Fort Wilderness Freebie

Since Misty has a new awesome kit being released, "Fort Wilderness" I have decided to offer you a quickpage freebie. You can click on the QP preview to download.

Ready to camp at "Fort Wilderness"?????

This week, Misty O'Brien is debuting a new kit, Fort Wilderness. Its theme is the outdoors and camping but has a color palette so versatile the kit can be used all year long. This kit is a steal at just $3.99 for 21 colorful textured papers and 67 vibrant elements.

and since, not everyone uses an alpha, she's keeping her alpha pack separate. This pack includes a full felt alpha with carboard trim in 3 colors for just $1.99.

Misty has also created Photoshop and Elements coordinating glitter styles. There are even glitter sheets for use in other programs! Only $1.99

and to complete the Fort Wilderness essentials, pick up her new textured photo masks, just $2.00 in the Gingerscraps store.

Also, Misty is also offering a bundle that includes all of these new Fort Wilderness Products for
just $6.99

So head over to Misty's store at Gingerscraps today and pick up Fort Wilderness :)

Also, head on over to Misty's blog cuz she just might have a freebie for you.

Here are some really cool textures.. these are 12x12 @ 300 dpi and are the very textures that Mandy uses to make her papers... you open them up, layer a color above and play around with your blend modes and opacity. Easy as pie!! They are of course a CU item. Click HERE and it will take you to Mandy's store.

Scrapping Survivor LO's

I am finally getting a chance to post a couple of LO's I have completed for Scrapping Survivor. Here is the LO I made for the Immunity Challenge. We had to scrap about what our 10 survival items would be. The Sun in the LO is from Misty O'Brien's Fort Wilderness kit which will be releasing soon. The remainder of the LO I used the collab by the Gingerscraps Design Team called A Day In Paradise.
The next LO is for the week two challenge which we needed to scraplift a LO from the week one challenge and this is what I came up with. I was drawn to the simplicity this LO and the use of white space and the blended photo. The LO was done by TBOG;
