Cathy Zielske's Template, New Kit and Freebie

I could not resist putting Cathy Zielske's new template in my shopping cart last night... well its kind of new. I just saw her latest template on her blog. And it looks great!


I know some of you might be thinking why buy templates... you can make them yourself. But when you have a lot of catching up to do, you do need all the help you can get. And I have serious catching up to do. By the way I'm designing for an 8'-8' album, so elements might seem a bit larger on some pages.
Here is my latest -

Got too many photos to scrap with?

Keep It Simple then. Clean(sometimes a little grubby) and Simple

I went to a beach last Sunday and took lots of pics, and finished scrapping(designing) with them last night. Here's the album, you can view all the pages on facebook -

here's my favorite page out of them all - 

 

I was really surprised with how fast I completed these pages. I think one of the big reasons were because everything is so minimal, you end up choosing and playing with a limited amount of design elements. It is so easy to unify a page design by using the eye dropper tool and selecting colours from the image you are working with.

Here are some great example of great Simple pages out there

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I cant believe how quickly the weeks are going by.
I thought I'd share a little project I did last week. I used my paper(from the Naturals Kit - coming soon) and Jofia Devoe's plant and Swirls Therapy II. Yesterday was a tough day, I felt a little burnt out. The night before I decided to stay awake till 3am, working on my projects. I was like a zombie all day yesterday. I am soooo not going to do that again! It's also not fair on the kids too. I've learned my lesson.
So about the shop! is'nt it exciting!!! At this stage I don't have an exact date for opening, but I'm hoping for September. I will announce it a week or two before anyway.
Here's a layout I want to share with you guys. all my products. Except for Jofia Devoe's flower, from her Flower Mania pk. Great pack by the way!
 

and heres some fab layouts using the freebies from last week. (click on user name for full list of credits)

Catch ya all later!

Check out these superstar pages! ... and freebie no.4

These are just some of the pages that stood out to me using the last freebie 'I live for'. (click on the user name for full list of credits)

By teeleedee- Stunning composition. I love her stitching, it really helps stabilize the page. And the frayed piece of fabric, which adds texture.


By Amanda1201- Her blending is flawless! and her typograpgy is great!

By nicleblanc- perfect black n white photo that adds to the unity of the page. Black n White photos are great with neutral colour schemes, it helps to soften the page. I love her creativeness with the extraction too.


By Chey- Great example of white space! Is'nt that photo, just precious!


By Keela - I love how the journaling is com-posited over the photo's white space. Yes even photos have white space!


By debsterchen - Too cool! This is a very striking layout. One because the composition is well balanced and she has used texture and the principle of dominance to add drama.


By Applechick-  I absolutely love they way she tore the paper down the side like that. You'd think that it would create a disjointed look, but by adding staples and 'tucking' the photo behind the paper. She has created depth and stability. Bravo!


By brittanylane - I love the subtle blending of paper here. Gorgeousness!


By ThereseRydstrom- This is a great example of a well balanced layout. The trick to balancing a layout is to almost visualize a scale. If its heavy with images or elements on the right, balance it with a few items somewhere on the left. Like the title here.


By star74- stunning white space layout! another great way to add warmth to a WS layout, is to add paper with texture. It helps to create more visual interest and more dimension.


By BettyJoR - Is'nt her cat stunning? I really like the splash of yellow behind her cat. Don't be afraid to add colour to a layout that is mostly neutral. It can really compliment the colour scheme. Play around with it!
 

Thank you every one for using the supplies so beautifully, there were more I could have added! I have been blow en away by all the pages and ALL the comments! Thanks!
Heres a page I did a few days a go. Does'nt my girl look like a doll!
 
CREDITS: bg paper from thankful mini kit; stitching by Kate Hadfield; everything else from Freebi no.4 - Your Heart.
Heres the preview for this weeks Freebie
Your Heart

And here's your download link!

I'm thinking about going and getting a flat iron plate today! To make Roti's in. I'm ashamed to admit this, but I have'nt made one in 4ish years! I know I'm not a very good Indian! I make curries though, at least once a week. But I don't have the time to make Roti's from scratch. I should start, because Noah and Jacinda loves them, & I think I should stop depriving my husband! LOL! I hope I can still make them round.. we'll see.

Catch ya all later! Enjoy using my freebie, and please link me to your layouts, I love to see them :)

HUGS!

Third Freebie!!

Yay! This ones called 'I Live For'  Heres a page I did using the freebie. The paper is actually from a kit I am working on at the moment called 'Pieces of me'

I hope I am giving you guys a good idea of what to expect soon. I haven't forgotten about telling you guys, where I'm selling. I'm just getting myself organized. Once things are ready I will reveal secret number two. Now secret number three is not a new baby. Although I have to deliver something this year in order for you all to purchase it. And it has everything to do with Digital Scarpbooking!!! OK I'm zipping my lips now! Heehee :)
Thank you for the wonderful comments I received. I wish I could give replies to every single one of them.
I really enjoyed seeing everyones take on the 'Today I am thankful' kit. A few of them really touched me. Here are some that caught my eye -  (please click on user name for the list of full credits)
By Shannamay - Love the textures here and her font choice!

by  ThereseRydstrom - she has created another beauty! I love the 'I heart this' word art. and her white space
 
By BettyJoR   - Simply stunning! love the spray of blue!
 
By heathert   -  I love her subject choice and the way she com-posited her objects.

By nicleblanc  -  SO much energy on this layout, love it!

By Crissy   -  This layout has lots of harmony! The flowers seen in the photo are repeated in the paper and embellishments. And the composition... stunning!
 
I could keep listing the many beautiful pages posted using the mini kit. But I'll be here all day! Typepads 'new' compose editor is giving me headaches - it sucks! I might change my address soon. Last week it put weird question marks next to a few words. Sorry about that guys, I've fixed it up now.
Here is the preview for this weeks Freebie

                                 enjoy!...

Are you ready for your second freebie?

First take a look at these great layouts. They all have one thing in common. The creators have used my freebie kit! I'm so pleased to see it used with style! Great work ladies!
By teeleedee I love her creative idea with the leaves.

credits
By tnkbuzan- A nicely balanced layout with lots of visual interest.

credits
By phfphd- I love the 'downunder' art. Her card was so thoughtful!

credits
By ThereseRydstrom - wonderful composition! she made the perfect paper choice on the side there.

credits
By heathert - simply stunning! The brown & glassy elements work so well with the sky blue shown in the photo.

credits
By debsterchen -I love everything this chick has done here! Her composition, A+!
credits
By SHAUI - Another A+ on composition! And that photo... too cute!

credits
By pandora - Dreamy, was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this. I love how the flower has been extracted then repeated to give the page more harmony.

credits
By sbaird - The wordart looks great enlarged to make a title below the journaling and photo. I think it helps anchor the page.

credits
By nensike- I was wondering if anyone would do a layout using the composition in the kit preview! I really love how the original wordart was inspired to create something more unique for the page, so cool!

credits

I hope these pages have inspired you as much as they have inspired me.
Here is the 2nd freebie. I am continuing on with the 'thankfulness' theme. I guess because I have a lot to be thankful for. Like this brand new day. :) Think of something you are thankful for today, something you don't usually think about. But if it were taken away, it would have an effect on you. I encourage you to create a page about it. No pressure! ...Of course! ...just an idea!
