Keep The Faith & a Freebie

Hi Ho everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful week. It has been very busy for me, but I have been able to scrap a little. And today I am going to show you layouts I made with a kit by Scrappin' Serenity called Keep The Faith. I was immediately drawn to this kit when I saw it in the store because of the colors. The grey, green, yellow and brown combo just really caught my eye. Then when I looked at all the elements I was hooked!!! Just look at the linked preview below to see how really great it is.

I really love the papers in this kit, I think because the colors can be both spring and fall, so they are so versatile. I really love the patterns she used as well. The photo is my niece at Thanksgiving, telling a story and she had us all laughing.

And of course I love the flowers in the kit, they are so pretty. I love kits that have lots of different flowers so I can use them all over the page. With this layout of my friend's daughter, I wanted to show off how well these colors work with black and white photos.

I used the cluster from the last layout and created a freebie for you!!! I hope you find a good use for it. The preview is linked, so simply click and download. And as always feel free to leave comments.

After you have downloaded the freebie, make sure you head over to the store and pick up Keep The Faith, because you will find lots of uses for it.

Down By The Lily Pad & a Freebie!!

Down By The Lily Pad is a great outdoor kit featuring pond life and the soothing colors of nature.  You'll love all the different frogs and other water friendly animals in this kit!  You'll have to hurry to catch this kit though.  It retires at the end of the month.  Because it's in the retiring soon bin for a couple more days, you can grab this fabulous kit for just a $1.  With that savings, you'll be able to grab the matching worn paper pack with is just $0.80!  Check it out.  Previews are linked to the store.

I created this first layout documenting the flooding at my In-laws last summer for the August Color challenge.

This second layout was created for the August Scraplift Challenge.  The worn paper pack lends itself well to blending!  I always wonder how people create certain effects on their layouts so here you go: I created circles of the beige paper the same size as my photos as a base to blend them on.  Then I used the soft light blend mode on my photos and duplicated them 3 times to create the saturated blend.

Christie Dawn of Scrappin' Serenity was gracious enough to allow a freebie on this kit, so here you go- 1 pre-shadowed cluster to border the layouts you create with this kit!
