New Release: Ready, Set, Swim!

I have a brand new kit out today that I am so excited about!  A while back Britt of Gettin Scrappy with Britt said she was releasing a swim kit.  Well it fell through so I contacted her and asked her if she would collab with me.  I have tons of swimming pictures from my kids' swim lessons so I wanted a swim lesson kit.  She and I put together Ready, Set, Swim that is all about swimming whether it be swim lessons, playing in the pool, playing at a water park or at a splash pad.  This kit is so much fun!  Take a look.

Love it!  I hope you love it as much as I do!  You can find this kit at my STS store or my MyMemories store (I'm hoping it will be up later today).  There's a set of 19 QPs as well!  Wow, what a gigantic quick page pack!  All the products will be 30% off for one week.

I wanted specific items for this swim kit and I couldn't find any CU stuff out there.  So I made my own CU items-a swim belt, a float bar, a diving board and a kickboard.  I decided to package them up to make a swim CU pack.  I hope you like them!

Remember, all these products are 30% off for one week!  Take a look at what my CT did with this kit.

Here's a layout from me of my kids at swim lessons.  I feel like I need to add something more but I just can't figure out what!  I guess I need to play with it a little longer!

I made some freebie labels for you.  My kids do swim lessons at the YMCA and all YMCA's have the same names for swim lessons.  I asked on my Facebook Fan page for names of other swim lessons.  I added those labels as well.  So hopefully you can find these useful when scrapping your child's swim lessons!

Before I give you the download link, the winner of the RAK is....Diana Bartch!  Please contact me at beckycards[at]sbcglobal.net to claim your prize!  You can download the labels HERE.

Extraction!

Extraction!!! I love the effect extraction gives a layout. Extraction is the procedure in which you cut out the focus of the photo. No background distractions, no blank space that has no value in a photo. Just your subject FRONT and CENTER! When I extract I use the polygonal lasso tool, I usually set a feather of around 2-5, the tutorial on how to use this tool is located here.

New Release: Forever Love

Evie of Flutterbye Faery Designs contacted me with a kit that she had started.  The colors were just so gorgeous and I loved the feel of what she had created.  Of course, I jumped on the chance to do a collab with her!  As I was adding pieces to the collection, the feeling of love and memories came out of the kit.  This kit is a versatile kit that you can use to scrap all your cherished memories.  We call this collab Forever Love.

You can find this kit and the clusters and paper stacks at my STS store or my MyMemories store (I have loaded it into MyMemories but it takes a few days to show up, I promise it will be there soon!)  We put together a cluster pack, a paper stack pack, a quick page pack and a bundle.  Check them out.  All the pieces (except for the bundle because that's already a terrific price!) on sale for 30% off for one week.

Just gorgeous!  I love these rich colors together.  Take a look at what my creative team has done with this kit.

Aren't they just beautiful!  I wish I had found time to scrap this one.  My goal is to scrap a layout before the Sunday review!  I have a freebie for you made by my CT member, Thao.

Journal, Journal, Journal!!!!

Hey Scrappers me again, thought I would write my tip/tutorial this Wednesday about Journaling.  I dont know about you but it is one of those things I struggle with when scrapping. Being someone that is more artistic than historical I always try to let my layouts tell the story of whats going on. Lets face it, right now those layouts make sense, but give it 10, 20, 50 years and I'm not sure the story will be as vivid. I love knowing that the work I do will be able to be passed down and my grand children and great grand children will get to see how our family was way back in 2012!

So dont be afraid to write a book! Here are some examples of Journaling.

Don't be afraid to tell your thoughts! Your family will love hearing your point of view!!! Give some details! Don't forget dates and who is in the picture or who attended!!!
