Hi!

Welcome back! It seemed fitting to make my first post back on the first day of 2013. I had a wonderful, restful Christmas break and I hope you did too.  I'm back at my craft desk and ready to create up a storm.  I have got my hands on some of the upcoming Sale-A-Bration products and can't wait to have a play with them.  I've also seen the soon to be released Seasonal Catalogue, and it's fantastic! Lots of exciting things from Stampin' Up! this year as it's their 25th Anniversary.


This was the photo I gave to my family at Christmas.  I was thrilled to take such a gorgeous photo of my gorgeous children (with a bit of editing help from Photoshop!) My photography skills are certainly improving as a result of doing the Camera Creche course. I highly recommend doing it if you live in Adelaide.

Bye for now,

Tina

Hi!


Here we are again, ready for another Just Add Ink Scrapbooking Challenge.  This month Delys has challenged us to use bright colours in our layouts.  I recently purchased some of Stampin' Up!'s new digital content discs so I decided to make a digital layout today.  The subject of the layout is my son Hudson's recent 5th Birthday party.

I started with a base of Daffodil Delight Polka Dot paper, which was a free download a couple of years ago.  The striped sections were embellishments in the Eventful Year Content Disc, as is the Journalling Box.  I changed the colour of the Journalling Box and the text on the page to match the teal colour in the striped paper.  I'm not sure what SU colour it is, perhaps the old Taken With Teal?

Each of the different elements were added to the page and then had the stroke effect applied to give the white border (except the journalling box), and then given a drop shadow effect.  The text was created in the same way.  If you want more information about how I created any of this layout, just drop me an email.

Can't wait to see your bright layouts over at Just Add Ink!

Bye for now,
