Summertime...and the living is easy! (Colorful Creations Blog Challenge)

Hey all! :) I am so excited because I finally sat down and did a digi layout for the first time in a long time. :) I was kind of at a loss for a paper and a glue layout, so I opened up my PSE and sat down and really had a BLAST! :)

Colorful Creations, one of my design teams I am on, is an online group for scrapbookers and paper crafters. We are all pretty tight knit. We share our lives and our happiness and downfalls too with life. :) I like keeping in touch with the members and love all of my "sisters" on the DT. :)

We have a TON of challenges throughout the month and one of those challenges is a Blog Challenge. :) For our blog click: HERE!

The blog challenge for this month is HERE and it was the reason why I did this layout. I have been wanting to scrap this picture and still may do a couple of other projects with it. :)

And being that the prompt for this month was "Summertime and the living is easy (we needed to use this on our layout)..I felt that this was the best picture for it. We also had to use flowers and stripes. :) So, this is what I came up with. :)

What I used: Rachel Dickson (Sassy Elements (4 petal flowers, brads, joy, brads), Paper Pack one and two, and Alpha), Kitschy Digitals (Fresh Blooms Kit-Fabric flowers (fuchsia and blue with pearl), and Mom 2 Moo ("lovely" and pink shiny flower.) Done in Photoshop Elements 7.

Thanks for looking! :)

Some MORE AWESOME News!!!!

Sometimes in life we are JUST BLESSED! :) Whether it is the people that come into our lives or opportunities we have.  The person who is part of my news today actually would represent BOTH areas pretty well. :)

Well...I made another DT! :) This time it is for Jeanie's Designs! :) For those of you who don't know who Jeanie is-she is one of my lose friends. She bought Mountains of Memories in Great Falls and tried to make a go of it. I am thinking that although I LOVE Great Falls, we just weren't ready for a Local Scrapbook Store.  So, Jeanie went back to WY and went for her Digital Design Certification. AND....she succeeded and now is selling her digital scrapbooking designs (scrapbooking papers and elements). :)  AND....I love them! :)

Jeanie had a Creative Team Call last week and I told her I would LOVE to represent her. :) I told her I loved her stuff and showed her a little of my work--although when she was here in Great Falls, she got to see my work all the time! :) She knew what she was dealing with! :) LOL! :) I was on her Team for Mountains of Memories too. :) But....I am fairly new to digital design so I am so happy that she picked me. :) Thanks Jeanie. :)

So without further adieu, here is my first digital layout for Jeanie's Designs! :)

What I used:  Jeanie D's Designs (12x12 paper and crown frame), Elaine Therese (butterfly tag and button flowers), Mom2moo Designs (bow), and Katie Pertiet (photo clusters #14). I do all of my digi scrapping on PSE7. :)

Thanks for looking! :)
