Autumn Scrapbook/Journal Cover



                              Its been a lengthy & spectacular season of color!!
I am excited to share this Autumn 2018 inspired scrapbook/journal :)

What an adventur
e using this great digital image set "4 Season Wreath Bundle" from Sparkle and Sprinkle has been!  They are the sponsors of this weeks PIP Challenge #1846 and are providing a $15 prize to use in their gigantic store!!! 



My favorite thing about digital stamps is that you can manipulate them in countless ways!  Having 1 set like this one is like having hundreds of stamps --- really!! I fell in love with this wreath set. 
I messed around with digital layers and colors! Because they have so many leaf & berry options you can just drop in additional ones wherever you want.  The bow is also a drop in so you can color & position it any way you like!  I even messed with the "Spring Flowers" & made them red like poinsettia for another Christmas/Winter option :) (see fun ideas below!)

Ahhh! True love!  AND I didn't have to get out my chalks or pens to color it!!  

I also chose just a few berries to highlight with Glossy Accents.  

The inside of this little book is filled with colors and accents of the season. I hope you will come back to see them!!  I will link them HERE or you can click on the Autumn or Scrapbooking label below to see them as they get posted.  Thank you so much for following along ~ I really enjoy your company :)

DESIGN INFO:  

I love this great stamp set so much I wanted to share some of the options you have manipulating the images and colors to "stamp" just what your heart desires!!!  Most of this was done with simple layering on quarter turns and color changes using photo editing software.  The columns were made by first making 1 portion of greenery, welding it all together and then copy and pasting it a few times. Once I had several pasted I welded and then copy & pasted that larger section a few more times!  It was really quick as I was eventually doing a whole column at a time!  I used the same process with the wreaths! 
                                                 
Doesn't this just open a new WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES!!!

Wrapped up Warm... PiP Challenge 1844

WoW!!  It is already the 44th week of 2018!! How do the days slip by so quickly? It's nearly time for snow boots!!  No wonder this little gal looks so thoughtful; she's probably pondering that there are only 5 more months of Winter left!! (She must be a local)


"Wrapped up Warm" is the featured digi in this weeks PIP challenge. You can find her at the Polkadoodles website; sponsor for this weeks PIP Challenge - #1844.  Polkadodles is awarding the prize, 3 digis of choice to one lucky winner!!
How to win?  Download any current paper project at the Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenge Blogspot (up to 3!), anything goes!!  While you're there be sure to check out projects submitted by other PIP followers :)


This gift bag was fast, affordable & easy!  I picked up the mid size bag at the local Dollar Store.  Since there is no limit to how you can manipulate digital images I just printed it in the size I wanted and used coordinating blue & gray watercolors.  Then added lots of snowflake die-cuts covered in glitter!




All ready for a delivery of sweet treats!





Don't forget to visit the PIP Challenge blog and link up your projects! It's so fun & inspiring to see & share art.  I hope your Winter starts out beautiful, but in the mean time have a wonderful Autumn!!!
