Some examples of my layouts I made with it….

Templates, templates, templates.   Do you like templates?  Do you have trouble leaving white space on your layout? Do you have problems with clustering? If you answered yes to any of these you might like to consider the latest set of templates form JanetB Designs.  All these templates are available at Digidesign Resort and at The Studio of course.  Here are some examples…..

They were both made with the wonderful new kit from JanetB Designs called Quite Places.  Available at Digidesign Resort and The Studio.  This kit tones in perfectly with so many of Janets other kits.  Its just lovely.

I have been slack as usual and have not been putting up my layouts regularly, some things just don’t change.   Tonight I have put up the last big bunch, there are links to them in the “recent posts list” in the right side bar.

Karen from Snickerdoodle Designs is currently in the final round of a designer contest at The Studio. This is her kit / submission for this round.  Its sooo cute.  I made a new blog template with it and two layouts.    The kit is called Dare to Dream.  I will let you know when it it available in store, but in the meantime, I thought you might like to see what it looks like and my layouts.

21 September 2011

Made another layout with the Indian Summer kit, I was walking along with my camera and Hamish, the neighbor’s cat was sleeping.  I woke him as I snuck up but he didn’t jump up and run so I zoomed him in.  I have also been doing a course over at Hummies World and I used this for one of my filter lessons.  Cool to play with for sure.

11 September 2011

Janet from JanetB Designs has just released another new kit you can get it over at The Studio.   This kit is a collaboration with DeliScraps by Min and its called Indian Summer.  It comes in a complete bundle with all the pieces — full kit, 2 alphas, cardstock and glitters.  Rich, delicious, late summer and early fall colors, create the sense of the change of season.  You can almost feel the cool crisp air, the crunch of leaves under foot, the smells of autumn.

There is one alphas made entirely of autumn leaves, the other is a shabby old painted metal alpha.  A set of 8 multi-colored glitters, and a set of 9 sheets of crisp cardstock complete the bundle.  This full kit contains 21 wonderfully textured and patterned papers, and 41 elements:

8 May 2011

Janet has released another wonderful kit.   I just love the soft colors in this.  It has matching alpha’s .. its a whole package.   You can find the whole bundle here at Digidesign Resort.

This is a soft, dreamy, romantic kit in soft neutral shades that will be usable any time of year and for any occasion. It is perfect for creating pages for your wedding album, wedding notepaper, shower invitations, and thank you cards since it has a few wedding-specific elements.  But it is equally usable for baby shower invitations, notecards, baby announcements, and any occasion where you want softer colors for your pages.

Another great kit about the kit the market, from Snickerdoodle Designs.  This new kit is called Balancing Act and will be available at Digi Design Den in the next few days.

24 February 2011

I made another layout with the Beeatrice kit from Karen at Snickerdoodle Designs.  I decided to make a layout that is not on the quilting theme with it.  I used some pictures I took at our recent camp at Lake Leake in Tasmania.

17 February 2011

Two new kits.  One from JanetB Designs called A Little Romance and this kit is available right now in the store at Digidesign Resort.  I have made two layouts with this kit and it is great to use.  Could be used for Valentines, I am not really a Valentines person so I made a couple of different layouts with it.

The second new kit is from Karen at Snickerdoodle Designs called Beeatrice.  This kit is available at Digital Design Den in Karens store.    This kit is great for those of you who quilt.  I am not a quilter, but my sister-in-law Kerry is and as I had some pictures of quits she had made a couple of years ago, I thought I would us them for my layouts.

19 January 2011

Another layout with the Second Chances Valentines Edition kit which is not in the store at Digital Design Den and soon to be in the store at Coolscraps Digital.

18 January 2011

I made another layout with the Second Chances kit from Snickerdoodle Designs today..   It is very minimalist in the amount of elements I used, but I rather like it.  I took these pictures down near Loch Sport on the south coast of Victoria.

17 January 2011

Karen from Snickerdoodle Designs has a new kit arriving in her store in a couple of days, its called Second Chances Valentines Edition.  It is designed to be a valentines kit that is a little different from the usual.  You be the judge.

I made a couple of layouts with this kit and I think I have another one in the pipeline.

4 January 2011

How do you like this kit from Karen at Snickerdoodle Designs?   Cute?  I recon.  I made a layout with it, if you think it looks a little like the one I made the other night with Cameron in it, you are correct.   I made that layout and it was chosen for the scraplift challenge on Digidesign Resort.  Soo… I had to scraplift my own layout…  I hope I got it right.  This is Brady, having a down moment while he was playing down at the park at the bottom of our street with his Mum and Poppy.  Today he learned how to ride his bike without the training wheels for the first time..   I will scrap a photo of him on the bike later.

3 January 2011

Made another layout with the New Year Resolution kit from JanetB Designs..  The photo was taken in Tasmania when we were there on holidays in 2003.  We are off to holiday there again at the end of January … really looking forward to it.

1st January 2011

Happy New Year to all.  JanetB Designs has a new kit called New Year Resolution, as usual it is available at Digidesign Resort. I had a play with it tonight and came up with this layout using a picture of my nieces little one Cameron.
