Another awarded My Digital Studio page!!!

I had such a hard time with this project. I wanted to use this kit, but had first hard time finding a picture that works with "be yourself" -theme.

Then I bumped into this picture and thought - well.. that works and decided to work on the "dreamy" style. All the pastels and soft colours but it was getting a bit too "soft" so I had to move the frame of the picture to the background and put a more "square" frame on the picture. I thought that brought a bit more structure to the page and well.. that is what and who I am - "whishywashysofty, but with a bit of an edge" :-)

The other project I did using the downloads from April was this "hometown" project.

Retired Colours My Digital Studio Challenge!

Here is my winning design on "retired colours" design for My Digital Studio challenge last week.

I have couple of tips, when using multiple states:

1) if you don't know the states well (shapes) and exact borders with other states - Get a map with the state locations and alignments with it's neighbors.

NOTE! Once you add the punch, you cannot see what state it is (as I realized AFTER I had added all punches). Instead add your state A, place it roughly where you want it, then add your state B and align it next to State A (you may want to zoom in your project to see better).

2) do NOT try to enlarge the size before you have aligned the states next to each other as you will not be able to resize them exactly the same individually. Instead, group them together and enlarge them AS A GROUP!!!

Once you have them to the size you want, then ungroup. Also some states may be shaped so that they "overlap" with it's neighbour. You may want to "lock" it to the background while you work on the neighboring state.

Date with Flat Stanley - part 2

Once we had visited the Parliament Hill and checked out all the statues - we walked to the Byward Market.

On the way there we saw the "castle" (Hotel Fairmont Château Laurier), the American Embassy and the locks on the canal (they had not yet filled the canal with water, when we walked by)

And we finished our date with - what else - BEAVERTAILS!!!

So, Flat Stanley (and these 4 pages) took me most of last week.
But I got them done and had them printed out in 12x12 pages. Next I have to mail the pages (and Stanley) back to the States - before the school year ends!

Date with Flat Stanley - part 1

what??
Well... if you don't know the story of Flat Stanley, please visit here

So I took Stanley to downtown Ottawa. Last time Stanley visited us, it was wintertime, so this time I tried to find some new things to do with him
