cute!!) kit and had to create 2 layouts.

Here’s what I did:

I don’t know how many people will pass to the 2nd round, nor do I know how long the process is to get into the CT.. Anyway, since I love SO and I love challenges, I’m doing my best to stay in till the end! 😉

What a Day!

| cristina

I scrapped one more LO!

I believe this is the last one I manage to do for the October challenges at ScrapMatters.
Overall, I’m happy with myself: I did 14 challenges (4 of which hybrid), for a total of 21 points.
Still, I’m sorry I didn’t have time to do some challenges..
We’ll see how next month goes! 🙂
I did this for a Tuesday Template challenge.

Doing the mini-bucket with this kit made me want to use more of it! 🙂

Shadow Work

| cristina

I scrapped a page about our picnic (it was only 2 weeks ago, but the weather has changed a lot since then: we had the first snowflakes! and now lots and lots of rain..) today.

I have a few more pretty pictures about it so I will do 1 or 2 more pages.
I did this one for the 10.07.08 Tuesday Template at ScrapMatters.
I worked a lot on the shadows. Up to now, I always used the preset drop shadows in Photoshop Elements, but from now on I decided to create the shadows from scratch for each elements. I think it really pays!

Inspiration Challenge

I did another challenge at Sugarplum Paperie’s blog. We had to find an ad and use it as an inspiration.
I searched the net for an inspiring ad and I found this totally gorgeous one:


and here’s the LO I created:

Another LO!

| cristina

I’m feeling inspired this evening! 🙂

Here’s a LO I did for the 10.04.08 Saturday Special challenge at ScrapMatters, on selective coloring. It’s a technique I use quite often, especially for pictures that did not turn out very well (here‘s an example).
I love the expression DH has in this picture, but the background of our kitchen was pretty distracting, so the selective coloring worked out just perfect.

Waaaaay Behind!

| cristina

DH came back from a 10 day trip this week so I’m way behind with my scrapping projects!!
I haven’t even started my CT work for Bree yet and this says it all! Way way behind!! 🙁
I’m really glad that with the new challenge system at ScrapMatters we have the whole month to work on the challenges, even if these are posted weekly!

I did complete one project this week though and it took a long time too! It’s for the Everyday Magic challenge hosted by Britt at SM, but I also did this for the blog challenge at Sugarplum Paperie.
Tuesday I brought my camera with me and documented my whole day. I love the pictures I took!!

October Flowers

I took some pictures yesterday of the gorgeous flowers in our garden so today I scrapped a LO for the “In Living Color” Challenge at ScrapMatters. We had to use a palette with fall colors.

I always have problems scrapping when I have beautiful pictures that really don’t need scrapping to be bettered. But I’m happy with how this turned out!
I’m loving the stuff that came in Britt’s grab bag for ScrapMatter’s 1st birthday. Those beads have endless uses!!
