I have never followed any guidelines so it’s great to actually learn some. Erin explains two types of compositions; triangles and rule of thirds. To read the tutorial and check out the challenge click here.

This is the lay out that I have entered. I used the Very Cherry kit by Captivated Visions.

Here’s my entry. I used the kit Loveable by Crisdam Designs.

This time we went on a roadtrip and had to pick 5 items to take with us on that roadtrip. I picked; a camera, credit card, first aid kid, snack and water. Every item that you pick comes with a requierment for your lay out. My requierments were; at least two photos, at least one string, something red, at least one insect of some kind or bird and something blue. It doesn’t matter what your lay out is about as long as you meet the set requierments. Lots of fun!!

This is the lay out that I came up with!

I am still in the ’scrapping my nephew’s birthday pictures’ mood so you don’t have to guess who’s in the pictures. I used the wonderful kit  ‘Growing up Boy’ by Valarie Ostrom. Here is what I came up with…

Today I completed a lay out for the Simply Sketch Challenge at the Gotta Pixel Forum. Laura Burger provides you with a new template and you get to play around with it, which is so much fun btw. I made a few changes to it (one frame instead of two and some other small details) and the LO you see on the left is what I came up with.

I love this picture of my nephew. He just looks so happy in it. Click on the image to go my gallery and few the credits.

Not only do they have a great store with the most talented designers in the digital scrapbooking world, they also have a great forum where you can get all your digi scrap fixes. The ladies up there are so nice and they have some great challenges too!

I have just joined their praise team!

It was a very special day as we were able to celebrate it at home with his sick brother. Limited people were allowed to visit because of his sick brother, but we were so grateful we were able to celebrate nonetheless.

Ofcourse I took enough pictures to fill another scrapbook so you can expect lots of lay outs with pix of his birthday.

I wasn’t really happy with the result of the previous lay out, so I wanted to see if I could come up with something better. And on the picture on the left you can see the result. On the lay out you can see my adorable nephew who just got a new cap and was showing it off like a true model.

I used the kit “Life is a beautiful thing” by Connie Prince.

The kit Endless by Armina Designs was just perfect for this challenge as it already came with a curled page. It’s actually the first time that I’ve used this kit to scrap a picture with, but I think I will definitely use this kit more often. I really love the feel of it.
