Gotta Love the Pink!

I LOVE pink!! LOL Here are 2 new layouts for you. Great for the young lady in the family!

These layouts are sized 1450x1100. I can size them down for anyone who needs the minima size.

Learning!

Well, I tried a larger size layout today. I learned that some layouts need to be 14.5x11. I am thinking that is if they are not on a minima layout to begin with, or something like that. I am going to try the large layout on my test blog and see what happens as the smaller sizes have been working just fine for my blogs. Not sure what is up with that. Can anyone help me figure that out?

Here is the new larger sized layout. It was created for Lou. :O)

Wishing everyone a Merry and Blessed Christmas!

2009!

Here is my first 'New Year's' layout. I hope you like it! I used: the roses and bow from 'Cabernet Punch' by Irene Alexeeva and the champaigne glasses from: SKF~Scrap Set11. All the rest I created.

Inspired by Denise

I was thinking of my friend, Denise...one of the most important people in my life, and I started creating this new layout. It just came out. LOL

I always think of warm, rich, deep and vibrant colors when I think of Denise. She loves summer but, since it is fall and heading into winter, I put a touch of 'cool' in it. So, there yeah have it.

New

Here is another new layout, inspired by a wonderful lady, my friend, Debbie.

If you would like to use this layout...just drop me a note.

Testing and results

Good Morning...I have been working on sizing issues for my layouts. I think, I think, I have it figured out. Now, I just have to find out what the code is for headers. Can anyone help with that?

I also did a layout for testing purposes and I really liked it! lol So, here it is:

It looks really good on the test blog!! If you would like this layout, just drop me an email.

Silver N Gold Garden

I really like the way this new layout looks! These previews do not do justice to the layouts and especially this one! It just shimmers!
I created it using brushes, a gradient that I made and paper I made. The only other element was a fav tube of mine, a rose tube. I am not sure who the original artist or tuber is. I colored it and added it to the new layout.
If you are interested in using it, just drop me an email and I will send it your way!

I used an awesome scrap kit but, I have no clue who the creator of it is! I have had it a while and have no information on it. It is amazing and one of my favorites though! If it is yours or you recognize it, please contact me so that I can give credit! The background paper was created by me.

This is my newest layout: PinkNPeach

NEW Oceans Of Fall

I am becoming so addicted to creating these layouts! LOL It's so much fun!
Here is the new layout...

If you are interested in using this layout, please leave me a message and your contact information.

The Metallic Ribbon, Buttons and Jewel Tone Bow were created by Melissa of Sentimental Style. You can find her absolutely gorgeous work here: http://sentimentalstyle.blogspot.com/ She is one of my all time favorite artists and has stunning creations on her blog! Be sure to check her out.

The Floral Corner was created by: LesleyB at: http://digikeepsake.blogspot.com/ I am a HUGE fan of her work!

Creme Bow (colorized by me) were created by artists unknown to me. If you are the creator, please contact me so that I can give you credit!

The Edging, Background and Beads were created by me. I called it 'Oceans Of Fall' just because of the colors. I thought it looked like colors of a calm ocean at Autumn time...with the floral fall corner and gold metallic ribbon. Anyway, that is just the name that came to me. lol Hope you like it!
