Pretty little angel eyes

This is the kind of page I often see in digiscrap galleries. Lots of white space, clustered elements, a title and one single picture. When I started digiscrapping I wasn't a fan of these kind of pages at all but they have grown on me. For the most part I make pages to showcase the most number of pictures. I have the intention of printing all of my pages into books some day and the pictures are what I'm interested in, not only the elements and papers, no matter how cute or pretty they are. But, I do like to change things up every once in a while.

And, it turns out I really like this page.

Summer Baby

I love working with all the fun springy and summery kits that are coming out right now. I started digiscrapping in the winter and the kits that were new then weren't as exciting to me. I love colors, bright fun elements, little birdies, bugs and flowers.

College Station, TX

So...I have this handy little thing on the side of my website called Feedjit. It tells me who is coming to my blog. I love it because most of you guys don't leave me comments, but I can see you came and checked things out. I can normally guess who you are by your location....but who are you College Station??? I have a bunch of guesses, and any of them make me smile but I really want to know!!!

Week 11 Scrapped

This was made using a QP I made with Teri's Bee Attitudes Kit for a QP album. So all the work was already done, all I had to do today was drop in the pictures!

WOW! 3 pages in one day....ummmm.....maybe I should go get some packing done or something productive?!!!? In my defense, I worked my buns off yesterday, I did a zillion things this morning and both kiddos have had nice long naps today...and yep, I did nothing but scrap during nap time! I hear the boy stirring....gonna run.

(Not Really) Roughing It

I did this page last night for a speed scrap with a bunch of ladies from a message board I am a member of. It was the first time I've actually finished a speed scrap. My computer or program I use to scrap with usually freezes about 85% of the way through the page and I end up stressed, sweaty and with no finished page to show for it all. BUT! I prevailed! I was able to finish my page last night.

I was thinking, speed scraps shouldn't be called speed scraps exactly. At least the ones I've participated in, they last 1-2 hours, sometimes more. I don't know about the average scrapper, but I can guess they do it faster than that. I know I do. A normal page for me is about 30 minutes, I have finished one in about 15 minutes a time or two and at most it's an hour. If it takes much longer than that I normally just give up and start over later. I think speed scraps should be called Challenge Scraps. They always make me go out of my comfort zone and do something I wouldn't normally.

Anyhoo....here is my page

Grace 10 months

I've been on a roll today! These pages haven't taken me more than about 15 minutes!

Another kit by Designs by Krista. This one is called Blossom. I've never used black before. It always seemed to harsh for a baby girl's book but I had fun trying it out and I actually like the way it looks. I don't think I'll get in the habit of using black but I do like it occasionally.

Hmmm

I just realized something, I am stuck on 4 picture layouts. Go back to the last several pages I've made, most of them have one main picture then 3 supporting ones. I need to make sure I do something different next time.

My favorite way to get inspiration for a page is to go check out galleries of scrappers I really love and get ideas from their pages. There are so many really talented scrappers out there. So, if you're stuck in a rut (as I am, it seems!) go to a gallery, try DigiShop Talk or any other one you like. Look at recent pages uploaded and I'm sure you'll find something you love!

I answered a one kit CT call for this kit. What a fun way to do it! This was my first one kit CT call. For all you non digiscrappers, that's just where you answer a request by a designer to make a page or two for them using their kit. You get the kit for free and you make a page for them to help promote their new kit. It's good for everyone!

Amazing little Grace

This is a coordinating page for the previous page I uploaded. This page was also done using Teri and Stacey's Tuesday's Child kit. It's a very pretty kit, with many choices, I could make many many pages with it I'm sure!

It's fun going back and seeing newborn pictures of Grace. She looks so different, yet still exactly the same to me.

New Baby

At my mom's request I am starting to go back to earlier pictures of Grace and do the scrapbook pages for them. Grace was 6 days old in these ones!

Taking it all in

This was my first real attempt at doing an extraction. I'm pretty happy with it. It wasn't too hard though because the fence had so many straight lines, and because Austin is wearing a hat I didn't have to deal with a bumpy head. Many extractions I see the person's head looks strange. I'm sure it's hard to deal with hair. I was reading a tutorial for extracting thin or transparent things such as hair, it seemed pretty complex, I think I'll stay away from things like that for a while still.
