Layouts with upcoming freebie kit

I took advantage of the miserable November weather and spent the weekend finishing my contribution for the "Stuff to Scrap" December blog train. I can't wait to publish the link for the freebie download. For now I made four quick layouts with the kit so you can get an idea.

Christmas cookies

As I didn''t manage to include a single gingerbread element in my kit for the "Gingerbread Christmas" collab-kit, I thought I should at least give away some cookies.



Cookies for you

All about autumn page kit

A while back I realized that I adore layouts with element clusters. And quite often these clusters contain scanned (or photographed) items like flowers, bows etc.

So my latest kit is quite different from what I've been making so far.

I hope you enjoy this quite big freebie kit. Please leave some love here on my blog if you download it. (And don't forget to tell your friends! :-))

If you're doing a layout with this kit, I'd love to see it, so give me a shout!

Comic Style Layout and tutorial link

For a weekly challenge at Scrapbookgraphics I was finally able to finish a comic style layout that I had been playing around with for a while. And I really like the way it turned out:



The really good tutorial that helped doing this page can be found at:

Yes I am kinda busy

I just wanted to leave a line or two here that I'm still alive and kickin' although I couldn't provide any nice freebies lately (I will again, SOON). In my OTHER life (yes, the real one) my husband and me have started looking for our first flat (or house if anything affordable comes up). As we live in a very touristy area the economy crisis didn't have any impact on the real estate market so far. Everything is awfully expensive and there's not that much around to buy anyway. So I spend most of my time going through newspapers and searching real estate homepages ... (Most of you have been there I guess ...)

I really enjoyed scrapping lately (as opposed to "designing") and I found a great page with adorable kits and weekly challenges:

For a challenge there I also tried my first "altered art" layout. Which is quite different from the type of layouts I normally do. See for yourself:



I promise to be back with some freebies soon!
