Pictureless Layout - Spring

I created this layout today for a challenge at SugarHillco but realized later that the kit I used was misfiled. It is by one of my favorite digital scrapbook kit designers named Cinza Loosemoore.  She is actually over at OScrap. So I have moved this file to its rightful folder. And posted my layout here instead.


I used the My Sunshine Kit.  Here is the preview.


I hope you will go over and check out her stuff. Its truly amazing!

Been doing so much promo...

that I haven't had a chance to post on my own blog for my own pleasure but i have to share this.  It's so exciting.

I have been playing in PSP and I found a great way to finish off a layout.  I had heard about using a soft focus on a duplicate layer of your final page which lead me to this.

I duplicated my final layout
double clicked on the top layer to open the layer properties dialogue box
changed blend mode to SOFT LIGHT
Then within that same dialogue box I clicked on LAYER STYLES
click INNER GLOW and leave "layer" also chosen.
Click OK
Merge layers

Here is my before and after so you can see the difference in the layout.  I created this layout with inner Beauty by kat's Creations. The Preview for the kit is below.  You can find Kat's kits at Polka Dot Plum.

AFTER


Isn't that just fabulous1  The layout comes alive.  I like this effect better than my usual Unsharp Mask.
Hope you liked this too!

If you know Lauren Grier...

you know she is a wonderfully creative digital scrapbook kit designer.  But did you know that Lauren is now hospitalized with blood clots in her abdomen? Apparently, they are quite large and she is in an extreme amount of pain.  She is a single mother of a young boy, as well.  The community over at Sweet Shoppe Designs is brainstorming about ways to help raise money for La (Lauren) so she can pay her bills while she is hospitalized.

There is an effort to raise money over in the forums at the Sweet Shoppe but really the best way to help, if you are so inclined, is to shop Lauren's personal store. Please consider perusing Lauren's store and making a purchase to help her during this uncertain time. 

The Digital Scrapbook community seems large but in a sense we are a microcosm of the larger world.  I know I have never met any of you but that does not lessen the friendships, concern and committment I have to this community.  I know each one of us will do what we can whether that is a personal email, a private PM, a forum post, a blog post, a kit purchase or continued prayers, it all adds up to cosmic and spiritual strength heading La's way.

Thanks for reading this and please prayer for La and her family.

Here are some wonderful kits I own of La's. I already have a cart filled at Lauren Grier Designs for purchase tomorrow.

Kat's got another sweet kit!

This one is called Sweet Baby and boy is it sweet... or girl!  This baby kit fits either gender. Isn't that nice!
Newly releasedover at Polka Dot Plum.


Here is a little inspiration for you.  This is my youngest who is gigantic and FIVE now. But wasn't he a cutie back then.  I mean, he is still cute but now he is gigantic cute.


I love all these little elements tucked under the baby. I mean, lets face it, they are everywhere when the babies are little.  No pacifiers at my house anymore.  *sniff*

This layout was created with the help of Kat's new template pack.  You can find them over at Polka Dot Plum also.  Both the kit and templates are 30% off right now.  Go check them out!

Kat's Creations is having a Promo Call
