Scraps of Color Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Scraps of Color Creative Team Blog Hop! Join us for a weekend of fun, creativity and prizes. All weekend long we will inspire you with inspiring projects and clever ideas.This is my project for today.

I created this card by cropping a portion of a digital layout I did for our premiere issue of E:spire. I think this is a really cool idea to really get the most of your digital layouts. You can resize or use just a section of a layout to create a greeting card. In this case I printed this on card stock, distressed the edges and added ribbon and bling to make a lovely card. 

I will be posting a different project each day this weekend so come back again tomorrow. On Sunday evening I will draw a name for a great prize giveaway. To be entered all you have to do is leave me a comment and/or become a follower of my blog. I will give you one entry for a comment and an additional entry for following. (For my current followers...don't worry, you have earned your extra entry.)

Thanks so much for playing along. Until tomorrow.

Template Tuesdays

In this edition of Template Tuesday I grabbed a photo from the archives....ok...well maybe not exactly the archives, but I did grab a photo from 2008. This was Frankie's idea for Wacky Tacky Day at his high school. I thought I would try extracting the picture to emphasize the focal point so I have his hair extending beyond the border of the photo. Thanks to my awesome and very cool son JT, the Photoshop student, I was able to learn how to do this. Thanks for the tutoring baby.

Template Tuesdays

I have been crazy busy lately so I haven't had much to share. As soon as my life slows down a bit I will have to do better. My goal is to at least complete the Template Tuesday layout from jessicasprague.com every week. So here we go, this is JT and his best friend. We took this picture while celebrating JT's 16th birthday. Hope you like it.

I kinda like the sound of Template Tuesdays...it has a nice ring to it.  I created this layout with the latest freebie from Jessica Sprague. I just love freebies! I also love following yesterday's post with an older picture of my now sixteen year old baby. I love this template, I think I will use it again and again. Hope you like it.

Sixteen

Today I want to give a special shout out to a really cool dude....my baby JT. He is 16 years old today and as special to me as the day I brought him home. I can hardly believe my baby is sixteen years old. I can't possibly be old enough for my youngest child to be 6 TEEN! (ughhh). Where has the time gone?


This past weekend we celebrated his 16th birthday snowboarding in PA. Happy Birthday boo....I Love You.

Silly Siblings

This past weekend I had tons of fun hanging out with my girlfriends. I scrapbooked all weekend including today which was an unexpected bonus. We had a snow day so I spent the day finishing up assignments for the next issue of Scraps of Color E:spire.  I also completed another layout for Template Tuesday from Jessica Sprague, this one "Silly Siblings" is of me and my goofy little brother, being silly as usual. I love that dude! 


Bye the way, the ladies over at the Template Tuesday blog highlighted one of my layouts. It is such an awesome feeling to have my layout recognized by such talented artists. Thanks ladies I really appreciate the recognition.

Template Tuesdays

Not sure if you noticed but lately I've been practicing the digital scrapbooking thing. I am focused this year on improving my skills and techniques so I just love to practice with freebies. Over at jessicasprague.com she is running a weekly event she calls Template Tuesdays. It's really cool because you get a free template every Tuesday and your encouraged to share your layout in her gallery.  The more you share the more points you get. The points are later redeemable for discounts in her store, and I just love her store. Digi scrappers should really go check it out. Here are a couple of layouts I made with this months templates.
