Digiscrap Projects Part 2

by Brooke on October 8, 2008

I’m glad I provided some laughs on my previous post, and I loved hearing some of your stories too. :) Ahhhh. The silly things we do.

I just have a few more little projects to put here that I made for the DSM booth at the Scrapbook Expo.

**A Happy Halloween pillow box for treats.

You’ve probably seen these before. . . for this one I used a pillow box template from http://www.ggdigitaldesigns.com/ and used papers from DSM. Printed at Costco (accidently on glossy paper but hey, it worked fine), cut out and folded into shape, then secured with double-sided sticky tape and wrapped a ribbon around it. Presto, a fun way to give Halloween treat to someone.

**A little boy birthday card.

This was easy. I just printed out one of the cute car graphics from the “Oh Boy” CD at DSM, adhered it to cardstock and added real red and clear buttons.

**One of my favorites: a book of colors for Annie.

This honestly came together so quickly and was really fun to make. I wanted to make Annie her very own customized book of colors. I already had most of the pictures–I wanted the objects to be her own things and have her in the pictures somehow, even if it was just her hand or foot. :) I just kept the design VERY simple so as not to distract from the pictures. I used various papers from various kits of DSM. I made them the size of “badge albums” so I could just slide them into those ID badge covers from Walmart, roughly 2.5 by 3.5 inches or something like that. I could easily fit 2 little layouts on a 4×6 photo from Costco. I’m happy with how it turned out, and so is Annie. :) Here are the digital files so you can see each of the pages. You can click to enlarge.


Oh, and here are just a few of my favorite layouts I’ve recently done.




Oh, and a little Thanks card for a swap I was in.

So there you have it! Working on some more fun things to put on here later on this month.

OH! I almost forgot!! I will be giving away TWO free links to the September 2008 Bella Scraps Magazine issue! It is a digital download, not a paper copy, just so you know. Just leave a comment on this post by midnight Friday, October 10, 2008, and I will choose 2 random people to win, and will send you the download keys (not to be shared with anyone else, please!). If you aren’t a digiscrapper and aren’t interested, just let me know. Because you can still leave a comment. :) :) :)

I would love to win Brooke! Pick me pick me! Oh and your projects are adorable! For those boxes do you do photo paper? I always wonder how photo paper will fold, I am thinking of doing those for thank you gifts for a baby shower I am throwing this weekend that is why I am wondering.

I just came across your blog off of your facebook account, holy cow you’re talented. I definitely want to be just like you when I grow up. I really would love it if you would teach me how to do some of that digiscrapbooking you’re so good at. I have lots of pictures but haven’t done anything with them. If you get bored feel free to take a look around our blog. Not nearly as beautiful as yours but sometimes mildly entertaining.
