Here’s a fun little site I’d like to share with you that has both, inspiration for your digital projects as well as a fun little tutorial (plus the coordinating cutting files free for download) on how to create this beautiful card. Interested? Then why don’t you hop on over to The Heartistic Project to check out their site and what they have to offer?
It’s been a long while since I did a tutorial post (though I’ve got lots of stuff to talk about, I simply haven’t had the time to work on something). But today is a day on which I’d like to take you behind the scenes of one of my pages – the thoughts, the processes, what helped me put this page together. Take a look at the layout “Happy Little Moments” created with the kit “Super Mom” by Heather Roselli (Sweetshoppe Designs): In this post you will learn about: Mats – how to use them for contrast between patterned pages; The Visual Triangle – how to create a visual flow in your composition; Journal Strips – to set off your journaling. The kit comes with lots of gorgeously patterned papers, and I really wanted to use some of those patterns on my page. The problem with patterned papers is that they can quickly make a page come across too busy, or photos, elements and journaling might get lost in the mix …
We all have things we use every day. Some things we desperately need (as in: can’t live without); other things we don’t really need, but they’re nice to have anyway. Take a look at today’s journaling prompts and reflect on what are the things you need on a daily basis? Of course, I put on my thinking cap as well and thought a bit about the things I use/need: Products used: You Should Know – Love You Wholly by Traci Reed & Meghan Layered Cards: Summer Vol. 2
The amount of inspiration I can get from paper scrappers seems endless. Just take a look at this page by Shannon Tidwell: I was intrigued by the ideas of using photos for a very messy background, and that is what I tried to recreate in my digital version of the page: Supplies used for this page: Girl Friday: Casual Hour by Traci Reed & Krystal Hartley
I’m excited because it’s time to begin sharing a new freebie kit. Summer is right around the corner, which means we’ll have plenty of opportunities to make memories of lots of lovely summer mornings. As usual, this kit is cram packed with goodies – from selected unique elements to the everyday flower, ribbon and button asset. You’ll get 25 patterned and solid papers as well as over 70 elements – all for free. And as always, we’ll begin with the alphas (of which there are four this time). As always, if you enjoy my designs, I would be really pleased if you could spread the word and point others this way, so more people can enjoy these freebies. Don’t forget, however, that my Terms of Use apply (no reselling, or re-destributing parts or all of any of my products, and sharing only by sending others to mistyhilltops.com), and that you may use my products only for your personal scrapping needs. And now that I’ve made myself clear, all I’m left to do is wish …
Are you someone who likes getting free stuff? Well, then I might have something for you today. There’s this website “Papercraft Inspirations” that comes not only with a ton of inspiration, but also with lots of free (and actually fun and awesome) printables (usually papers and ellies you can cut, ready on sheets). You need a little more persuasion? Then why don’t you go hop on over there to check and see, if this is something for you …

For some of us, the end of the school year is near, and that means, it’s a good time to think and reflect a little on what we’ve been learning. It’s also a great time to think about things you learned in the past as well as considering what you would like to learn in the future. Of course, I had to put together a page of my own, with some little reflection, and here’s the result: Now, it’s your turn writing (and scrapping, if you like).

Woot! I’m excited to share with you the last and final part of my freebie digital scrapbooking kit “Breath of Fresh Air.” Today, you’ll get the second parts of the elements, which means you’ll be all set to go and play with this. And maybe you could leave a link to your uploaded layouts in the comments, because I always love to see what you create with the kits I share. As always, my terms of use apply, which means you may only use this product for your personal scrapping. Now, I hope you’ll be able to create a couple of fun pages with this. And before I leave you to your scrapping, I’m excited to share with you a first glimpse of the kit that I’ll begin sharing with you next week: I called it “Summer Morning” because of the fresh and light feel to it. So, if you like it, don’t forget to come back next week, to start collecting the parts to this kit! And, of course, you could always point other …
