Sunny Days...

All the digital components for this 12 x 12 scrapbook layout are from the gorgeous Sunny Days Digital Scrapbook Kit by Tracy Ann Digital Art on Etsy (except the snaps of my little cuties of course ;-), and were compiled by me in Photoshop.

The 'brads' don't come with the kit (they are just simple circles with drop shadows and bevelling/embossing), but the digi papers that they are decorated with come in Tracy Ann's kit! The pathway is just a curved cut-out made using the pen tool, with some digi-paper behind it.

I may have gone just a little over the top with adding stuff on. I was having such a good time plonking things left, right and centre that I didn't know when to stop.

Hope you are enjoying your Friday,

A blog make-over...

I had some Photoshop fun last night and again today playing with some new digital goodies that I got from Tracy Ann Digital Art on Etsy (one of my favourite places to go for digital scrapbooking papers and clip art). I have also used a free fancy label shape from Kerri Bradford.

Apart from a new signature image, some buttons and section headers, I also made a new Blog Header:

 ...and a new Watermark too:

I am very happy with how they all turned out. I think it feels all bright and breezy in here now :-). What do you think?

Have a good weekend,

Party Fun

I mean't to explain the lack of papercrafting that's been going on in this neck of the woods. Well...the lack of blogged papercrafting, at any rate. I've had a lot on recently, but there has been some crafting going on in the background, just no time to blog it!

April/May is party central around here, and I've been dabbling with pretty clip art, digital scrapbook papers and Photoshop. I made some party place-name cards and party bag toppers with some beautiful goodies from Stockberry Studio on Etsy, and using a groovy new curves template by Rita of The Coffeeshop Blog (thanks so much Rita - you rock!!!)...

 I also managed to squeeze in a little birthday cake. Not one of my finer creations, but fun to make and well-received by the requester/birthday girl nonetheless...

Waaaaaay past my bedtime now, and tomorrow is another big day.

Just Add Scrapbooking Challenge #1

When I saw that Just Add Ink had started a new scrapbooking challenge I really, really, really wanted to play...but I have little in the way of scrapbooking supplies aboard Lucey Blue so rather sadly thought I'd miss the Just Add Scrapbooking Challenge #1. But this afternoon, as I was quietly crocheting in the cockpit (and the rest of the crew were either asleep or creating disastrous Lego landslides) I suddenly realised that I could probably digi-scrap a little offering, and I set about doing just that.

Now, please bear in mind that I have never digi-scrapped before, so this layout is rather basic (a FIRST in fact ;-)...but you have to start somewhere!

I have used Photoshop to create this layout. The beautiful digital papers are from the Jackie Digital Paper Pack by TracyAnnDigitalArt on Etsy. My ability to make shapes is very limited..hence you have round brads only. I could have made them square...but I saved that awesome trick for the next digi-layout I make...betcha can't wait ;-).

Have a great rest-of-the-week!
