Great site for photos

Hey all,

I was blog surfing the other week and found this really cool site where you can change your photos into really old-fashioned looking photos. Here is the link. http://labs.wanokoto.jp/olds It is a japanese site, but in the top left corner, there is a button that says "English" and if you click on it, it shows up in English. I love the way it transfers your photos. I took a fun picture of a lighthouse on my trip to San Diego.

Here it is from my camera:

Here it is after using the software on this site:

Now, I'm working on a project with this, the burlap and a black canvas frame. I'll post it when I'm done!

TGIF!

Hi all! It's Jill here! Except... I'm not Jill Deiling anymore, I'm now Jill Cassity! I just got married this week, very exciting! It's going to take me awhile to get used to the fact that I have a HUSBAND now and I have a new last name! :)

In between all of this week's hustle and bustle I've had just a little time to play in my scrap room by myself. I wanted to stop by and share a couple more layouts that I have created with the March kit!

The first layout is me last summer, drinking one of my favorite drinks- an orange julius! I cut the word "sweet" out of the cosmo cricket stickers that come with the kit. I also used just a small strip of the burlap to add a little more detail my layout. The burlap has such a fun and different texture, you don't always need to use much to get it to stand out on a layout!

This one is my son when he was just a few months old- he's 4 now! Crazy how much he has changed. I cut the peas out of the Cosmo Cricket paper and hung them in between each banner to add a little more fun to my layout. The peas also inspired my title- if that wasn't obvious enough! :)

As you can probably tell, I am head over heels for the little Jenni Bowlin banners, I think the whole DT is! I used them on every single one of this months layouts. I've also been having fun making my own flowers out of paper and burlap. So fun!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! :)

Lovin' the Cosmo Cricket 'Garden Variety' Stickers

Mornin' Everyone! Happy Thursday to ya! This morning I wanted to do a little review on the Cosmo Cricket 'Garden Variety' stickers found in the March kit from Scrapbook Circle. I love these stickers! They are just too cute! Check 'em out....

The design team and members at Scrapbook Circle have created some awesome projects using these darlin' stickers. If you would like some inspo, check out the gallery:

These stickers really make a project so easy to put together. I whipped up these two cards in about an hour yesterday using 3 of the stickers found on this sheet.

"Happy"
I created a 'sun' with the tomato sticker on the sheet. I added some of the pennants from the Jenni Bowlin sticker sheet (also found in the kit) behind it. I also brought in some rhinestones and ribbon. All the patterned paper on both of these cards is from the kit as well.

"Because I Love You"
I tinkered around with some ribbon scraps I had for this card. If you would like to know how to create this ribbon flower, let me know. I will try to do a tutorial for us on that soon if ya do! :) I know I want to give it another try and make it a bit fuller.

So snag these stickers up while ya can girls! I know they will make all of your scrappy projects amazing!

Have a great day and Happy Scrappin'!

Spring is Coming!

In celebration of the fabulous spring season, I put together a little spring banner using our upcoming April kit. Can't wait to share more of this kit with you!

Here's a look at the front of the spring banner.
And here's a look at the back of the banner.
There are several other photos of the banner along with a few April kit details on my blog. Feel free to stop by and let me know what you think about the upcoming kit.

Outlining

Good morning!

I thought I'd share a brief tip about making your titles POP! On this layout, I chose a whimsical font to cut out the title of "Oh! The places you'll go". But, when I put it on the layout, it was hard to read and have it stand out.
So, I just took a black marker and outlined around it. And -- it worked! So, if you are feeling like your title just isn't standing out much, grab that marker and outline away!

Have a scrappy day! (in the good sense of that word!)

I'm Jolly Over Jenni Bowlin!!!!

Hey guys! Happy Thursday! Today, I wanted to highlight one of the oh so yummy embellishments included in the March kit...the Jenni Bowlin Black Alphabet/Banner Stickers. These are just so awesome and functional! Gotta love 'em!

Now, check out these projects that include the stickers....

Designer: Lisa Andrews
I love how Lisa added her banner stickers directly under the photo. It looks like the photo is holding it up...super cute! Also, note her stamping with cardboard in red...or at least I think it is cardboard. It looks great! Great job Lisa!

Designer: Aymee Gandy
I created this page. I loved the little mini black clothespins that were included with our kit. I decided to tie two small bows and clip them on the clothespins to 'hang' my banner.

Designer: Diana Waite
What can I say? I LOVE this card from Diana! It is just so fun! I love how she stitched on her banner and how she added the clips. Great dimension all around on this one! Fabulous job Diana!

Designer: Jill Deiling

Check out how Jill added peas on the line with her banner!!! Isn't that simply adorable?! Love it! Also, note her flower and how she used the burlap! Jill is one clever crafter!

Designer: Diana Fisher

Last, but certainly not least, check out this beautiful page from Diana. I love how her banner drapes across the page and attaches to the holes in the shaped paper! Another crafty idea! Wonderful page Diana!

Aren't they fabulous?! My fellow DT Sisters really amaze me in the ways they have each used these stickers. They all show how fun and functional these can be. So grab up a set of these today and start scrappin'! If you can, be sure to post your beautiful creations in the gallery at SBC! We'd love to see what you can do too!

Have a wonderful Thursday and Happy Scrappin'! :)
