templates

Wow, what a thrill to see my very own pages made into templates. A while back Amy Martin asked all the pollywogs if they were OK with the idea of having our pages made into templates. Of course we all said yes and this week is my turn with the amazing Kristin Tilley!

For the next 5 days you can get the smaller set free when you purchase the larger set.

some things at TADA

There are some great things happening at Tracy Ann Digital Art right now. Her last lucky dip has been opened, lots of new products, over 100 clearance items priced at only $1 and a fantastic deal.

This has to be my most favorite digital product EVER. Tracy Ann's signiture swirl, the one on the site available for us all!

I have used these swirls a few times. Here are 2 layouts with them:

In the first layout I did something a little different with the swirls. I lightened them to white and added a red stroke to match the red in the layout. I love the way it turned out and I am sure I will be using this technique again.

Here are two of Tracy's new kits:

To see some of the awesome layouts by the TADAgirls check out the blog

And saving the best till last, here is the fantastic deal:

Clipping masks are my most favourite digi products. They are so quick and effective and you can get ALL 30 of Tracy Ann's clipping masks and photo templates for just $19.95, what a bargain!! To see all 30 of the masks and templates in this offer see here.

Here are a few layouts of mine using Tracy Ann's clipping masks and photo templates:

catching up

...again. It seems to be the story of my life right now.

Here are a couple more layouts from the last scrap day I had. Oh and I did get the Pannacotta recipe (thanks Jill) and I have made it for tomorrow night's desert. yum!!

a little late, but...

as promised.

Today is the last day of autumn break here and tomorrow the children go back to school. I love having the kids home, but I am happy to get back to a little more structured routine. We had a great break, had my parents here over Easter, then they took the kids to their place for a whole week. Steve and I had a staycation and it was wonderful, like a second honeymoon.


So here are the layouts I did last month:

I will have to post the others tomorrow.

thanks for dropping by.

some paper scrapping

Last weekend I got some paper scrapping done! I really miss it, but couldn't give up digi. The lovely ladies at Scrapping With Soul put on the most amazing scrap days and the food is out of this world - I really need that white chocolate panacotta with Frangelico grapes recipe.

So here is a sneak peak at the layouts I got done last Saturday:

six of them!! I will post them in more detail this week.

hope you are having a great weekend,

Amanda

there goes March

Boy this year is flying by. We had a great March with gorgeous weather and some fun family times.

Digi scrapping wise March was a great month:

March issue of DAM is gorgeous!! And such a bargain at $4.50.

And you can see my step by step layout guide for this layout inside along with a little insight into my creative process:



Tracy Ann had a Luck Dip in March -yayyy. But you need to hurry if you want to purchase it, as today is the last day.

The lilypad March BYOC was amazing, especially with Holly as the guest designer. Here is one of my layouts:

Here are a few other favorite March digi layouts:

Bliss

Forever and ever

World Traveller

I also went to a crop last weekend and got 6 layouts done. I am sure that was a record. I will post them later though.

fun things

House of 3 are having a house warming party this weekend. It looks like so much fun and I am loving what I have seen of the gorgeous house warming books the girls have done! I can't wait to see more and will be doing this project myself.

I have updated by blog with the cute free house warming blogwear. I can not tell you just how awesome the Hof3 blogwear is, so easy and so cute!

I just hope I don't miss out on too much fun being in a totally different time zone.

Something else I am super excited about, starting Monday I will be doing a Jessica Sprague class! YES I got into Candice Stringham's photography class. I can't wait to start, but first I need to go dig up the manual that came with the camera.
