CSD July QP Contest & Freebie

It’s time again for Coolscrapdigital’s Quick Page Contest. This month, we  were to create with the kit “Happiness” by Pretty Ju.  And here is my layout:

I used photos of my children when they were young – oh, how quickly they grow!

“Floral Suprise” Cluster Frame Freebie

At the request of Created By Jill, I had the fun task of creating some cluster frames.  Here is the first of three, this one is made from the kit “Floral Suprise”:

Coolscrapdigital Quick Page Contest June 2011 & Freebie

I participated in another CSD QP Contest.  This time, the kit provided was “Devout Memories” by Kaklei Designs:

Just in time for the summer! Created By Jill Scraps has a new kit out.  It is called Strawberry Summer, and is filled with lots of fun summer elements and papers:

CT for Created By Jill Scraps & Freebie

I have been invited to be part of Created By Jill Scraps Creative Team.  Yay!!!  I first came across Jill and her designs when I participated in  a challenge featuring one of her kits.  Jill has a fun and colorful style that just seems to work for any project.  Before her next kit comes out, she asked me if I wanted to work with one of her other kits, and of course I said yes :-). I chose her Hey Birdie Bundle:

And here is a layout I made using Hey Birdie. I ran into my daughters physical therapist at the local farmer’s market with his adorable daughter:

And here is a quick page freebie for you to download.  It differs slightly from the layout above:

Coolscrapdigital Quick Page Contest

I participated in Coolscrapdigital’s Quick Page Contest.  We were given a kit called “Suprise” created by Jill, which we used to come up with a Quick Page design.  It was fun so I made two.  I submitted the first one.  Both QP’s can be downloaded for personal use from here or at the Coolscrapdigital site:

Addies Bugs & Grapes And My Alpha Freebie

Addie of Addies Designs is hosting another scrapbooking challenge.  You can find the challenge at Coolscrapsdigital, CU Pack for a freebie.  Addie is giving away these very cute bugs and grapes and we are to make freebies with them:

All the other designers/participants have made very nice elements and kits.  I thought it would be fun to make coordinating alphas to go with them:

Zentangle Challenge #10 The Space Between

Rather than fill every space on the tile, for this challenge, we were to leave open spaces:

I purposely made this tangle into a frame.  Here is a colored version if you would like to download it for personal use (PSD file with mask):

I love this photo – it is of DH’s grandparents.

Addies Roses And My Very First Scrapbook Freebie

I am so excited! Addie of Addies Designs is hosting a scrapbooking challenge.  You can find the challenge at Coolscrapsdigital, CU Pack for a freebie.  Addie is giving away these very pretty roses and we are to make freebie elements with them:

I have been having fun learning digital graphics/design (on my own and at my own pace) and felt up to the challenge.  When I saw the roses, I thought, Mother’s Day! So, without further ado, here is what I came up with:

The above is DH with his mother (isn’t he cute! :-)), and the following is my own beautiful mother:

The white frame is from Delicious Scraps, and the Mother quotes are unknown.  And you can download the freebie frames here for your own personal use:
