Face the Sunshine

The new Club Scrap Hello, Sunshine hybrid collection was just what I needed to add some joy to these gloomy days. With the bright, bold yellows and oranges who could be sad?! I used the bonus sketch available to Club Scrap members only to create this digital layout about recent travel to Boston.

Best in the West

I hope everyone is staying healthy during these very interesting times!

Here's a two page digital layout I created with the Western Hybrid Collection. The release of this digital collection had perfect timing with my nephew's horseback riding adventures.

Make Life Big

Happy Saturday!  Just a few days left before Christmas.  I had the fortune of attending several work Christmas parties and am truly blessed this holiday season.  I couldn't wait to digitally scrap and share some of the fun captured in photos.

Club Scrap recently released a Coffeehouse collection but you don't have to limit its use to just coffee. I used several of the digital stamps, papers and border strips for this layout.

How Ya Bean?

I am not a coffee drinker.  I usually start my day with a Diet Coke.  I LOVE the smell of coffee but absolutely detest the taste of coffee. Can't even do mocha ice cream. With that "bean" said...I adore the Club Scrap Coffeehouse collection! 

I am currently on the road and only have the Club Scrap Coffeehouse Hybrid Collection to work with.  I created this cute card for the Card Sketch challenge on the Club Scrap Chat Facebook Group. What do you do with this digital card you ask?  You can either send it via email, text or print it from you home computer and attach it to a blank card base.

Happy Thanksgiving

May you all be blessed with a relaxing day filled with family, friends and fabulous wine :)

Wonder. Wander. Repeat.

Happy Sunday!

My crafting time has been limited this month.  I don't know about you but that makes me cranky.  I did find some time to play with the new fabulous Club Scrap Expeditions hybrid collection. Using digital page templates really cuts down on the design decisions and makes pages come to life fairly quickly.

Expeditions

Find Beauty Everywhere

Happy Saturday my crafty friends!  I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last post. I spent some fabulous time with my family and friends in Chicago, Wisconsin and Ohio. 

While patiently waiting for my paper Falling Leaves collection to arrive I finally got some Photoshop time in. The digital Falling Leaves is absolutely STUNNING! I'm a little biased since fall is one of my favorite seasons. Fingers crossed that the temperatures here in Cali fall below 90 degrees this week :)

I'll be participating in a handmade paper blog hop sponsored by Club Scrap and Arnold Grummer on September 21st.  Mark your calendars.  I'm super excited to see what projects this team has created. 

Have a spectacular weekend!

Remembering Our Military

Thank you to all our military members who paid the ultimate sacrifice in defending our country safe and protecting our freedoms.

Live Life

It seems like forever since I've created a digital layout.  Today I'm using the Damask digital collection with the newest free template from Fiddle-Dee-Dee designs. These photos are from our recent Pacific Northwest cruise.  We were able to visit with family on our stop in San Francisco.  The highlight of the trip was sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge.

Lucky to Have You

Happy Valentine's Day my crafty friends!

Here's a quick drop layout from Studio Double-D.  

This layout took less than 5 minutes to create! 

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas my crafty friends!

Thank you for all your love and support this year.

Lost in the Right Direction

When I first saw the sneak preview to the Alpine collection I knew I needed EVERY thing.  The papers, the stamps, the cards and of course the digital kit. I've been on the road for most of the month so I've only had time to create with the digital collection.  It's beautiful! I love the frames included with this hybrid kit.  You can use them digitally or print and cut them out for your paper scrapbooks. 

This kit isn't necessarily "snowy" but I love how the colors coordinated with my photos from Iceland.

Isn't it Wild?

I'm loving the new Gone Wild digital hybrid kit from Club Scrap. How fun are all the animal print papers and strip?!  We recently brought home two new members to our family and this theme goes great with my photos. They are 100% wild ones :)

Faux Postage Technique Challenge

October's Technique Challenge over at Club Scrap is to create projects using a faux postage technique.  Time got away from me with scrapbook retreats and expos so I did a digital version using a postage mask from the Club Scrap 2012 Love Blooms digital collection.

Barrel of Blessings

The new Tapestry digital collection includes two gorgeous overlay images. Digital overlays are a great way to add interest to background papers.  By using different blending modes you can make the overlays bold or soft, depending on the look you're going for.

Cheerio!

Welcome to the Club Scrap Ivy League Linky Party! Today members are sharing their projects they've created using the Ivy League collection. This collection is a combination of rich colors, classy images and amusing stamps. 

I was inspired by Tricia's paper layout using the scroll work stencil to create this digital layout. Here's how to create the medallion digitally. 

1. Create a new 12x12 document. Open the scroll image and add to document.

2. Duplicate the layer, rotate horizontally and position side by side.

3. Merge the two layers together. Duplicate that layer and flip vertically. 

4. Position layers to create a medallion.

Welcome to the Club Scrap Sea Breeze Linky Party! Today Club Scrap would love for you to share your Sea Breeze layouts, cards and projects on their website for a chance to win a Club Scrap gift certificate. 

I was honored to be the Guest Artist for the Sea Breeze Card collection and assembled my paper layouts so I really had no left over paper supplies.  The great thing about the Sea Breeze digital kit is you can print out the papers and elements over and over to create something tangible.  However, I decided to create a digital layout with the elements.

Fireworks of the Soul

Club Scrap released their June's collection and it's a beauty! I absolutely LOVE the fun hybrid papers and digital stamps of Firecracker.  I created this layout using June's Fiddle-Dee-Dee Design's monthly free template.

The Azores

I'm finally starting to get back to normal after being overseas for a month.  I just had all my photos printed up and can't wait to start paper scrapping! In the mean time I've been doing some digital scrapbooking. 

This layout consists of mostly Lavender Fields digital papers and embellishments. I used May's bonus layout sketch (member perk) from Club Scrap as my template.

After eight days at sea, our first sight of land was the Azores. A spectacular place with volcanic craters, lakes and caldrons.

Hybrid Digital Kits

I have been receiving the Club Scrap Digital collections for years.  Until this month, I have never printed them out and use them for cards or layouts.  I've always used the collections for digital creations. 

The process is so easy! Just print out the Shibori Hybrid sheets, no software needed. The images line up so that trimming is simple. Here's a few cards I created using my own cardstock and the hybrid images.
