A New Direction

A New Direction in Digital Scrapbooking


I discovered Art Journaling by chance - there was a challenge at Oscraps.
This was the result:

1958 Dixieland at its best!


Well it wasn't "true" art journaling but it was a beginning.....

The next attempt was again, using Maya de Groot Designs products available at Oscraps.com

Attentions


Now I felt adventurous  and bought a kit from Captivated Visions at Scrapbook Graphics called "Fluent in Sarcasm" This kit was made for me as I'm apparently out-spoken :) Anyhow, here is my page: Called Me? Sarcastic?
I was over the moon when it was chosen as a GSO at DST.

Me? Sarcastic?

Still Life

The challenge on the Oscraps Blog to create a page using One Little Bird's kit Still Life, inspired me to do this layout.

"Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the  touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time  for home."
Author ~ Edith Sitwell

Certifiably Cute

Back after a long hiatus away from the blogging world.
I've been busy digital scrapbooking trying to finish layouts for Christmas gifts. This first page is my dear grandson, Benjamin at 2-years-old. He is now 22! Where does the time go?
He was a sweet happy child and my layout is called, appropriately, Certifiably Cute
.

Taking a Risk

This is my first ever extraction and fantasy layout. After seeing creations by friends, Helen and Linda decided to take the leap and give it a try.

The photo is my granddaughter, she was originally laying on a small bridge.

I had to add the umbrella because the photo was clipped at this point of her legs.
I'm not artistic enough to draw legs :)

I also owe this leap into new realms to the new Russian Digital Shop MATRIOSHKI SCRAP who have the most delicious fantasy kits. Be sure to check them out!
