Autumn Scrapbook ~ Recap & all the rest!!

 
 

I have had so much fun with this project!  I hope you've enjoyed browsing through it. Here are some closeups and examples of the change-ups that make it so versatile.  The stamped images are all from Unity Stamp Co. with the exception of the circles background (Penny Black) & scrolls (Inkadinkado) on the cover and the Sparkle & Sprinkle digi image on the front cover while the dies and papers  are from various companies.  If you are interested in any of them, leave a comment & I will get back to you with specifics!! Here's a link to fun with the fox as I planned the pages.

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 adventure 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 :)

***Don't forget, now that you're feeling all creative, to visit the PIP Challenge Blog for more inspiration and link up 3 of your current projects for 3 chances to win a $15 gift from Sparkle & Sprinkle!!!!!  

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!!!

My all time favorite stamp from Sparkle & Sprinkle is Watered Garden Isaiah 58 and here it is as a note card that offers hope & refreshment.  I like it because it can be used for encouragement or a just because! I think inside a little frame on a desk top would be really cute!!

So many sizes and colors to make this great digi!!  Today I decided to use several Nuvo Crystal Drops as accents, including the water and blue edging.

PIP CHALLENGE # 1820

Welcome back to another PIP Challenge posting!  I know in many parts of the world and US Spring is already in full swing. But here in the Pacific NW that is not always the case!

We are loving more sunny days and greener lawns but here & there a little sleet & hail keeps peeking into our Spring!  Today I noticed the lilacs are nearly in full bloom though, along with the apples and I'm lucky enough to still have some colorful tulips lighting up the ground beneath it all!

This image definitely puts me in the mind set of Spring and reminds me that even during the hail storms my spirit will flourish, through the living water that is Christ Jesus.  I know the Israelites  were suffering from drought but I think flourishing in adversity is the message of hope here!! What  a beautiful word image as well as a beautiful digital stamp! Watered Garden Isaiah 58 was provided by our generous sponsor "Sparkle & Sprinkle" who is giving away a prize of $15 to use in their store!!  All you have to do is create a project, anything goes, and post it on the PIP Challenge Blog!!!!

This Digi has been enlarged to cover a full sheet of 8.5 x 11 inch paper!! Even at this size it still has great detail & smooth lines!  I am contemplating using it for the top of a calendar or as the center of a large cork bulletin board.  The beauty of it is I can print it again and again in any size to fit whatever project occurs to me!!  Digis are great that way!!

I have colored my image simply with gel pens & Zig water colors. The lettering was shadowed on one side to give the whole project a little more depth & color and a final application of white gel pen & crystal gem accents complete this easy but pretty  project!
