The Digital Press: Another win!

Hey,

Hard on the heels of my announcement yesterday, I won ANOTHER scrapbook layout challenge..

So happy and can't believe I won x2 challenges, given that I am a 100% newbie.

This time I won Rachel Etrog's layout challenge, it was an open theme just had to use Rachel's products and the template.

I got to choose a kit of my choice from Rachel's store on The Digital Press.

Loving all this happy news right now, it is much needed.

The Digital Press: First Scrapbook Layout Win..

Hey,

Welcome to April!

So big news for me, I won my first ever scrapbook layout challenge!

I can't believe it, but I am so chuffed and it's just the kind of good news I can do with right now!

I have been experimenting with digital crafting and memory planning and have been using the Everyday Selfie Love monthly challenge to create a travelers notebook sized memory planner.

All of this has been done digitally and along the way thanks to Traci Reed who has been running ESL, I have discovered a bunch of digital scrapbooking / asset stores.

I decided that I was really loving this and wanted to broaden my horizons a bit. I have always stayed away from traditional scrapbooking - too much space and time needed I felt. But doing it digitally means that I get to put layouts together pretty quickly and cheaply too!

I wanted to test my newly dusted off photoshop skills and decided to enter a challenge or two over at The Digital Press.

I love Gone Digital Designs and had bought few of their kits / elements / papers, so I was able to join in with their template challenge (see the main photo).

I still can't believe I won! So happy I won with this layout that honors my parents.

Catch The Bug: Bugaboo Sketch Challenge..

Hey,

Happy Saturday to you! A rare double post from me today..

I am having an awesome weekend.

I won the Bugaboo Anything Goes Challenge (10 digi stamp prize!!) AND I made 'The Cut Above' over at The Paper Players for my Punny Valentine.

How awesome is that! I had already made the card for Bugaboo's latest sketch challenge -

I decided to use one of my fave Bugaboo stamps (Party Pig Trio), I always have this stamp printed out at the correct size for my cards and it gets used A LOT.

I coloured the stamp using Promarkers and Spectrum Noir sparkle markers, then die-cut it using a scalloped rectangle die.

I went with a glittery paper that I found on the floor in my craft room recently for the strip on the left and the 'happy' banner is an ancient print out from one of my fave digital companies Pink Petticoat. For a bit of interest I die-cut the banner using a die by Sizzix, kindly gifted to me by JT.

To finish my card I added the 'Birthday' sticker and some Nuvo crystal drops here and there.

You'll be seeing a lot more Bugaboo from me this week, as I am going to be playing along with their 8th birthday bash. I love their stamps and it's always fun to play with digi's.
