I’m trying something new with my pages, and it’s the color black.

I love using black backgrounds because elements and pictures literally pop out from the dark background, especially when using bright colored elements.

Here are some attempts at using a black background. Thanks for looking :)

I told myself I should be scrapping more since I’ve not been doing anything lately… and so I did yesterday… and today… I figured, since I have some kits that I have never used to create LO’s, why not do it now… :) Before I share my layouts, Tracy of LemonandMint has some tutorials about digiscrapping, so head on over to her blog and feast on these tutorials and her wonderful layouts! And now, for the layouts :)

First, a layout for my Goddaughter Serine.
This was created using the Dear Diary Kit at SSD.

Next, is “All Grown Up” showing pictures of my sister-in-law and her daughter Eana. This layout utilized the Delicate kit from ES. Brown round stitching from GG Digital Design’s Just for Mom Kit, yellow round stitching from Dani Mogstad’s Imperfect Circle Stiches.

A fun layout from the Fling kit from ES. Stitches from Zoe Pearn’s All Stitched Up, Alpha beads from Becki Kress @ ES, Colored dots and arrow from Colors of Spring by Lauraskathi, “Summer’s Coming” overlay from Kirsty
