A little late ...

... but these were my publications last month (August 2009) in ScrapStreet Magazine ...



Baby Girl

I love the look of lace paper and I decided to make some digital lace paper myself. I tried to make the paper stand out by keeping the design very simple and layering it on top of two different colored backgrounds.

Paper and Ribbon: Lady Bugga by Jennifer Barrette and Lauren Grier (Sweet Shoppe Designs), Lace Paper: Janneke Smit, Ric-rac: West Coast Girls by Libby Weifenbach and Krystal Hartley (Sweet Shoppe Designs), Badge: Party Perfect by Dora’s Designs (ScrapStreet), Staple: Bubble-Licious by Christy Lyle & Zoe Pearn (Sweet Shoppe Designs), Fonts: Occidental, Times New Roman, Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3.




Happy Summer

I cut away a small strip on the right side of the front of the card. I adhered some patterned paper on the inside of the card. So when the card is closed it shows a small strip of the paper on the inside of the card (just one line of dots.)

I used this sketch for "Security Tape Mummies", which was published in ScrapStreet Magazine in April 2008:

Mmmm ... Strawberries ...

This page was published on the Cover of ScrapStreet Magazine in July 2009!

A premade transparency makes a quick and beautiful embellishment. I simply added some bling to the flower centers, and a strawberry button (after cutting off the shank). Some vertical lines made with colored pencils draw the viewer’s eyes into the main photo. I printed the title and journaling directly onto the cardstock.

Supplies: Paper: My Mind’s Eye, Cardstock: Canson, Transparency: Fancy Pants, Bling: Heidi Swapp, Button: Dress It Up, Color Pencils: Around the Block, Fonts: Arno Pro, Arial.
