I'm not dead... I swear

2008-11-25T23:16:00.000-08:00

You know when life just gets so crazy and out of hand that something's gotta give? I guess that's digital scrapbook designing for me right now- I'd like to keep doing my own pages and posting those, but I've yet to find the balance to enable the designing- maybe with my parents here this week I'll have a little extra time to sneak away and play with my computer.

Make your blog all snazzy!

2008-08-19T17:11:00.001-07:00

I got an email from a great gal- Allie- who wanted to know if she could use my digital kits to create free blog backgrounds for people's personal use- and I said, "Go for it!" Much to my surprise she already has 4 great blog backers up on her site- go check it out and snag one for your own blog- both of her current backgrounds are ones she made using my kits! http://alliebrownslayouts.blogspot.com/.

Also, I'm currently working on a new freebie to go along with my Audrey kit, I'm putting together a few quickpages for you to download, so be sure to check back in the next few days!

New Kit- Audrey

2008-08-11T20:21:00.000-07:00

So, some of you may have been lucky enough to pick up my little Audrey mini-kit when I gave it away as a freebie participation gift over at ScrapMatters. It was a hit! I have seen so many darling layouts with it, I decided to add a bunch more paper and elements to make it a full blown Digital Scrap Kit- simply named, Audrey! It turned out pretty darn girly, but I've seen some cute little boy layouts done with it too- wanna see it?

Meet my newest addition- Audrey!

I was thrilled with the way the whole kit turned out, but I especially love the big glittery brackets and cool journaling items. Here's a preview of just the papers (since I always have a hard time seeing them with all of the elements in the previews).

You can go pick Audrey up in the ScrapMatters.com store here for 30% off during the big ScrapMatters new store opening sale! And as always, I've played with the kit myself a bit, to make sure everything is well-balanced for my customers! Here're a few sample pages!

ScraMatters New Store and huge sale!

2008-07-18T21:04:00.000-07:00

Hi guys! I've just finished Stella- and had so much fun with this one! It brought back all sorts of fun memories of digging through my mom's boxes filled with all sorts of fabulous scrap fabrics from the 60's and 70's- Oh how I wish she still had those boxes around! Here's the preview of Stella:

and here's where you can find it in the ScrapMatters shop:

http://scrapmatters.com/shop2/index.php?main_page=product_dnld_info&products_id=535

It has so many great elements and papers, I loved playing with the textures on this one. Here are a few pages I made while playing with my kit-

To celebrate the new kit- I've created this cute little mini-freebie for you-

ScrapMatters SpeedScrap

2008-06-25T01:19:00.000-07:00

I participated in another speed scrap tonight- There were the 7 rules, each given at 10 minute intervals, and then we had another hour to finish our layouts before they needed to be posted- here are the rules:

1. Pick 2-3 pictures, black & white or color, and arrange them in a line or a grid. That's kind of two instructions for the price of one. It was hard to get it down to seven total directions!
2. Pick your background paper—it needs to be black or very dark brown or very dark blue. It can be plain or patterned.
3. Place your pictures on your paper and stitch them down. You read it right—they must be stitched down. I don’t care how much stitching, but every picture has to have at least one stitch on it.
4. Title—Your title must contain two words and only two words. You can use a font or an alpha or a combination of the two.
5. Elements—Whatever elements you choose to use, must be tucked part way under at least one of the pictures. No floating elements!
6. Almost there—now use a definition to define one of the words in your title. It should also pertain to your layout—the dictionary is fine. It can be word art or just text.
7. Last one! For this LO you can’t add any real journaling, just your definition and names of people in the pictures and the date. Of course what you do with it after the speed scrap is up to you! But your definition should really cover most of it.

and here's what I came up with:

I guess I'm liking the bracket thing lately-

Stitches from All in Stitches by Britt-ish Designs, everything else from Gypsy Song by me- Suzie Belle Designs.

There's another speed scrap set for 10am Pacific time on 6/26- you should try it out and see how fun it is!

2008-05-28T13:12:00.000-07:00

The more I scrap, the more I find that I really do love the simpler scrap pages with clean lines and white space- maybe it's because I'm so left-brained, but I've been definitely leaning more that way of late. I love my good friend and old roommate Amy's pages because they are just that- you can see her stuff on my sidebar under Amy's Crop Room. Anyways, I scraplifted this layout from her Thanksgiving '07 and I absolutely love it! (Thanks Amy for being my inspiration!)

(Gypsy Song kit by Suzie Belle Designs)

Here's another lift I did from a page I saw in a recent magazine, I really wish I would have written it down, but I didn't, so if you happen to recognize it- let me know!

2008-05-26T09:31:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to let you all know that ScrapMatters.com has another speed scrap planned for tomorrow night! Go here to participate and read more about it!

2008-05-13T20:27:00.000-07:00

I've found a new love- I just participated in my first ever Speed Scrap- and it was so much fun! We had 2 hours to finish a layout with 6 specific guidelines (each step given progressively every ten minutes:

Step 1 three photo minimum

Step 2 Papers 1 solid 3 patterened coming from three different kits

Step 3 Border you photos completely or partially, it's up to you but no pre-made frames are allowed. Be creative with the other resourses you have literally at your finger tips.

Step 4 Add a tag that must be incorporated into your title. You can put your whole title on the tag. You can put one word on the tag or even just the beginning letter but part of you title must be ON TOP of the tag.

Step 5 Add swirls and a word element

Step 6 Add your journaling around your LO. It must go all the way around so repeat if you need to.

Step 7 Take a deep breath and enjoy the next 56 minutes to complete it and post it here and in the gallery.

So.... 2 hours later here's what I came up with:

Thanks to Shari from Sharing Creations for hosting!

2008-05-13T11:07:00.000-07:00

Join us for the Speed Scrap at ScrapMatters tonight!

It's hard to keep track of the different time zones so here are some others:
7 pm Mountain Daylight time
8 pm Central Daylight time
9 pm Eastern Daylight time

You need to let Andrea (of Andilyn Designs) know if you want to play along! If any of you who live on the other side of the world wish you could play along, also let her know and we will see about adding another one for your time zone. You will have one hour of prompts from Andrea and then have another hour to finalize your LO.

There will be a participation prize--which is still being worked on! There will also be two other prizes: My favorite layout = Kit of your choice from Andilynn Designs Random layout = $5 gift code to the SM store.

Go here to check it out and let us know if you'll be joining in the fun:

2008-03-25T10:41:00.000-07:00

Here's the article I did on two-page layouts at ScrapMatters.com with a freebie!

Hiya fellow Scrappers! It’s me, Kristie- I wanted to talk to you a little bit about your layouts today. I’ve noticed a trend in the digital scrapping world of single-page layouts and I’m here to say- Don’t give up on your double-pagers just yet! I understand that single-page layouts are not only quicker, but it’s also nice not to have to worry about how your two pages flowing together. Having said that, let me list a few of the pro’s I’ve found while two-page Digital Scrapbooking with a few examples from my own gallery.

Two-pagers:

-can look amazing and really stand out.

-allow you to fit more pictures into one layout- I usually have so many pictures from each of the events I’m scrapping I really need both pages to fit them all in.

-get you caught up more quickly. I guess this pro lends itself to the last one, but when I first switched from paper to digital scrapping, I was two years behind. By utilizing two-page spreads I was able to catch up more quickly- I spent ½ the time I would have otherwise trying to figure out which beautiful kit I would use for each page.

-creates a more spacious look, one-pagers are gorgeous, but once again- if you have a lot of pictures they can look a little cramped.

-give you an opportunity to more fully utilize all of those wonderful embellishments we love from our digital scrapkits.

-really allow you to fully carry out a theme or idea-

-Look so amazing when bound in a book next to each other.

But what about all of those wonderful 1-page template freebies you’ve been picking up here and there online? Simple! Go ahead and use the template as is for your first page, and flip it horizontally making a mirror image for the second, or try it just rotating 90 degrees, etc.

Have I convinced you? Yes? No? Maybe this will be the clincher- I’ve made a 2-page freebie template from one of my own layouts for you to play with and rediscover your inner double-pager diva!

(Click here to download your template)

I’d love to see what you do with the templates, so please make sure to post your layouts at ScrapMatters.com for us all to drool over!

Kristie

For all those out there wondering what to do with your digital pages once you're finished- this is what I did- I've almost got all of 2007 scrapped (huge for me!!!!) and I'm going to order another photobook like the one I made for 2006 through Shutterfly.com- the 2006 book was absolutely incredible- the site is super easy to use, and the finished product is great. I love that my kids can flip through the pages and I'm not dying because I'm worried their going to pull off a ribbon, or tear the one-and-only version of that page. With my book, if things get mangled, I have the option to order another one, and I still have the original safe and sound on my computer. The quality is great and you can almost always find at least a 20% off coupon online.

free stuff:
www.shabbyprincess.com- they have some really fun, beautiful kits- this is where I got my first freebies to start out with.
http://happyscrapgirl.blogspot.com and http://ikeagoddess.blogspot.com- both of these sites put out great lists almost daily of digital-scrapbooking freebies.

The unlimited downloads for a small fee are found at http://www.atomiccupcake.com, and they are discontinuing the unlimited at the beginning of February, so now's the time to get on there, and download everything you want.
