Just trying this out

I wanted to try my hand at designing, since I've had a few ideas swirling in my head for cute kits that I couldn't find anywhere else. Photoshop has so many amazing capabilities, but creating your own papers and embellishments is difficult!! I really need more help in creating better textures and shadows, as well as a tutorial 0n how to make ribbon, bows, and twine!

I'm sure I'll look back at this kit and laugh at myself, but here it is, after MUCH effort.... my first digi-kit...Sprinkles. There are more papers, frames, and even ribbons not in the preview.

The Beach

This is a really versatile kit from Designer Mischifis at Scrapmatters.com.
I especially love the detailed elements!!!

Jeni Hopewell

I haven't worked with Jeni's products before this month's CT assignment. I loved the colors in this kit right when I saw it, and knew I could use all of the papers and elements in so many different ways. Go and see all of her great kits & alphas at the Scrapmatters store!

I've been tagged by an AWESOME digi-scrapper and another CT member, Melanie! Check her out here... I can't wait to meet her!

1. I can't watch movies or tv shows that I've already seen once. We own a bunch of great dvd's, but I rarely watch them!

2.
I LOVE HIKING! It is one of my favorite things about living where I do.

3.
I finished a sprint triathlon in 2005! It was one of those things on my bucket list!

4.
I love photography and taking pictures. I've taken 2 classes in the last few years to try and improve!

5. I can't eat raw onions!

6. I can't drive a stick-shift. I've tried learning, but I'm HORRIBLE at it!

7.
I read really fast! I don't know if it's because I read a lot or what, but when I sit down to read, I can burn through a really thick book in NO time flat. Reading is one of my favorite things to do!

I tag: Anyone who wants to!
