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!
You can check her out  HERE.

Pink Splatter Paper

My dear friend Sandra, reminded me I'm meant to be blogging more - ooops!
Why do I find it so much easier to write witty little comments on my Facebook status than a quick blog post?  I guess, because they are exactly that - short and sweet where as this blogging malarky leaves me staring at a blank canvas...

Here's something to distract from all that white space...

I have no idea what to do with the paper, but I have rather a lot of it now.  It's so fun and easy to make.

Fiddlette: Queen of Hearts

Christine aka Fiddlette has a wonderful new kit, Queen of Hearts, in the store at CatScrap.  I love the colours and there's some cool doodles in there!

Paper Scrapping

So that was my 2010, but what for 2011, apart from losing 10lbs and getting back to yoga? 

Well, I'm hoping to do more paper scrapping.   Before I found digiscrapping I tried to paper scrap but always found myself needing more and more supplies to complete a layout and was never happy with the results.  When I discovered digiscrapping it seemed to solve all my problems.  No longer did I have to wait for a shopping trip to complete a layout.  Downloads were instant and even better - no mess to clean up.  I do still love to digiscrap but never print any of my layouts and I would so love to have a physical album to show for my scrapping time.  Then late last year I discovered Lucy Edson's scrap gallery and fell in love with her work.  After studying her layouts and a few items from Crate Paper I created my first layout that I'm kinda happy with.  I'm hoping to do two a month.  Today I'm going to put together my second layout. 

Here is the first. 

I hope you like it and thank you for reading.
