Kraft+ March Challenge

Hello Everyone,

Kraft+ has released its new challenge for the month:

So the challenge is to use denim somewhere on the layout.  Fortunately, I found a fabulous digital kit from KimB Designs over at The Digital Press, which had some gorgeous denim bits to use. And this is what I created:

The Nifty Pixel - Hearts Afloat

Hello Everyone,

Today I would like to share my last layouts for The Nifty Pixel.  Over the last few years I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Em Stafrace and her products, but I have a lot of other things going on at the moment, that I feel it is now time to let it go....and what a gorgeous bundle to use as my last on the Creative Team:

The Nifty Pixel - Page Drafts: Pretty As A Picture V.2

Hello Everyone,

I am super late with this blog post, but it's school holidays and I have been ultra busy, which is just the way life flows sometimes.

Anyway, with no more delay, this is the latest release from The Nifty Pixel - or rather, I should probably say re-release. These templates have been tweaked a little and given a new name:

Pretty As A Picture V.2

Here are my layouts using these fabulous templates:

The Nifty Pixel - Night Before

Hello Everyone,

I am super happy to share this gorgeous new collection from The Nifty Pixel, released today over at the DigiChick, Night Before. It contains beautiful blues and corals, something a little delightfully different for a Christmas themed or wintry page.

Available here:

http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/NIGHT-BEFORE-Collection.html

Available here:

http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/NIGHT-BEFORE-Page-Drafts.html

For my layouts, I used photos from up to 6 years ago. Oh my goodness! The change that has occurred, even in myself (both physically and emotionally), is quite dramatic. What a difference a few years make! 

For each layout I used a Page Drafts template from the Night Before. These are super to work with. Makes creating so much easier and quicker, especially great for this time of the year.

CSI - Case File 217

Hello Everyone,

This month's major challenge over at CSI is very autumnal and has a great sketch/template from the clever Em Stafrace of The Nifty Pixel:

This challenge is also the first at CSI's new home - on a blogger format instead of a Ning site, so much easier to access and no excuse not to play along. :)

My digital layout for this challenge:

Love These Memories

Credits:

Oops, forgot to write it all down - but mainly from Katie Pertiet at Designer Digitals.

The photos were taken in March 2011, autumn in the southern hemisphere.

How I solved the case:

The scheme: I used all the colours.

Evidence: woodgrain/wood, antlers, triangles, jar, animals & leaves.

Testimony: Inspiration word, 'outdoor'. 

Journaling reads: Spending time outdoors.  Climbing and hiding.  You love this old tree at the park with its old skewed branches spreading themselves out in all directions and its thick trunk low and wide to climb on.

The challenge is open until the end of the month, so plenty of time to join in. Please go to their new site to check out all the details: CSI Challenge #217.

Thanks for coming by. :)
