Scrapbooking and Design Inspiration

Fresh Picked

thefairy — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:15:26 +0000

I love going to farmer’s markets. You can pick up fresh, local vegetables and fruit to use for dinner that night or even the rest of the week. There is something so wonderful about the tents and seeing little containers, with beautiful produce and hand written price signs. It’s so much nicer than florescent lights and the fake green under layer you find in most grocery stores. The whole experience reminds me of lazy summer days, picnics and just enjoying the warm weather.

This week as Scrap Girls celebrates Staycation, I have designed the Strawberry Jubilee Collection. It’s a bright, cheery collection that brings to mind summer fun. This digital scrapbooking kit will bring a playful style to all your summer memories.

Here’s some inspiration using Strawberry Jubilee.

The best part is it’s on SALE! Check out the Staycation SALE event through July 31st, 2010 at Scrapgirls.com for all kinds of goodies. There’s also all kinds of message board games, challenges and chats for you to join in as well.

An American City: Washington DC

thefairy — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 14:24:47 +0000

I’ve been to Washington DC a bunch of times and there is still always something I haven’t seen. It’s a city with so much history and so much to see and do, it is hard to get it all done in one visit. Using the American City Collection at ScrapGirls.com I created this digital scrapbooking layout about just one of those trips. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to get all the rest of my DC photos scrapped.
