Cornelia Designs - New store opening

With The Digital Press closing at the beginning of April all the designers had to find a new home to sell their gorgeous goodies. Cornelia Designs is now available at Gingerscraps... yippee... more opportunities for me to scrap with my stash for the monthly challenges.

To celebrate her store opening Cornelia has two new kits available just in time for National Scrapbook Day (iNSD) too

First up is a collection called Let's Eat Pizza

and next we have a collection called Supermom & Superdad.... what a great tribute kit.

Take a look at Cornelia's new store at Gingerscraps and pick  up these collections or any of her previous ones on sale.

Gina Miller - Tacos & Tequilas

Gina has a fun kit available for today's SOSN sale called Tacos & Tequilas, as well as matching tnc. Now if you know me well you know I don't eat spicy food... and definitely not Mexican. BUT a few years back our company had our year end function at a Mexican restaurant so this kit was perfect to document some of those memories.

Check out the sale on today only at The Lilypad

I used MissFish's Buffet template set called Duo 2 Photo Collage for this layout. You can get this template on sale till the 5th at Gingerscraps.

MissFish - Dynamic Duo

It's $2 Tuesday at Gingerscraps and MissFish has a lovely kit and template on sale today. I played with Dynamic Duo template for my layout.

Apr23 challenge summary

After the crazy busy last two months scrapping, I thought I'd take it a bit easier this month... yeah right! Well that didn't last long, because on the work side of life everything speed up double time with me landing a new private work contract... so now I am shuffling my life to fit in scrapping time. I thankfully did still manage to get quite a few challenges done.

The Studio - LAD Apr23

In amongst all my busy workload this month I still tried to do the LAD at The Studio... creating a layout a day with specific requirements. As much as I could I tried to use layouts that I had on hand to match, but others I had to make specifically. Here's what I achieved:

2. LOTS of patterned papers. - Gina Miller Springaling

3. Two sides of the story.

4. Using DOTS

5.  Large focal photo - MissFish Blended Landscapes 1

7. Rule of Thirds - MissFish Magical Days

8. Squint rule - Gina Miller Poppyseed

9.  Light / Dark - Adrienne Skelton My Little Chef

10. Weighed down - using MissFish Happy Days kit and Former Freebies 3 from the retirement sale

11. Asymmetry - Gina Miller Willow

12. Bad Photo - Gina Miller Marvin

13. Journaling - I cheated a bit here and used a very old layout as I ran out of time to make a new on.

14. Equal Pattern & Solid papers (made also for TLP BYOC challenge)

15. Circle in the centre - MissFish Magical Kingdom

I really don't know if I will do this challenge next month... might miss it to relieve some of the pressure off me seeing as I am now so busy with work.
