They're Back!

When I came home from work today, I was absolutely thrilled to see a Rose-Breasted Grosbeak sitting at the window feeder. And as I watched this afternoon, I spotted two females & four males in the backyard. A sure sign of winter's passing! Now I only hope they will decide to spend the whole summer with us like they did last year. Our friends said they saw a Baltimore Oriole yesterday -- one more sign. Happy birding!

Project Heritage May Kit by PattyB Designs


 I've been working on a new-to-me kit from PattyB Scraps over at Wilma 4 Ever - a great place to pick up goodies for your digital scrapping & lots of great challenges each month!
Here's PattyB's kit -- click on the image to link to her store:

 
And here's a look at the layouts made with the kit --
 
 
 
And one more --
 
 
This last one is a quick page that I put together --
you can pick it up without my family photo & the text here.
All you have to do is put your photo on a layer behind the QP
& add your own text (or not).
 
I also made a little cluster for you - click on the cluster
to link to my dropbox & it's your's to use in your own LOs:
 
 
Have a wonderful day & happy scrapping!

Topical Tuesday -- Neighbor

I think my layout for this topic says it all. Praying for the people of Boston & around the world who were there for the Marathon.

I'm on a roll!

Well I did it! I finished another layout for PattyB Design's "That's the Way It Was" kit. Not only that, but I did 2 clusters!
Here's a preview of the kit found at Wilma4Ever:


Here's the LO, this kit really does well for heritage photos:


I kind of altered an old ad jingle for Oldsmobile -- do you remember that one?
 And here's the cluster's I promised, just click on the image to download at 300 dpi copy of the cluster:


 

I think I'm having trouble with the dropbox, if you're frame cluster isn't a png file with no background, let me know & I'll try to fix it.

Happy Scrapping!




More inspiration

I finished up the Alien Invasion with a quick page.....


You can snag it here -- or go to April's store at Wilma4Ever to get the full kit.

I've also started working with PattyB's "The Way It Was Then" Kit )also at Wilma4Ever) to use with all the slides I've been scanning. It's beautiful kit!
Here's my first LO using it....


Hey, it's stormy here! Have to bake brownies for soon-to-be 17-year-old grandson. Have a glorious day & I'll get back with more from PattyB's kit & another freebie real soon -- maybe another QP or a cluster for you.

Inspired

I've been inspired & sort of creating outside my normal box. I've been working with April the Scrapaholic's "Alien Invasion" kit over at Wilma4Ever. You can find the kit here. It has these cute little space creatures that just looked like they needed scrapping -- not my normal flowers & wildlife style. When I went searching for a photo to use & saw this one of Logan from a very long time ago -- he's almost 14 now -- I thought it would fit right in. The photo is a little blurry, but it just works. Here's the layout I did:

 
And to show you the versatility of the papers & elements I did this one with some goose photos I took last week: -- doesn't look a bit like an alien invasion does it?
 
 


And I finally got started on the challenges at Wilma4Ever (they've got a new batch of challenges each month -- see the one's for April here.)
I just started at the top with the Ad Challenge for April --

 
You have to use 50% of your elements & papers from Wilma4Ever's designers, but there's lots of freebies to get you started -- and you often get more free things when you participate in the challenges. The flowers are here from ABCreation's Chinese New Year kit.

I've got more coming soon -- but it's time to fix supper for my DH.
