For those of you that are fans of Shimelle you know that she is out on maternity leave and will be having guest posts on her website. The first guest post was from Relly and includes a scrapbook challenge titled "Journal About Places." Hope you enjoy my digital page showcasing a few photos taken last fall in Kyoto, Japan.
Here is my page for Scrapbook Challenges sketch #386. The papers are from Stampin' Up! and I used MDS software to put everything together. This picture was taken in Japan from our room at the Biwako Hotel.
Here is this week's page for Scrapbook Challenges sketch #382. Kobi is our rescue dog from Labrador Rescuers. She was found wandering the streets of San Bernardino and looked absolutely horrible but as you can see she cleans up nicely and has turned out to be a wonderful girl. I used Stampin' Up's MDS software to create the page. The title was a freebie from Salt Town Studio.
Happy President's Day Weekend! Here is this week's page for Sketch #380 from Scrapbook Challenges. Since we haven't had snow here in California since mid December I decided to live vicariously through my nephew as he took the official snow measurement in Virginia. A whopping 16 inches and counting.
Here is the most current Sketch to Scrapbook page from Shimelle. The focus of this page is "A Design for Landscape and Portrait Photos." For whatever reason I really struggled with this page although I was initially really excited about all of the vibrant colors in the photos. Anyway, the papers, the stitching and the washi tape are all from Stampin' Up! and created using My Digital Studio software.
Here is a scrapbook page that I did for My Digital Studio's challenge titled "Boys Will Be Boys." All the products shown are Stampin' Up!
This week's sketch from Shimelle is titled "Scrapbooking with a patterned paper you don't want to hide." For my page I used the Travel Journal DSP as the focal point and accented the page with other sheets from the set. Although this is a digital page, I actually have this paper and I had been saving this sheet because it was just too nice to use.
This past weekend Shimelle released two new sketches...so happy! The focus of this latest sketch was adapting a page sketch for Project Life. Although I don't use Project Life, I do appreciate its simplicity so I really loved this concept.
Here is this week's scrapbook sketch from Shimelle, "Scrapbooking with Square Photo Prints". All the paper layers are from Stampin' Up's! Delight In the Day set. The title is from Sahlin Studio. The page was created using MDS software.
Well now I'm on a roll and I can't wait to do the next sketch from Shimelle. Here is sketch 3 with a focus on two photos in two quadrants. This is also the last of my Gettysburg photos from December so I'll be moving into Christmas for the next sketch (I think).
I am slowly but surely catching up. The focus of this sketch from Shimelle is using two 4x6 portrait photos. I chose these photos since they had similar colors and seemed to work well in a 4x6 format.
Since I haven't been doing much scrapbooking lately I thought it would be fun to follow along with Shimelle and her scrapbook sketches. In this sketch her focus is on the large photo....something I would have never thought of using as a background. I used Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio software because my photos have yet to make it to the printer.
I used My Digital Studio software from Stampin' Up! to create this digital scrapbook page. The photos were arranged using the TurboCollage app available for iPhone, mac and droid users. I then cropped the photos using iPhoto and added the small rectangles along the edges to simulate filmstrips.
