Amazing

On Monday Cathy Zielske gave away a free digital template on her blog. You can see the blog post HERE.


It was big on journalling and I knew just the story to tell.
I changed the title a little bit, used some papers from Shabby Princess and some digital elements (ink blobs and the foil flowers) and stitching from Anna Aspnes at Designer Digitals.

I know you can't see the pics or the words but I like the page overall and wanted to share.

Anyone else used this template??

Shimelle Page



This week's release from Shimelle over at twopeas are these gorgeous frames. Six frames for 99 cents. Bargain! You can use them for paper scrapping by printing them off or in your digital pages. If you are using the for digital, you can change the colour and size easily by turning them into a brush should you wish to.



Now, what did I make with it? Well, this page just kind of happened, you know like they do sometimes? I copied and pasted the photo in and it filled the whole page. I was about to re-size it when I clicked the brush tool and lo and behold the frame was already perfectly sized to hover around the edges of the rose. It was like it was meant to be.






This is a gorgeous rose of the dozen I got for Valentine's day. The ledger lines are Katie Pertiet at Designer Digitals from the Joyous Template. The shabby edges are Lynn Grieveson from Designer Digitals. I think the edges coupled with the fancy frame give it a Victorian-esque feel.

The writing says "Every year without fail you buy me twelve red roses for Valentine’s day
I love that you don’t ever forget how much I love to get them.
It doesn’t matter if you remembered to buy them five minutes
before you see me, in this case, it is definitely
the thought that counts xox"

I can't wait to play with the rest of the frames, they are surprisingly very flexible to use and I feel they'll be used in many future projects!
