Computer Woes...

Sorry folks, I'm experiencing some computer hassles. The desktop is in 'hospital' and the old laptop is suffering away when I use Photoshop, hence the lack of posting.

Hope to be back up and running soon! (but I have been saying that for a week ;-) )

Happy scrapping! :D

New LO new CT

I'm totally pleased to find myself on a few new CT's ;-)

I've liked Creative Victotian Designs for a long time and waited...sort of patiently...for a call. I don't think I need to say how happy I am to be on this team! Whooooot.

"Jaded" the kit and Collection featured in my LO released today. I turned this LO into a freebie that CVD will be giving out sometime. I'm a little busy right now, but watch for freebies using CVD on this blog in the future!

And here's a look at the kit Jaded

and the Jaded Collection

Enjoy!

New Gypsy Couture LO and a Freebie

Isn’t this an amazing picture? A family reunion, sometime in the late 1930’s. I’m still working on getting as exact a date as I can, and it looks like we’re missing the name of one person (a visitor that day, not a family member) Incredible…and a true testimony to my almost 91 year old Mother’s memory!

I used Gypsy Couture’s “Evening Bloom” page set for my LO. (no longer available)

I thought it was a perfect fit! And I decided to make an overlay freebie for you all. I plan on using it myself for another vintage page! Whoot!



You can download your free overlay HERE.

Thanks for stopping by. I have quite a few pages that I need to show you so I’d better get cracking, right?

Have a great April!

Forever Young - Heritage Scrapping

Love these pictures. I only got hold of them last year and they capture, for me, the exuberance of youth so beautifully. Especially considering this was on the eve of, or early on into WW II.

Forever Young

I always appreciate any excuse to use lace and flowers, needless to say this LO was a lot of fun for me!  The products I used were : by Snickerdoodles Designs :  Irish Lace Overlays Set 4; Irish Lace Styles; Irish Lace Frames and the Rise and Shine Collection. The alpha is by  Kimberley Stewart Springtime Feeling - the Tarnished Metal Alpha Set and the stitches by Christine Nash.

Thanks for stopping by an have a great weekend!

Yearbook January 2014

Made a start on this year's book. Yay!

Lisa (Gypsy Couture) has a new kit out today 'Kiss It Goodbye',(no longer available) which is what I used for this page. I'm thinking I might have to split this one up and make it into 2 pages, due to all those pictures crammed on here. Will have to think about it... I used the template and photoframe set included in the kit. I duplicated the picture frames and spread them out a bit as needed.

Hoping to get more scrapping done this weekend!

More Vintage LO's and a Freebie

By now I'm sure you all know how much I like working with old pictures. I did a couple more LO's this week. This particular album is a slow work in progress, partly because more pictures are constantly added to the collection. Makes me happy!

This one features pictures that were taken in the 1920's. I'm amazed by the good condition they are still in. I took these pictures with my camera of the originals in the album. They are held in with photo corners, which definitely seems to have been a good idea!

Forever Friends

I used all Snickerdoodle Design products for my LO : The Long Road Home Kit and The Long Road Home Glitter on a Border Buddie Set 3 border. The lace was made with Irish Lace Corners and Irish Lace Styles. Finally I used on of the Imprint Styles on the title for the embossed look.

 

 

Next up is Wintershoek, with my Grandpa in the front with the dog and Grandma on the veranda. I don't know who the boy is though - more information to go find!

 

 

I used a Gingerscrap Facebook Hop (DSD) Freebie for my page and the Imprint Styles by Snikerdoodles for the title work on the frame, yet again.

 

 

Lastly I have 'They Called Her Charlotte' - of a group of namesakes. I'm guessing this was taken in the 40's. Yes, you're right..more information needed.

 

Now you also know why I have no journalling on these pages as yet...

 

 

Loving working with these old pictures and Kimmi Stewart's lovely 'Bunny Love Kit' I did the title work n the frame with the Snickerdoodles 'Imprint Style'

 

 

And FINALLY another freebie for you! I re-arranged some of the goodies on this last page and made an overlay freebie for you all.

 

Enjoy! Download your freebie HERE .

(Sorry...Blogger will not let me link the image at this time...sigh...)

 

 

 

Have a wonderful weekend (well it is almost weekend, isn't it? ;-)

 

A Change of plan...

It seemed like a good plan at the time...making this LO for a challenge, however I was not happy with it, so I made some changes, and like it much better now. Will I ever love it? Maybe not. And time will tell if it will make it into the printed book like this. I may yet scrap the whole thing and start over.

The first version :

...and once I tweaked it :

Do you ever redo or partially redo, a LO?
