CT Spotlight - Meredith Cardall

It's Beth here, bringing you happy Thursday greetings and a chance to meet another wonderful member of Krystal's Creative Team! Please meet Meredith Cardall!

Meredith Cardall's Sweet Shoppe Gallery

1.What made you apply for Krystal Hartley's team?
I was gallery-hopping one day and saw a really cute layout. I looked at the layout and it was one of Krystal's. I found her blog and started looking around and noticed that she was a designer. I downloaded a bunch of her stuff and sent her an e-mail, telling her how much I loved her designs and begged to be allowed to join her CT. That was more than two years ago and I have been on the team ever since!

2. What are your favorite types of products to work with?
I am a complete paper addict. I love papers! I prefer background papers to be solids and then using patterned papers as accents.

3. When do you scrap? Naptimes, after the kids go to bed?
Whenever I can squeeze it in! It's typically between breakfast and lunch after we take the older daughter to school and while the younger daughter is playing!

4. What are your strengths as a CTM? Weaknesses?
That's a good question! :) I think one of my strengths is that I absolutely love Krystal and her products. I will do everything I can to help Krystal succeed as a designer because I believe in her talent! One of my weaknesses is that I have very little time!

5. Show us your first page.
Nope. No way. Well, if you're gonna twist my arm...


6. How many times do you use a product?
It really depends on the product. I tend to use Krystal's kits more than others. I return to her papers over and over again.

7. Do you scrap mainly for memory preservation or for creative fulfillment?
Both. I definitely want to preserve my family's history, but I want to make it pretty! :)

8. Who are some of your favorite scrappers and why?
Cheryl - she is just an amazing scrapper! I love to look at her pages.
becca1976 - just look at her amazing shadows!
and of course, Krystal Hartley - creativity just oozes out of her pages!

9. Are you drawn to one color more than others?
Pink. But maybe that's because I have two girls.

10. What software do you use?
Photoshop CS4

11. What is your current favorite layout (that you made)?

(Page created using Krystal's "The Other Side of Me" kit.)

12. What's your favorite scrap trend?
Multiple photo pages - I feel like I see more of them lately.

13. What do you "just not get?" (ex. chandeliers, owls, 3-d, etc.)
I don't think there is a style that I don't get. I think that diversity is one of the great things about scrapbooking. It's an artform and I love that people express themselves in so many different ways.

14. Do you know any digi scrappers in real life?
Yep! I have met a few at various scrapbooking events and around Utah.

15. Krystal's thinking about getting a Mac. Should she? Why or why not?
I am up for anything that will help Krystal in her creative process. But don't ask me for help with anything Mac.

16. What's your best workflow (time management) tip when it comes to scrapbooking?
I have started grouping my photos into layouts I want to make and then copying a shortcut to the kit I want to use with that kit. Not every grouping has a kit linked, but as I think of which kit I would like to use, I create the shortcut.

As a special thank you, here is a template made just for stopping by! Download here and happy scrapping!

Wild Wednesday - QP Freebie!

Good evening, scrappers! We are having a fantastic weather pattern here in California so it is indeed a very sweet September. Speaking of sweet, I used Krystal's Sweet September kit...


...to scrap this page of my little sweetie!


Please enjoy a Sweet September QP made just for you! Download here.

Basic Photo Editing Tips for Photoshop (Part 1)

It’s Beth here to provide you with some simple tips for editing your photos in Photoshop CS.

One of my favorite actions to use first on an image is Mike Warren’s free Photoshop action called “Dreamy Glow.” (The download includes a dreamy glow action and a basic clean-up, aka de-fogging, action. The de-fogging action is the one I will be using in my sample.) You can find this action on his website here. This particular action can be found by scrolling down toward the bottom of the page where the free/for donation section is.

Here’s an example of a before and after look of a photo using this photoshop action (feel free to click image to see more detail):

As you can see, the fog or haze is cleared up, color enhanced, and details are sharpened. It’s a simple way to give your image an extra pop!

If you are in need of some basic information on how to download, install, and use actions, check out these great tutorials on the TRA website.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Both. :) I like it that I can look back one day and remember my teen years. But also I sometimes make random quirky layouts, just to have fun and be creative. :)

CT Spotlight

It's Beth here and welcome to another edition of our CT member spotlights! Today, we are spotlighting Amy Stoffel.


Amy's Sweet Shoppe Gallery

1. What made you apply for Krystal Hartley's team?

I had been following Krystal through the design contest at Funky Playground designs. And I had purchased all of her fabulous collab kits with SSD designers. You can tell that Krystal puts a lot of thought and time into every element and paper, and I that drew me to working with her products.

2. What are your favorite types of products to work with (you can mention specific favorites, but I'd really like to know if you are a paper addict, brushes, doodles...whatever).

The only things I am addicted to are buttons and staples! Other than that I love everything.

3. When do you scrap? Naptimes, after the kids go to bed?

When my kids are in school, or when they are in bed at night.

4. What are your strengths as a CTM? Weaknesses?

My strength would be I am fast! I can whip up a layout with almost any style kit. My weakness would be that I am a very emotional person. And so if something happens in my personal life, I get really quiet and my mojo gets sucked right out of me.

5. Show us your first page.

Oh. Em. Gee.


6. How many times do you use a product?

I *try* to use a kit at least twice. But if I make one layout that rocks my socks with a kit, that makes me happy too.

7. Do you scrap mainly for memory preservation or for creative fulfillment?

There was a time when I scrapped purely for creative fulfillment. But after taking some personal time away from scrapbooking I came back at it with a new perspective, and it's purely for memory preservation now.

8. Who are some of your favorite scrappers and why?

Oh wow. Nikki Epperson is one of my faves, Nee Nee, Fairon and Coila all top my list too. I love their style, and photos. Each of them is so unique, and create pages that "pop" out of the gallery.

9. Are you drawn to one color more than others?

I have a thing for orange! After that, blue.

10. What software do you use?

PS7

11. What is your current favorite layout (that you made)?

This one, it makes me giggle, because I have been dodging this question from my 5 year old!


12. What's your favorite scrap trend?

Honestly, I don't follow them.

13. What do you "just not get?" (ex. chandeliers, owls, 3-d, etc.)

What is up with chandeliers? I don't get that! I still love owls!

14. Do you know any digi scrappers in real life?

Sadly, no.

15. Krystal's thinking about getting a Mac. Should she? Why or why not?

I am seriously illiterate when it comes to computers. So I will stay out of that mess.

16. What's your best workflow (time management) tip when it comes to scrapbooking?

I guess, just set aside time to scrap. I have a schedule, sort of, to balance scrapping, designing, and my home life. If something makes you happy, you find a way to do it!

And, as a thank you for taking the time to learn more about Amy, she has created a free goodie for you. She used this adorable layout to create a template. Isn't it so sweet?

Enjoy! And have a great day!

Wild Card Wednesday

It's Beth here bringing you something tasty & delish!

A friend of mine made these for a church event and I just had to try them. Normally, I don't consider anything with lemon in it a dessert...it's more of a fruit you make a drink from. But these are little drops of heaven! Lemon Blossoms by Paula Deen will knock your socks off. If you've never tried them, you seriously NEED to. Just to forewarn you...they are addicting!



I made this recipe card using Krystal's Carpe Diem kit. It was a perfect fit for a "citrus-y" kind of treat! Download recipe card here.

And here's a few things I do differently than what the recipe says.
*If you have non-stick and/or coated baking pans, spraying them with cooking spray isn't really necessary.
*You can also use regular cupcake size tins but you just need to adjust the cooking time.
*Watch them carefully...12 minutes cooking time makes them a little overcooked, in my opinion.
*I don't bother with the lemon zest on mine and the flavor is still fantastic.
*After dipping all the little muffins in the glaze, I pour the remaining glaze over the top of all the muffins just 'cause I like mine well glazed. :-)
*I don't bother using the wire rack. I just put them directly on waxed paper...one less thing to wash.

Happy baking! :-)

Tuesday Tutorials - Shadows

I think the majority of digi scrappers will agree that shadows can make or break a page. There is a never-ending journey for many of us to perfect the fine art of shadowing. I'm on the journey myself...somewhere past beginner, but no where near the masters. I do have some tips, tricks, and observations to share, along with some shadow styles for you.

I think it's always helpful to study the masters...study their shadowing and try to replicate what you love about it. The whole purpose to shadowing is to create REALISM, so I think the ultimate master is studying the shadows on a real, physical page...like from a paper scrapbooking gallery.

Let me link you up to some amazing paper galleries where you can just soak in the natural shading and shadowing taking place in the beautifully clustered and layered masterpieces:

2dogs

Gabriellep

Karola Witczak

Note that the shadows fall in a different direction depending on the photographers's light source. 2dogs obviously has a window or light source to the left of her page, Karola to the right, and Gabrelle's is mostly from the top. Notice how the shadows don't just hit the background, but they play off the other elements on the page as well. Look at the last example--the flower to the bottom left not only has a drop shadow, but there is also an obvious shading taking place on the flower itself from the petals that curl up to the right, blocking some of the sunlight. Notice where the shadows are tiny and where they are bigger, and especially notice that soft lighting gives soft shadows.

Speaking of soft shadows...lighten up! I mean...lighten up your shadows. Shadows that are too dark make your elements look stiff and stagnant. Lightening them up will create a more fluid, graceful feel to them. Example:

This page (above) uses the default shadow. It's a black shadow using a multiply blend mode--which looks awful on this light background paper. Plus, they are all the exact same size and distance from the background--no allowance for real depth. But you say, Krystal, I'd never use the default shadow. I change my depth. So here's another page (below) with the default color and blend setting, but with me changing my distance and/or size.

Improvement? Not so much. That much depth on those stitches looks absolutely ridiculous! And the deeper shadows look even darker and more out of place than the previous example. The key here is to lighten them up and give each element its own depth as appropriate. Oh...and use Linear Burn instead of Multiply. The result is much prettier.

See? BTW, this is one of the pages in my QuickPage set available here.

Here are some links to some tutorials to help you in your pursuit of Shadow Happiness. :)
Megan Turnidge
Peppermint

And before you go, I'd thought I'd share some of my own shadow styles with you. These are not going to work for you 100% of the time...you'll still need to adjust opacity, distance, size, etc. for the perfect shadow, but you can use them as a good starting place. I created these in Photoshop CS3, and they should be compatible with most PSE versions, but no promises. :)

Edit:
One of the things that I love adding to my shadows is an Outer Glow...with similar color as the drop shadows above, set to linear burn. I adjust the size and opacity to create realism and usually have to decrease the opacity of the drop shadow to compensate for this extra layer style. Here's an example where most things have an Outer Glow added

CT Member Spotlight

Hi all! Beth here with a spotlight on Rachel Stiverson (aka RealRach), who also happens to be a dear friend of mine. :-) Please meet Rachel!


Rachel's Sweet Shoppe Gallery

1. What made you apply to for Krystal Hartley's team?
Honestly, I didn't apply to the team! I have had a personal friendship with Krystal for years and when she went into designing, I just always joked that I would help her and she graciously agreed. I was the her FIRST EVER CT MEMBER!! I don't brag on myself much but please let me have this moment...ah....thank you!

2. What are your favorite types of products to work with (you can mention specific favorites, but I'd really like to know if you are a paper addict, brushes, doodles...whatever).
My favorite types of products to work with are those that are close to paper style. I am first and foremost a memory preserver. I bet you all thought I would say ORANGE STUFF!! heehee Wait for it...

3. When do you scrap? Naptimes, after the kids go to bed?
I really don't have a specific time. I do it whenever I can, really. But I guess mostly in the evenings. I'm a night owl for sure. But at the same time I can get up early with a smile on my face ready to greet the day!

4. What are your strengths as a CTM? Weaknesses?
My strengths as a CTM are my speed. I am able to get my thoughts together quickly and can get it done fast. My weakness would be remembering to post that I have posted. I have a hard time remembering to come back and link up my work. Believe me...it's done and I can prove it if you need me too!

5. Show us your first page.


6. How many times do you use a product?
I would say it depends on the kit. Some kits get used a few times over but then some just once. Mainly because I have so many layouts that I need to do in a week that I just don't have the time to go back and use them as much as I want.

7. Do you scrap mainly for memory preservation or for creative fulfillment?
I would say first is memory preservation. I do enjoy the creative fulfillment along the way too! If I get the itch for paper, I'll break out a hybrid project. But I really do NOT miss the mess, the storage, the cost of paper scrapping.

8. Who are some of your favorite scrappers and why?
I can say without hesitation that Krystal Hartley is my favorite scrapper. I have loved her style from the first time I ever met her. I do miss seeing her layouts. I have heard her say she is going to start scrapping more but I will believe that when I see it! (jab...jab...jab...) Next up would have to be Cheryl Ashcraft (gonewiththewind) She's amazing and leaves me speechless on most occasions. I have just recently found that Kay Miller (KayM) is "speaking" to me too. There are so many amazing CTM out there I just can't begin to name them all. I love to just search the galleries and admire their work.

9. Are you drawn to one color more than others?
Not really....bwahahahahaha Riiightttt....All together now shall we....ready, set, go....ORANGE!!!

10. What software do you use?
I used Creative Suite 2. I would love to get CS5 but it's a thing called money. Anyone wanna share some with me?!

11. What is your current favorite layout (that you made)?
See below. (You can also click here to see it in my gallery.)


12. What's your favorite scrap trend? I'm not really sure I have a favorite trend?
It really depends on what Krystal and the other designers give me to work with as to what I do with it. As I said, I tend to do pages that could be done with paper too.

13. What do you "just not get?" (ex. chandeliers, owls, 3-d, etc.)
I "just don't get" why anyone would not want to scrap with Krystal stuff?! LOL mwahahaha... I love to try it all! There's always the UNDO button!

14. Do you know any digi scrappers in real life?
Well, as you know, I know Krystal personally but we do not live close. I have also met a few of my fellow CTM on Krystal's team in real life. I have a local friend who is just getting into digi, Hi Bev!, but other than that, it's just a bunch of Cyber Friends who mean as much as my real life friends to me!

15. Krystal's thinking about getting a Mac. Should she? Why or why not?
A big mac?? I don't eat them anymore. Way too many points in my opinion. *snicker That's a war I'm not willing to touch.

16. What's your best workflow (time management) tip when it comes to scrapbooking?
My best tip...well, I love to take any kit and just open the whole darn thing at once and look at what paper speaks to me and then just lump the elements on a page and move them around, re-size, delete. I know within a few seconds which elements are ME. I also have a fetish for templates. I will say that sometimes, you may have no clue I even used a template because I change it up so much...but it gives me direction when I am lost. I also try to find a photo before I even begin the kit based off what I find in the preview. That's the hard part for me...finding the perfect photo. Because I scrap for memory preservation...I have lots of event type photos of my boys, family, etc. I am totally caught up with my scrapping too. Just for the record!

Here's another one of Rachel's awesome layouts that I made a template from just for you!


And here's the template. Click here to download. Enjoy!


Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend, everyone!

Wild Card Wednesday

It's Wednesday here at the Scrap Happiness blog, which means you never know what you're gonna get! Today, it's a little freebie, available for a limited time. Enjoy!

CT Member Spotlight

Hi, Olivia here bringing you a little bit of inspiration from one of Krystal’s creative team members, Beth Swann.

Beth’s Sweet Shoppe Designs Gallery

1. What made you apply to for Krystal Hartley's team?
I've known Krystal from a previous business relationship (see #8) and her designs have always appealed to me because her design ability takes in such a broad range of styles. She can do feminine, masculine, eclectic, traditional, trendy, shabby, modern, etc. She's a true leader with innovative ideas so I knew I could only get better as a scrapper by being on her team! She's a down-to-earth and genuine person. I feel blessed to be a part of her team!

2. What are your favorite types of products to work with (you can mention specific favorites, but I'd really like to know if you are a paper addict, brushes, doodles...whatever).
I have a serious addiction to damask-print paper, flowers, string, and curled ribbon. Yes, I am a girly-girl!

3. When do you scrap? Naptimes, after the kids go to bed?
Mornings or afternoons work best for me to scrap since that's when the kids are in school.

4. What are your strengths as a CTM? Weaknesses?
My CT position is more administrative than creative so that probably answers both questions, LOL!

5. Show us your first page.
Hmmm....uh, the check is in the mail. ;-)

6. How many times do you use a product?
I will use a product several times over. Isn't that the bonus of scrapbooking digitally?

7. Do you scrap mainly for memory preservation or for creative fulfillment?
Mostly, I scrap for memory preservation since I consider myself a family historian. But when I have something extra special to preserve, I go all out creatively!

8. Who are some of your favorite scrappers and why?
You may call this bias but I call it logic. Krystal Hartley is my favorite scrapper and she has been ever since we were associates in a scrapbooking direct-sales company, even before digital scrapbooking existed. She can take anything from ANY style and make it look fantastic! She has been inspiring me, even before her entry into the digi world. And she's always helping and encouraging others to be successful in the hobby as well. I also draw a great amount of inspiration from the other CT members and SSD community members....too many to name.

9. Are you drawn to one color more than others?
I am definitely attracted to pink and the more traditional color palettes.

10. What software do you use?
PS CS4

11. What is your current favorite layout (that you made)?
This one is my favorite: Worth More Than a Thousand Words

(Credits: Krystal Hartley & Scrapkitchen's “The Very Thought of You” and Seattle Sheri's 12-2-09 SSD Cookie Template)

12. What's your favorite scrap trend?

To be honest, I don't know what's currently trending. But I do love all the rage of awesome shadowing!

13. What do you "just not get?" (ex. chandeliers, owls, 3-d, etc.)

I'm really not crazy about mushrooms.

14. Do you know any digi scrappers in real life?

Yes...I know a few fellow CT group members; Krystal Hartley, Susan Catmull, Rachel Stiverson, Krystal Grant, and a few others. I also digi-scrap with a few women here locally, including my sister-in-law Anna Moore.

15. Krystal's thinking about getting a Mac. Should she? Why or why not?

LOL! I think she should so she can tell the rest of us what she thinks and get all the potential kinks worked out for us ahead of time. :-)

16. What's your best workflow (time management) tip when it comes to scrapbooking?

Scrap when the kids are at school or asleep. LOL! But seriously, I do plan a little...I open all the pictures I'm going to use when making a layout (because I like to mass produce when I scrap for myself), edit the pictures before putting them on the layout, choose the digital kit that goes with the pictures, and just start putting it all together.

Now that you know Beth a little better, how about a freebie? Here’s a template based on Beth’s layout “Sweet Niece.”

Download here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Wild Card Wednesday

We're excited to introduce to you "Wild Card Wednesdays!" Wednesday is our designated day for miscellaneous fun and surprises! It could be our favorites recipes, freebies, hybrid projects, or other little treasures. So stay tuned!

Speaking of hybrid projects, I had some scrap therapy today! Krystal's newest release "The World is My Oyster" is shabby, delicate, vintage.....well, you had me at shabby! It reminded me a lot of my paper-crafting days with it's paper-like textures.


I like to have a stash of stationary on hand for writing to friends and family. It adds a special personal touch. So, here they are.

I inked the edges, mounted them on cardstock, and added a little bling to them. AND, I made a freebie for ya! (The cards included do not have text so you can customize them as you choose!) Click on image below to download. Enjoy!

P.S. A little birdie told me there's another freebie on Krystal's personal blog. ;-)

Happy Spring!

This is Beth here to bring you some sweetness!

Spring is getting closer and closer here in usually-sunny-California! The sun peeks out in between occasional showers and the cloud scene is spectacular! It's my favorite time of year (apart from Christmas). So many are expressing their anticipation for spring weather and I couldn't help think a "Spring-y" (yes, I made that up!) quickpage is just the ticket.

Krystal's "Shabby She" kit is perfectly in-line with Spring layouts! Isn't it gorgeous?!
(All images are linked.)



Here's a layout I made of my niece. She's growing so fast! While babysitting a couple weeks ago, I got to sneak in a few pics of her.



And I thought a free quickpage to share would be so fun. Enjoy your sweetness! (Click image to download.)

January Template Challenge!

It's Leah, girlygirl, here bringing you the first template challenge of the new year! Here is the layout that I based my template on. I used Krystal's These Days are Golden kit on my page, which is now retired.

So, to participate in the challenge all you need to do is download the template by clicking the image below and load up your new template with lots of Krystal's goodies!!! Upload your page to an online gallery and leave us a comment with the link to your page! Have it done by the 31st of January and one random person will win a gift certificate to Krystal's store!!

December Desktop Freebie

Whoohoo TGIF!
It's Giseli here today and I confess I'm curious about Thanksgiving. I don’t live in the states and where I live we don't celebrate it. Everyone celebrates it or it's kind a "religion" related celebration? Do you celebrate it only Thursday or during all weekend? How was yours? I bet you had tons of delicious food... turkey! YUMMY! Man, I'm jealous! Can't wait to have my body stuffed with good food until I can no longer move. I have to wait for Xmas to do this or start to celebrate Thanksgiving here! Decisions... decisions... LOL
And speaking about Xmas... Do you realize it's about less than month for Xmas? WOW! I only made my cards and some shopping. I still have TONS of things to do for our Xmas celebrations. What about you? Can I help you with one thing? I made 2 December desktops: one Xmas themed featuring "Heaven and Nature Sing" kit and "Feelin' Frosty" kit and the other Winter themed featuring "Happy Feet" (CUTE!) collab. between Krystal and Ziggle Designs.
I would love to share both with you:
Both are 1024 x 768 size

Hope you like them both!
