Always On My Mind Templates from MBK

I don't usually like photos of me so you won't often find me scrapping myself! But one of my scrapping friends said that I should so I took her up on her challenge using this photo taken at my daughter's wedding.




For my layout I used the gorgeous ALWAYS ON MY MIND TEMPLATES from Made by Keuntje.


I also used the ALWAYS YOURS COLLECTION from Throwing Some Scraps Around (Digital Designs by Jodi).







Well, that's all for today. Talk to you again soon.

In Shreds Template from TSSA

Throwing Some Scraps Around has a new set of IN SHREDS TEMPLATES in her store this week.


I used the IN SHREDS TEMPLATES to make a layout with a photo that I recently received from my cousin Lynnett. It is a photo of her with her two granddaughters Libby and Abbey.


I was very pleased with the way it turned out. I used the A GREAT DAY packs from Throwing Some Scraps Around which is part of the NOVEMBER 2017 PIXEL IT at Pixels & Art Design.







I love the OMBRE PAPERS and I blended one of these with my background paper. It really makes the paper strips and the photo stand out.

Flower Power Templates from TCOT

Oh my, Lisa from The Cherry on Top has done it again with her wonderful pack of FLOWER POWER TEMPLATES.


I used one of my husband's wonderful photos of our garden for my layout. This photo of Penstemon was taken last summer.


I used GENTLE ON MY MIND from Throwing Some Scraps Around - part of the January PIXEL IT at Pixels & Art Design.





If you go to Lisa's Blog you will find a lovely free cluster frame to coordinate with GENTLE ON MY MIND as well as lots of scrapbooking hints and freebies. Look at the two beautiful layouts that Lisa created.

Creative Beast Templates from TCOT

Lisa from The Cherry on Top (Kreative Design Studio) has a fun pack of CREATIVE BEAST TEMPLATES in her Etsy Store.


I used the CREATIVE BEAST TEMPLATES to create a layout using photos of my daughter-in-law Charlie and her friend Angie taken at their friend Karens's 21st birthday party a few years ago. I just love this photo of them all dressed up.


The photo was just perfect to use with the BFF COLLECTION from Throwing Some Scraps Around (Digital Designs by Jodi). Here are a couple of the previews.



I'll be back soon with some more wonderful kits to share with you.

Owl Love You Always by TSSA

In my previous post I gave you details of the FOR THE LOVE OF FRIENDSHIP TEMPLATES that were created to raise funds for a scrappy sister who is in hospital following a serious accident. I used these Templates to create a layout of my three grandsons. The template that I used was from The Cherry on Top's contribution to the template pack.




Don't you just love the photos and the little owl sitting on the banner!

I also used OWL LOVE YOU ALWAYS from Throwing Some Scraps Around (Digital Designs by Jodi) which you can find in her stores here:

Pretty as a Peacock from TCOT

Oooo my favourite colour purple! The Cherry on Top (Kreative Design Studio) has a wonderful kit called PRETTY AS A PEACOCK. You can find it here:

Elements
Papers



The peacock lived in the grounds of the Garlic Farm where we had our holiday cottage. James and Daddy crept up on the peacock to get a closer look.


I used the PICTURESQUE 3 TEMPLATES (retired) from Brenian Designs


We had some sad news about one of our scrapping friends. She was involved in a very bad accident and has to spend several months in hospital. Lisa from The Cherry on Top, Dana from Made by Keuntje and Jodi from Throwing Some Scraps Around got together and created a fabulous pack of templates called FOR THE LOVE OF FRIENDSHIP. These templates are being sold to raise funds towards a new laptop so that she can continue her scrapping whilst in hospital.


You can find the FOR THE LOVE OF FRIENDSHIP TEMPLATES in the stores of all three designers involved:


I am sure that if you buy these templates you will love scrapping with them as much as the members of the Creative Teams. And you will be supporting a worthwhile cause.

Winter Mix Templates from TCOT

The Cherry on Top (Kreative Design Studio) has a fun WINTER MIX pack of templates in her Etsy store this week. They are perfect for all your winter and New Year layouts.


I just love the photo of James that I used in my layout with the snow globe template. He was just getting ready to throw a snowball at his Mum as he watched the fun from the kitchen door while she was cooking dinner.


For my layout I used the SPARKLE COLLECTION from Throwing Some Scraps Around (Digital Designs by Jodi) which you can find in her stores here:

Nature Calling by TSSA

Throwing Some Scraps Around's NATURE CALLING consists of one element pack and two paper packs which are part of the DECEMBER PIXEL IT at Pixels and Art Design.


I really loved the paper with the red leaves in Paper Pack 1 and toned it down by blending it with the woodgrain paper in Paper Pack 2. I think it made a perfect background for my layout. The photo was taken by my son-in-law on a family trip to Longleat.


The gorgeous cluster in my layout is based on a template (retired) from Brenian Designs.
