20TWELVE Photos + Phrases: Photoshop Tutorial - Earthen

Papier Creatif Studio Scrapbook*Works March Freebie Digi Kit, *Earthen*, has been zipped and is ready to roll!  To learn the techniques used in this layout, download the kit and follow along with my  step-by-step vimeo Photoshop Tutorials.  This Monthly template has a Parisian, St. Patty's Day vibe with the Queen of Luxe, Marie Antoinette, peeking through a vintage cathedral arch.  She's beautifully dressed in a violet festuned frock and framed by glitzy border accents.  Marie continually orchestrated events and room redux every waking moment and her place in the modern world still remains. She consistently finds her way into the hearts of altered artists due to her creatif renegade notions!  I relate to her totally, as I'd love to redecorate every room in my house!!! LOL!!!


Feel free to change up your template/layout, use your own papers and elements or mix it up! Then, post your layout on the Linky Tool at the bottom of this post.

Papier Creatif Freebie: Digital Cupcake

Here's a super cute Cupcake FREEBIE for Everyone from my Some Birdy! "Chevron Stripes & Cupcakes" mini*works collection!

Time for me to catch my breath and organize for the remaining part of the month!  Do you all go through little rituals before tackling a project?  For instance, I have to pick-up my office BEFORE settling into design every week or two.  This habit was definitely reinforced *inspired* by my Mom telling me as a teenager, "Before you go anywhere, CLEAN YOUR ROOM!"  LOL!  So, to catch my breath is more like clearing my head by doing mundane, yet necessary tasks *chores* like house and yard work.  I always feel so much more productive after it's done albeit begrudgingly sometimes!  It clears dusty old ideas out of my head and makes way for new ones!  And I love admiring how pretty it all looks in the end and that it's off the To Do List!

Promise me that you'll do something before Mother's Day weekend, like clear off your desks, spiffy us a cluttered room or space and for your reward, enjoy a cupcake!  Here's to all the Moms who made us clean our rooms.  Would luv to hear what project you pick.  Comment back if you'd like to share what you've done!  Crank up the music and get 'er done!!!
