Angelica

The beginning of a new month brings about a new Memory Mix at Mscraps! This month, Blue Flower Art has the soft and sweet collection called Angelica. Each portion of the collection is $1 - $2. You can own the whole collection for just $6!

Here's a closer look at the elements, patterned papers, and the embossed paper packs 1 and 2:

As you can see, although the colors are feminine, by no means is it meant only for girly creations. Pick up the Angelica collection during the special Memory Mix for September!

Butterfly, Fly Away...

It is almost the end of summer, and I don't recall seeing many butterflies this year. But, with the new Pretty Dutch Butterfly pack from Pretty Dutch Designs, I can have butterflies whenever I want!

Fly away with these packs at less than $1.50 each through Sunday!

Empowerment Challenge

Confession: I have not scrapped in weeks.

Why? Because I have been trying to keep my real life running, so something had to fall off my priority list. I discovered there's a dangerous side to not digiscrapping on a regular basis - forgetting how to use PhotoShop! ;)

As I was trying to create the page below, I found myself having to scroll through the menus, trying to remember where to find the appropriate functions, like shadowing an element. Let's just say that the page took me a LOT longer than I thought!

However, the reason behind creating this page was for the Get Real Challenge #15 at Real Life Scrapped. The theme for this round is "Empowerment." And, with the help of Studio Unica's Empowerment freebie, how can you not be inspired? 

And here is Studio Unica's freebie for participating:

Participation is really easy - just post a page, a photo, or even some journaling on the post at Real Life Scrapped, and you receive the freebie upon the close of the challenge. So simple! So get on over there and join us!
