Florence at night - Tourist trap challenge at DDR

And another challenge... we were told to scrap a night photo... Well, I don't have that many, but I found a beautiful one, taken by my husband in Florence in 2006. I am pretty satisfied with the way the layout turned out ;-)

My golden boy - Brushes challenge at Pickleberrypop

Hey-ho, I've been pretty diligent lately, I am now entering a new challenge, this time with an older layout that I made with my very first kit (Fall Harmony) and that I now improved a little bit. I just felt like doing this because of the nice brushes that I used...

Winter splendour - Scraplift Challenge at DDR

Here is the page that we were supposed to lift: Serenity.

And here is my page, of which I must say in all modesty that I am very proud :-))

The picture was taken by Bogdan on our 2004 winter holiday in the Romanian mountains (Sinaia, cota 2000) and I still find it breathtakingly beautiful.

Color and template challenges on DDR ;-)

As I said, I started to enjoy participating in some of the challenges on Digidesign Resort. Here are two layouts for the January color and the template challenges. I made them with the lovely kit FROZEN by Thaliris (one of my favourite designers) and used two photos of David of last winter. Oh my God, how time flies!

I like your smile by Mamrotka and Cali Designs

Time for some new CT layouts. I chose a gorgeous new collab kit by Mamrotka and Cali Designs, called I like your smile.

Available at DigiDesign Resort and Scrap Bird

For my first layout I chose sweet adorable Mia, the daughter of a good friend of mine. Thanks a lot, Claudi, for letting me use this beautiful photo!

On the second layout you can see my lovely ever-smiling son David soon after his first birthday last summer.

9 days of Xmas - Scraplift Challenge

I made this page for the December scraplift challenge on DigiDesign Resort. I am pretty happy with how it turned out, but at the same time I can't take too much credit for it, I have to admit that most layouts with kits by this incredibly talented designer seem to just appear by themselves, as if the elements are just looking all alone for their perfect place on the page... everything flows so easily... and the result is always beautiful...
