The Life and Times of an Alaskan Bookworm

Cool Scraps Digital QP Contest

2012-01-21T20:47:00.001-09:00

I can't believe how busy life is keeping me lately. However I finally had time to actually do some scrapping. Talk about amazing!!! Anyway, I decided to join the Quick Page contest being held over at Cool Scraps Digital. They hold a contest every month where a designer generously allows the participants to use on of their kits to make a QP. There are prizes to be awarded so don't forget to check out the contest for next month. This month Cocotounette generously allowed us to use her lovely kit: Oh My

Here is my quickpage:

In honor of this, several of the pixies from Enchanted Studio Scraps have gotten together to give out some quick pages from the Mega Grab Bags from either March, April, or May.

Here is the second page I did using Circle of Life Studio's Tell Your Story Art Journal products.

CT: Tell Your Story

2011-03-09T15:32:00.001-09:00

This month my assignment at Enchanted Studio Scraps was to work on Circle of Life Studio's products. Amanda has a new series of products that are just amazing: Tell Your Story Art Journal. Currently there are 2 sets of papers, 1 set each of accents (elements) and borders. As most scrappers know, we tell the story of everyone else in our lives but rarely tell our own story. This series is wonderful and you don't have to just scrap photos. You could easily use them to just keep a journal and tell your story that way. This is the page that I did using these wonderful products.

Please check out these wonderful products. You'll be so glad that you did.

CT: My Sugar Pie by Sugar Pie Scraps

2011-02-16T15:04:00.002-09:00

Valentine's Day was only a few days ago but Sugar Pie Scraps' newest kit My Sugar Pie will help you scrap your photos of your sugar pie/pies. Since this kit doesn't have the traditional Valentine colors, it can easily be used for anything that you can think of. It is available at Scrapable and Polka Dot Plum, or click on the image below:

With the blues from this kit, I couldn't resist using a recent photo of the prince. He's getting to the age where he doesn't always have the best smile, or even want to have his photo taken, however this photo just captured my heart.

Until next time...
