Dandelion Dust Designs - July Mojo Mods

Ginger changed things up a bit for this month's Dandelion Dust Design Mojo Mods... and for the months going forward. For every challenge you earn a point and at the end of the quarter you're in the draw for some free shopping.

These are some lovely challenges...some very simple and others with a few more requirements than just simply making a layout. I enjoyed doing them all over the weekend and here's the results:

Dance on the Sand

Opposite Only

Proud

Sunset

Freedom

Sparkle

All six challenges completed. Now the long wait till next month.

Edited: My beach layout for the Dance In The Sand challenge got picked at Layout of the Week 7/10. 

Cornelia Designs - Game Night

 It's new release day at The Digital Press and Cornelia has a wonderful kit called Game Night perfect for all those board games we play.

Check it out in the new release section at The Digital Press.

Scrapping With Liz - June 21 MIS

 I did my layout this morning for the Scrapping with Liz Make It Slowly challenge at The Lilypad. I keep forgetting to log in at the time of the challenge but thankfully we have at least 24 hours to finish it so with the time difference I can still get it made.

Today I tried something "new" ... I scrapped this layout completely in Affinity Photo for Windows... a program similar to Photoshop but WAY cheaper and slightly less complicated. Using a ready-made psd template I just had to clip my papers and photos to the right layers, alter the text boxes and add in a few embellishments. Super simple. I might just try a few more this way too.

Rachel Etrog - Note to Self July

 It's a brand new month and new release day at The Digital Press. Rachel has her newest kit, Note to Self July, available today as part of the special edition.

Check it out on special all weekend long.

Cornelia Designs - Independence

 It's time for the Special Edition release at The Digital Press. With it being Independence Day in the USA this weekend, this is the perfect kit from Cornelia for that. As I don't live in the US I went off theme for my layout and chose to do a page about Aaron's first step towards independence.

Check the full collection out on special this weekend at The Digital Press.
