Treasure Sunday: January 8th

I’ve been hunting again. Those treasures in the galleries, that is. And look what I found … Crash Landing by ~Karen~ I was having so much fun with this page. Not only do I like the line across the page to which she clipped her elements and title, but the photo captures the memory perfectly, and the journaling says it all!   Street Art by faby33 Moving on to a quite graphic and artistic page. What a great job she did with the brushes and the blending. I love the messiness of it all, the stamps she added, and the bits and pieces of wordart blended into the whole!   Glimpses of Prague by Therese And while we’re at it, I’m going to show you another quite graphic, but beautiful page! What totally caught my eye with this one, were the beautiful photographs that she edited so perfectly. Love the title work, too, and that with the huge white space, she gave the photos room to speak for themselves!   50 Things About Me by …

Staying Positive

Holidays. Winter break. That means 1 1/2 month of solitary confinement on a campus that is nearly completely deserted. Sounds dull? Well … but there are some positive things about that, if you just look hard enough. Like the internet. I can finally do stuff online now after 4 pm in the afternoon without getting stuck on a website that takes like an hour to open. Why? Because the students are gone. Because no one is watching online soap operas and plays computer games anymore as soon as class is over. Because there simply aren’t enough people on campus to slow down the internet so much that no one can do anything online at all anymore! So, that’s great, right? After all, it is “yay” for winter holidays that give me a break!

Last Day of School

I can’t believe another semester of school is officially over – as of today. Most of my foreign colleagues have deserted the campus already, and the vast majority has left as well. For the next couple of weeks, I’ll have to be content with quiet solitude! Or maybe not? We’ll see …

Freebie Friday: Life

  Freebie Friday always is a happy Friday for me, since I get to share another one of my templates with you. This one’s featuring my layout “Life Happens,” and I love how it’s the 44th freebie template that I’ve created for you! Anyways, I hope you can find some use for this template, and as always I’d like to see what you do with it. 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.

We Are Moving …

Just thought I’d let you know that MistyHilltops.com is moving. No, not to a new address. We’re just switching servers, since we’ve reached the limit of our traffic allowance with our current webhosting service – in other words, you guys are giving me too much traffic, lol! But that’s a good thing, I guess. So, I’m not complaining at all that there’s actually enough people out there who think to stop by MistyHilltops every once in a while. But, we have to move. And I’m only glad that I don’t have to pack up a lot of things, and carry lots of boxes and what not. But then, our last move with MistyHilltops was a nightmare just the same, as it took a couple of days to figure out what was wrong. Anyways, all I’m saying is that, if things get a bit wonky with MistyHilltops in the next couple of days, just beware that there’s stuff going on behind the scenes here, and that we’ll try to get everything worked out as quickly as …
