Grain de Sable (Grain of Sand) Layouts for Aline Design

I was recently asked to guest for Aline Design of My Scrap Art Digital and I just couldn't say no.  Her designs are just fantastic! 

 These are the first 2 pages I have made for her with her new kit, Grain of Sand.

The Lilypad July BYOC

I have been creating for different designers at The Lilypad for years now and I always love the BYOC kits.  This time I have two pages.  One for Paislee Press and another for Little Butterfly Wings.  Same color pallet with such different kits.  Love it.

Paislee Press's

Papers + Elements 

Pictures + Words No. 12

The shadow on the photo is not a template.  I do that by hand every time I make a page.  

Would anyone be interested in a little tutorial on how to make a fun shadow for your papers?

So go grab your favorite BYOC pieces and join in on the BYOC Challenge for a chance to win at TLP!

My Four Hens NEW release

I have had the opportunity to test brand new actions for my lovely friend at My Four Hens.  Her actions have never failed me. I have actually purchased several sets over the last couple of years because they always work so wonderfully.  I thought I would share the goodness here and let you all know about the free stuff she has on her FB page as well.

I used a combination of all the action sets on these photos.  CLICK HERE to grab up the bundle of the

Enchanted + Sublime + Two Faced actions.

film | my second love

I have this overwhelming love for film photography.  I am not sure why since I am not really that good at it and it's super expensive.  I guess maybe it is that I am forced to slow down and take my time with every shot. or that after all my frames are shot, I am done.  It is nice to have the memories and not have to sort through 300 digital photos to find 100 I really like then decide which ones are worthy of printing.  Recently I developed 4 rolls and found some memories that I had forgotten about.  Another lovely thing about film.  Here are a few of the photos I loved.
These were taken with a Nikon EM and Mamiya MSX 1000.  Films used were fujifilm superia 400.

I am loving the grain and colors I got with these photos.  Makes me happy.

Now head on over to Nicole's lovely blog to see what amazing photos she has for you.
