Dream little one...

This one uses tons of blending into the background and then shadowing the elements that are being blown by the wind... I used two kits by NewLife Dreams. Dream Little Mouse and The Invisible World.

All you need is love...

This is pretty much a direct scraplift of the Sydney example LO for the kit All you need is love by Natali Designs. There is just an amazing amount of detail in her LO too...

Heavenly Max

Heavenly Max

The only interesting thing that I did with this kit was to combine two of the partial flowers together to make them one. I also did a lot of element interacting by making two layers of an element and putting another element inbetween them and erasing the desirable places on the top layer of the two... Then you add the shadow to the bottom layer of the pair...

Max's balloon ride...

Another kit that I bought used... this time I looked through the scrapbook site's gallery and then tried to make my own LO. Used a couple of ideas from what I saw of course! The kits are The Innocent Imagination by Jofia Devoe and In the Pixie Forest by Nicole Young. You may notice that I also used Jofia's kit to make my current blog background too!

A new look!

I tried out a new background for the blog here! And I have put the link under tools for where to go to get this blog background as well as a couple more. You can visit the Nicole link for the backgrounds and the tutorial for how to customize your own blog. I will probably tinker around and make my own background shortly, but for now I'm just happy to have this up and running.

Some more kits that I have "collected" used in a LO... yay! This time I used Madeleine, Heaven Sent and Sweetness all created by Birgit Kerr. I was inspired by/lifted one of her quick pages found here. The quick pages are in 8x8 and I wanted to keep my 12x12 size, plus I just love this style and wanted to try to copy it. I also used Meryl Bartho's overlay for the antiqued look on the background.

New challenge...

Yep... a new year and a new challenge to myself. I've been wanting to add to my style so I've challenged myself to take a kit that I love and then to scraplift or be inspired by a LO that I find made with the kit. I started with Thoughts by MK Designs. The LO I was inspired by is located here. I'm very excited by the idea of getting a new direction in my scrapping style!
