I Just Might Explode

kitschy digitals!

Danielle released a sweet digital kit last week called, Pretty Felt Feathers:

 

And apparently it's Steph week on the blog, I made this digital page with it!

(Products Used: Watercolor Doilies Paper, You Are Awesome Ribbon, and Paper Buffet from Pugly Pixel.)

Danielle's kits are great for printing and using on non-digital pages and projects too!

She also made these darling customizable correspondence kits for kids that are seriously too cute.

Included in the kit is:

Custom letterhead with tracer lines for ages Pre-K through 2nd grade, Custom Letterhead with wide rules for 3rd grade and up, Custom Thank-You Cards, Custom Self-Mailing Envelope Template,  Pen Pal-ship Certification Cards, Coordinating Patterned Papers, Custom Return Address Labels, Custom “You’ve Received Happy Mail” Stickers,  Custom Stickers with Your Child’s Name, Printing Tips, Gift Ideas, Pen-Pal Communication Information, and Instructions.

See more photos in these two posts and pick it up in Danielle's Etsy shop.

Once upon a time I was really intimidated to try digital scrapbooking, but now I really enjoy it. If you haven't taken the leap yet, now might be the perfect time. All of Danielle's kits are 30% off until Sunday. And if you decide digital scrapbooking isn't your thing, then you still have tons of papers to print off and use whenever you want to. Woot!

P.S. Check out all the pretty things the other team members did.

One Buck Wednesday!

This lovely kit is on sale for only a dollar today at Jessica Sprague.

You could make invitations! Or scrapbook pages! Or pretty digital pages like this!

Do it.

Granny's Attic

I stayed up a little later last night to scrapbook. I was a kind of out of practice, but with a new Kitschy Digitals kit it was fun!

Danielle has a new kit called Granny's Attic and it's one of the cutest yet.

 

Get it from Jessica Sprague here.

I think I mentioned that my siblings and I threw a 25th Anniversary party for my parents in May and I'm excited to finally share the invitations I threw together with the kit. It was a lot cheaper to make the postcards, print them, and use postcard stamps than to go the conventional invitation, envelope, regular stamp routes.

Here is the design I pulled together.

Check out my mom's hat! Oh,  weddings from the 80s...

Here are a few layouts I cooked up last night. I accidentally printed the elements out in black and white, but decided I really liked the feel of them! I thought it went nicely with the vintage book pages.

I used a trick I think I read years ago in a scrapbooking book. Use a removeable clear tape and tape the paper to a regular sheet of computer paper. Tape up all the sides and then feed it through your printer, tape side down. And ta-da, you have fun paper!

P.S. I'll be posting my do projects on Wednesdays now. :)

just so you know

Things you should know about Kitschy Digitals:

-Danielle Thompson is a wonderwoman.

-Kara has not used this much COLOR in a long time.

-If you're scared of printing, you can buy them here to cut out at your will. With real scissors. Like Kara does.

-Kara stayed up until 1:30 making these because she felt like scrapbooking. This composition will now make sense to you knowing that.

-KD is over at jessicesprague.com. Oh yeah baby.

- Danielle has a super cute Valentines freebie up for grabs here.

- Kirsty Neale, who is really cool by the way, printed the cabinet cards on FABRIC. For reals.

You are now are more learneded person. Congratulate yourself. Or Kara.

Layouuuts.

Helllloooo. Here are some layouts I made with some  Kitschy Digitals. (If you're scared of digital, you can get everything I used in Danielle's shop.)

I've had that little Anthro bag for awhile and finally decided to use it. I love hidden journaling!

Wanna know a confession? I haven't gone scrapbook shopping in well over a year. I use glue sticks and pick up my journaling pen at the grocery store. I don't care much about acid-free jazz, I'm lucky to work for some cool companies where I get a wonderful stream of pretties for me to work with. For everything else, I turn to my stash or whatever I can find around my house. Like newspaper! Yay!

Happy week!

Kitschy Digitals

I'm really excited to share some pages I made with some of Danielle Thompson's really cool Kitschy Digitals Kits. I did some pages for KD when it was just a baby and I'm ecstatic to be able to do it again.

I made these pages with her new Woodgrain frames cut-outs. One cool thing(okay, there are tons of cool things) about Kitschy Digitals is that Danielle offers them in printed form. Check them out!
