It's a Kit - It's a Bundle

Just discovered this fabulous kit by Tami Miller that was released last June, one year ago. It was originally sold as separate pieces but now is bundled into one kit, so it is a bundle offered for the price of a kit. The kit, Just Breathe, includes a rocking Alpha, sweet delicate Clusters, a set of stamped Borders, and even 4 Quick Pages, all for the incredible low price of $3.60. This super deal is available at Tami's store at Scrapbookbytes.

The colors of the kit are lovely shades of burnt orange and turquoise blue. The papers are lightly patterned and the elements include a rustic combination of choices.

Here is a page made with Just Breathe.

Rewind Friday at Roseytoes Designs

Over at Roseytoes it's time for the weekly Rewind Friday where you can take another look at a product previously released.  Because nothing says summer like Sunflowers do, the kit for this week is Sunflower Soiree, a collaboration between Roseytoes Designs and Tami Miller Designs. I like this kit for its papers with their soft and easily combined colors and patterns, plus it offers many varieties of happy yellow flowers to dress up your pages.

The page below was done by me using Sunflower Soiree and a template from Away We Go (which is new this week.) If you like the looks of this head over her stores where the kit is on sale for 50% off.

Away We Go Template Set

Part of July's Gingerscraps Buffet from Roseytoes Designs is a set of four templates. Here is a sample from the set made using Sunflower Soiree by Roseytoes Designs and Tami Miller Designs.

Pretty In Pink at Gingerscraps

Roseytoes Designs has a new Grab Bag releasing exclusively at Gingerscraps today. It is perfect for those girly girl layouts or garden pages. You can go bold or more restrained with this kit as it has patterns with sass and solids with class. So here is Pretty in Pink, you get the kit, a template set, clusters, paint splashes, journaling cards, word art, quick pages and paper stackers.

To give an idea of the kit's versatility here are two pages I created, the first with the kit and the template set and the second with the kit and a template by KimB.

So if you see something which catches your eye check out Roseytoes Designs store at Gingerscraps.

It's July and Away We Go

Gingerscraps holds it monthly Buffet from the 1st to the 5th of every month.  The common color palette used by all of the designers allows for the customer to pick and choose, essential creating a kit of their own favorites. Each "dish" is on sale from the 1st to the 5th for only $1.00 so it is a bargain as well as a fun way to increase your stash.

Roseytoes contribution to July's Buffet is called Away We Go and is a playful collection of road trip based material. She is offering papers, elements, a set of 4 templates, word art, paint splashes and journaling cards, all of which can be purchased separately. You can find Roseytoes Designs store at Gingerscraps here.

And finally here is a page I did showing the fun side of Away We Go.

Adding a Personal Touch

One of the reasons I like the templates offered by Roseytoes Designs is that they provide a basic structure for a page yet allow for and work with many variations of design. Take as an example this page done using the Family Rules set. The foundation of blocking is provided and in this case I just shifted everything to the left which allowed room for a border and some brush work and of course a title.

Not only are the Family Rules Templates versatile but are also currently a bargain at 50% off.

LOTW Nomination at Gingersnaps

Found out Sunday evening that I have been honored with a nomination for LOTW at Gingersnaps. They make selections from layouts which ware uploaded during the previous week and then those pages are posted in the forum where voting takes place. Any registered member of the community is eligible to vote for their favorite.

The page which was chosen, Don't Stumble, was made using Angie Young's Come On Get Happy kit available at Digitals.  The photo of flowers in the backyard was given a watercolor effect using Brady Murry's  Ultimate Artist Set which is an action, brushes and textures, and is available at Scrapgirls. The photo was then blended onto a worn paper, text added and then  applied to the page.

Transformation

Today the Follow Your Art team has released their new co-ordinating kits Transformation. The color palette is a blend of soft roses and mauves. The elements, borders, word art and papers are all muted tones which call to mind the first moments of a new beginning much like the colors of early morning light.

Here is a page I did using Aria's portion. It is offered as individual sets or as a bundle and can be found at Digitals.

Discover Inspirations

This Saturday's Follow Your Art blog post is all about Discovery, featuring June's FYA Discover kits. The post shows some inspiration from the FYA Gallery at Digitals.

Collage

Collage is a style of scrapping which lies between traditional and artsy. It may or may not utilize photos but usually includes imagery of some sort. Odds and ends, bits of lace and scraps of paper all are used with items layered one upon the other.

Angie Young is a designer who has perfected the creation and collection of materials suitable for making collages, be they digital or mixed media, Her most recent kit is called Dance of Nature and is available at Digitals. It features warm forrest greens and soft tans, includes lots of goodies to play with and the Borders are detailed with stitching and artsy paint splatters.

This page Women are Like Buttons was made with Angie's Dance of Nature and an image from Far Far Hill.

Artsy Style

This term gets used in digi forums and galleries but I don't really understand just what exactly it means. Where is the line drawn that separates a traditional layout from an artsy one? Is the designation simply based on each person's sense of "Artiness?"

Whatever the words are to describe artsy, I know it when I see it and ARTSY will be one of the focuses on the blog. So this first post will feature a page called Discover the Goddess Within. It was created using Cilenia Curitis' Follow Your Art Discover, Art Wings 1, and Art Box 15. These products can be found at Digitals. The image of the woman was from a free down load from Far Far Hill.

What's Up?

Dusting off the blog, giving it a fresh face, and venturing off in new directions. Mostly this site will feature Digital Scrapbooking products, and the art created with those products.  Many different styles and designers will be highlighted and hopefuly growth will follow.
