Summer Memories …. Mini scrapbook kit

By on 3-18-2015 in Scrapbook Kits

It’s that time of year again. The Digital Scrapbooking Studio is having their designer challenge. This is the first week. It called for going back in time to create a traditional scrapbooking kit. I chose Summer Memories for all those who want to now scrap their holiday photos and bring back those wonderful times of warm, freedom filled days behind us.

Sunset, my geometrical template challenge

By on 3-18-2015 in Scrapbook Kits

This template tutorial is one more from Chris Spooner. Chris creates his template in Illustrator Abstract Geometric Template and since I have only PSE 11 I made my own to give to those who wanted to play with it. The results from the challenge are spectacular. Sunset is my work up and example. This photo has it’s original colouring, no tweeking needed. The sunsets in the country are spectacular. The poem by Emily Pauline Johnson captures it perfectly.

Addition to this challenge, updated October 19 … there were so many beautiful entries into this challenge at the Just Art site that I made another globe for them, this time with horizontal lines

Last Days of Summer, a scrapbook mini kit

By on 3-18-2015 in Scrapbook Kits

Last Days of Summer is this month’s mini kit created for ADB Designs’ September colour challenge at the Scrapbooking Studio. A period of time just before the butterflies disappear and the summer birds start their migration south for the winter with fields of asters and daisies catching the last rays of the sun.

Mr Handsome

Mr Handsome is a heavy horse, one of the lead horses on a team of 6 who looked back at me when he heard my camera and gave me this beautiful photo showing the inquisitiveness of a powerful horse. The page was created for the Just Art site for September’s “use everything” challenge. Kit was supplied by Anne Marie of A-M Designs.

Tigger, our elderly kitten

This handsome fellow is Tigger. He was a rescue cat and has gone to join the kittens in the sky but had a good long life, almost 19 years, most of it healthy. The page was done for a template challenge at the Just Art Site for August, template supplied by Robyn of Red Dog Designs.
