vintage patina


I was looking thru my scrapbooking stuff on the computer (I'm actually trying to organize about a terabyte of scrap-stash, 5 minutes at a time.... so it'll take a while) and found this quick page from Retro-Design and I knew I had just the picture for it too.... ( I pretty much LOVE all her stuff, but have to get by on freebies for now. This one, is actually still available at Deco-Pages!! Check out the whole kit here: Vintage Patina )
Here's the result:


I LOVE old black and white movies. And over the last year, I've had ample time, be it forced, to  indulge!
I was rerererere-watching The Thinman with William Powel and Myrna Loy the other day, and noticed that the same statue is in their front yard :-)
It looked familiar when I took the picture, but I thought it was because we'd been in the garden before LOL.

Talk later :-)

I am sad today......

The first site that introduced me to digital scrapbooking, and the fun of taking part in challenges, is closing down.  DECO-PAGES.COM will go off the web on November 11.

I am working on the last newsletter, but my heart is not in it. I'm going to miss the site, the people and the fun.We're all hoping that things will go in a way that we can connect again, but you never know. We're going to try and stay in contact though. 

For now, this is pretty much what has been on my mind, so......
I'll be back in a while.

This is the very first digital lay-out that I ever posted...... 


It was (and is) a THANK YOU to the site and designers.

OOPS!!!

I was bad...... I forgot to post the new kit, available at Ivy Scraps....
And it's SO COOL!
I looked at it, liked it, played with it, and completely spaced the bit where I tell you about it!

Check it out!


It's full of things to scrap halloween/costume parties with, but also everyday life.
It's got warm colors (LOVE the red paper) and elements (Silhouettes and elegant masks)....
You just have to go see for yourself!
The kit is a collaboration of 6 designers, and comes with 64 papers and 126 elements.
And....... It's HALF OFF right now!


Here's a page I made with it.

(Still working on another, can't find the picture on my hard drive I want to use. And I KNOW it's on there!)
So, after finding that special picture, I think I'm going to spend a little bit of extra time organizing my HD...... It should cut down on the "search-time" and increase the "play-time"! 

Ok, no news yet on the organizing, but I DID find the picture I was looking for! LOL
Here's the page:


Don't take my word for it that this is a great kit, Go check it out for yourself.......
