Treasure

I picked up this template over at Divine Digital as part of Hetty's weekly sketch challenge. It's fabulous! I also finally used my Ocean Breezes papers (in a layout that is - one of them I actually had printed and framed as art in our home)! The starfish is from my Beach Bum kit (also available at Divine Digital). Shell embellishment is by Lemonaid Lucy's Summer Escapades kit.

Cousins

This layout was for a 4th of July Lyrics Challenge over at The Shaker Box. The kit was a chat freebie from the Digital Creative Team's sponsor for July, Kris Myers. It is her new Country Antiques kit that you can find at Plain Digital Wrapper.

I got my wings!

July Digital CT at The Shaker Box

This month the creative team at The Shaker Box is working for Kris Myers who sells at Plain Digital Wrapper. I can't wait to see all of the layouts that the team creates with Kris' fabulous designs!

Mark your calendars for a fun chat at The Shaker Box on Thursday, July 10th at 3 pm PST, 4 pm MST, 5 pm CST and 6 pm EST.

I that hope you will come chat with us, learn more about Kris and what inspires her in her digital scrapbooking designs. She will be offering a freebie, so you know you want to make time to be there!

Happy 4th of July!

Wishing my fellow Americans a happy 4th of July!

You can pick up my celebrate mini kit for free at The Shaker Box (you will need to log in and check out to download it).


Create a celebration layout using this mini kit and post it in The Shaker Box gallery by July 15th for a chance to win your choice of one of my kits in the online store at The Shaker Box!

New Layouts!

There is an online crop going on over at The Shaker Box with challenges galore. Something like 40 challenges in 15 days! It's my goal to complete one challenge per day. I'm still coordinating the digital creative team over there, but I have stepped down from working with our sponsor's products each month and I'm finding it liberating - I can scrap with whatever I want! Hopefully this will free up a little more time and creativity to work on my own designs!

Swirls of Shadowbox Memories

Now at The Shaker Box!

Digital Compilations by Cinda presents Swirls of Shadowbox Memories.

You will have lots of refreshing color to highlight your favorite memories.

Drop shadows are for preview only.

The kit includes: seven papers - five doodled "solids", an embossed solid (in cream - not shown in preview) and a "painted" paper; eleven elements - a charm, a flower, "painted" cardboard, a shadowbox, various swirls, a wax seal and a wrap; and an alpha (A-Z, caps only).

The alpha is hybrid scrapbooking friendly - just print and use your circle punch. I think you'll find the cardboard and shadowbox easy to cut out too - add style without adding bulk!

All of this fun for just $3.95!
