I'm OUTTA here!!

What's that?? I'm outta here?? Yes, ma'am. Indeed I am, heading out on vacation until after the 4th of July weekend. It's been tradition since we've been married to take this week off and head up to the lake for a whole LOT of NOTHING!! HA HA!! You can relate right? Here's a layout of last years vacation favorites!

But before I go, I do have a few little somethings for you today.

First of all, I've a set of templates out called "Strips n' Pieces" Templates. Check out below for inspiration using these templates. And secondly, I have a set of actions out today.

AND I have a action that I have for you today!! This is SO AWESOME and to tell you the truth, I use it on every single layout that I do. What this includes is (2)two actions that you will use for almost EVERY layout. 1) Web Version - that will flatten your layout, resize to a web size 600x600px, and have sharpening to brighten your layout. 2) Print Version - will flatten your layout, then run a sharpening to brighten all of your pictures and elements for a print view. After you run this action all that's left is saving your document. Believe me this is going to cut down on SO much of your time.

Resizing Action by Sahlin Studio:

Everyone have a GREAT GREAT holiday over the 4'th of July. For those of you that are international, you have a wonderful weekend. I will be back after the holiday!!

Happy scrapping!!

My favorite STAMPED ALPHA

ScrapMatters designers have decided to get together to do a set of Mystery Mix Grab Bags. What exactly does this mean for you?? Well, it means that for only $5, you receive 4 designers worth of stuff. From full kits, to alphas, to element packs, to templates... you name it, we've stocked it full!! Cool huh??

And, I got something big for you as well! Did any of you start with paper scrapbooking? Well, I did. My FAVORITE technique when I paper-scrapped was stamping with paint! So new today, I have my very own digital version of my FAVORITE foam stamped alpha! And the best part-this is SO much faster than ACTUALLY stamping your pages... HAHA Well... and no cleaning when you are done with them either!

Foam Stamp Alpha - White

Foam Stamp Alpha - Black Foam Stamp Alpha - Combination

Foam Stamp Alpha - Sorbet

Inspiration
These are layouts using the Foam Stamps, some of these layouts are using the grab bag.
But I will re-post which ones that are using it further below! Aren't they GREAT??

Mystery Mix June Grab Bag No. 2

YOUR FREEBIE!! You do want it don't you? Well, here it is. They are foam stamped quotes that go match the foam stamped alpha collections (below). Now you can journal up a page a little more uniquely, and be creative when telling your story!! Hope you enjoy!!

Well, I'm heading up to the lake. Hoping for 80 degree and sunny, for the first time at the beach.
See you in the funnies! Happy scrapping!

Official Summer Break

Yes, it is officially summer vacation! I'm still trying to decide if that's a good thing or not! HAHA!! So far no big sibling fights, but its only 9am.

Just wanted to share some layouts that I've been doing.

I'll start with my score of Disney layouts. This one I made for either the front cover or the front inside page of my Disney book. I haven't decided.
