November Use It All at MyMemories

This month’s ScrapChat Designs Use It All Challenge features Tears of Joy, a collection created for those moments that bring tears for all the right reasons. Weddings, baby showers, celebrations, proud moments, and those little pieces of life that simply make your heart full all fit beautifully with this collection.

For my layout, I wanted to document a much quieter kind of joy. Sitting on my back porch and watching the sun set off to the west is something simple, but it’s a view and a feeling I want to remember for a very long time.

One technique I used on this page was cutting patterned papers into slim strips. If you have patterns you love but they feel a little stronger than what you normally use, smaller strips let you bring in the color and pattern without letting them take over the page.

You can also change the look of a pattern simply by rotating the paper 90 degrees. Stripes, directional prints, and many geometric designs can suddenly feel completely different with one quick turn.

I also used the frame beneath the photo as an accent rather than using it as an actual frame. Little changes like that are an easy way to get more mileage from the pieces in your stash.

Ready to play along? Visit the ScrapChat Designs forum at MyMemories for all the November Use It All details, download the Use It All sampler, create your layout, and come back to share what you made. I always love seeing how differently everyone uses the same set of pieces.

Let’s welcome QueenBrat Digital Designs as this week’s Featured Designer! Q&A With The Designer: QueenBrat Digital Designs What is the biggest life lesson you have learned? Life teaches us lots of lessons.  In my 62 years I've learned a lot of life lessons the hard way.  The past few months has taught me another life lesson and really made me think about life and the end of life.  Bad, bad me I had skipped my mammogram the past few years and yes, I knew better.  I've already had cysts removed once and was supposed to be keeping a closer watch.  In August I found more than just a cyst...I found a lump that wasn't squishy.  So I've spent the past few months undergoing mammograms, ultrasounds, and then a biopsy.  I thank the good Lord that the biopsy came back a benign tumor.  I do realize how lucky I am.  And I've learned that if I want to be around for my beautiful grandkids I MUST take care of my health.  Get your mammograms ladies! What is your favorite holiday? We are coming upon my favorite holiday.  I love Christmas!  I love the lights and decorations and music, but most of all I love what it represents....the birth of Jesus Christ! If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be? I would love to travel back in time before I lost my dad, my son, and my grandparents and spend the day with them. Do you collect anything? I collect Elvis Presley Memorabilia.  I have a good size collection that includes original albums, photos, books, movies, collectors cards, a telephone, clocks, an original concert poster, an Elvis Cabbage Patch Doll, Christmas ornaments, and tons more.  My grandmother was a big fan and got me hooked at a very young age. Your favorite toy as a child was? My favorite toy as a child was a stuffed gray dog with white floppy ears that I called "Fatty".  He lost an ear and I was totally heartbroken so mom played doctor and cut his long floppy ear in half and made him two ears out of the one.  I was happy again!  Amazing the things you remember.  I was about 6 at the time To finish off we would love to share some of QueenBrat Digital Designs favorite layouts: Layout from A Harvest of Memories Layout from Halloween Rave Layout from Patchwork Fall Layout from Grateful Layout from A Hunting I Will Go Spend $20 or more and receive this kit from QueenBrat Digital Designs for free!

Let’s welcome Scrapbookcrazy Creations as this week’s Featured Designer! Q&A With The Designer: Scrapbookcrazy Creations Are you a morning person or a night owl? I am not a morning person, it takes me ages to be able to function in the morning. At night  I have the most energy and focus and when I get involved in something I could stay awake all night. Where do you call home? I live on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria Australia. We have lived here for 16 years but I have been holidaying here since I was 2 years old. It is so nice going to sleep with the sound of the waves and to hear fog horns during Winter. You guessed it I live at the beach and have always been with 2 blocks of the beach. Aside from the necessities, what one thing could you not go a day without? I could not go a day without nice smooth toilet paper and my moccona morning coffee. If you could own ANY animal as a pet, what would it be? I would love to own either an elephant or a Giraffe. However, visiting them at the zoo is the next best thing. One day I hope to them in their natural environment. What is your biggest fear? My biggest fear is snakes. I loath them, just a picture of one makes my flesh crawl and my heart pound.
