Congratulations to Scrapbird. Her layout Title Page has been selected as the featured layout of the week where she won a $ 5 DesignerDigitals Gift Certificate for product of her choice!
I couldn’t go past this adorable page by LeAnne (aka digishoes):
Bordering the page with a bolder color or a patterned paper is a great way to ‘ground’ the photos and elements on your page.
And a centered photo with added embellishments is always a great design jump-start. And LeAnne has made it extra special with the titled photo pegged to the page, the gorgeous banner behind in co-ordinating colours - and the perfect finishing touch of the slightly off-center journaling block.
I loved lifting this page, and so did Tara and Sam:

It’s Thrifty Thursday at DesignerDigitals where we have a brand new item priced at just $ 99 cents and 507 items marked down 30%. These specials only last until 6am EST on Friday morning so don’t miss out.
This week is an all Katie challenge! All three of the challenge kits are by Katie . . . our Store Owner, Designer, Scrapper . . . inspiration . . . you name it!
I am thinking back a few months when we were using extras along with the three challenge kits . . . so this week you can pick three additional all Katie products for extras too. Only two rules . . . all Katie . . . no more extras, only three! Not too hard . . . not too easy . . . just a little temporary change up.
I’ve browsed the Designer Digital’s Store and have pulled out one of my favorite paper packs and photo frame sets from 2009 along with a fairly new set of Fine Line Twists.
Here are the three basic kits that I have chosen from Katie:
Classic Curled Photo Frames No. 01
I have been bad . . . again . . . (hanging my head in shame)! I came very close to forgetting the three kits challenge this week. No excuse the usual busy life like every one of you . . . maybe a few brain cells gone astray since my last birthday party! So, Lynn (grandma Lynnie) and I scrapped three different layouts with the three Katie kits and three Katie extras of our choice! I was in a bit of a scrap slump, but once I got started on the challenge, I had a ball . . . darling husband may be wondering why his shirt wasn’t ironed for church on Sunday, but he didn’t say a word!
The challenge for Lynn and myself and for you is to create a layout using the three challenge kits and only the three extras of Katie’s which you chose. When you finish your layouts, upload them to the 3 Kits 3 Ways Gallery here at Designer Digitals.
My first page is all about the Luna Moth. They are favorites of ours and we watch & wait for them to return each May. I have used the following three extras: Krafty Alpha: Spring Green, All Set Alpha No. 01, and Date Strips No. 01.
My second page uses photos of our then one-year-old granddaughter playing in the sand. I used the following extras: Be Mine Tonal Stripes, Banner Strips Words: Love No. 01 & Photo Corners: Colors No. 02.
Next, Lynn [grandma lynnie] created a layout to remember her grandson’s first lost tooth. And, lost it was!! Lynn used these extras from Katie: Fairy Friends No. 01 Brushes and Stamps, Lightly Letter Box Paper Pack, Fairmont Solids Paper Pack.
Merrilee and I are partners for this challenge and we always look forward to seeing your pages posted in the 3Kits 3Ways Gallery.
There is inspiration everywhere so why not mix up the color challenge this week to create a fun palette inspired by a pin from Pinterest! This one to me is all about the pile of fun fabric ready to be created into something. Join us in creating your work of art with our newest color palette ‘comfy spots’ inspired by fabric by Amy Butler. Your challenge once again is to create a layout inspired by these colors and/or the photo. Use all currently available Designer Digitals products and upload your entry to the Color Challenge Gallery by 11:00 p.m. EDT on Sunday May 20th to be eligible to win! Our creative team will vote and the artist will win a $5 DD gift certificate for product of their choice! Can’t wait to see your pages!
