Who doesn’t like summer? All the fun outdoors, the picnics, the visits to the lake (or pool), the trips to the ice cream parlors (at least in Europe), the family vacation … Today’s journaling prompts, therefore, are all about what to do on those perfect summer days. There you have it! And since I love to scrap what others journal, here’s my take on today’s prompts. I scrapped about what a perfect day in the summer would look like for me:
This week with my family has been fun, and so I decided to scrap about one of the things that happened. But first, of course, I should show you the layout that inspired my page: Ok, so what I loved about this page was the overall composition and all the little details, like the hard element, the butterfly, the little wordart pieces. I also loved the use of paper as a mat, so I tried to incorporate a couple of these things on a digital page of my own, and here’s what came of it …
Ahoy, mates and friends of the digital scrapbooking guild! I’m excited yet once more, because I get to begin sharing a new kit with you. This one’s all about misty days by the ocean, though the kit is versatile enough for you to use in other digital (& hybrid) scrapbooking projects as well. As always, “Daybreak by the Sea” is jam-packed with unique papers and elements, some of them specifically created for this kit. Today you’ll receive the first part, the alphas (no surprise there for those who know how the routine goes, huh!). I hope you’ll enjoy this kit, and please … I’d be excited to see what you’ve created with this kit and any other of my freebie kits for that matter. Remember, please, to credit everything to Misty Hilltops Designs, and keep in mind my Terms of Use, which means you may only use the contents of this product for your own personal scrapbooking needs (no commercial use, no direct-linking to the download page at mediafire, no sharing of any part …
Can you imagine the fun I’m having with my Silhouette machine? For my sister and my mom I had to cut these adorable cupcake wrappers that make great little candle holders, and look oh so very pretty on any table. They’re available in the Silhouette Online store. Here are a couple more images from my sister’s blog:
Look what I stumbled upon: Another website with fun free printables. You like Project Life? Then this one might be for you. Check out this, and the other free printables they offer on this website. Did you notice all the little extra stuff they also put on the page above? And no worries, the quality of the downloadable image is going to be good for printing, not like my preview here. There you have it. Hop on over to grab your free printables, and happy scrapping!
Summer is the time to have fun. I’m sure you’re having lots of fun with families, friends, the activities you’re doing, so it’s about time to start writing about all the fun days you’re having. Here are today’s journaling prompts: And my page comes with it just as promptly. I journaled about the fun I had with my sister this summer. Take a look …
I found a fun page again that I took upon me to scraplift. Check out this layout, which was posted in the Sunday Sketch section at Studio Calico. Like it? Me, too. What I loved about this layout apart from the way the title had been created, was the paper arrows, stitches, and the papers layered behind the photo. I also loved the bright and whimsical colors, so I went ahead and tried to incorporate most of these things on my own page …
Yes! Time to celebrate (and get scrapping, of course), because today you receive the last part of my scrapbooking kit “Find Joy.” I hope you’ll have fun scrapping with this, and of course, if you like, I’d be excited if you could link me up with the pages you create with any of my freebie kits. (If you’ve missed a part, or older freebie kits, they’re still available for download, just see the tag “freebies” for more.) Of course, my terms of use apply as always, which means you can only use this kit or parts of it for your personal scrapping; no sharing in part or all (though you’re welcome to share links to mistyhilltops.com), no commercial use, etc. … just check the TOUs, if you’re in doubt. And now that we have this settled, I’m excited to share with you a preview of what’s coming next: This kit is called “Daybreak by the Sea,” and you can start collecting it next week. It’s jam-packed with unique goodies, so make sure to come back …
Having a nifty little machine like the Silhouette to do all your crafting is just the greatest fun ever. Naturally, I have to get all my creative juices going to try out new things, and to create little pretty things, such as this card: Admitted, this isn’t actually a true hybrid project. I made this card with some old scrapbook papers that I still had in my stash (and which now my sister has), so it’s actually a real scrapbooking project. But who cares. It’s pretty, and that’s what matters. Here’s a little detail of the card:
Are you looking for some more inspiration for your pages? Then I may have a link for you that may interest you. Kaiser Kraft, which is rather a big name in the paper scrapbooking world, also has much to offer for the digital scrapper – at least as far as inspiration goes. A while back I stumbled over their website which comes with a bunch of free magazines (of course, it’ll help their business, no doubt), but even for us digital scrappers there are lots of ideas and inspiration hidden in their pages. For example, they present lots of layouts and even a free sketch with every issue. Don’t miss out on some gorgeous inspiration and hop on over to check things out (if you haven’t done so yet!).
