Tags

I actually like to use tags as cards. I frequently create cards that are not the usual fold type so they can be used on a layout if preferred.

Paper Piecings

I love creating them although I rarely use them on layouts, but will an occasional card. So I thought I would share a few that I have made using flocking. Love flocking, if you have never tried it you must give it a whirl. Here are a couple I made some time ago.





And here is one I created for a gift which is not flocked:



And one created for a Challenge at SBD:

Tag Challenge

One of the challenges I entered at SBD was a tag Challenge and I have to admit I was unsure if I would be able to grasp the concept correctly. The first layout is posted and the next person then creates their own version of their take on that layout, then the next person creates their own on that completed layout. Its amazing how different each one turns out, yet they follow the same design theme. Here is the layout that was posted before my turn:


And here is the layout I created based on the above layout:


This was a fun, fascinating challenge for me and hope this one is held again in the future.

A Little Digital Doodling

Haven't done much over these past days, kinda keeping to myself for awhile. But sat a few moments this morning and created a digital layout for Mia's Book. You can click on the layout for a larger image if you wish to see detail.

Scrapbooks and Little Fingers

Little fingers are precisely what led to my interest in digital scrapping. Like many paper scrappers I had my doubts and wondered why anyone would want to give up paper for this new concept in scrapbooking. After viewing what I consider beautiful works of digital art, I opened my unused photo program and began playing around. In less than an hour I had created my first digital layout, the outcome undoubtedly the worst I have ever created, but that didn't matter, I jumped in and began a brand new journey. I can't say "I never looked back", because I love paper and digital scrapbooking equally. For me they simply serve different purposes.

Digital became a vehicle where I was able to create safe, hands on albums for my young grandchildren whereas no dangerous embellishments could fall off, or a torn page would not represent hours of work forever lost. A disaster averted with a reprinted page.

Paper allows me the hands on touch and feel of dimension which I love through the various metals, laces, ribbons, buttons, layering, etc.

Each technique represents the same end result, simply executed in a different way.
