New Scrapalicious Designs

Here they are - my first layouts for 2008. These were created for Scrapalicious using the American Crafts Metropolitan collection papers and Fancy Pants' fantastic 12" x 12" felt shapes. If you haven't tried the felt yet, it is thick and sturdy and wonderful to work with. This page features a photo from last summer of Alicia and her eternal companion playing in the sandbox. If we let her, she would take that bear absolutely everywhere with her. You are never alone when you have a Teddy!
In October of last year, I was lucky enough to have taken engagement photos of my brother-in-law Justin and his beautiful fiance (who is now his wife), Rosa. I was thrilled to have the opportunity, and I managed to capture a number of photos that I really treasure. The fall colours of the kit I was working with this month were just perfect for my favourites from that photo shoot. Here I added a bit of sparkle with Doodlebug's sugar coated paper and my new Quickutz Metro font.
Here's is another favourite from the shoot, and I couldn't resist enlarging it, since I really love the white space that the brick wall provides. It seemed to be calling out for the title to be placed right on the photo.

I was really happy to get a good scrapping kick start to the New Year. I hope that this productivity is a sign for 2008. As another little resolution, I've also created a Life List, with my friend Tara's encouragement.I'll post more about that soon, so stay tuned!
