Creations Inspired By Jessica Sprague NWR Class

I just finished my first true digital scrapbooking class...Jessica Sprague's NWR. I have been self-teaching myself for the nearly two years, since I took an Epson Digital Design Class at a CK convention. I didn't feel like I retained much in that class...but I know I am retaining Jessica's much better! Here are some of my LO's that were inspired by her NWR Lessons:

Credits: Everything I used was from:
-Papers: a class I took at CK Convention from Epson-They gave us a disk full of kits they had created.
-Tag: It is the birdhouse embellishment from Scrap Girls Eternal Love Kit
-Brush: It is the reach brush from twopeasinabucket.com 's Pink October Kit



Credits: All of this is from an exclusive kit www.sweetshoppedesigns.com donated to the class called Carnival.

Credits: The papers on the hearts are from a kit I got for an Epson digi design class I took at a CK convention, the Alpha letters and green striped background paper are from Shabby Princess, the blue paper are from the SweetShoppeDesign Carnival Kit, the tag is made from trishjones_crushbubbles_paper9, and the paper curls are from KPertiet_PaperRevealNo2_2 both can be found on Designer Digitals website. Oh, also the sparkle brush was one in default brushes and the brush across the bottom is... from Jason Gaylor's Valentine Brush Set.


Credits: I used the KPertiet_PaperRevealNo2_2 download from our lesson to make the frame-and the rest is from the fantastic SweetShoppeDesign Carnival Kit we got, except for the swirls. They are from ShabbyPrincess.com's Holiday Magic free download. I changed their color...but otherwise they are the same.


Credits: This is my layout for Lesson 2. I changed the Hue and Saturation of the background color, because the darker red drowned out the photos I really wanted to use. But I used one of the stripes in the striped paper as a guide for the new background color. Here is what was used from the lesson: JSprague_grungeFrame1, KPertiet_CottonEaster-red, KPertiet_GraphicSunPrintsOV-4a, KPertiet_GraphNotepaper, KPertiet_KingMePaper-6, KPertiet_StickPinzRndTag, JSprague_4-squareTemplate, and Asman Font from dafont.com.


Credits: Everything for this LO came in Lesson 4, here is what we used: 07, MCO_BeautifulJourney02, MCO_ScallopedPaperMask, MCO_BohoFlourishes03, MCO_Topper, CAD_Grungy_Photoshop_7_0_Brush_by_in_vogue, KPertiet_SandedOverlay, JSprague_DauphinAlpha, Leora_ApronStrings2_pldlabel, JHE_TwilledPhrases_blank.

Welcome to blogging! I find that blogging helps me focus on the creative projects I'm trying to do, I figure that if I want to blog about something interesting, I have to DO something interesting!

Your layouts look great! Isn't it fun to see how different they all turned out?
