I digiscrapping and my favorite place to scrap online has been with my friends at Deco-Pages! I was a member Creative Team for 4 1/2 years and had the opportunity to make LOs for all the wonderful designers at Deco-Pages. The site is now closed and I miss it so VERY much!

I am taking a break from my digital scrapping...but to prevent withdrawal symptoms, I am on two Creative Teams for now! Check out their blogs and watch here for my layouts with their great kits!

Creating Today with Lacy Days by Ice Princess Scrapz



Love this photo of DH's mother and father taken when they were newly weds. Gotta love the tipped hats of the service men back then!

Recently scanned photos of my DH's mother...shown here are the years 1922-1952. The colored one in the center is my favorite.

A Few Deco-Pages Challenge LOs

Decided to post a few of my Deco-Pages Challenge LOs...these are so fun to do!

Template Challenge - This LO was chosen as Layout of the Day!



Wasn't sure I was going to do this challenge this month, but when I saw the photos for electronic sharing of Reese's studio session I knew I wanted to use them in this template!

Quote Challenge



Pretty simple LO...no elements seem to work so I just made up this word art of the quote...that was fun to do. Used a technique I learned at a paper scrapping retreat and over wrote on top of the word SMILE. Used a mask on the photo to add dots to the page. Didn't have time to search for a brown background paper, so I made this one using a filter to make more dots for the LO! Simple LO but fun!

Font Challenge - Use provided font in a LO...this month's font was Buttons and Patches



I can make LOs using the previews of Reese's studio picture...they are great online but can't be printed as the resolution is very low.

Brag Book (4x6 pages that can be printed like a picture) Challenge - Use the word Thanks in the LO!

I have always adored this picture of Avery with her eyes closed...came across it again while looking for Thanks pics....and here my brag book page! Didn't add any elements this time.

Material Girl Challenge - One photo, 2 papers, 5 elements



Lyric Challenge - LO of Doggies!



From Jennifer's blog...perfect pics for the Challenge...notice the change in the lyrics of the song as Sadie came from Craig's List!

Here's last months Lyrice Challenge - couldn't scrap just one baby...had to do all three!




Color Challenge - Use a certain color palette to make 5 LOs...Club members get a Starter kit free which I generally use for my Color Challenge LOs. Make 3 LOs and you get an addition to the kit...make 5 and get another reward addition to the kit! Here's two of my 5 LOs with the kit.






Heritage Challenge - Photo with more than 3 people and must name them all and give info about the photo.
