My Biggest Treasure

Once in awhile, one of my designer friends makes an absolutely beautiful kit that I cannot find a photo that is appropriate for the subject. This is one of those times. Design by Heather T. came out with a gorgeous kit called Mermaid Dreams.

The colors were inspiring, and quite honestly, it took me awhile to find the right photo to scrap. However, I am quite pleased with the results.

So much fun to pull out one of my favorite photos ever and use it with Heather's kit!

Goodbye 2016

Ninigoesdigi's first kit of the year, Tsubaki, is one I loved on sight. I think it was the red accents that drew me in. With the help of a template from Designed by Soco, I ended up creating a page that even surprised me, lol.

Here's a look at Tsubaki:

I found a simple template from Designed by Soco in my stash and set to work creating this:

There are some days when I surprise myself with what happens on my computer screen. :)

It's All About "I"

A new year. Once again, I'm trying to get back into the scrapping swing since somewhere along the way last year, life got so darn busy that there were other things that took precedence. Call it life. 

I did a layout yesterday, when the Month of Challenges kicked off at The Lilypad. It turned out just fine, especially since I was trying to flex my scrapping fingers and get the creative juices flowing. Whenever I've taken a big break, I usually have to pull out a template to get me started. 

Today, however, I couldn't find a template that would work for me. The challenge was to scrap about a letter that was significant to me. Figuring out which of the 26 letters of the alphabet to use was the hard part. I selected the letter "i" for my focus. 

Why the letter "i"? Well, take a look at my page...

There were some other guidelines for the challenge, but they weren't as important as the subject itself. I used this page as a "resolution" to myself. Let's hope that I can try to keep the momentum going in 2017!
