Love Her! {Cosmo Cricket: Togetherness}

I just adore the Togetherness line from Cosmo Cricket... the kite paper, the clouds, the butterflies...they are so much fun! So I've had the digital line on my wishlist for a while and when it came up on sale for $1 this week at Jessica Sprague...I finally indulged! And then I got to work right away with a template from Jessica Sprague as well (I used #26 for this). It is totally free to download! 

I entered it into this month's Cosmo Cricket challenge at scrapbook.com to use more than one photo. There is still time to enter a layout to have a chance at winning the prize this month!

Rainy Day {Erica Zane: Imagine If}

My friend, Jill, bought me a couple of digital goodies this weekend as a belated birthday present. The timing was perfect as I'd just seen this kit released last week but would not allow myself any purchases. But there is a rainbow...and clouds...and rain!!!!!!! So, as soon as I downloaded the kit, I got to work. This is what I came up with.

I used a free template from Jessica Sprague's Template Tuesdays. The only thing not in the kit was the tag which is also designed by Erica Zane and part of my gift :) I had so much fun with this one! I didn't include a title because, well, I guess I felt like it didn't need one. The journaling is a quote I found from googling: "Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain" Thanks to Jill for the kits AND answering a bazillion questions this week about digital scrapping :)

Beary Fun! {Crystal Wilkerson Spring/Summer 2011 Baby Girl},

One great thing about digital layouts is that I don't have to worry about the weather when I'm completed with the layout....no pictures are needed! We are FINALLY getting a good rain storm this morning.

Over at JessicaSprague.com, every Tuesday a new template {for the non-digi scrappers, it's basically a sketch with some of the work already done for you} is released for free! I'm going to try to do as many of these as I can to help me get used to digital scrapping. This is from this week - pictures too! ;)

I'm not letting myself go crazy buying embellishments but I'm sure that as time goes by, I'll come back and add  a little something more to this. It just feels plain!
