CT Spotlight: Countyside Harmony and Layer Masks

Hi! (Or "Privet," as I'm learning in Russian) It's Cara here today to put a spotlight on a fantastic kit, Countryside Harmony. I've also created a freebie for you, so make sure to scroll all the way down.

Maria is just so talented and thoughtful when creating her kits and this kit is SO fantastic! There is so much I love about this kit. I adore the whimsical feel of it and the soft colors and neutral hues are so versatile, you could scrap just about anything with it. Enough of my gushing... take a look at the kit!

Here's the layout I created with it. I love photo masks, and I used this one in a very different way. And yep, that's me as a little girl... a looooong time ago. :)

And, here's the freebie - a template for you to create your own Countryside Harmony page with the colors and elements that suit your picture best. ~ link expired~ We'd love to see what you do with the template and the kit, so be sure to let us see it!!

Have a great week everyone!

CT Spotlight: Tree House Fun

Carolyn here with a fun freebie for you today using Scrapmuss Designs awesome kit: Tree House Fun!!! I love this kit as it has so many different papers and elements to make your layouts fabulous. There are all the fun paper elements like a tree house and telescope and then there are those more "natural" elements with lots of foliage and distressed papers. You will love it! Here is the kit:


And here are two very-different pages that I made:



The value pack below is only $6 and contains the alpha pack and checked papers that I used in the South Africa layout above. Don't you just LOVE that alpha?





Okay, and now what you have been waiting for: the quickpage I made for you from my treehouse layout. Hope you like it (image linked - click to download).

Hi ya'll! I'm Kathy a new member of the Scrapmuss Design CT Team and I am so excited to be a part of this fabulous team and work for Maria, she is pretty darn amazing and talented!

Anyway, I'm so excited to spotlight the beautiful kit Happy To Be. There are so many things that I adore about this kit. So, let me just rattle them off to you.......I LOVE the neutral look of this kit, yet it pulls in beautiful orange and blue hues. The kit is so completely versatile, you could get away with scrapping any themed pictures with this kit. Plus, if you buy the packaged deal, you get 2, let me say that again, you get 2 Alpha's. One in orange and one in blue. How completely cool is that?!!! Well, enough from me, take a look for yourself.

Here's a layout I made:
