I’ve got two layouts to share. The first is from the brand new kit, “A Winters Blessing,” by Lisa Minor at Scrapdebris. This beautiful kit has 20 papers and 23 elements, all for only $1.00 at Scrapdebris. Here’s a preview:

Here is my layout with this lovely kit:

I also did another layout using “Sprout” by Lisa Minor. This kit has 11 papers and 19 elements for only $1.oo at Scrapdebris. I forgot to post a preview of this last time, so here is the preview:

And here’s another layout with this versatile kit:

If you check Lisa’s blog, you will find free quick pages from both of these kits! Until next time, blessings~

New kit and a layout

Ooops! Should have had this up this morning, things have been hectic. Anyway, Lisa Minor has a new kit out, it’s called Sprout. You can pick it up at Scrapdebris for only $1, and it has 11 papers, 19 elements. This is another lovely, versatile kit. Here’s my layout:

Cherry Picker

Check back, I’ll have another layout and perhaps a freebie.

Some layouts and a free template

I’m keeping this short – got things to do! Here are some of my recent layouts done for the Pixie Hunt at Enchanted Studio Scraps:

Wedding Day

First Egg Hunt

Bumper Car Fun

Beach Baby

For credits, you can click each layout to go to the gallery. I made a template from this last layout. Here’s a preview:

The Scrappy Wife Template 3

You can click the preview to be taken to the download, or you can click here:

The Scrappy Wife Template 3.

I made the wavy design by following a tutorial at Gotta Pixel under the “Ask Lisa” category in the right side bar (it’s called “How do I make wavy paper?”). “Ask Lisa” has quite a few tutorials that are really helpful, and I recommend them! Please note that I put the wrong credit for this tutorial in my template file. I credited June Schutrups at Cen’s Loft Blog because, well, because I was a dunderhead and had a brain fart! That’s what happens when you try to do too many things at once. I’ll fix this. If you download before I get it fixed, please note the correct tutorial credit, and accept my apologies.

I have another template available through the template exchange currently running at Stone Accents Studio. For further info, go to the Stone Accents Studio Forum. Enjoy, and please leave a comment!

A riddle and a new kit!

thescrappywife — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 06:51:48 +0000

I just did a double-page layout with the new kit “Septembers Blush” by Lisa Minor of Scrapdebris. My layout poses a riddle: when is a little girl like Chinese food? See my layout for the answer, LOL!

Sweet Page

Sour Page

Sweet & Sour Double Page

Everything I used came from Septembers Blush, except for the pink flower, which came from Cotton Candy Girl, another kit by Lisa, also available in her shop.

Septembers Blush has a wonderful selection of colors and elements to suit any type of layout! It has 14-12×12 papers, 13 brads, 1 flower border, 4 frames, 2 decorated frames, 1 clustered element, 1 beaded element and 4 tags! You can pick it up for only $1.00 at Scrabdebris! Be sure to check out Lisa’s blog for more layout inspiration and a beautiful quick page freebie. I have a matching freebie for you today, as well. Here’s a preview of Septembers Blush, and the image is linked to the kit:

Some layouts and a freebie

thescrappywife — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 00:11:34 +0000

I recently did a number of layouts for the July challenges at Creative Victorian Designs. Each challenge had a piece of a beautiful kit for the posting bonus. Anyway, I thought I would share a couple of the layouts here:

Sleeping Baby

I was so happy to find that photo, it was taken when our youngest was about six months old. The next layout was for the quote challenge:

Happiness is...

This next one is of the profile of my lovely niece, taken last year at a family reunion:

Jennifer's Profile

There were a couple more, but this next one was my favorite (done for the sketch challenge):

The Look

So, what do you think? For layout credits, you can click each layout. You’ve made it this far, the freebie is next, lol! Today I have a quick page and a background made from Lisa Minor’s lovely kit “Golden Afternoon” which you can pick up at Scrapdebris for only $1.00. Here’s a preview of this beautiful kit:

Another layout with Golden Afternoon

thescrappywife — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 05:38:16 +0000

I’ve done another layout with Lisa Minor’s kit “Golden Afternoon,” available for only $1.oo. It’s a double page layout about my great-uncle. Everything is from Golden Afternoon, except for the vintage book by Wetfish Designs (Divine Digital) and 2 worn overlays, 1 by Studio Manu (Scrapbook Graphics) and 1 by Happy Scrap Girl (Scrap Matters) which I used on 2 of Lisa’s papers.
