New from Sweet Digi Scraps

Liz at Sweet Digi Scraps has a fabulous new masculine kit called

PRINCE CHARMING

 

 

She made some templates this time too - SWEET INSPIRATION: CHARMING

 

 

I used one of the template and this great kit to make a layout featuring my BEST FRIEND and companion Mike - he's definitely a keeper, at least for 16 years so far!

 

 

 

 

New from Digital Designs by Amber Morrison

Another stellar template pack from Digital Designs by Amber Morrison

 

LA BELLA VITA

 

 

I have done two layouts with LA BELLA VITA ... first is one also featuring Sweet Digi Scraps IT HAPPENS  Both the sds kit and ddam templates are available at The Digi Chick

 

 

Here is my layout

 

 

I love combining Amber's templates with Sweet Digi Scraps kits ... my next layout was done with LA BELLA VITA and Sweet Digi Scraps WINTER WONDERLAND

 

 

The photos in this layout were taken by my good friend Pat K on Lake Ontario in Rochester, New York.  I'm glad she is there, and shares her lovely snowy pix with me, and I can stay here in SUNNY CENTRAL TEXAS with no snow!  (although we have had some rain lately!)

 

 

 

Amber's latest template pack is LOVE STORY which released on 2/8/2013 

 

 

I combined Amber's template with Sweet Digi Scraps THESE MEMORIES

 

 

and did a layout about my sweetie Mike!  He is my BEST FRIEND, greatest cheerleader and constant companion for almost 16 years now.  I consider myself SO LUCKY that he came into my life, just when I needed a friend like him.  But, if you ask him, he'll tell you that he's the lucky one!  I guess we both are!  The photo was taken of both of us on my camera at Denver Botanic Gardens in June 2012.  (one of our favorite places to visit in Denver)

 

 

Amber also re-released several  template packs at The Digi Chick - you may have seen some of these layouts, but I know that some of them are new!

CLEVER LI'L PRINTERS TRAY

 

 

This is one of the first template packs I worked with for Amber back in July 2012.  I did a little re-work on it  to feature on The Digi Chick products.  Combine it with Sweet Digi Scraps SET ADRIFT

 

 

and produced this layout featuring on eof my favorite lighthouses (and one that I have climbed!) Cape Hatteras in Buxton, North Carolina on the Outer Banks!  And like the layout says "The view from the top was SPECTACULAR!"

 

 

 

I'M ON THE EDGE

 

 

I combined this template pack with Kimeric Kreations BON VOYAGE

 

 

This is the first of many layouts I have done combining Amber's templates with Kimeric Kreations BON VOYAGE.  I am working on a hybrid album for The Hybrid Chick blog later this month, and still have about four more layouts to do.  This layout is not being featured in the hybrid project though, so I can show it to you now.

 

 

We are only about 4 weeks out from "flower season" in Texas ... and I am SO READY for it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New product from Template Dreams

Template Dreams has several new products in her store at Scrapable.  First up is

THE BIG GAME

 

 

Since there is NO FOOTBALL in my life, I had to take a "pass" on this one although I do really love the greens and browns.  I was afraid I could not do this one justice!

 

Next up

 

SCALLOP LAYERS TEMPLATES

 

 

I used the first template and combined it with Template Dreams SWEET BELLA

 

 

and made this layout featuring my sweetie Chase at his first birthday photo shoot! What a cutie-pie! (He wasn't walking yet so Mommy and Daddy are holding him up in the photo I used twice ... such a cute photo!)

 

 

 

Another sweet kit from Template Dreams is called

 

CUTIE

 

 

I combined it with Template Dreams CIRCLE FUN

 

 

and made this layout (also using one of the photos from Chase's 1st birthday photo shoot!)

 

The "text on a path half circle" was waiting in the tempalte pack  for me to add my own text too it!  And I finally was success in doing it on this layout!!  (I haven't quite mastered doing that in PSE10 yet!)

 

Template Dreams latest kit is CANDY HEARTS - a not-so-traditional Valentine color palette but I love it.  (of course, it's got my favorite color - lime green!)

 

 

I combined it with SCALLOP LAYERS TEMPLATE (see image above) and made this layout of my niece and nephew ... must be love!

 

 

Be sure to stop by Template Dreams store at Scrapable and see all of her beautiful product!

Laissez les bon temps rouler

Let the good times roll!  It's Mardi Gras time in New Orleans (and other places too) so it is time to party!  True North Scraps has the perfect kit to capture all those Mardi Gras memories

SCARY TALES Vol 2: LAISSEZ LES BON TEMPS ROULER

Here is my layout using this fun kit ... I haen't been to New Orleans in a LONG time, but I do have a favorite RAGIN' CAJUN Restaurant in Galveston ... we eat there everytime we go to Galveston Island.  The seafood is scrumptious!  I'm sure they are partying in Galveston this weekend too!
