Layout Template Freebie

Happy Friday Friends!

I was so excited to see the awesome collab freebie in my newsletter from P&Co last week, that I couldn't wait to use it. I grabbed this sweet pic of my niece taken last month at my daughter's birthday get together and went to work.

I ended up with this layout, highly inspired by my Pinterest browsing. I was super happy with how it turned out. After sharing it over at Pixelscrapper, a couple girls mentioned it would make a good template - and that was enough for me!

So, here's the layout template in layered .psd .tiff and .pngs. You can use for whatever purpose you like - PU or CU. I might mention that I'm not a pro over here and this is only the second template I've put together to share, so if you see a hiccup please let me know. Oh - and don't mind my crazy shadow layer. You gotta do what you gotta do...lol!

Enjoy and share with your friends. :)

Sweet Spring - Color Challenge

Happy Saturday everyone!

I came across a sweet little color challenge over at Digital Scrapbooking Studio and decided to give it a try. I suppose it's like a blog train with one color palette and theme, except the members of that community are to download and create things out of your challenge part instead of the usual "blog hop."

Anyhow, here's my "Sweet Spring" mini that came out of it. I couldn't decide if I wanted real foliage or the paper leaves, so I went with both...lol!

Pixelscrapper April Blog Train: Earth Day

Hey friends! Thanks for stopping by the Pixelscrapper blog train. This month's train is full of fun colors and designs. There are many wonderful creations to not only help you scrap your favorite Earth Day celebrations, but will make for fun printable projects as well. You can find the full list of contributors at the Pixelscrapper Forum.

My first layout using lots of pieces from this great BT. :)

Here is my part. I was really feeling something fun and playful. Maybe because when I think of Earth Day, I think of 1. The Lorax (watched over and over in this house) and 2. Fun craft projects for the kids.

Scraps N Pieces March Blog Train

Hi Friends!

It's been pretty quiet around here, so I'm glad you stopped by! I've taken a semi-hiatus from designing this month. "Semi" because I really do love these blog trains, love making freebies for y'all, and love that I can play with a new color palette without the commitment of a larger project.

So with all that love...lol...here's my portion of this month's blog train: The Grass is Always Greener. If you're looking for a fresh, springtime color palette, this is a great choice. I adore the shades of green, orange and yellow. It makes everything feel so alive!

Spring Fields Mini Kit Freebie

Hi again...

Can you believe it's the end of February already? I cannot. It seems January took its sweet time while this month was running for its life...lol!

I know it's only 2 days til the blog trains kick off, but I am taking the whole month of March off from designing and really wanted to finish up this designer challenge before that. The challenge? Pick a kit from one of the Pixelscrapper designers and make a mini add-on.

Layout using Spring Fields bundle + add-on

I chose Marisa Lerin's Spring Fields. I really liked the colors in her kit. Plus, I was thoroughly inspired by my own longing for spring to make an appearance and this cold, wintry weather to be gone for good!
