Enchanted Times Inspired by the Girls.

I was looking at my early LOs and realized I haven't been using solid block colors. I'm always in the pastel, patterned papers mode. And so I decided to check some stuff from Raspberry Road Designs (which I totally adore) for some kits with blaring solid primary colors. Good thing, I found her Clovis the Clown and Color Your World collection. I promised myself to do an LO using the stuff.

Now, what could possibly be the photos I could use on these LOs? Something fun and exciting to go with the colorful kits. Hmn, I remembered last year, I went to Enchanted Kingdom three times. Yes, three times! All with the former officemates. And so I rummaged through my files to look for photos. (We have lots!)

I also challenged myself today. I'll be doing three LOs for the three times we went to EK. In each LO, I'm using one element, which will highlight the photos. I decided on using the Lotsapicsa template from Devine Designs by Melissa. I'm also doing my very first 8x8 pieces. If you notice, the first few LOs I made were done in 6x4 papers so that I can easily get them printed at any digital photo imaging shop. (At syempre, wala pa akong masyadong malay sa digiscrapping, hehe.) But in order for me to get into the real hype of digiscrapping, I also have to come up with 8x8 LOs, the standard size of scrapbooks. Almost all digiscrap stuff are also on this size. And so here goes...

Enchanted Kingdom 1: February 2007

Background paper from Nyckelpiga Creations' Happy Kit
Embellishments from RRD's Clovis the Clown Collection
EK Alphabet and pink fiber from Free Digital Scrapbooking's Hanging Tags and Funky Fibers Packs
Photo border from Devine Designs by Melissa

I started with a simple LO. I used the entire portion of the photo border and added lots of pictures. The bold colors, especially the red background, gives the strong introduction I needed on this "collection." It's colorful, isn't it? On to the next lay-out...

Enchanted Kingdom 2: March 2007

Digital scrapping kit from RRD's Clovis the Clown Collection
Photo border from Devine Designs by Melissa

I used the color blue this time and then I added more pronounced elements than the first LO. I only used a portion of the photo border. I wanted to distress the paper background further but Ulead can only do so much (either that, or I haven't mastered still the effects in Ulead, hehe).

Enchanted Kingdom 3: October 2007

Papers, flower, and gem embellishment from RRD's Color Your World Collection
Stapled Ribbons from ShabbyPrincess' Sweet Sprinkles Kit
Silver design from RRD's New Beginning Collection
EK Alphabet from FDS' Aged Embossed Pack
Mania Alphabet from ShabbyPrincess' Promise Kit

I used a different approach with the third LO. I used a different kit also from RRD. It's not as boxed and organized as the first two but I still love the striking colors that dominate the page. More elements can also be found here. Still, I used only a portion of the photo border.

I'm surprised I finished three LOs in just a day. Sheesh, I am really getting addicted to this thing. But first, please tell me what you think.
