Catching Up

There's a bunch of layouts I've done that, for one reason or another, I haven't gotten around to posting. Time to play a little catch-up!

I did this one early last week as a gift for my niece. It matches her little sister's. Hopefully I'm not ruining the surprise by posting it here.

Here's one I did last week (Thursday maybe?) that I totally just forgot to post (both here and my other blog). This was for the scraplifting challenge at ScrapMatters. A few days after I did my layout, I took a look at this scrapper's blog and found that she actually made a template from her original layout! So -- if you like this design, pop on over to Trying to Be Crafty and get the two-page template pack.

And the colors! Aren't these fun? This was a participation prize for a challenge from National Scrapbooking Day (NSD). Am I allowed to use pink in a boy layout (and a boy layout where one boy is wearing a RED sweatshirt at that??) I say yes (obviously).

This one came together rather quickly and easily last Friday evening -- strange since I didn't have much of a design idea when I started.

And I did this yesterday for a speed scrap! It was a single-photo challenge (which is a challenge for me!), had to incorporate vertical and horizontal paper strips (check, check, check-check-checkity-check), had to use wordart. The toughest prompt came late in the challenge: use glitter or bling. Bling? With this as my color scheme?? But then I found those cardboard flowers with the jewels on them (Britt-ish Designs' Reuse Recycle Flowers) and realized they were perfect (and besides, technically those squiggles are glitter squiggles, even if they aren't particularly sparkly).

Kudos to Kim Higueria, who made this great kit to work with -- I especially loved the rich, fun papers. This is the first time I've scrapped with her stuff, which is a shame because we were briefly in the same ward together when we lived in Wymount (my one claim-to-fame in the digiscrapping world -- the only digi-designer I know in real life!) I do think I will be returning to this kit again; it's a good one.
