Oak Point Preserve

 

As I started this two-page spread, I was trying to figure out what colors to use.  My initial thought was blue and brown -- as it is a nature page.  I've used brown in many of my layouts, so I wanted to try something different.  I decided to try using green (Certain Celery to be exact).... and then I thought it would be great to only incorporate two colors within the page -- making my photos stand out.  So here you have Basic Black paired with Certainly Celery.

My two-page spread is of a trip we took to Dallas.  We met up with Mike's co-worker (at the time), and became good friends, as we spent a lot of time together during the weeks we were there.  The van Belzen family (Peter, Louise, Emer and Caoimhe)!  We spent the day on a nature walk through a preserve that was very close to their home.

I think it turned out rather sophisticated with just the two colors.  What are your thoughts!

Thanks for taking a peek!

Created another spread for my 2010 scrapbook. <---Still a lot to scrapbook, but the more pages I do...the closer I am to the end! = )
This two-page spread didn't follow any challenges this time ... just had my own layout in mind.

Hybrid Sweet Vintage

My niece will be turning 16 this year, and really loves the color green! I really liked the Fresh Vintage stamp, but didn't have it...then, I thought, wait, I have it in My Digital Studio. So awesome! Especially, since I could size the stamp bigger than the actual stamp size.  

I started with a 4x5.25 punch (filled w/Lucky Limeade), then stamped the image (filled it with white from the color palette, next I copied and pasted the image in place (changed the color to lucky limeade) and moved it over 2 clicks (with the arrow keys). After placing the font in (using white text), I printed it on Very Vanilla cardstock. This way....the Very Vanilla will show through in all the places that 'white' was used from the color palette.
