An Eclectic Mix

I've been enjoying looking back through the older Raspberry Road kits and finding some treasures to work with! Here is a 2 page spread I just finished with an assortment of pieces from various kit. I loved the rustic feel of the Grungy Camp Days collection, perfect for scrapping our camping adventure. Then I fell in love with the Nature Retreat collection. It's a little brighter, so I lowered the saturation of a few parts of to go with the rest. Our first camp out with the kids was bitterly cold, so I knew I had to use some elements from First Frost too! I'm usually a by-the-kit kinda girl, but I felt like challenging myself to work outside the box. So this is a big mish mash of parts and pieces, but I love how it came out!


I also did another siggy for a friend using the Family Ties kit, per her request. The layout I chose for this one didn't really seem to lend itself well to a 4x6 or any other standard size, so I chose not to make a QP freebie out of it. It's just for show and tell! ;) I didn't used to like making clusters, like the one in the top left corner, but I find myself enjoying it more and more.


I'll be out of town, starting tomorrow, for the Thanksgiving holidays, so I hope I've posted enough before leaving to keep you from missing me while I'm gone! ;) Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Designing for Raspberry Road


Hey guys! Guess what! I was asked to be a member of the Raspberry Road Designs' creative team (CT) in addition to my design team (DT... different titles, but basically the same job... scrap for the purpose of inspiring others) work with Scrapbook Challenges! Here is a freebie 4x6 I made using the Christmas Thyme kit from Raspberry Road. I made it as a siggy for myself on a mommy forum I'm in, but you can use it for a 4x6 Christmas card, a print for grandma, or whatever! Enjoy!
