Bring Spring

Posted on April 12, 2013 by Jennifer

Queen Wild Scraps has beautiful spring kit being released today. I love the shades of purple and green together. You’ll also love the hand-drawn doodled look of some of the elements that Lahni made just for this kit.

There is also some beautiful coordinating word art.

You can pick up both the kit and the word art on sale until April 18th for 30% off. And you can both the kit and the word art in a bundle.

Here’s a layout by me. It showcases my cutie patootie Janette. Did you notice I turned the photos black and white except for Janette?

Here’s some gorgeous inspiration from the rest of the Wild Princesses.

Cindy is working on an album for her parents and she is adding these two pretty layouts of her mother to it.

Henriett has two layouts. The second uses I’m a Journalist II templates. Isn’t that calla lily gorgeous?

Kandice has two layouts. The first is a fun layout asking where is spring. The second uses I’m a Journalist II templates.

Kendra has a cute layout of her son and his friend.

Loni has two layouts with beautiful spring flowers.

Tina has two layouts. The first one is a sweet layout of her daughter. The second uses I’m a Journalist II templates.

Do You Believe in Fairies?

Do You Believe in Fairies?

This pixie dusted kit is a rework of a kit Dawna released about a year ago in her first store. Why did she redo this kit? Well, it’s a favourite kit of many and she wanted to release it in her current stores, but she has learned so much about designing in the past year that she wanted up update it to her current higher standards first. Dawna changed elements she wasn’t happy with, took some elements out that she couldn’t upgrade, and added some new elements to this kit.

It’s also a lot bigger than last year. Dawna combined the old kit with the add-on that she also has redone, and turned it into a mega kit with over 70 elements and 34 papers. Not shown in the preview above, is a full sparkly green alpha that is also now included in the kit!

Do You Believe in Fairies is available at Scraps N Pieces and Heritage Scrap. It’s on sale for 30% off until April 18th.

I love this kit! Look at the fantastic LO I made with it. Journaling reads: Jessica is enamored with the dress-up Tinkerbell she picked out on our Disney cruise. The collection of dresses and props gets carried around in a variety of purses and containers.

Sweet Baby Girl

Posted on April 11, 2013 by Jennifer

It’s Grab-a-byte time at Scrapbookbytes. Word Art World has six pieces for $1 each. I am showcasing four of them for you today.

My two layouts are about the birth of my niece, Aspen.

Journaling on first layout reads: After work, James and I met up at St. David’s Hospital to meet our new niece. She is absolutely adorable. I can’t wait until our baby girl arrives in another two months and the cousins get older and can be the best of friends. August 6, 2009

Five Layouts

Posted on April 9, 2013 by Jennifer

I realized I have a back log of layouts I haven’t shared here on my blog yet, so here are a number of them in no particular order.

This layout features Janette on her first day wearing her orthotic helmet.

Digikits: Queen Wild Scraps – all but 1 paper from Sweet Baby Girl, 1 paper and all ellies but 1 flower from Forty Weeks and 1 flower from Little Princess
Template: Amy’s Designs – SNP Template Challenge February 16-28, 2013
Fonts: Minnie, Kiss Me Quick and Life BT

I’m really happy with how this next layout, a speed scrap layout, turned out. I made it shortly after finding out my Dad had been diagnosed with cancer and I wanted to document how I am really my father’s daughter. It garnered me a layout of the day award at Scrapbookbytes.

Journaling reads: My Dad and I both enjoy taking photos and planning trips. I definitely know that my desire to type up an itinerary and label my photos comes from him. We also both like to read historical markers and look at maps. Out of all of my siblings, I am the only one who takes just as many photos of the architecture as my Dad. He’s always there when I need his advice. I can’t imagine life without him.

Digikit: Wendy Tunison Designs – World Traveler; camera from An Extraordinary Life, scatter from Two Hearts
Fonts: One Starry Night (title); Annie BTN (journal and date)

This layout was made during my photoshop techniques class. The technique was align and distribute, which I used on the title and subtitle.

Digikit: Karen Diamond Designs – Nature’s Beauty
Alpha: Designs by Shari – Daily Inspiration (Connie Prince freebie)
Template: Connie Prince – Sea the World
Font: Crazy Girls Blond BTN

This was another speed scrap layout. It’s interesting how for the most part my most recent vacation destinations are my favorite.

Digikit: Wendy Tunison Designs – World Traveler; Keystone Scraps – World Traveler, World Traveler Beach Escape, World Traveler Bonus Alpha
Font: Doctor Soos Light

This is about our neighborhood’s Christmas party. Journaling reads: Before leaving the holiday party, we paused on the community center lawn so the girls could run and twirl in the falling “snow” from the snow machine.

I hope you enjoyed these layouts. I’ll be back with more later this week showcasing some new kits.

Small World

I know this isn’t a normal TNS release day, but Dawna just HAD to get this in the store as soon as she could. It’s just too cute to hold onto any longer!

This adorable little kit is all about teensy tiny outdoors things. There are little mice, a gnome, ladybug, a mini picnic tea party, itsy bitsy flowers and much much more!

The best news of all is that this isn’t all there is to it! It started out as a mini kit to offer as the prize for True North Scraps’ speed scrap. But Dawna couldn’t stop. So she ended up breaking the kit into a full-size and a mini kit!

These will be sold individually, and both will be 30% off until April 4th. They are available in the True North Scraps stores at Heritage Scrap and Scraps N Pieces.

Here’s two layouts I made using this great kit! They’re both about the day my newest nephew was born.

Digikit: True North Scraps – Small World and Small World Add-on

Font: Patrick (journal)

I have a couple of things I’d like to remind you about. First of all… have you bought the True North Scraps store yet? The True North Scraps Facebook page has over 1000 likes now and Dawna is celebrating this milestone until the end of March with my a Buy My Store sale. This is SUCH a good deal! Her Scraps N Pieces store is only $25 for well over $200 worth of product.

In addition, Dawna has her new, smaller store at Heritage Scrap on sale also. This one is only $10 for over $75 worth of products! There’s one bundle in there that is worth $10 all by itself, and anything else you get over and above that would be free!

On top of that… did you see this fantastic collaboration between Keystone Scraps and True North Scraps that we released a few days ago?

This one is available in so many places! You can pick it up from either of the TNS stores, Heritage Scrap or Scraps N Pieces; OR you can grab it from one of Keystone Scraps’ stores, Go Digital Scrapbooking or Scraps N Pieces. Hurry though! This kit is on sale for 30% off, but that sale ends tonight!

And last but not least… Help Wanted!!
