Digital Scrapbooking Blog and Scrapbook Inspiration
from DesignerDigitals

This week the field is wide open . . . we have no particular heritage category today.  So just find a great old photo from the 70’s or earlier and scrap away.  Too easy?  I’ll throw in one request . . . let’s put a modern twist to our heritage pages this time.  When going through the fabulous Heritage Gallery I find that often times I am drawn to the simple and sort of mod looking layouts . . . so I thought that perhaps it might be fun to see what some others come up with too.

I typed “heritage” into the search box in the Designer Digitals Store and came up with loads of cool heritage products . . . and I think that these are particularly mod looking. 

Conifere Kit

Alphabetize Me Brushes and Stamps No. 05

Coming Unglued: Families Alphabet

Cut Ups: My Family Genealogy

Now go through the store on you own and find some other “non-heritage” products for your pages and share them with us in the Heritage Gallery.  Take a look at the pages that CT members Carol [carollee], Sharon [Shannamay] and I [readstoomuch] have made for the challenge.

Carol’s A Note to My Future Self used these products:  Pink Florale Paper Pack, Valentine Pretties Paper Pack: Solids,  Ripped and Stitched Do-it-Yourself No. 03, Artistry d’amour Add-On Paper Pack Clean Stitched: White No. 03, Stitched Journal Strips No. 03, Classic Curled Photo Frames No. 03, Nana’s Buttons and the new and fabulous Anders Kit.

Next we have Sharon’s Love these Memories about her Nana & Grandy.  Sharon used the following from the DD Store:  Filed Photo Frames No. 06, Mega Tag Pack, Anders Kit and Hello Life Boxes Brushes & Stamps No. 03.

The last page is my own . . . I have used the following products:  Design Your Life Template No. 12, Bead Scatterings No. 03, Fine Line Twists No. 01, Fiske Kit, Love Sentiment Strips and Artistry d’amour Add-On Paper Pack.

Lynn aka Grandma Lynnie, my Heritage Challenge co-writer for the blog & I hope that you will draw inspiration from Debi, Jana and the two of us this week for Heritage Challenge No. 49. We would love to see your back to school pages in the Heritage Gallery along with ours.  Remember that your pages should use products from the Designer Digitals Store and feature memories from the 1970’s or earlier.  Some of you may be surprised that you are considered “heritage” girls!!!

Congratulations to lizziet5. Her layout Hello Pappa has been selected as the featured layout of the week where she won a $ 5 DesignerDigitals Gift Certificate for product of her choice!

Hi everyone! Katie here, stepping in for Lynn this weekend!

Tracermajig aka Trace, has been putting up some amazing pages in the gallery lately. And some of them are without pictures which is really great. It is all about the story after all and there aren’t always pictures to go with it. But it’s still a story to tell and I love that she is doing such a great job with her pages! This weekend I chose “I Don’t” as the Saturday Scraplift!

Steph took a turn at an “I Don’t” page too!

If you read the 3K3W blog challenge from two weeks ago here on the DD Blog, you may have noticed that Merrilee and I are trying to create new 3K3W challenges with a little pizzaz!  Last week Merrilee introduced the challenge with a new twist . . . and this week I am following her lead and doing a second 3 x 3 = 9 kits challenge!  Bailey, Elena & Kathleen have created three pages with three kits of their choice . . . that gave us the nine kits to choose from.  If you would like to join these talented CT members, you can choose 3 of these 9 kits to use for your layout.  I love the widened leeway in the kits that Merr came up with.

Elena picked out three kits with all neutral tones for a page using photographs of her sister-in-law made during the Christmas holidays.

Katie’s Alandia Rancheros Kit

Katie’s Frame Me No. 02

and, Katie’s From My Bookshelf No. 02 Kit

here is Elena’s lovely Grateful for You layout:

Kathleen aka [kathleen.summers] found three of her favorite kits to create this darling page using a photo of her husband looking at their new little son with the reflection of Kathleen with her camera in the mirror!

Maplebrook Studio’s Solina Kit

Katie’s Taped Photo Collages No. 02

and, Cathy’s Messy Slab Alphas Brushes & Stamps

Be sure to look closely at the photograph in Kathleen’s sweet “Do You See What I See?” layout:

The final layout is from CT member Bailey [Starlight9711].  Bailey has created a sweet, sweet page with the three kits that she picked for this challenge.

Katie’s Fine Line & Bold Brushes

Katie’s Loves Park Kit

and, Lynn’s Geometric Hints Brushes & Stamps

Here is Bailey’s pretty You Are Loved layout

Merrilee and I look forward to seeing your pages posted in the 3Kits 3Ways Gallery.  We hope that you will join in the challenge by choosing 3 kits from the 9 kits featured on the blog today for your layouts.  It is quiet a challenge to limit yourself to three kits . . . especially if you love to use a dozen or more kits in your usual scrapping!!!  Have fun!
