Emily's ATC Binder

A little over a year ago I got to spend some time with my niece who was 12 then.  She told me that when she grows up she wants to be an Artist!  Much to my delight, of course.  I've been encouraging that dream ever since by sending her little things and making art for her.  I recently suggested we start trading ATCs and she said that sounded good!  Again, much to my delight.  SO... I decided to get a binder together for her and some baseball card sleeves (ATCs fit perfectly in them) to go in the binder and I made her a nice insert for her binder.  It's all set, complete with her very first ATC and it will go in the mail on Monday.  I'm SO excited.

Here's the insert I made for the binder:

And here it is all printed and put together:

Wild Blue Yonder by Finecrafted Designs

The moment I saw this kit I knew it was special.  I've had a deep seated love for flying as long as I can remember.  I dream of being able to fly.  When I was a teen I was given the opportunity of a lifetime- the gift of flight.  I learned to fly and it was the greatest feeling I could ever imagine- being up there in the clouds looking down at this beautiful planet we live on.  But I squandered it away.  I was young.  And now... what I wouldn't give to be in the sky again.

My page today is inspired by a prompt from the Art Journal Caravan.  It will go into my quote book.

Blocking and Popping by M&M Designs

I've got 2 super new products to show you that are coming out of Scrap Take Out.  One is a brand new set of templates called Blocking and Popping by M&M Designs and the other is the monthly collab with contributions from many of the designers at STO.  It's a really fun kit with some sweet elements.  But first, I want to show you what I made.

Here's my layout:

Color Me Pretty Templates- Set 2 by Dagi's Temp-tations

I'm so excited to tell you that I've found a new Store CT to be a part of.  It's a fun new store and I'm very excited to be a part of their growing process.  I think it has a lot of potential.  Great designers there, easy to navigate and an extremely fun community.

I just completed my first page as a Site Creative Team member!  I used a template from a new template pack called Color Me Pretty Templates- Set 2 by Dagi's Temp-tations.  The template and the kit were really fun and easy to work with and I love how my page turned out.

Find Yourself by Sweet Digi Scraps

I'm completely blown away by this new collection by Sweet Digi Scraps, created for her guest spot at The Digi Chick.  It's HUGE!  But the fun thing about this collection is you only buy the parts of it that you want, so you don't end up with some ridiculous MEGA kit that you'll never use because you got lost after link 27 of downloading.  I chose to work with the part of the kit called "The Trainer" because I'm losing weight and making great progress in my journey to getting healthy.  I had a before picture and a 6 month picture and this kit was perfect for showcasing them.

Courage by eNKay Designs and Dana Zarling

I get so excited over color!  Which is funny because in my day to day life I don't usually wear a lot of colors and when I choose different items they're usually not very colorful.  Color is definitely "outside the box" for me, but it's such a treat for my eyes.  Maybe it scares me, maybe I'm not sure how to make it work... Anyway, when I saw the colors of this new kit by eNKay and Dana Zarling I definitely got excited.

2 Kits by Unforgettable Moments

Unforgettable Moments is my Designer Partner for August at Ginger Scraps.  I'd been eyeing one of her kits for some time and figured this would be the time to snag it.  I had a great picture to use too, so this page was a lot of fun to make.  I also wanted to play in some of the fun challenges over at GingerScraps this month, but the time got away from me.  I think with all the heat we had I just lost my creativity.  But I did manage to grab the template from the second half Template Challenge.
