Sing me to Sleep kit layout

Heres a layout I have made using my new freebie kit Sing me to Sleep. It should give you an idea of what everything will look like when its put together! The whole kit contains 2 sets of elements, 8 different teal and purple textured papers, a set of alpha (lower and upper case) and a set of numerals, plus 4 different wordarts. I think thats everything!

This kit should coordinate well with alot of the freebies I have given away lately, especially the cardboard/note paper journal tags, the thought bubble tags and possibly also the sugar and spice papers.

I'll try and get as much as possible uploaded today, but some will have to wait possibly, because I have a wedding reception to go to later. I'm really looking forward to it in a lot of ways because they are a great couple and there will be a lot of friends there tonight, but I can't help thinking that I might start to feel like a character in a chick flick because I'm going to have to sit through hearing my ex fella (who's a very talented singer) sing lots of lovely love songs. Grrr!
He's been asked to sing for their first dance and I want to take some photos of that so I can make some layouts for them, so I'm just going to have to grin and bear it! A sense of humour is going to be very important this evening! So, I'm going to put on a pretty dress and a great big smile and have a good night out with lots of friends and one of the loveliest couples in the world!

Anyway, enough yabber (!!) here's the layout I made:




















Oh and I know the picture I chose to use isn't exactly the most sophisticated look in the world, but I thought the colours went well and I made this L/O pretty quickly!!

A Midnight Garden kit preview

I am currently working on a new kit called A Midnight Garden. Its mostly inspired by my bizarre waking hours, I work night shifts at a care home and it has sent me a wee bit nocturnal!! For the past four years I have gotten used to being awake at unusual times!! The kit is also inspired by how gorgeous I personally find nature at night, everything seems sapped of colour. Heres a few previews...


















Clicking on the word art will take you to my flickr where you can see a bigger preview.

A foray into the world of blogging

Well, here I am, blogging for pretty much the first time ever! Recently I have gotten into the world of digital scrapbooking in a biiiiig way and I have read so many entertaining, witty and interesting blogs that I have been inspired to start my own.

Initially I thought about starting my own blog dedicated to scrapbooking freebies, but there are already so many wonderful sites on the internet dedicated to this already (and doing a good job too! - see my links column for some of these) so the aim of my blog is to provide information to the beginner digiscrapper, based on my own learning experiences. It will probably also include lots of random thoughts and musings that pop into my head!!

To anyone who spots mistakes, errors or misinformation relating to digiscrapping in my blog please feel free to get in touch with me so I can make ammendments. I am new to this, and any corrections will be greatfully recieved!!
