Deviant Muse: June 2011

It's in the store right now!  The Deviant Muse! Have you see it!?

I know we do like to sing our own praises in the scrapping world but I must say this could be the best issue yet! 

The theme for June is 'self-portraits' and you'll find a very well thought out and at times very moving article from Patty Anne and who better to have as the cover girl but Amber aka Persnickertychick!  Her image is often included in her quirky layouts and I enjoyed learning a little more about her.

AND of course I must mention the interview for this month's guest - Christine Honsinger aka Fiddlette.  I am SO proud of this layout and would like to thank Christine for letting me have full run of all her designs to create the pages.  I had enormous fun and I'm sure these pages are some of my best work EVER!

And I'd like to thank Ed for her hard work putting it all together and Hollie, of course, whom without there just wouldn't be a Deviant Muse...

Playtime by Aja Abney & Little Butterfly Wings at CatScrap

I am thrilled to be a guest for summer over at CatScrap!
At one time I used to hang out there all the time but gradually got pulled in another direction.
I'm really excited to get to scrap some family photos.
And as if by luck the first kit I get to scrap with is this wonderful boy kit Playtime by Aja Abney and Little Butterfly Wings at CatScrap.

 As much as I LOVE the altered stuff it was SO nice to scrap with pattern paper, buttons, doodles, string and of course photos!

Here's my double page spread...

I'm thrilled that Marsha aka Tumble Fish Studios is back at DeviantScrap.  I've missed her elegant and quirky vintage kits.  Not only is she back but she's back with a sale.  Many items will be on sale throughout May and June.  Go to the DeviantScrap shop to grab yourself some bargains!

Oh my gosh!
The buzz of excitment is in the air over at DeviantScrap.

I think I may combust before then!

Fiddlette: Artisan Notebook

I don't know about you but for me there can never be too much Fiddlette in this world.  She's bold, bright, fun and super whimsical - I can always have more of that!  If you are like me and can't get enough of this lovely lady's designs you can find her in this month's Artisan Notebook.

I purchased mine here from ZigZagScraps.

Deviant Muse: May 2011

The May issue of the Deviant Muse is in the DeviantScrap shop now.  Being the first birthday issue it's chocked full of goodies and the celebration sale is going on right now!

Fiddlette: Journaling Challenge

A new challenge is coming to CatScrap.  Christine will post more details on her blog very soon.

Meet the Mandrakes

Many digi-scrapping kits come and go.  Some have similar themes and get lost and forgotten amongst the plethora of downloaded kits.  BUT, I don't think Meet the Mandrakes by Evelyn aka Finecrafted Designs will fade into the obscurity of my filing system.

It's witty and unique and beautifully put together.  I'm sure I will be returning to this one again and again.

Go here to take a look for yourself...

Artist Inspiration

I love discovering new artists and today, thanks to Marie Anne Moss, I found Martha Rich.  As well as having a super cool name she also creates some pretty cool art!
