Today’s question: What’s your favorite holiday goodie to make and share?

Thefoodwecravesm

Can you believe it?  This is my very first scraplift!  I got an e-mail asking for people to lift layouts by Marci Lambert, the founder of Layout-a-Day at Two Peas in honor of her birthday.  I’ve never scraplifted, for the same reason that I don’t use sketches.  I have a lot of trouble following somebody else’s design sense.  But, I have always loved this one layout by Marci.  So, here is my interpretation.  It’s 100% digital.  I had a lot of fun creating the background (though it did end up more pink than I had originally intended) and the journaling cards. 

And, I’ve discovered why people do digi (well, one of the reasons).  I have houseguests right now and all my scrapbook stuff is packed away, but I was able to complete this layout quickly and quietly on my laptop.

Now, for the link: International Quilt Festival: Houston, TX 2007

It’s a video report from the Houston Quilt Festival and my quilt is featured!  Well, featured may be a bit strong, but it’s one of the very few quilts that is shown.  It flashes by with my name across it.  Very cool!  I didn’t take any pictures of the quilt before I shipped it off (finished it moments before the post office was closing), but when it comes home, I’ll be sure to share.

  • I’ve just learned to do digi, and I love it, too! Can’t believe how much fun it is, and it’s perfect for people like me who can’t decide and like to move things around and resize a lot before coming up with the final layout.

  • You did a great job scrap lifting Marci’s layout. I have never scrap lifted before either. I just never plan ahead, kinda fly by the seat of my pants gal…
    Happy Holidays!
