More of my favorite subject

My daughter-in-law sent me a couple of totally precious shots of Lilia, so this morning I sat down to digi-scrap them. Only this time, I challenged myself to use only the Stampin’ Up papers and embellishments that came with the My Digital Studio software instead of the tons of stuff I have downloaded from other sources.

hello sunshine-001This one was heavily inspired by a page by Jean Manis. I loved how she changed the photo to b&w, and used bright colors on the page to tell the story.

I’m having too much fun with this!

Hard to believe it was a year ago…

My little munchkin granddaughter has grown so fast! This digi-page uses a picture taken of her at 6 months. Papers and elements from the Happy Dance collection by Mandy King, available at Gotta Pixel. Based on a template by Elizabeth Albers.

This next one was taken last week at a beach on Long Island. You can’t see her face, but it was such a great picture that I had to use it in a layout. I took the opportunity to try my hand a clipping mask, using a freebie from Jillybean Designs. Paper and elements from the Sea Glass collection by Litabells.

I really should step away from the computer now. ‘Til next time…
