here is another one of my pages for my CT role @scrapitsassy; it was created using a kit called Spring Parfait by ScrapKitten Designs. (Please click on the kit name to go to the kit.) I really loved working with this kit because (well, its obviously very pretty!) but its large too - there are lots of cool elements to choose from, and the colors are very soft and pretty. I am still trying to get my wedding scrapped, so i thought this kit would be a good choice for some of my photos. Ive tried to scrap this pic soooo many times, with no luck...its really the only photo that is somewhat close-up of me, but i remember my sister taking it and i smiled REALLY big and cheesy, so i have mixed feelings about it, lol! Anyway, this kit was a blast to work with, the only thing i added were drop shadows on all of my elements (im a drop shadow girl i guess) so go check out this kit, you'll be pleased!

I think this is fantastic! I love the pic, It looks as if you are sooo happy! I think your work is stunning! I am happy that you made the design team! Tfs :D
the one accessory that i truly love using on every page is scrapbook chalk. i currently use 2 different dry palettes, one called Decorating Chalks, which is a bright and vivid palette with primary colors, and another by Pebbles, Inc. called Kan'dee Shimmer Chalks. I always use at least 3 different colors of chalk on the area that i work on. for example, if i want an area to appear blue, i would use a deep blue on the outer parts, a mid-toned blue next to that, and finally a very pale blue (or even white) in the center. this process can also be reveresed, using the deepest color on the inside rather than outer sides. I use applicators to apply the 3 shades, but i always blend them together with my fingers. using 3 colors (or more) ensures you will achieve good depth of color and goes back to basic art principals of shading and highlights. if you've tried chalking in the past and were not happy with the result, it might be because you didn't get the depth/dimension of color you hoped for. if this is the case, get those chalks back out and practice with the 3 color rule. i also suggest trying colors that you never tried before, especially deep/dark colors can look intimidating in the palette, but are necessary for creating certain effects on paper. i think you'll really be amazed at how easy it is to create beautiful effects with chalks if you keep an open mind about color!
Love it Rachel :) The colors are so great.
