Pea Happy – Entry for Master of Scrap Competition

I decided to enter the Master of Scrap competition at Scrapaneers. There are 8 tournaments in all, 2 a week for four weeks, starting this week. Scrapaneers is a wonderful resource for digital scrapbookers. I have taken a number of courses through them and have learned so much and always come away with new ideas and creative inspiration.

I have submitted my entry for the Minimalist category and I am very pleased with how it came out. It is all about a clean, relaxed scrapbook layout. Not a lot of embellishments, but the ones you add are placed purposefully on the page.

Here is my layout called “Pea Happy”.

Love, love, love this picture with that happy little pea. My little man had spent a serious amount of time searching for the perfect pea pod. He finally found one with 3 peas in it and they were perfect for drawing faces on. So with Sharpie in hand (cause that is how we roll in our house, why give an 8 year old a washable marker when you can live on the edge with a Sharpie) he drew his faces. This one was by far the happiest pea in the bunch.

I only used 2 embellishments, the speech bubble from my Be Awesome kit and the paint splatter from my Possibilities kit. The paper is from my Be Awesome kit as well.

Wish me luck and I will keep you posted on my progress in the tournaments.

Happy Canada Day to all who are celebrating.

I hope you managed to get out and enjoy some festivities where ever you are. We took in our local Canada Day parade this morning and followed up with a lovely family lunch.

I LOVE this kit. I had such a great time creating this kit filled with patriotic colours. It is a versatile colour palette which can showcase your Canadian festivities, whether that is parades, cookouts, camping, backyard barbecues or Canada Day fireworks.

Hi there!

Here we are at the beginning of a wonderfully creative journey. I decided to take a chance and start my own digital scrapbook design business, and this is my very first blog post…ever! My hope is to share some of the tips and tricks I have learned along the way on documenting my family’s memories, and keep you up to date on everything happening at Loops & Swirls.

I am excited for this chapter of my story to begin. Hopefully my designs can help you document some of your stories.

I am so glad that you stopped by.
