Enable Me: FontSquirrel

Published by Sula H.

Font lovers, take heed! I found this website the other day, which has a large collection of awesome free fonts. And what’s best about them, they’re all commercial use fonts. So, if you’re looking for more great fonts to add to your collection, don’t miss it! There’s all sorts of handwriting fonts, script fonts, typewriter fonts, etc. … some of which I’ve never seen on any of the other big free font websites. So, if you haven’t checked out this source yet, you might want to do that!

Behind the Scenes: 6 Ways of Scraplifting

Published by Sula H.

Who of us hasn’t stumbled upon a pretty scrapbook page in one of the galleries, and thought, Oh man, why haven’t I come up with the idea for this page? That, however, doesn’t mean you still can’t use that idea on one of your own pages. The solution to the problem? Scraplifting, duh! But there’s more to scraplifting than scraplifting, if you know what I mean. There are lots of ways, in fact of how you can lift someone else’s layout.   No. 1 | Whole Layout Probably the most common way of scraplifting (at least for my part) is to reproduce the whole page. You take a layout, look at the way papers and elements are arranged, and then you copy that straight onto your own canvas.       No. 2 | Clusters Another way of scraplifting is to take one cluster and reproduce it on your own page. This could be the main cluster of a composition, but leaving out other details, or it could be parts of a cluster. Lifting clusters of other …

Journaling Café: Everyday Simple Things

Published by Sula H.

              While pretty much all of us love the special occasions in life, things that make our lives fun and exciting, to be honest, most of our lives take place in the everyday routine, the mundane things. But usually, its the little things which take up most of our lives that get neglected the most in our journaling and scrapbooking. So, today, I came up with a couple of journaling prompts that will help you slow down for a moment and think about the simple things in everyday life. And of course, I already reflected myself, and here’s the page I came up with:  Font used in the prompt is DJB Squirrels in My Pants by Darcy Baldwin, available at sweetshoppe.com

P2D: This Is Everyday

Published by Sula H.

Let’s get back to paper to digi business. I went on a search for another nice traditional scrapbook page to scraplift, and found myself this:     And because I liked this page, I took it as the basis for a page of my own, and out came this … This Is Everyday Now, see, the beauty of scraplifting is that you don’t have to everything exactly according to the original layout. You have that which is called “creative freedom!” For me, that creative freedom usually looks like this: I find myself a pretty page I like, and I use it as a springboard for inspiration. Usually, however, the end result turns out really different, because either add extra things to my page, or take away what was on the original. The end result is a page that reflects your own personality and scrapping style. Despite it being “merely” a scraplift. Now it’s your turn! Why don’t you go and find yourself a pretty page from one of the traditional scrapbooking galleries and start working …

Freebie Friday: A Cozy Christmas – Part 5

Published by Sula H.

Yippieeeh! Late (as always, lately), but here it is! The last installment of “A Cozy Christmas!” Now you can go off and scrap your not yet scrapped Christmas memories. (I still got tons of them, which I’ll probably never get to scrap!) Anyhow, since this is the last part of this kit, it’s about time for me to announce what I have up my sleeves, next! Yes, yes, there’s more to come, and I’ve been busy busy designing lately, figuring out how things work on that side of the scrapbooking art, and I’m happy to share with you a peek at the next kit I have for you: “A Cup Full of Winter” is my third kit I’ve created for you, and it’s again jam-packed with goodies of all sorts. (And I should express a heartfelt “Thanks” to my mom who actually keeps contributing by sending me pictures of things from her home that I can extract! So all of you, who get to play with this in a couple of weeks, say: Thank you, …
