First Pet by Heather Z Scraps

 



Getting a pet for the first time is a big deal, especially for kids. A little more responsibility, a lot of excitement, and an unbelievable amount of love accompany this momentous occasion. My First Pet brings all the joy and love to your scrapbook in a big way. Bright colors, bold patterns, and playful elements bring whimsy and celebration to the page without distracting from the star of the show: your new pet. My First Pet celebrates many of the most popular first pets, including some unexpected favorites. You’ll find snakes, frogs, hedgehogs, and turtles alongside the more traditional cats, dogs, fish, and birds. There’s also plenty of snuggly hamsters, rabbits, and guinea pigs to go around. All of the animals also come with the supplies you need to keep them happy: food, tanks, cages, beds, wheels, treats, and so much more. Celebrate the newest members of your family in style - no matter how many legs they have - when you scrap their arrival with My First Pet.

At the Rink by Heather Z Scraps

 


When the lakes freeze over for the winter, it’s time to trade the paddles for some blades. Instead of gliding across the water in a kayak or canoe, it’s time to glide across the ice on skates. At the Rink celebrates this fun, family-friendly winter activity with a cheerful frosted color palette and plenty of pops of fun. At the Rink comes with everything you need for a fun-filled day of skating: gloves, ice skates, snowflakes, snow-colored trees, ponds, an indoor skating rink, and plenty of boys and girls to skate with. There are cozy papers full of snowfall, hand-knit motifs, and playful patterns, frosty semi-solids to provide the perfect backdrop for your photos, and six bold alphas to construct the perfect title. The only thing this kit is missing is some hot cocoa for taking a break. So pour yourself a cup while you settle in to scrap another fun day of skating on the ice with At the Rink.

     16 cozy and playful patterned papers

Oh Christmas Tree by Heather Z Scraps

 


Christmastime is a season of joy filled with celebration and traditions passed down through the generations. One of the highlights of this time of year is gathering around the tree together, basking in the glow of its twinkling lights.

But the elements are what truly make this kit shine. O Christmas Tree is packed with Christmas trees - decorated, bare, snow-covered, and even tied to the roof of the car- as well as strings of lights, Raggedy Ann-inspired children, decorative doilies and bows, ribbons, ricrac, and a star on top.

Time to get back on that "Creative Train" in 2023 !!

 After a very disappointing ending to 2022 ... I have decided to focus on what brings me joy. And that is the creative side of my life. I lost my job 10 days before Christmas .... yeah put a big red bow on that !!  lol !!  My creative outlet saved my sanity during that time. From now on I am going to make time for some creative outlet time. It is a necessity. 

I am becoming more involved in the creative team that I am on. And will do some advertising on here for that designer as well.  

I will also be posting my layouts and my creative creations. Now they won't all be digital layouts ... I also got a Cricut machine back in 2020 for my wedding anniversary present and I am loving all the creations I have made so far. So look forward to seeing those shared here as well.

And in addition to my creative side there will be my original "Blogging" side coming out as well. This is a great outlet to just share happiness, joy, and disappointment of everyday life. I don't sugarcoat anything ... I am about as real as it gets. I don't try to make my life look picture perfect because it is not. I am real ... and I think that is what people need to really get back to is being more real. We are always so worried how we are perceived by other people. I can say I really don't care what others think. I am putting two feet on the floor and taking one step at a time like everyone else. The world is a different place after the last few years. So we all have to change as well ... even if we didn't want to. 

Off to tackle something creative !!!  See ya on the flipside !!!!

Have you visited PIXEL SCRAPPER yet? Be sure to visit one of my favorite go-to websites !!!


               I found Pixel Scrapper when I joined a creative team for a digital designer and was looking for an open gallery to showcase my layouts. I had no idea how much this little corner of the web would completely change my daily creative habits. I started digital scrapbooking after a vacation in 2008. That creative obsession led to joining forces with another creative scrapper and starting a digital design business of our own. After several years we both went in different creative directions and moved onto other business ventures. Just recently over the last year when the pandemic hit, I started to focus on creating some freebie items again. I found some amazing designers who had commercial use items here for download and I started logging on daily to get my five free images. I built up a nice little stash and started working with some of those items to see what I could create. Those few commercial use items that I worked with from this site jump started a creative explosion in my world and a necessary distraction from what was going on around us and globally.

                I finished one whole vacation book that I had been trying to finish for 10 years. I relaunched my blog and started offering up freebies to see what kind of attention I could drum up. I got a lot of wonderful comments and even my layouts garnered some extra added attention. I was hooked …. and it was all thanks to Pixel Scrapper!!! I started browsing the page kits section which can be found here:  https://www.digitalscrapbook.com/browse/kits . And then I got a link to download an entire kit for free. There was no way I was going to pass that opportunity up. The toughest part was trying to decide what amazing kit to get. And at that point I started making a personal wish list of all the kits I wanted from this site.

                Pixel Scrapper has everything any creative individual would need. First, the community is amazing. I always become creatively distracted when I log on and see the gallery page. The members comments are kind and their words make you feel positive about your work knowing others enjoy them as much as you do. And then I always must log in and pick up any new commercial items that catch my eye. Like I said it has become a daily obsession. I can share my own layouts and creativity and be inspired by others as well. I have also for a few years got into the Project Life obsession. There are so many resources here at Pixel Scrapper as well for that. I am currently using some in my Project Life for 2021 right now.

                I recently got a Cricut machine as a gift and I have also used some commercial use items to cut out on cards and personal little items I have made for myself here at home. There are so many things you can find here at Pixel Scrapper that will get your creative juices flowing. If you are looking for an inspiring place to find kits and items to jump start your creativity, then this is the place to be. I hope you find the creative spark you are looking for. And if you have any questions the members here are kind and extremely helpful. Be sure to drop by the forum section and look at all the information there is available. This is in my opinion, one stop shopping for my creative habit and I am sure in time it will be yours as well.
