A Layout and A Link
Today's question: What's your favorite holiday goodie to make and share?
Can you believe it? This is my very first scraplift! I got an e-mail asking for people to lift layouts by Marci Lambert, the founder of Layout-a-Day at Two Peas in honor of her birthday. I've never scraplifted, for the same reason that I don't use sketches. I have a lot of trouble following somebody else's design sense. But, I have always loved this one layout by Marci. So, here is my interpretation. It's 100% digital. I had a lot of fun creating the background (though it did end up more pink than I had originally intended) and the journaling cards.
And, I've discovered why people do digi (well, one of the reasons). I have houseguests right now and all my scrapbook stuff is packed away, but I was able to complete this layout quickly and quietly on my laptop.
Now, for the link: International Quilt Festival: Houston, TX 2007
It's a video report from the Houston Quilt Festival and my quilt is featured! Well, featured may be a bit strong, but it's one of the very few quilts that is shown. It flashes by with my name across it. Very cool! I didn't take any pictures of the quilt before I shipped it off (finished it moments before the post office was closing), but when it comes home, I'll be sure to share.
WTG having your quilt featured in the video. :) Awesome lift. Love that design.

Love the layout Julie and so cool that your quilt is in the video! Your quilting just amazes me, my grandmother was a quilter and I am just in awe of anyone that can do that!
Also, hope you don't mind that I linked your blog at 2peas for the Wacom tablet thread...thought that you wouldn't!
Have a super day!

I've just learned to do digi, and I love it, too! Can't believe how much fun it is, and it's perfect for people like me who can't decide and like to move things around and resize a lot before coming up with the final layout.

You did a great job scrap lifting Marci's layout. I have never scrap lifted before either. I just never plan ahead, kinda fly by the seat of my pants gal...
Happy Holidays!
