Yes!  I found time to try and catch up with my art journal!  I was lucky enough to use my own new kit, Grimm, to complete this recent art journal page.  I also dusted off my Bamboo tablet and doodled like a crazy woman.  TFL!

Grimm | NEW

"There was once on a time, a king who had a wife with golden hair..."

--Grimm Brothers

Do you love the darker side of fairy tales? I am a huge fan of Grimm fairy tales and I absolutely adore the old illustrations from these stories. So I've shared my love for this with you. You'll find this kit is inspired by the Grimm brothers, not necessarily just their stories, and also included are illustrations by the fabulous Arthur Rackham, one of my favorite artists from the early 1900's. So get ready to create some fantastical artwork!

Kit includes: 24 papers and 78 elements (including a alpha sheet)!

This kit is 20% off till the end of July!!!!

Tale of a Wedding

I was lucky enough to photograph my sister's wedding on Saturday, which means I have all the wedding photos!  LOL!  I've been just playing around with them, eventually I'll do an album for the happy couple, but for now, here's some wedding inspiration from some of my own kits.

NEW | That's Swell! & Collage v.1

Now that all the madness of the birthday sale is over, and we are officially settled back down at Digiridoo Scraps, I've released two new products for you to ogle over!  The first is called That's Swell, and it really is.  I love the fashion of the 1930's, so I've created a kit celebrating that fact.  It's so fun!  It's got patterns and drawn fashion ladies and soft colors and textures.  

----->Link to Kit<-----

I've also decided to try my hand at printable products.  The first of it's kind in my shop, Collage v.1 includes two printable sheets for any of your art journals or hybrid projects.  I'm so curious to see what people come up with.  I'll be creating my own hybrid project soon, so keep an eye out for that.  

----->Link to Kit<-----

And you know me!  I have to put my new products on sale!  Both are 20% off till June 19th.  I'll also be giving away That's Swell to one lucky follower on here.  All you have to do is comment on this post and you'll be entered to win! 

And More Inspiration...

Another two LO's done!  One for another speed scrap and one for the Fan Art Challenge over at Digiridoo Scraps for this month's Inspiration Challenge.  I had a blast as you can see.  Went all out!  I absolutely adore and worship GLEE!  So Dylan, my son, took the photo, and we were off to recreate our own GLEE ad.  TFL!

Speed Scrap #2 | A little late...

I was off in my mind, researching for my next speech, and I completely forgot about the speed scrap tonight at Digiridoo!  But, I played along, late, anyway.  I've been feeling a little nostalgic lately with my brother in town for the week, so I found some old pictures from our fun vacations at the Outer Banks in North Carolina.  Day on the Beach by MC Designs was perfect for these photos!  I absolutely love her new vintage style kits.  Anyway, here's my page.  TFL!

ATC Mixed Bag v.5
designed by Sarah Barber©

(Coordinates with Birthday Bash Grab Bag!)

Artist Trading Cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern baseball cards, or 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches (6cm X 9cm), small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets. The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland. Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc). The cards are usually traded or exchanged rather than sold.
