New Layouts

 Hello Everyone! This month is Summer Layout Madness at Digital Scrapbook! They have over 25 different prompts/challenges to help you meet your scrapping goal with more coming throughout the month. I set a goal of 12 for this month and I'm at 5 about half way through the month so I don't think I'm doing too bad. Here are my layouts so far this month. Oh and by the way, Dive Into Summer, the kit the last 2 are made with is on sale for $1 through the 20th!!

Viola Fairy Kit on Sale & Layouts

Hello All,

My featured product today my Viola Fairy Kit. It is one of my favorite kits and is the one I used to decorate this blog. PLUS I’m putting it on sale from now through Monday, May 24th, for only $3.00!! That’s 40% off!! Below are 2 layouts that I’ve made with it.

These are all pictures of me. First there's me at 5 months old on my First Easter. Next is me as a toddler with my toothbrush. My toothbrush was one of my favorite things back then. Next there is me sleeping as a child. Sleeping is something I've always had to have a lot of. Down to the bottom row. The first one is of me in high school at my first Homecoming Dance. Look at that hair! Anyone else have pictures where it looks like you put your finger in a light socket?!?! But that was the "in" style back then. Next, is me holding my son, Christian, for the first time. I know I look oh so beautiful, but it's one of my favorite memories. Then the last photo is one of me that was taken by Christian(8 yrs old) when we were playing in the leaves, October 2009.

The above 2 pictures of quick pages you can get for free at the RAK Center of RAK Scraps through the 14th. The RAK Center is cool!  The last part of every month they give away a free mega kit. Then in the first part of the following month they give away QPs made with the mega kit. All free! Then if you use the same email address to sign up at the RAK Center as you do the RAK Scraps forum, you can earn points(by posting, referring people, ect...) to get past mega kits/QPS and other kits. So if you do register please put me, JIC Creations, as your referrer so that I can get the points. You can earn another mega kit each month by doing all the challenges as all the challenge prizes are made from the same color swatch/theme. I can hardly believe that I haven't found them before now! They will be turning 5 in November and will be having a party. I'll post further details when I know more.

The above is from their Member Mega Kit challenge. You get to make a mini kit from the color swatch/theme of the current Mega kit. The theme is month was Graffiti, which I had a hard time with. Anyway, it's your freebie for today. I know that if you check the Members Mega Kit challenge thread at RAK Scraps that are at least 3 or 4 other free mini kits you can download that will match this. This link here will take you right to that thread.

You can download this freebie here.

Enjoy! And I hope to see you around RAK Scraps!

My First Speed Scrap

My niece, Ashley, and my nephew, Alex, wrestling.

Kit: Speed Scrap 040409 by Southern Creek Designs
Font: Wenchlas

I attended my first speed scrap tonight at Plain Digital Wrapper. I was really fun! It's a great way to get way to try new things! I know that they have like 2 speed scraps a week at Stuff to Scrap so I'm gonna try theirs too! I could get way addicted to these speed scraps! LOL! Anyway, here are the instructions that we were given tonight.

1. Today we will start with our papers. Choose 2 solid papers. Take the top paper and reduce it to anywhere between 70 and 90% of the original size.
2. Center the smaller paper over the background one. tilt it a bit if you want or leave as is. Grab a “clip” of some sort. Hang three of them from the top left of the frame, so they are just there.
3.It is time to add your photos. Grab a photo that goes well with your paper. There will be a spot for three photos (each one hanging from the clip). You can have a frame around them, or not. They can be the same photo repeated, or they can be different photos.
4. Now we will start our embellishments. In the bottom right corner you are going to add three things. They can be flowers, scraps of paper, but there needs to be three of them. Take a swirly ribbon or a swirly embellishment and place it behind the three things (or on top of depending on how it looks). Add some scattered splotches on the bottom right and some in the upper left, behind everything.
5. Word art, or a title. At this point we need a title, or some word art. Place it above the hanging clips.
6. It is time for shadows. Spend some extra time on your shadowing. Every shadow will be a little bit different.
