FREE Sketch Wednesday #24

Hello Scrapbookers,

With so many celebrations I am once again having trouble choosing the 'special' photographs. They all tell a story or I just like how they look. This is a layout that I will be making into a double layout. I am just going to duplicate this sketch on a second page but will include more journaling in the area where the title information is located on this sketch. Enjoy!

FREE Sketch Wednesday #23

Hello Scrapbookers,

Usually I design my sketches with either all small photographs or all large photographs so in my latest projects I have been playing more with mixing the sizes of photographs where the larger photographs give an overall story of the moment and smaller photos that tell some of the background stories. Enjoy!

FREE SVG Monday: Snow

Hello crafters,

Everywhere I look there are piles of snow. It finally warmed up today - 26 degrees - so some of the snow melted but it did not make much of a difference for the huge piles of snow that has accululated over the major snow we've been having. I finally took the kids to play in the snow and I plan to use today's free SVG to add to my project. I will show you how I prepare mine tomorrow as well as some of my quick and easy crafting tips.

FREE Sketch Wednesday #22

Hello Scrapbookers,
Sometimes when I am trying to complete a project quickly there is a particular layout sketch that I use. I am sharing it with you today. It is not complicated. It is rather simple to duplicate. However, I always end up creating something completely different. I change the orientation, the embellishment, the style. It may be plain or I go totally mad and use various distress techniques to make a one of a kind creation. Enjoy!



Rowena's Quick & Easy Crafting Tip

You have heard me say it before, and it is my crafting tip for today. Over the past few months hopefully you have had the opportunity to be with your family and friends to celebrate the holiday season and the new year. So, let those memories feed your creativity and the possibilities will be endless. You may even surprise yourself. 

I am happy for all of you you follow and support me. I feel very blessed that what I do is creative enough that you keep coming back.

FREE SVG Monday: Reindeer

Hello crafters,

While driving a few days ago a deer ran right across the street I was driving on. I have seen deer before but never that up close and I had heard stories of the damage they can cause to a vehicle so I was a little shaken up. Well, I could not get the that deer out of my head. Then inspiration "hit" me! I should design a deer for this week's SVG file but not just any deer - Rudolf the red nosed reindeer. But how would I figure out what he looked like.

Well...since Christmas was over I saw him taking a walk around in the snow in my back yard and as an avid scrapbooker of course I had my camera with me and I just happened to get a photo of him right before he could run off as you can see below.

This SVG would look absolutely awesome on a scrapbook page.

Rowena's Quick & Easy Crafting Tips

  For dimension and added interest use dimensionals to pop up the antlers instead of just adhering it it with a non-dimensional adhesive.

  You will definitely not be able to add real snow to your projects however, you can make your own snow by tearing some white paper. Tear a set of paper to whatever size you need for your project then place the reindeer in between the two pieces of paper and presto - instant snow!

  According to the size of your project you can cut this SVG at different sizes and have a family of reindeer.

  Use alcohol ink or permanent markers to color your bling, or pearls as in this case, as one way to add the eyes and nose.

As always, remember to let your memories feed your creativity™.
