Title: Excited and Squealing
Created by Kate Mason
Kate Mason is an amazing scrapbook artist. Her layouts are a breath of fresh air. Very, very different approach to scrapbooking. I must have spent hours browsing through her blog. I love this particular layout! I’m so tempted to hug these kids to death! haha
Love it!
Do you want to own your very own D60? Now’s your chance! All you have to do is join Creating Keepsakes’ contest. Entries due by 15 July 2008!
Wow—imagine the pictures you could take with the Nikon D60. At just over 16 ounces, it’s small but packed with powerhouse features.
You get extraordinary 10.2 megapixel picture quality, a NIKKON 18-55mm lens, fast startup, split-second shutter response, continuous shooting, easy operation, intuitive controls, 8 automatic shooting modes, in-camera image editing, a 2.5-inch LCD monitor, image optimization, an advanced HELP menu system and more. You’ll think you’ve died and gone to scrapbooker’s heaven!
Official rules can be found HERE.
Here are my top 10 scrapbooking products of all times.
1) Glue dots — I love, love them! They are perfect for adhering small things especially hand cut letters or little embellishments!
2) Stackable Paper Trays — helps me see what cardstocks I’ve got
3) Basic Grey Patterned Papers — I love, love the patterned papers of Basic Grey. They’re so elegant. Love it!
4) White Uni-Ball Impact Pen — want to make an impact on your journalling? A white pen is handy and improves your layouts. Takes it to the next level! The number of scrappers in my e-group who have purchased this baby is amazing!
5) Paper Trimmer - what would I do without a paper trimmer? Really! Seriously?!?
