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!
