SSD Output

I'm trying to pick up on the SSD Challenges again, since I shop on their page so much. I've done a couple of layouts, but only 1 for a valid challenge. As the Feb challenges roll out, I'll probably work up a bit more. I'm also trying to get into doing some at A5D, and hopefully that'll cut down on some of my scrapbooking supplies cost. :p



This is a scraplift I did for the Feb TOTM challenge. I used Atomic Bounce by Melissa Bennett as the primary kit for the layout. Recently, I've liked doing monochrome or duotone photos and that's what I did again, with some selective coloring of our vodka medley drink. The photos are of my friend, Lovely, and myself goofing off while having a drink at The Clinic. The drink wasn't so spectacular, but I was able to finish one off, and also my vodka pineapple drink.



Here's another set using duotone photos of myself and my little brother, Lex. It's so much fun playing with him and taking photos because of the faces he makes. LOL. This one uses Eva Kipler's Getting Fresh. I love the fruity color palette! It's perfect for fun pictures such as these.

Apart from this, I picked up a couple of kits from Flergs. She's having an anniversary sale at Scrapbook Graphics, and you really ought to pick up some of her kits. She's an awesome designer! I got myself 17 Cherry Lane, which is a collab with Tangie Baxter, and Victorian Strawberry, a collab with Kate Winiecki.

Can't wait to play with these goodies!

It's Sweet Shoppe Designs' Anniversary Sale and I've blown a hole in my pocket.

Oh yes, I totally have. About the end of last year, I've told myself that I'm done shopping at Sweet Shoppe Designs, not for any bad reason about it--I think that store is super and all the designs are just awesome. It's just that between October (when I got into digis-scrapping) and December, I've spent the equivalent of a full month of my salary on that store. -_-;; Talk about over-spending.

But!!!

It's the sale and I couldn't help it! Dani Mogstad (the most awesome designer ever ever ever) has two gorgeous kits that I just had to have. Not to mention the couple of kits by Eva Kipler, Zoe Pearn and Misty Cato, plus the hybrid templates from Heather Roselli... oh the list just goes on and on. I admit it: I'm an SSD addict. Even more so than I'm addicted to A5D and SPD.

Here's a couple of my latest purchases to enable you. Go and get it now! :p



This kit is way too awesome. I love the colors and the groovy papers! It's a good thing I'm not done with my Valentine projects yet so I still have a few pages to scrap with this kit.



I'm so putting my little chocolate baggies to give away in these cute little packages! Awesome design and I love the colors of the kits used for these bags. (Incidentally, I bought the chocolate themed kit as well LOL!)



Penny Springmann's resources are always must-haves on my list. Even though I have tons of overlays from many other designers, I always end up using hers for aging my papers and photos. Amazing stuff, you gotta grab this one coz the combo pack is only available for a week!

I had a couple more items to get after this. In all, I got about 10 kits, 3 hybrid projects and 2 more templates/overlays. I just go overboard when shopping at this place. :D
