Digital Scrapbooking: Bumper iNSD weekend with The Nifty Pixel...

 

Hey!

And welcome to May.. 10 days in.

The last 2 weeks have KICKED MY BUTT!!

First I was prepping for iNSD and then I got really sick and that wiped me out for 7 days. Then it was iNSD and then work just totally slapped me!

As I am a newbie to the digital scrapping world, my first iNSD (international scrapbooking day) was last year and it was SO much fun, games, and new shiny kits and discounts and sales and new friends, and and and...

This year I am on x2 Creative Teams for designers, so this is a big weekend for them and I needed to make a bunch of layouts to showcase their new gorgeous products - it would have been much easier if I hadn't been so unwell :(

Today I am sharing all the layouts I made for the Nifty Pixel - Em had a bumper release that weekend - x2 new kits and x3 new sets of page drafts!

The main photo uses the new Touch of Vintage page drafts with an older kit.

The next two layouts use Pep Talk bundle and the Pep Talk page drafts.

The final two use the Free to Live bundle and Free to Live page drafts.

I am super proud of these layouts, I was sick, feeling a bit of stress because I wanted them to be SO good to repay Em's faith in me. And honestly, they really are some of my best work to date. I just relaxed into it in the end and stopped overthinking it all, a valuable lesson for me!

Digital Scrapbooking: Designed by Soco March...

Hey,

Happy Monday to you!

I thought I would show you a couple of my fave layouts that I made as part of my Designed by Soco creative team commitments in March.

I actually made about 10 layouts, but didn't want this post to be crazy, so chose 2 for you :)

The main photo made me laugh, the minute I saw the 'Weekend Vibes' words and cards, I knew I had to use this crazy photo of Lisette and I that we sent to Hubby to let him know that we had arrived at Foxwoods safely. I used - 

Hello Weekend Words
Hello Weekend Pocket Cards
Cards & Words No.7 template

The next layout makes me smile everytime I see it, as I did an impromptu photoshoot with Hubby and Clint Catwood to get the hilarious photo shown here!

I used a new release - 

Happy Here Mini Kit (add on - Memory Pockets Monthly) 

And I used it with a fave Designed by Soco template that I rotated.
Cards & Words No.7

Fun layouts, I am really enjoying my guest slot with Soco and her team, I'll be sad to leave when June comes around.

Digital Scrapbooking: Exciting News...

Hey,

Hope you all had a great weekend, I did, I went to Foxwoods with my friend (casino resort) and I won BIG. It was a hilarious weekend and was good to be out of the teeny tiny apartment.

I mentioned that I would have some BIG news for you...

Well hang on to your hats, I was lucky enough to be invited to be on the Creative Team for The Nifty Pixel!! TNP is owned and run by Em and not only is she super talented, but she is super nice too. I have been a very big fan of her designs since I started scrapping last year and I applied on a whim, not really thinking I would have the experience to make the team.

I was SO surprised, but thrilled. The Nifty Gals are a fabulous, supportive, hilarious bunch and it is an honor to be working alongside them.

My first x2 layouts (main photo and below) use the latest release Pick Your Destiny - now available for purchase! 

Then on Thursday, I got an email from Soco of Designed by Soco asking me if I would like to do a guest slot from now until June with her and her CT. WHAT THE HELL!!! Again, I applied on a whim, not thinking I was really ready for any of this. I am still on the fence about my skills. When it comes to cardmaking I am super confident, but I am still a bit surprised when people like my digital layouts lol!

I love Soco's templates and kits - it's the same for me with Em and TNP, templates are my weakness. It's a great way to start a layout, they give me a structure to build upon.

My first outing for Soco was with this little beauty below using the new BYOC Carefree kit - available for purchase now and I combined it with a Simply Clean No.9 template.

All in all the last week was the most amazing one so far and mainly because I didn't expect any of it, so it was all such a lovely surprise.

More layouts for you next week.
