Blissful Morning

Pictures/previews for this page have been removed due to Designers retiring and stores closing

Clean and fresh....that is the way I would describe Gypsy Couture's new Page set "Blissful Morning"

and I love the way my LO turned out. There is something about the red against the green and off-white linen that just appeals so much to me!!

and if you head on over to Lisa's blog, you will still find her freebie Page Genie there...

Remember Lisa's kits are always on sale on the Thursday of their release and every Tuesday she has at least one special offer. So be sure to check her store at the DigiChick on Tuesdays and Thursdays!

It's been a busy week and I' behind! Hope to be back with a little treat for you, shortly!

Always And Forever

Pictures/previews for this page have been removed due to Designers retiring and stores closing

Have you ever noticed how eloquently Rina Kroes names her kits? I always look forward to seeing the new names, and read her store descriptions! or maybe I'm just a little strange that way? LOL

Rina is retiring a BUNCH of products from her Scrapbook-Elements store. these goodies will be available until July 20th and then they wll be gone forever. The close-out prices are perfect too.

Here is Always and Forever and can be yours for only $2.50:





I made this LO with it... still enjoying all the old negatives, and I haven't even scanned them all yet! whoohoo!

I used one of Fafbr's actions to make the lace and ribbon wrap, the Alpha is from Rina's Au Naturelle Collection (also on Close-Out) and the jewel is by Tracey Monette. The frame is also not in the Page Set. I combined a CU frame, Atomic Cupcake Action, some overlays etc to make it up.

Finally : I have a a little freebie for you in the form of a border, corner cluster and journal tag.


You can download it HERE.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Scrapping!!

The Smell of Orange Blossoms

Do you know what they smell like? The most wonderful of fragrances, one of the smells of my youth, full of memories. That is what comes back to me when I look at Rina Kroes' latest Page Set "The Bells of St Clements" remember to check the Doorbuster sales over at Scrapbook-Elements for additions pieces to the St Clements Collection!

For today and Monday you can still buy the Page Set as a separate Paper and Elements pack, in Rina's Doorbuster sale.

Fresh, clean and fragrant. Invigorating. That is what it stands for!

Now if you zip on over to Rina's Blog, you'll find a beautiful QP freebie by Kabra posted for you there,

and if you scoot over to Debbie's blog, you can scoop up another QP.

Add these to the Quick page album in Rina's store and you have a beautiful album ready in no time at all! (still only $2.00 till tomorrow ! (Monday))

I also have a blog gift freebie for you today : a border, cluster and decorated tag set. All made with elements from The Bells of St Clements.

You can download you blog gift freebie HERE

Thanks for dropping by!

Just Goofing Around!

It was a warm winter's day, back in 1988, when Mr J was playing outside. I took the camera, hoping to get a few pictures when he suddenly turned all goofy. Naturally I started to giggle and the more I giggled, the goofier he got and the more I giggled...well you know how it goes.

When I saw the new collab, "Way out Wild" by Gypsy Couture and Miss Vivi, it reminded me of these pictures. It is a fun page set full of useful bits and pieces. I'll be making a matching page to this one, with a couple more pictures taken that day.

The Page set is available at The Digichick as well as Scrapbookgraphics and is 20% off today (Thursday) only!

I'm off to scrap the other page...catch you later!

Pearls and Lace

Pictures/previews for this page have been removed due to Designers retiring and stores closing

New in store today : Vickey Morrissey's Pearls and Lace Page Set. it was one of those where I knew exactly which pictures I wanted to scrap with this kit, as soon as I unzipped it!

I tend to make multiple LO's with the same pictures mainly because I make multiple albums, and if I can tailor an album to a specific recipient's taste....well, that is totally my pleasure!

I think these two pages will make a great double spread : Oupa and Ouma before they were married and then years later : a family picture of them and their 4 precious boys.

I think I should like to make a card with this Page Set....hmmmm putting my thinking cap on....
Catch you later!

Sugar & Spice

...it's a girl thing...I think. And these pictures of my sister always make me think of that phrase.

So when I saw Gypsy Couture's "Sweet Pea" Page Set I knew which pictures would suit it! It is so pretty, sweet and sooooo dainty! I love it!

I also used one of Lisa's Page Genie's #2 templates. The one I used is top left : I rotated it and pulled the curves deeper in over the LO. The curves are wonderful, and I like their understated presence on a page. I also duplicated and off set the curves to get that extra line off colour.

Finally I added the little paper bird from Lisa's Boho Baby Page Set. See Thursday's post HERE.

I have made my page into a Quick Page for you so you can see just how adorable this page set is. As always though it is but a small selection of delicious goodies that make their way onto a LO. The kit is stuffed with digi delectables, trust me!

You can download the freebie HERE. Thank you Lisa for sharing your designs with all the digi scrappers who drop by the blog!

Gypsy Couture has some awesome new products out in her store today! Oh my! I've been very busy and not feeling the greatest in the evenings means that I haven't finished my LO's with these releases yet, nor do I have a QP for you...yet...watch this space though, as it is coming asap!

I managed to make this LO last night...and see? Boho Bay is not just for babies!!! And there is sooo much to choose from!!!

I found some of the goodies in Lisa's Boho Baby Extras Kit

I started the LO using one of the templates in lisa's new Page Genies Set 1...that is where I found that super curve in the bg!!!

This is not all that is new in Lisa's store today so head on over HERE and take a look at the rest of the goodies. Do drop by at Lisa's blog for a special treat...

I'll be back asap with more previews a LO and a freebie!
