…Farm Fresh Digi-Style

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE MY SPARKLE CREATIONS RUBBER STAMPS’ PREVIEW FOR TODAY

Happy Friday, everyone!  It’s time for another Farm Fresh Friday Challenge over at The Greeting Farm Blog, and this week we have a SCRAPBOOK SKETCH CHALLENGE By Melyssa.  I’m not a huge fan of paper scrapbooking, but I absolutely LOVE digital scrapbooking.  So I begged Jessica to let me make some digital layouts using the TGF digital images to show how versatile they can be.  It is easy as pie to create simple outlined images, but it is also a cinch to color the images in Photoshop (I opted to leave mine outlines in this instance).  ***I will have a tutorial soon on how to create custom digital images.

I used “WS-Jeremy” and “WS-Odette” on this page beside the title.    I paired the photo of my son and his best friend with digi patterned papers from the Sweet Shoppe Design’s Day One SB Kit by Lauren Grier (the black frame around their names was also from this kit).  The torn spiral edges and scalloped strip were created using the Sweet Shoppe Designs’ Punchy Edges Kit by Julie Billingsley, and the stitching was from the Bad Sewing Machine I Kit by Traci Reed.  The star embellishments, folded paper medallion, and splattered Kraft paper were all from the Wondrous Kit by Julie Billingsley.  VIOLA…a digital scrapbook page using Melyssa’s sketch! :)

…Momma’s Little Bakers

Happy Friday, everyone!  It’s time for another Farm Fresh Friday Challenge over at The Greeting Farm Blog, and this week we have a FALL-THEMED SCRAPBOOK CHALLENGE.  I’m using the new Amelia image from the “OA-Just For You” set to create my page.  Amelia was stamped in Black Ink, then colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  This page also includes several of my favorite fall colors that we’re beginning to see here in the hills of northwest Georgia.  I paired the image with some patterned papers from BasicGrey’s Sublime paper pack, then dry embossed the vertical panel with a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder.  I also added the three stars from the “Spotlight  Kit” set.  After adding some Stitching, Sponging, Corduroy Thickers, and tons of Dimensionals the scrapbook layout was complete!

…TGF Monthly Scrapbook Challenge

Hello there, TGF fans!  We have some exciting news for you!  We will start having monthly Scrapbook Challenges in addition to normal challenge format over at The Greeting Farm Blog.  On the second Thursday of every month the Farmers will be issuing and playing along with a plethora of fun and inventive challenges geared towards getting your “scrap on”!  :)

 

Today we have a Scrapbook Sketch (or layout) Challenge designed by…ME!  You’ll see me using the abbreviations “SB L/O” (scrapbook layout) quite a bit when these challenge days roll around, so don’t flip out!  LOL!  Speaking of flipping, I flipped this week’s sketch 90 degrees to the left so that the ribbon would be in the lower left-hand corner…as you can see I interpreted the sketch very loosely.

As soon as I remembered that I had a SB L/O to do, I knew that I wanted to use one of my favorite pictures from my CHA stash!  I had been dying to meet Sankari Wegman for a LONG time, and I was over-the-moon when I finally got the opportunity to actually hug her and carry on a face-to-face conversation.  She has the prettiest smile and the warmest personality of anyone you will ever meet, and she love to hear this crazy southern girl’s drawl!  LOL!  I used one of my numerous digital scrapbook kits to create the layout, then added the “HG Classy Digi” after I altered the colors of her hair, dress, and skin using Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.

Now let’s see what the other Farmers have in store for you today:

• Jessica Diedrich
• Cindy Haffner
• Kadie Ensley
• Mary Giles
• Melyssa Connolly

That’s it for now!  Thanks for stopping by, and I will see you back here shortly with a SPECIAL BLOG HOP…you will NOT want to miss it!  Until then…
