Beautiful Ending by Michelle Underwood

Michelle Underwood has a new kit out at Two Peas in a Bucket called Beautiful Ending.

And coordinating solids:

Isn't it sweet! Right off the bat, I adored the pretty flowers Michelle included in the kit. It reminded me of the lilacs that I wanted at our wedding. That didn't work out so well, since our wedding got moved up drastically after Sept. 11. But we still had a nice wedding. :)

Here are the layouts I created using this kit:

Thanks for looking. I hope this brings some small feeling of spring to all of you that are snowed in! (That includes me!)

Two Page Layouts

Have you ever created a 2-page layout? I've wanted to do a 2-pager for quite awhile, but just never tried. I used to make matching, coordinated 2-page layouts all the time when I scrapped with paper, but for some reason, I just haven't done so with my digital layouts.

In December, snow fell here, and our family went out and had a blast in the snow. I'm a ND girl originally, and my love of snow will never die! :) Anyway, we ended up getting some really great photos, and I decided THIS was the time. I was going to create a 2-page layout! :)

If you've ever wondered how to do it, this is what to do. Open a blank file, and set the size to 24 inches wide and 12 inches tall. (7200x3600) Create your layout. This is how mine turned out.

When you are finished, and happy with your project, set the crop tool to 12 inches x 12 inches and cut each page out.

So, here's my page 1:
And page 2:

Easy! Right? To make my page even easier, I used a 2 page template by Mandagirl. She has quite a few nice, free templates!

I used the Winter Romance kit by Michelle Underwood for my pages. It totally fit the photos and I'm happy with how the layouts came out!

Tons of new stuff!

Amy Sumrall has been working away on a bunch of new digiscrap products! Here are a few of her latest releases.

Out today: Peaches for Me at Scrap Orchard, where she is guest designer this month!
Super cute. This kit just screamed of my sister Anna. I found a photo from a few years ago to scrap.

Amy also released some new things at The LilyPad. Here are some basic items:

And an older kit, that I fell in love with.

I put them together, and here's what I got. My first no-photo layout. I think it turned out pretty good for no photos. What do you think?

Pamela Donnis put together a fantastic grab bag at the Digi Chick. It is well worth the money! Go take a look. It is jam packed with cute feltie elements.

Here's a peek at some of what is inside:

Perfect for a layout of one of the twins and his favorite Christmas gift!

Thanks for looking!

I've been published!

I'm very excited, I submitted a layout to Scrapbook News and Review and it was published in this months magazine! It was one of my first CT layouts for Michelle Underwood that I titled "Adore". I used Michelle Underwood's "Vintage Christmas Memories" kit and alpha.

If you buy the magazine, it's under the Digital Delights ---> Inspiration ---> Multiple Photos. :)

Pimpin' my CT layouts!

Sooo, I've been scrappin' away this week! I've got a lot to show off today!

Let's start out with Pamela Donnis.

I scrapped this week with a few items that are not necessarily new, but very cute. I've been potty training my twin boys, so when I saw these elements, I knew exactly what I needed to do! I had also grabbed a train kit to scrap some Christmas pictures, but the colors were perfect. I also fell in love with these stitches!

Here's what I came up with:

Michelle Underwood

She was featured at the Daily Digi this month! I LOVE the colors. By the way, if you've never checked out the Digi Files, you really should take a minute to see what $5 can get you!

Here's Michelle's newest release at Two Peas:

I decided to dig up some older photos from when the twins were born for this kit:

Amy Sumrall

She put out some fantastic paper packs this week:

I love white backgrounds. It really allows the focus to rest on the photos!

And some nice neutrals:

New from Amy Sumrall and Pamela Donnis

It's been awhile, eh? Sorry about that. I am really trying to get back into a dependable routine after that nice long Christmas break!

First off, here's a teaser of something BIG that is coming soon:

Amy Sumrall has been busy releasing a bunch of new items over at the-Lilypad! Here are her January BYOC items (images are linked):

I loved this kit! I plan to do quite a few more layouts with this kit!
