catching up

So why do I feel like I am always playing a game of catch up here?  I thought I better post before I get too far behind.

So first off, I played with a NEW (to me) designer, Anna Aspnes.  Her designs are best suited for artsy layouts which is not my typical style.  However I do love experimenting and playing with new products.  I really have to thank my dear friend, ViVre, for inspiring me to give it a try.  Her photos and layouts are always so gorgeous!  Plus I think it is really cool that she lives in the Netherlands and is 11 hours ahead of me.

This is what I came up with.  I actually really loved how it turned out.  Anna has some really nice photo masks that make blended photos easy to do.  Also many of her papers have a blended look to them so that takes the work out of doing it myself.  On March 10th, I got a Gallery Standout on this first layout.  I was so excited because this was my first time doing a real artsy layout.



Here are 2 more project life pages that I completed this week.



This month I am also playing along with DHD's March Madness.  So far I have completed 2 rounds.  Both both of the layouts, I used their free (if you did their blog hop game), Spring Menagerie collab kit.



As you can see, I have a range of styles to show you today.  I think that is what makes this hobby so much fun.  I promise to be back soon and be a better blogger.

  1. Oh I saw your Anna inspired LO got GSO Kym ... congratulations! Bostyn looks sooooo cute in her bikini. I wish I could get to grips with Anna's products, for me, they're just a little too arty ... I love seeing everyone elses LO's but I;m never too happy with mine. Hey-hoo, practice makes perfect, right?!?!?!

  2. Hi Kym, your layouts are adorable:
    both the artsy ones ánd the other ones.
    In my opinion scrapbooking is not about a designer or a style, but about expressing oneself. And don't forget: enjoy the journey!!

    Xoxo, ViVre
