Today is the day …

Today is the day when for the first time this winter I could go and play tennis without a scarf since it was nice and sunny outside. Today is the day when for the first time this winter I was overrun by people and balls at the tennis court – yes, the students are back! (But I also get to have someone to play with, which is fun!) Today is the day when the streets on campus are filled with students again, and most of the stores are open. Today is the day when the supermarket downstairs has piles of toilet paper set up in front of the entrance – yes, the students need to stock up on necessities. Today is the day when I decided that I’ll go and get a meal in one of the student cafeteria some time soon, and treat myself to a cup of caramel milk tea. Today is the day when I’m glad that life is back to normal again.

Freebie Friday: Treasured

Published by Sula H.

The internet hasn’t been liking me very much, these days, but still, I’ve managed to get you a new template today. It’s based on my layout “Treasured Memories.” (I hope you can see the preview image, because I can’t. lol – Bad. Bad bad internet!!!) Anyways, I was having fun creating this page, and hope you’re having fun working with this template. As always, let me know what you do with this template by linking us up with your finished layout in the galleries. And as always: Happy Friday, scrappers! Note: Please do not re-distribute this template in any way (you may share the link to this post), and when you use this template, please make sure to credit it to Misty Hilltops Designs.

Inspire Me: Kelleanne

Published by Sula H.

I’ve got something new to inspire you this week. I’ve known her layout since years, ever since I first set eyes on a beautiful page of hers, called {The beach people}, which she posted in the galleries about two years ago. And ever since then, have I been an on-and-off stalker of her gallery. If I was asked to define her style, I’d clearly include it in the category of “clean design,” though she also knows how to scrap other styles. If you’re looking for more inspiration, then Kelleanne’s gallery is definitely worth a trip. Here’s one of her more recent pages: And you can find her gallery HERE.

Behind the Scenes: Enhancing Legibility of Your Journaling on Patterned Papers – Part 1.

Published by Sula H.

I  love patterned papers. I think it was the pretty papers that actually got me hooked to (digi) scrapping in the first place. So, when creating layouts with some of the beautiful kits the designers create, of course I like to have some of the patterns shine. Often, however, using patterned papers as a background of a layout can be quite distracting, and the journaling at times can become pretty much illegible when we try to write on patterned papers. Throughout the years of my scrapbooking journey, I’ve discovered a few ways of how to find a happy compromise between using patterned background papers and making them work on a layout. One of these little tricks I will share here with you today, and the magic word is … Blending Take this layout, for instance: I used Dani Mogstad’s cute winter kit “Chill Out” for this, which has quite some pretty patterned papers, including the snowflake paper I used for the background. While working on the page, however, I realized that the pattern made the …
