This month’s colour palette instantly made me think “retro” and when I received a request for some hipster themed doodles I knew just what I wanted to create for June’s BYOC! Hip Hip Hipster is packed with vintage and retro inspired doodles (I had to explain to my kids what the cassette tapes, record player and typewriter doodles were!) and is on sale at 20% off all weekend!
Hi everyone, it’s Nicole (aka “Ink and Pixels”) again and I’m back with Inbox Inspiration #3 template challenge! It’s been such a blast seeing how everyone uses the templates each month.

This month’s inspiration came from a LOFT email I received. I liked the stacked pile of t-shirts on the side and thought it might be a fun take on the challenge. It feels circus-y to me. I think it’s perfect for the Cirque Du Soleil page that’s been on my to do list for a very looooong time (since 2010.. shhh!). So without further ado here is your challenge and chance to win $15.00 gift card to Kate Hadfield’s shop!

It’s Christa again, and “Welcome Back“! I hope you have enjoyed “Bent Shadows / Bent Photo Frames – Part 1“. As promised, I am back with Part 2 which will explore the “Bent Shadows” using CS3, Creating a Layer, and the Warp tool. With using the warp tool in CS3 or later version of Photoshop you have more versatility where you can bend corners etc. We are also going to use the burn & dodge tool too, just for added realism!) This time we will be creating a sticker.
As you will see from making a bended sticker, you can use the warp tool to bend the shadow easily to create the bent shadows for a photo as we did in part 1 without all the extra steps of Marquee or Custom shape tool. All you will need to do is move some of the nodes around and you are all set!
In the sticker portion since we are dealing with a circle. To make it easier, I will be using “time on a clock” so you know how to maneuver the warp tool, and the burning and dodge tools for the correct directions.
Are you ready? Let’s go!!! Continue reading

I’ve been having so much fun with this pocket/project life style scrapbooking, have you given it a try? I can’t get enough of these little journal and filler cards. I was working on a birthday page recently, and needed a few extra. I made these up mostly using Kate’s Bring on the Cake doodles. I showed them to her and she said we could share them here, with you all! There are a few 4×6, 3×4, and even a 4×4 for you instagram scrappers. Enjoy!

Welcome to my BIG iNSD blog post! There’s so much to tell you about today that I’m going to start with a quick run down of everything that’s going on this weekend:
With National Scrapbooking Day right around the corner I knew I wanted to create a new freebie for my Facebook page so when I was invited to take part in the first ever DigiScrap Parade I jumped at the chance to team up with some other designers! You can read more about this new event over on the DigiScrap Parade blog, and you can download these That’s Life doodles over on the Kate Hadfield Designs Facebook page!
If you don’t use Facebook, don’t worry! Both new and existing newsletter subscribers will also be getting this freebie this weekend! If you’d like to jump on the hop from here, the next stop is Sarah J Designs and you can find the masterlist of all the contributors over at the DigiScrap Parade blog. Happy hopping!
