I love the color palette of this collection - so many possibilities - beachy or not!  Here are a few layouts for inspiration.  Beach Baby features a template by Tiffany Tillman (one of my favorites)

Suite Retreat showcases both papers and elements from the Toes in the Sand collection. I love the bold colors in this layout - perfect for this bold group of friends!

I hope you enjoy this collection as much as I do.  If you haven;t downloaded my current facebook freebie - head on over now - a new one will be available later in the week (see that cute alpha above - wink wink - just saying)

Enjoy the rest of the weekend...by the Shore.

Layouts and More

I hope you were able to stop by in March and download the freebies I had for you. Keep your eyes open for more free digital goodness in the near future- both here and on facebook.

I have been having fun the past few days - working on challenges and layouts. Too much digital happiness!

Here is a layout I completed for this week's Art Journaling Prompt at jessicasprague.com The prompt was "tomorrow". I find myself using music as the focal point in these layouts. I truly enjoy the process of Art Journaling - painting, stamping, chalking, inking - digitally of course.

This layout was part of a speedscrap on Thursday night at jessicasprague.com. A new 'requirement' was posted every 10 minutes. At the end of the hour you were done - you had a little bit of time to put those finishing touches on an load your layout to the gallery. I love speed scraps as you never know what will come next. Here were the requirements for this scrap....1) choose one photo that covers entire background - grab a few extra photos 2) get messy - digitally 3) add something with stripes 4) add stars! 5) use an element 3 times 6) use an office supply item 7)use the word YES in the journaling or title....



This was one of the weekly challenges at jessicasprague.com. The basic idea was to use a series of photos with the focus on the inanimate objects and not the person (though I could not resist including this one bigger pic of my daughter)

This layout was from Photoshop Friday 3-30-12 - again at jessicasprague.com. The template was provided as part of the 'lesson'. I chose the papers for Creativy by Crystal -RainbowSherbet. I love the bright playful colors.
And finally - this is my second project of a class I recently took at reneepearson.com ~ It's Elemental - taught by Tiffany Tillman. The focus of the class was on the use of elements - specifically on clustering (yes, I am cluster challenged) I love the way this one turned out. The paper and elements are from a kit by Creashens.

I am putting the finishing touches on week 13 of Project 366! I'll share that with you tomorrow.

A beautiful day here in Colorado....weather was spectacular....hope you had a great day in your corner of the world. Till tomorrow...by the Shore.

Another Great Class!

Tiffany Tillman (Simply Tiffany Studios) is getting ready to launch a new workshop -2011 Holiday Templates. I simply love Tiffany's classes and workshops - her teaching style is great - and I always walk away tickled pink with what I have completed.

I encourage you to check out the class - and there is a giveaway (did I forget to mention that) Check it out - >>>>> here


Have a great day....by the Shore

Sharing the Love!

One of my favorite digi bloggers is Simply Tiffany Studios. Tiffany is also one of my favorite digi instructors over at ReneePearson.com .

One of her latest blog posts shares a new resource for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements - RadLab. I am so impressed with what this program can do. It really simplifies the process of editing your photos - freeing your time for many other creative outlets. Take a few minutes and head over here to Tiffany's blog. She is also hosting a giveaway on her blog for one copy of RadLab.

On another note - I have been busy creating a new digital collection for you - here's a preview of what I will be releasing a bit later this month. Look very closely and perhaps you can identify the theme of this collection.

Have a wonderful weekend! Be back soon....by the Shore
