Whoo hoo! We made it to Friday! It's been one of those hopping weeks, packed full, full, full! I bet you've had weeks like that, too. Today's blog will show ya just a little bit of what I've been up to this week. Though the FIFTEEN pages I scrapped in the beginning of the week for a custom order, aren't even posted here yet. Ha!
As the title says, I've placed new and older freebies throughout the blog. Carefully read through so you don't miss any of the fabulous freebies I've posted for you, today. Last week, we gave you a free printable calendar and today, we've got the coordinating kit, Revel In Retro to show you along with pages of inspiration. I've also got a peek at what we released last week and pages using other designers goodies like Heart Strings Scrap Art, Aimee Harrison and more.
I chose to use the bright, bold colours for this page.
Totally contrasting with the more modern, bolder page is this softer, warmer elegant page. I went for totally different colours here and a more natural touch.
How about a page with class and extravagance? You can do that too with this highly versatile kit. What's more classic than black and gold? I liked the punch of bright white for a fresh pop.
For my final page using Revel In Retro, I went for an artistic look. There are a lot of elements in this kit that have an artistic edge. Several stamps, all kinds of stitches, doddle borders and paint will all provide you with a page with artistic flair.
Here are some pages from the team. See how they used this broad and daring palette.
Carol totally mixed it up and used the borders brilliantly.
Carol also used the modern edge.
Chris wasn't afraid to throw it all in there, either.
Hilary did a great page with all of the colours, a pretty mask and a great photo. So perfect for this kit.
Rachelle also did a touch of artsy with her masks and paint.
Revel In Retro is sold separately. Papers in one pack and ellies in the other.
This is the free calendar from last week. It will be available all month long as will all of our monthly calendars. Come on back for April's, at the end of this month. They show up on our Saturday spots, the weekend before the new month begins.
We released My Muse last week. Outrageous templates, word bits, awesome 80's ellies and radical papers. Such a fun, fun collection to add to your stash. It certainly isn't just for your throw back photos. There are a lot of everyday elements in there.
I wanted to show off how our teams used the templates, specifically.
Personally, I find the templates so cool, I just cropped in my photo and added a few extra ellies and my page was scrapped. You can do that with all of the templates and have a sweet mini.
This was my freebie.
This is Dana's freebie on her blog.
On to other designers and my pages with their new goodies. This is a store collaboration from Daises and Dimples. I don't know about you, but I can't wait for warmer days. It's been freezing here for weeks. Warm up by checking out all of the fantastic goodies in this large, store collection.
Aimee Harrison has a few new collections this week and as usual they are so beautiful.
This is my little guy and his cousin. They looks so similar. Definitely a family resemblance going on there. I used an unreleased template. They will be releasing later this month. Keep your eyes out for them.
So Springy
Freebie on Aimee's blog.
This is another collection from Aimee, Bloom and Grow.
I got the opportunity to play with templates from Heart Strings Scrap Art, again. Her templates go great with Aimee's collections.
This is what spring looks like in Germany. Can't wait to see those spring flowers, again.
Bryony's beautiful templates.
This is the other page I did with Bryony's template. I tried not to use flowers, but it was impossible! Hehehe...I just wanted to show off what her templates look like with out a tons of flowers. If flowers aren't your thing.
Here's an older freebie using Paty Grief's collection, My Buddy Dino. Click on the image to get to the blog for the free download.
