Pastel Papers for Easter

I made some more paper in pretty pastels that might be useful for easter or childrens pages.

I hope you like it. Let me know if it is of use to you.

I stumbled across this blog, http://www.thoselittlebigthings.blogspot.com/, that inspires creativity. So I thought I would participate. This is the result of the first challenge. Layout came from a template posted at gotsketch. Background paper and ribbon are both photos I got from Flickr and then altered. Background was a picture of coffee beans posted by Mr. Phelps. Ribbon was a picture of coffee beans posted by sean dreilinger. Coffee mug clipart from WPClipart. Title font 'chocolat bleu' from dafont. Journaling font 'lucida handwriting'. Journal stamp from Designer Digitals. All the other photos are my own precious mug. The coffee rings came from my morning coffee.

Pep Talks

I have to tell the whole world about this site.
What a hoot!!

Darling!

I finally finished a new scrap layout! Here's my darling movie star girl in all her puckered up glory. The flower paper and the heart embellishment came from Scrap Girls. They have incredible freebies. Jessica Sprague was my inspiration for the blending methods. She has great tutorials on how to use Photoshop. I created a layer full of the word 'darling' in various sizes then blended it with the flower paper then again with the photo. The title font is Broadway and the rest of the words are done in MASexy, which is a font that I got from dafont.com. I applied ebossing and drop shadows to all the text. The stamped frame around the photo came from a wonderful blog called living dreams. I had done a bunch more with this layout, including more photos from the 'session' and more papers and frame stamps. But I have a tendency to overdo. So I went back a few steps, deleted a few layers, and went with this. I'm pleased with the result. (Of course I saved the busier version!!! I put a lot of work into it and couldn't just throw it out!!)

Tribal Tattoos

I stumbled across this really cool website called TribalShapes.com . All of their stuff is free and most of it would be really easy to use for brushes in Photoshop. These pictures are just a couple of samples. The spotted heart is meant to be an armband tattoo. The Kanji one is shown using three different fonts and means 'admiration and devotion'. If you do any digital scrapbooking, you gotta check this site out.

Hubby's Card

Here's my honey's card. I used one of my Readers Digest vintage images, some dollar store brads and chipboard, dollar store stamps and rub-ons, and some paper and cardstock I got at Loomis and Tooles ages ago.
Inside, more dollar store paper. The little heart shaped envelope was a template I downloaded from Mirkwood Designs free templates. Got the pretty quote from my favorite site, Quote Garden.
Then I created a little fan-fold heart notebook out of more dollar store paper. Inside, I wrote my little love letter to my dearest. Note that I did not include a picute of that. Some things still remain sacred. That folded note got tucked neatly into the heart envelope. I'm so pleased with my little spurt of traditional scrapping. I may have to do it again soon!

New Scrapper

I'm such a proud mamma. My little girl spent the evening stamping, cropping, glueing, scrapping. The end result was a Valentine for Daddy. I love how all the little letter hearts get piled up in a 3D effect.
