The Latest Scrapalicious Designs

Here is the first set of layouts I created with my latest DT kit from Scrapalicious. I still have plenty of this Imaginisce paper left, so there will be more to follow. My first page shows off this adorable photo of my niece Aeden, who I photographed while out west a few weeks ago. I completely fell in love with the cute polka dot top she is wearing in this photo, and couldn't help but highlight it using this flocked dot paper from Doodlebug, along with the whimsical Imaginisce paper and a chipboard bird from Maya Road.
I posted this photo as my peek a little while ago, and I used it because I completely love this Urban Prairie paper from Basic Grey. This paper was literally calling my name from the paper racks, saying "hand cut me!" ;-} Of course, I couldn't resist doing just that. The patterns are truly beautiful, and the colours make me happy simply by looking at them! It makes me think of spring.
I printed this longer, horizontal photo of Vanessa warming up with the rest of her ballet class quite a while ago, and have been waiting for the right inspiration to scrap it. I think I found the right papers for the job. This particular morning, the class was warming up prior to a little recital, and I loved the reflection of the teacher and the dancers in the mirror. You'll notice that their little 4-year-old attempts at mimicking their instructor are adorably imperfect! I placed a Maya Road crown on Vanessa's head to identify her.
From the archives, here's an older photo of Evan and Alicia from 2005. This was taken on the first trip we took after purchasing our first DSLR camera ever, a Nikon D70S. It was so exciting getting to know the camera a bit, and while this shot is far from perfect, technically speaking, I love the way it shows off the relationship between the siblings. Evan has always been a protective big brother, right from the start. I had fun crumpling and distressing the edges of the Doodlebug paper on this one.


There will be more to follow with these papers in a little while. Thanks for looking! :-)
