Almost here...

2011 is fast approaching. This year I have a couple of goals I want to accomplish.
Here's what I got so far....

- Create Aida's 2011 Scrapbook album - double page layouts, one side a normal layout, the other side a big photo with a quote/thought

- Complete Project 365 for 2011 and make it into a mini album

- Learn even more about photography and my camera

- Make a new signature for 2011...something more funky for posting in the forums

And that's all I can remember...it wasn't a long list but there was one more that I know I have forgotten...ugh!
Hate when that happens..lol!

Anywho....I have a couple of pages to share with you and at the bottom I put together a little something as a "thank you" for looking.

These first three pages were made using 3 kits from the Fresh Fruit at Scrap Orchard.....

Blog Blitz

Welcome to the Vera Lim Blog Blitz!!! I have never done anything like this...very excited!...soo if I miss something I apologize! Though..I should not because I have read and re-read my post about a million times..lol! Soo..enough of my mindless chatter and on to the goods.... 

Wild & Beautiful is a digital scrapbooking kit by Vera Lim. We were given this kit to "play with" for the blog blitz. Just looking at the preview I fell in love with it....the soft colors to those perfectly ruffled flowers... I did not know where I start first. She even includes some lovely shadowed versions of the elements (such as the ribbons and flowers). I did not use them on my page...only because I am an extreme "want-to-do-it-myself" kind of person..lol!..yeah! a little OCD...but if I had to do a page in under an hour's time I would definitely have used the elements that are already shadowed.

I could see myself playing with the papers in this kit with some of my other scrap supplies (still using some of the kit's elements) just to mix it up a bit. The papers themselves are a work of art. So let me shush now...you can have a look for yourself and a peek at my page that I made....

This review was not influenced by a free kit - just in case you (or the FTC) were worried about this detail.
