This
week I have "the rest of the story," LOL. Or the rest of the
collection :) As they say, the best-laid plans often go awry, and mine
did, but no matter, here it is!
Two sets of templates - a photo tray set with pocket-sized openings (and
there's a coordinating set of pocket cards, too!), and a pretty, sweet,
and romantic set that still manages to sneak in multiple photos. Then
there's a set of pretty patterned papers that coordinate with the whole
shebang.
Love this beautiful layout from Bea at the Digichick - it's sweetly perfect!
You can purchase the add-ons together in the bundle for extra savings,
and I've held over the sale prices on the original bundle, too.
You can visit my shop HERE, and until next time, happy scrapping!

Hashtags. If you spend anytime at all on social media, you know what they are, whether you use them or not. I have a tendency to use them to be silly more than to categorize my post or photo for others to find (yes, it's all about me, LOL). However, I found myself making a title using a hashtag, and it got me to thinking that a set of words would be handy. And then when I made the set of words, I thought, Hmmm. A set of pocket cards could be handy. And when I made the set of... well, you can see how it went. Sort of like giving a mouse a cookie and for sure he's gonna want a glass of milk :)
So, this is where the #cookie went.
Those led to this:
(I might add that at this point, I sort of wondered if I was crazy. I mean, black and white for a kit? )
Last, I made a set of templates that reflect the original scrapping event that required the hashtag title in the first place:
I have a sneaking suspicion that some of my creative team thought I was a little crazy, too. But they were good sports and played along :) And I think maybe were a little surprised by the results!
I love the way both color and black and white photos work with the neutrals of the kit, but you can always grab a spot of color from another kit if you want something to pop ;) (sort of ironic that I am so color driven and yet there is none here, right?)
Hashtag #AndAllTheGoodies will be on sale through Monday, so grab some photos and #ScrapLikeCrazy!

I'm not going to lie. I have sort of a quirky non-literal approach to scrapbooking, probably because I am more motivated by color than theme. And when I saw this pretty renaissance lady graphic, I thought I wanted to make her a kit, LOL. I loved the colors, loved the look. And then, because I'm trying to get better at making things that non-quirky folks can use, too, I spent some time thinking about what sort of kit she would fit into. And Valentine's Day was the answer. Because what is more romantic than the Knight in Shining Armor and his Fair Maiden?
Turns out it's also a really good kit for renaissance fairs and halloween costumes, LOL. Lots of hearts and castles and beautiful colors really have very few scrapping limits.
This set of templates is a little out of the ordinary, as all of the "photo" spots are also the same size as Pocket cards - 3x4, 4x4, and 6x4. This makes it easy to pop in one of the cards if you don't have enough photos. There are a variety of dimensional cards in the matching pack, or just use those spots for cards you already have and want to use :) (I called it "gridless" because they aren't in a rigid grid style layout. I waivered on the title, because it sounds kind of grim, LOL. But it said what I wanted to say so I left it ;)
I created a couple of layouts this week with Fair Maiden. I think it's ironic that neither one of them actually uses the pretty lady, LOL:
The second layout was difficult, because I actually had to put my own picture on it (and THREE TIMES no less!) But my husband really is my knight in shining armor and I wanted to document that, and so there you have it.
I hope this inspires you to scrap tales of valor and happy times for yourself :) Fair Maiden (and all of the pieces/parts) will be at the introductory sale price through Monday at my Digichick shop. 'Til next time, happy scrapping!
