Powerscrapping my birthday

I got my hands on a awesome freebie from Flergs – Dreaming of Spring via her newsletter and I just knew it would match the yellow and pink outfits I wore on my birthday.
The main kit this freebie coordinates with is Dreaming of Spring



I based my two pages on one of Jen Lindsay’s templates from The Digi Game and added a few more photo spots to the right hand page.


















To the technique I used to get the new photos to match the others - see my video tutorial on Copying layer styles.
I created the stitching by using an alpha tie from Flairy Floss by Flergs. Can you tell I love her stuff?
I just recoloured a stitched leaf to match and copied in my OhLife journal entry for the 7th of April.
It was so good to have my journal entry as it made step four of the Powerscrapping easy! Thanks Katie for the awesome workshop.

Power scrapping with Katie: my work in progress

I’m working along with Katie in her workshop over at Big Picture Classes. It’s all about using your time effectively to make more scrapbook pages, you can read more about Power Scrapping here.
So far I have a few sets of photos together for layouts I’m working on:

My 29th Birthday

I’ll turn this on into 2 pages for this I think, it was an eventful birthday.

Emily’s words

This is actually a few more pages album that is already 1/2 done, I just have to add embellishments to most of the pages
Moving to Perth
Emily’s 2nd birthday (still rounding up a few more photos for that one from other camera)
I just starred some photos I liked:

Selecting Photos to use

As I see more photos I want to scrap I’m adding them to new albums in Picasa, so then I can come back to them later, and concentrate on the pages I’m ready to scrap right now.
I’m just about ready to layout the photos and then I get to start adding digital goodies – and I know a lot of them will be coming from the Digi Game (which really is the best deal in digital scrapbooking!)

More about The Digi Game

Want to see my progress in the other classes I’m working on over at Big Picture? Here’s a sampling:

• One Little Word (I’ve been doing monthly posts about my progress)
• Yesterday and Today – A day in our life

I’m enjoying blogging about these classes – it helps me remember to actually make the pages too! Do you have system to remind you of classes that you are yet to complete?
