Captivated Visions - Blending Tutorial

Hello Everyone,

Every week, Captivated Visions releases a tip or tutorial on creating digital scrapbooking. This week, it's all about Blending - blending papers and blending modes - to achieve certain effects.
To learn more, please visit the Captivated Visions blog post.

For the tutorial, I created a page that uses many of these techniques. The photo itself is poor quality, I know, but sometimes it just captures that moment.

Scrapaneers - Birthday Challenge #2

Hello Everyone,

Scrapaneers is turning 3, so are having birthday celebrations all week. YAY! I always like a party! There are great challenges and fabulous prizes all week long. If you are toying with the idea of learning digital scrapping, or even slightly interested in it, head over to the SCRAPANEERS BLOG to learn what Scrapaneers offers, and perhaps even take use of the 35% discount offered all week. It caters for all skill levels.

For Day 2, the challenge is to work with this gorgeous inspiration board:

So much to be inspired by!

I chose the mermaid, the sprinkles on the cake, the pink blossom, the colours on the flags, and I also used the quote:

Unstoppable
