Spring Fever-New Release by Duo-licious

Spring Fever was released at Scrapbook Bytes this week, and I had the chance to play and make a fun page.

At Scrapbook Bytes

My kids were outside a couple of weeks ago, taking advantage of a break in the weather, and this kit was perfect to capture that outing.

I thought you might like this page as a quick page. I also made it as a single photo page, with a spot for journaling.

1 Photo or 2 Photos

As Promised- a paper stack

I've been having fun recently, making paper stacks. I like to slightly messy look and seeing the different papers peeking out from under the other papers. This paper stack is a little different, the papers are so beautiful that I couldn't bear to cover them up that much so I make a bulletin board style stack. The peice of tape is even one of the papers, I've found that the worn and "messy" type papers make beautiful masking tape. So as a reminder, here is the kit:

And here is my page, using the stack and last week's cluster:

And last but not least, here is the freebie:

I'd love to hear your feedback and see what you come up with.

Have a great weekend and wish me luck, I have a group of ladies coming over tomorrow night to learn about Digital Scrapbooking. I'm excited to share with them, but nervous that it will all go well!

Layouts of the Week

The first layout I chose uses the kit End of Summer Blues. I struggle with white space layouts and this one was beautifully done. It truly captures the meaning of "Peaceful."

Be sure to leave some love!

The next layout uses Fresh Start. I love the clustering and layering on this page! It has beautiful composition and I love how she cropped the picture smaller for focus in the upper left cluster.

Be sure to leave her some love.

Try to stay warm this week!

Pretty in Pink & Cluster Frame freebie

Remember how I said that I love clustering with Mel's kits because she has such beautiful elements? Pretty in Pink is no exception, the kit includes so many high quality elements that you can mix and match to create so many different looks.

This cluster "only" took me about 3 hours to complete! :) (have you ever had a disagreement with your computer? I never win and my projects take far longer than usual)  

Usually with these wonderful kits I am able to play with the elements, arrange them to my liking and have a lot of fun in the process. Tonight was more of a challenge! 

I hope you enjoy the cluster, I like it and now I need to make a stack of papers to put it on- how would that be for a freebie? Maybe next week!

Using Mel's Products

I participated in a couple of challenges at Scrapbook Bytes and I used Mels Products.  They all match so well together!!  For this layout I used Awakening, Revitalize, Simply the Best and The Beautiful Life!! Try your hand at mixing and matching.  It is so easy with Mel's kits!!

You can find them all at Gotta Pixel
