SMJ

Inspired by April Anderton's recent article and amazing layout in the April/May 2008 issue of Digital Scrapbooking Magazine, I decided to experiment and see what I could do digitally to achieve a similar look with the papers from the new Weeds and Daisies kit...

Jump on over to the SMJ Tutorial Blog to learn how it was done...

Here's a little layout created with SMJ's awesome Egg Huntin' Time kit. Click on the image to see a larger version in my DST gallery and check out the full credits.

Our trip to the hibachi grill one night was especially fun and I focused on these photos while creating this layout with the super cute Vintage Garden Fairies kit by Shabby Miss Jenn and Dani Mogstad. Click on the image to see a larger version of it in my DST Gallery.

This layout features Vintage Garden Fairies which is an adorable collaboration kit designed by our very own Shabby Miss Jenn and the super talented Dani Mogstad. Click on the image to see a larger version in my gallery.

Layout created with SMJ's Xmas Market Kit. Gotta love that plaid and the adorable black and white frames! What a super kit!

This layout features my girl Kali, she is a lover of books, learning, reading and especially puzzles. I showcased these photos in Shabby Miss Jenn's collaboration kit with Dani Mogstad, Vintage Garden Fairies. The colors complimented my pics perfectly and the style of the elements suited exactly what I had in mind with the tabbed folder and little whimsical butterfly and floral spray theme.

Thanks for checking it out and have a wonderful week!
