My June Wallpaper

2009-06-02T10:59:00.000-07:00

I was deleting some files in my photobucket account when I accidentally removed my existing blog layout. And at that time too, I just finished changing my friendster look. So I decided that instead of uploading again my previous background, I will use my June wallpaper. I guess it was time for a “new” look.

My thanks to Chez Nanine for the heart-shaped alphas…

I’ve Got a “New Look”…

2009-03-11T15:16:00.000-07:00

A certain Mike and Tycie Doyle left a comment in my blog to visit a site that caters to free background layouts and it’s called Scrap your blog with Scrappin Blogs. I’ve tried several layouts and finally I found something to my liking, thus the “new look”. My new layout was made by Debra Anderson @ www.godigitalscrapbooking.com.

The site doesn’t offer matching header and so I had to find ways to create one. The additional buttons and flowers I used came from Joni Gray’s My Desktop Kit.

So now, there are three sites that I found that offers free background layouts and they are…

I will update this list if and when I come across a new site that offers the same thing.

Hope you will like my “new look”

2009-02-17T20:36:00.000-08:00

I got this two templates, Chugs No. 5 and Butterflies Are Free, from Amanda Thorderson Digital Scrapbook Designs…

At first I made a layout for the Chugs Day 5 template….adding the smile wordart of Create with TLC…

But I was so in love with the flower cluster frame that I decided its time to experiment on making a background layout…. and so together with the other elements of the Butterflies Are Free Kit, myphotoblog site is now sporting a “New Look”. The other elements like the cluster frame used in the header came from JoniGray; sparkles, leaves and flowers from Dallien’s Yellow Autumn Kit; flowers from Chingjp Designs and the butterfly from Bel Viddotti’s Sunny Day Kit …

This is my first time to create a background layout and I hope you will all like it too….

To all of the designers… much much love and appreciation for their continuous generosity….

Templates from Pencil Lines

2009-02-16T11:29:00.000-08:00

I’ve discovered a site which caters mainly in providing templates. It is called Pencil Lines (The International Sketch Challenge Blog. Be Inspired to Create). The blog is all about using sketches to expand one’s artistic horizons. It is about thinking outside one’s normal processes to create something wonderful. They feature guest designers who will contribute that week’s template. They even encourage their readers to email layouts made because every month, their design team will pick their favorite reader’s layout. They are now in their Sketch No. 122. The template I have made is Sketch No. 117 ( I downloaded the template last month and it’s only now that I had the time to use it …)

The elements used here like the papers and alphas were taken from Digitreats Smirk Theme.

Another Project 365 Template

2009-02-15T14:22:00.000-08:00

I’m back to using templates…. and I found wonderful three sites that gives awesome templates….

The site, Just 2 More Things, does not only make creative templates but also “swirl path text” too (really cute). Although this template was meant for project 365, I revised it a little to suit my layout. I only needed four frames instead of the usual seven because I want the partial background to be visible.

But if you want the seven-day frame, here’s the preview and do check the site because it is worth visiting… Just 2 More things …

This “heart-shaped template is from Simply Yin ‘s Template No. 92….

Last is the Project 365 – February template from the Fabulous Adventures of List Girl which is really “fantabulous” and great-looking template….

Happy Heart’s Day!!!

2009-02-10T13:13:00.000-08:00

I want to share with you a layout I made using the “Funky” Kit of Joni Gray Digiscrap Freebies…

It is actually a complete kit with all the papers, elements and matching funky alphas as shown here…

Joni has been a favorite of mine ever since I’ve known digiscrapping months ago because of her gorgeous freebies. I always share with her whatever layouts I create out of her “generosity.”

Bel Vidotti's Sunny Day Kit

2009-02-01T16:17:00.000-08:00

Remember the Sunny Quick Page that I posted a few days back? Well, I fell in love with its color scheme that's why when I had the time, I went back to Bel Vidotti's site to check on her (I am assuming the designer is a she) older posts...and look what I found....the Sunny Day ScrapKit!!! She has even posted an inspirational layout titled Our Moments accompanied by a tutorial on how to go about it. I am not yet familiar with some of the terms used in the tutorial, so I have to do it in my way but if you are interested in it, please see this site, http://bvtutoriais.blogspot.com/2009/01/our-moments.html

and this is my version of Our Monents...

My Photoblog...

2009-01-28T17:34:00.000-08:00

Hello there everyone...

I have created my own blog, My Simple Thoughts N Creations and as an offshoot of that, I made this PhotoBlog to showcase my digital scrapbooking layouts. I am not a designer (but I wish I am or I wish I can) and so all my projects are solely based on all my accumulated freebies offered by various designers.

I am an artist by heart but have limited talents to express it... and so I fell in love with the concept of digiscrapping maybe because I consider it is an art expression...I do these layouts for my personal satisfaction and I love doing them for my family and friends and sharing with people with the same passion.

I don't claim ownership of all the layouts, elements, template or wordart that will be used in my projects. I will try to give credit to all the designers but if not (because I have accumulated so many freebies that it's hard already to keep track where I got them), I just want to thank all of them for sharing with us their wonderful creations.
