Suddenly Spring Collab by The Urban Fairy and Alegna Designs

Here I've a got another bright and colorful Spring theme kit. This time it's a collaboration that you can find only in Scrappity Doo Dah. Yes, it is Suddenly Spring Collab by The Urban Fairy and Alegna Designs!

Danielle of the Urban Fairy is a guest designer for April at SDD and this kit is exclusively launched there. I personally adore the bird nest and the color theme is just so vibrant!

I use picture of Acha playing breath holding game under the water because Acha's swim suit mathes the kit perfectly!

The Urban Fairy : Lucky to be Me

The newest designer I work with, Daniele from The Urban Fairy, has just release a new mini kit titled Lucky to be Me. This kit is great for all sorts of moments, memories you'll never have to forget! Several unique elements and lots of great papers! 10 papers, 4 splats and 36 elements. You can snag this kit at her store at Digiridoo Scraps.

I really love the choices of paper I can use from this collection. They're all natural colours and very versatile to use for various themes. I used this kit to scrap my visit to Kawah Putih 6 years ago. I love how the page turned out to be :)

The Urban Fairy : Breeze and Moments Word Arts

I can't believe that February has ended so fast... Hello March! In the beginning of this month, Danielle of The Urban Fairy has released her latest mini kits called Breeze for "Take Your Pick" category held every 2 months at Digiridoo Scraps. She created 3 mini kits for this theme : Elements, Papers and Word Bits and all of them are available at Digirido Scraps for 40% sale at limited time. So, hurry and grab them while they're still last!

She has been so productive lately she's showered me with tons of gorgeous new products. Not just digi-scrap kits, but she also tried her hands on Actions and Word Arts. Fabulous! So lucky to be her CT....

I combined this mini kit with her other product : Moments Word Arts and her Photo Treatments Action V-2 (Black and White look) to create this page. All of these kits are available in her shop, Digiridoo Scraps now. So, grab them while they're still hot :)

I love this Word Arts because they are so flexible and  can be use for almost every occasion possible. She said said in the product description."This is my first pack of word art! Every moment makes a memory in our hearts. This pack includes 10 PNGs. Easy to use, change the blends and opacity to you liking! Let these words help make your pages just that little bit more wonderful." So, what are you waiting for? Put a little warm and magic on your pages now...

Voila... the moment of truth... here is my page :

Another layout I made for Scrapbook-Bytes' Template challenge. I still used Siamese Studio's Love Birds and The Urban Fairy's Photo Treatments action V-2. I love how easy we can get 4 different Black and White just by clicking action button. I'm lovin it... Danielle, you're the best!

Oh yeah... as an addition to the action, I put a pink paper layer on top of the photo and reduce the opacity to get a bit of pink nuance on the photos underneath.

Here is my layout :

PictureDesigns : lil'Boy Kit & The Urban Fairy : Photo Treatment Action Version 2

I used this lil`Boy Kit by PictureDesigns to experiment with Selective Colour technique. I needed a dark bakground to show off the photos, so I chose this kit. I've downoaded this kit last month but hasn't got any idea how to use it yet so... this is it! This time, I opted for more clean look and only used a little element. And I tried out a new shadowing technique using Edit > Transform > Warp to get the this look on the photo's shadow! Check it out....

This kit contains 13 papers and more than 60 elements plus unique Word Arts. The color scheme of the papers is so soft, with combination of pastel blue and brown. Even though this kit is clearly dedicated for boys, but you can use it for basically anything, like what I did here.

I was in the mood to try out The Urban Fairy's Photo Treatment Actions Volume 2 - Black & White. Danielle has created series of fantastic actions that really speed up your scrapping time. It's being tested now and will be released soon. So stay tune, scrappers!  I'm so grateful that I sent her my CT applying email back then :). She is such a creative and productive designer! Here is the result of my experiment with her Black and White actions :

Collab of Siamese Studio and The Urban Fairy : Heart Beat (released on 10 Feb 2012)

February is the month of love and of course most digital scrapbooking kits celebrate this occasion with LOVE themes. Heart, flowers (especially red roses), and pink elements dominate the look of many of Valentine kits. Our lovely May from Siamese Studio had collaborated with Danielle from The Urban Fairy to create this gorgeous love theme kit called Heart Beat. Look at the color pallet.. pink, beige, purple and a pinch of green... really Valentine, right? You can grab this kit at ScrapMatters and Digiridoo Scraps.

Let Cupid take you away with this beautiful collab kit from Siamese Studio and The Urban Fairy. Surround yourself with elegance and beauty as you enter a world of eternal love. Here, rich tones of pink and purple fill every corner. Filled to the brim with flowers, glitter, and swirls of all kinds, this kit is perfect for scrapping all your loved ones, from young to old.

You will find:
- 20 plain and patterned papers; 12 x 12
- 55 elements (plus 13 pre-shadowed elements) including: one doodle, six fabric flowers, one rose bouquet, one flower decoration, one ricrac, three eyelet lace (in three colors), one sequin, one bead, one bow, five buttons, two paints, one foliage, one vine, one screw, one painted decoration, three wordarts, one painted frame, one silver frame, one paper frame, one jewel frame, two resin frames, two journals, two resin roses, one border overlay, one leaf, one worn tag, six ribbons (two different ribbons in three colors each), one scattered heart gems, two vintage rose chipboard, two vintage cupid chipboard.

I just love the pink background so much, I feel the urge to show it off a bit more. How? By erasing the space in the middle of the metal heart and 2 papers beneath it, automatically showing off the patterned pink background. What do you think of it?

I used Alyssa's photos when she was just 2 years old, dressed in golden Chinese traditional costume. The color of the dress matches the frame very well, isn't it? For the last touch, I can't resist to put blended image of Alyssa behind the 2 frames... I just love blending :). And the scattered hearts are so cute against the beige background.... I hope my clustering technique is getting better now. I always having trouble to decide which element goes well with others in a cluster, and resizing them to make the cluster more real even makes the whole process more confusing. But I love trying out different type of shadow on the cluster's elements. It's fun....

And, since I've recently been accepted as Danielle's CT (The Urban Fairy), I made an extra layout with her part of this kit. Here it is :
