Layout by Karen: “I used most of the stuff as is, but duplicated the wordart a few times (and varied the blending each time) and cut little hearts out of Kristen’s paper and recolored it to match the pink in Danielle’s word art.”

I wanted to share some great find from around digiland this week:
If you would like these fun cupcake wrappers and toppers, it’s really easy and it helps HAITI (you choose the charity and the amount)! Make sure you read FOR THE LOVE OF HAITI if you haven’t yet.

P.S. Sharon S. is the random winner from our post yesterday, she won a $10 GC to Vinnie’s store and this is what she had to say about Vinnie’s stuff: “I love Vinnie’s photo masks, especially Grunge Floral Masks 01! I’m really thinking of making a purchase today!” Check your inbox Sharon.




















Layout by Karen: I recolored the paper, cut up the stitches and resized the flowers and branches a few times…
Layout by Jacki: To achieve a darker look to my LO I used ‘linear dodge’ and ‘hard light’ on some of the flowers and the alpha. I also darkened some flowers, ‘burned’ the edge of the paper and darkened the stitching a bit too. Font is Pea XOXO from Karen.
Layout by Janet: I selected a small part of the leaves and enlarged them to create the flower stems. I extracted the leaves from the branch element and added them to my flowers.
