DSP Designer Finder Contest

Sorry it has been so long since the last time that I posted anything here. Between Hurricane Ike and the recovery we had a very eventful September and October. We are finally getting back to normal. At the beginning of November I participated in a Designer Finder Contest at Digital Scrapbook Place. I created 2 kits during the first 3 rounds. It was a wonderful experience and a chance for me to try my hand at some knew things in designing. The first kit, Handmade Christmas, was based off of the ornaments that my sister and I made as children. This kit contains 4 papers, 2 angels, 2 cords, 1 star frame, 1 word art, and 2 holly and berry clusters. The layout is of my son and our new puppy. I had the brilliant idea to take a photo of the two of them in front of our Christmas tree using the natural light in the room. It was a truly fun experience to get the two of them to sit still long enough for the picture to be taken.

The second kit that I created is Elements of Earth. This is a fun funky kit that is based loosely on the Chinese form of conji. I used it to scrap some portraits taken of my sisters family this past summer. It contains 1 knotted rope, 1 knotted ribbon, 4 papers, 1 flower, 4 photo corners, 1 brad, 1 eyelet, and 1 paper clip.

School Fun?

Well September has finally arrived with a bang here and that means one thing for all the kids back to school. Such a fun and fabulous time for everyone. To celebrate I have crated a new kit called "School Fun?", not sure who the fun is for the parents or the kids. My son couldn't wait for school to start again this year as he gets ready to go into the 1st grade. Here are two layouts that I did with the larger kit with photos that I took on the first day.

I had to buy him a box of 64 crayons this year and was inspired by all of the different colors that comes in it. I kept thinking of things that you would find in an elementary school classroom and have included some dolls, borders, and stars. I hope you enjoy using the mini kit as much as I did creating it. The mini kit contains 4 papers, a ribbon, a frame, 2 dolls, 1 word art.
