Fun new release this week; ScrapSimple Paper Templates-Edgies Biggie. They are fantastic for those final touches to your page.  You can clip papers to them for an added touch of accent or use your blending modes to give some oomph! I like to clip and blend!! Live dangerous even while scrapping!

I want to feature a product that Andrea has called ScrapSimple Paper Templates that go with her Crazy Retro Day kit! I had never seen this kind of template! I got to playing with Andrea’s Crazy Retro Day, making a page and wanted a different paper than what was in the kit.

Now the papers in the kit are so funky cool, but I needed the brilliant blue, with some circles!  So I grabbed the teal and cream papers in Andrea Crazy Retro Day and clipped them with the coordinating ScrapSimple Paper Templates! Oh yeah perfect! I love the effect and then added some of the cool elements in the kit, and a whole bunch of flowers, and oh I am loving the end results!  I used the wicked cool Paper Templates-Edges Biggie! and clipped the fun brown paper and played with different blends to pull the blues together on the top to go with the fun bottom papers!  I am an addict of layers, and when you have the phenomenal flowers like found in Andrea’s Crazy Retro Day Collection! I got layering and spinning and shadowing and the threw a few adorable leaves and love, love, love the cluster strip of flowers!

I  cut a circle in the cream paper and smudges some of the blue around the edge, and of course the burn tool! I like putting the photo under the paper, gives more depth!  Yep, that is me, way back in the day! Woo boy, that is the night before I joined the Air Force! Many, many years ago! Using the way back machine and digital scrapping to bring the past to look good with today’s awesome products! Thank you Andrea, for helping me make the 1980′s look good with all the wonderful designs and extras in your Crazy Retro Collection! There is so much in the collection, pop over to her store at Scrap Girls and browse! You will be glad you did!

Whoops, a heads up, to you designers out there,  both the ScrapSimple Paper Templates-Edges Biggie and the ScrapSimple Paper Templates are available with a Commerical License.

Hello to you! Anne (of the Alamo around digiland) and I am stepping in to shout out for Andrea Trump’s Designs over at the Scrap Girls! Andrea has the cutest set of templates out, and I had to play with them!  If you are a feline furr baby lover, then these are puuurrrrrrrrfect! I just had to say that! The templates are called: Paws and Claws for Felines! Now for those doing Scrap for Hire or other commercial uses, Andrea has these Paws and Claws for Felines template available for Commercial Use also. Please follow the ToU for her products.

I got to playing with the templates and also her Crazy Retro Day Collection and a few pictures of my cat; Lady Fluffypants.  When I opened the Collection, first thing I loved was the funkalicious papers! I mean they are just wonderful!  I feel head over heels with the patterns! I can imagine these papers for teen pages and just feel good memories!

I wanted to keep a girlie feel to the page, so I stayed with the pink/brown/lime green colors on my page from the Crazy Retro Day Collection.

Andrea’s elements all flow really well together, and I was enjoying the flairs and flowers!  Her stamping work on the scatter-type elements are the bomb.  I really think this is one of the best parts of digital scrapbooking.  In paper scraps, you mess up the stamp! growl at everyone in the house!!  But with digital, you can stamp last! I love sticking stamped looked elements on the lower pages for that final touch of  “oh YEAH, that looks good”~

My photos were real dark, so I had to lighten them a whole lot, but I knew I was gonna add a bit of color to them to help them blend with the chocolate browns in Andrea’s groovy papers. I lightened and then added above each photo, the brown paper from the Crazy Retro Collection, and clipped it to the photo (now I don’t merge them ever, cause that makes them go back to normal blend), and I used the COLOR blend mode and brought the opacity down to about 68%.  The eyes on the middle picture were lightened up too much, so I went back in with my burn tool. **warning** I love the burn tool, and have been known to overdose on it, so use at your own discretion**  I just did my kitty’s dark parts of the eyes, so they would pop a bit more.   I made the PINK lines from the outside of Andrea’s template! I love the PINK!

Here is my Frisky Feline, that is under the influence of catnip power! haha

Wait there is more!! Andrea has been busy as can be!

Take a look at her  special edition, professionally designed, two-page digital scrapbooking kits. The Super 7 Spreads kits! With each Super 7 Spread, you will receive two layered PSD files – the left-side and the right-side of the double-page layout. Just open the files, insert your photos, add your journaling, and you’re ready to go.  Andrea designed both the layout too!! Since the designs are separate, you get to play and add more or create a whole different look too!
