I feel like I’m constantly working these days. Which is weird, because for the first time ever I have products designed ahead of schedule. But the work seems to just keep piling on. Yesterday I worked all day. I hardly left the computer at all. ScrapMatters is just bustling and its tough to keep up with it all. But I’m not complaining. I promise I’m not. My job rocks. And I get to take little breaks in the middle of the day to do “CT work”. I totally consider it work because I get paid in product, so I feel like I owe it to the designers to really work for them!
Like today – I did this LO for Molly. She’s got a rockin’ new kit out today called “Movie Night” and I love it!! I’ve been hanging on to these pics forever because I never had a kit that was just right for them!!
Yesterday, Minna released as seriously cute kit called “Winter Forrest” that I had a blast playing with.
If it seems like all I’m scrapping these days are Disney pics, its because I am!! haha It’s my goal to totally finish scrapping my Jan. ’07 Disneyland trip BEFORE we go back to Disneyland again at the end of February. I have SOOO many photos of Disneyland trips to scrap, it would be nice to know that at least ONE of them is 100% done. I know it seems silly that I haven’t finished a trip we took in ’07!! But – that’s life!!! I have a hard time scrapping in order and getting a whole trip completed. But I’m determined to get this one done. I can see the light! So, I’ve been scrapping the last little batch of pics from that trip a LOT lately!!
At the daytime Speed Scrap yesterday I did one of my new FAVORITE pages. Every once in a while I’ll do a page that I’m so happy with I’ll keep opening it up to look at it throughout the day. Yes I’m a dork.
I had a few people ask me how I did the background. In the kit I used (“I’m a Fanpire – Revamped” by Tangie Baxter) there is this really cool black and grey cloud/sky paper, and I just enlarged my photo to the height of the paper and turned the blending mode of the photo to “Overlay”. That’s it!! It just happened to work out beautifully. I was actually surprised how great it looked when I did it. One of those happy accidents!
There was 1 page from this trip I did a long while back (for a CT I’m no longer on) that I just did not love. Sometimes those pages happen. For that reason I never did print it. I tagged it as needing a makeover. I finally took the photos from that page, combined ’em with a few other “on our way” pictures and made a new page that I like a lot more.
Ok I know it seems like I did a gazillion pages in the last 24 hours, and you’re probably thinking “DUH BRITT! Thats why you were so busy!” But I did all the Mira Design pages a while ago when she first gave us the kit to play with. But yeah – I guess I did scrap a lot. Again – I’m not complaining. I love my work. It makes me happy.
I have to have a computer break. I’ll go watch our Thursday shows (The Office and 30 Rock) with my guy. Then I’ll finish getting everything ready for tomorrow. I know – its 9:00, how am I not ready yet?! haha
SEE YA TOMORROW!
You scrap the cutest pages. I love them- especially the winter forest one…I might just have to go snag that kit and then totally copy your cute page. 🙂
Wow great pages, Britt I love them all! You are so talented. I can’t wait to see what you have released this week.
Oh, oh, oh! I picked up church ball in the video store one time! Really!!! Ok, now back to reading the rest of the post!
Awww your LO are so cute! Looks like so much fun! Great job.And you very hard, and we all appreciate so very much! Cause your kits and LO are totally awesome!
Wow! You did the costuming for church ball? My dh LOVES that movie–of course he does own that “church basketball–the only brawl that begins with prayer” T-shirt.
LOVE your LO’s!
Keep up the Disney pages. You inspire me to complete the 10+ trips I’m still trying to finish (and I just got home from my latest one last week). I love all your pages. You’re one of my FAV designers/scrappers (Melissa being another…I subscribe to the DIS digi page posting but never post any more…but I love seeing everything you both do).
