Two in one week...

I love scrapbook challenges, especially when I am able to think of an idea right away to fit the challenge. This challenge was to use a screen shot from a website on a page. I had just taken some fun pictures of my kids and nieces and nephews holding a toad, so I did a quick search on Wikipedia for toad info. I found a page I liked and did a screen shot, then cropped out the pictures I didn't want on my page. I found papers and elements to fit the feel of the page, then put it all together. Here's how it looks:


Supplies:
Background paper: Harvest Sky by Gina Cabrera, Digital Design Essentials (I changed the color of it, though)
Stamped letters: Little Dreamer Designs (color change by me)
June Tag: LivE Designs (JessicaSprague.com)
Stapled Tags: Thank Ya Kindly kit by Jessica Sprague
Dotted paper: Creativity by Crystal for JessicaSprague.com
And the font for journaling is Cochin (I think I forgot to list that when I posted it to the Spraground gallery. Whoops.)

And finally, another scrapbook page!

Between photography classes, photoshoots, and now editing classes, I haven't had much creative computer time for scrapbooking. This is interesting, considering that the reason for the photography and editing classes is to take better pictures for scrapbooking. However, this week is the 2nd birthday bash for my favorite digi-scrapping website, Jessica Sprague, and to celebrate they are having some fun challenges and freebies. Yesterday's freebie was just what I needed to make a page out of this:


This is easily one of my favorite photos right now. I took it for my Portrait class last month, but have had it planned ever since my daughter started holding worms. When I saw the challenge and freebie yesterday over at Jessica Sprague, I knew the page and photo were perfect for each other. Here's the finished product:


The papers and embellishments are all from the freebie kit by LivE Designs, which is now available in the Jessica Sprague shop. Fonts are Savoye LET (titles) and Bodoni SvtyTwo OS ITC TT.
