Busy Bostyn: NEW52-Week 14, designer and strawberries

Yup, I'm early this week for my NEW52 posting. First of all, I want to introduce you to a NEW designer at Design House Digital. Her name is Gennifer Bursett. I met Gen last summer when she offered me a CT position at DHD. I excited said yes but didn't realize how much responsibility I was taking on (not just for DHD but other designers as well). Long story short, I am no longer doing CT jobs but love to get my hands on freebies and possibly do some guest spots. So when Gen asked me if I could do some layouts for her, I jumped at the chance. Here is her new mega kit, Sweet Child of Mine. There is one kit for boys and another for girls or you can just get this as a huge mega kit. I used both kits interchangeably in my layouts.

Gen also made these fine mist spray which is totally hot right now in the paper scrapping world. It is about time that someone made it digital. No more large paint splatters, ink blots, or coffee stains. This is my new fav and should be in every digi scrappers' tool box. She has 5 different volumes but this is my favorite one. It gives the extra texture and color with a very subtle effect.

Next, are these Writer's Block Torn Journaling pages.

Here are my layouts using elements and papers mostly from these kits. Can you see where I misted?

The 2nd part of my NEW52 are the NEW strawberries that are growing in our backyard. My mother-in-law planted them and they are now turning up bright red and sweet. Bostyn loves going out there and eating them straight from the garden. On the first page, I used Gen's mist. Can you tell how it gives the white background that little bit of extra color compared to the bottom page. The other elements on the page are mostly from Karla Dudley, also at Design House Digital.

There is also no secret that I also love scrapping with Oscraps. Here are a few layouts that I did for some April challenges. These pages are mostly using Open Road by Paislee Press.
