Some Useful Favorites

If you've been reading this blog for a little while, you'll know that I'm the genius who first came up with the idea that you can mix and match things from different kits. Or maybe it didn't go exactly like that...

Anyway, I'm smart enough to do it now, so I thought I'd share with you a few of my favorite kits I use ALL THE TIME.

▲ You can never have too many buttons!

▲ I swoon for pockets.

▲ Little strings always seem to be the finishing touch.

▲ I absolutely cannot make a layout without paint splatters.

▲ Neutral papers always have their place.

▲ Backgrounds usually need some fun stamps.

▲ A little something from here.

▲ And a little wood veneer. Very trendy.

▲ Also, you'll need these sheep.

What's your favorite go-to kit?

OMG...I really and truly NEED those sheep. Even if I can't think where I would use them, right at the moment. I just need them! I just love Melo's animals in general, and I grabbed the new Beachy templates she recently uploaded. Thank goodness I got the Patron subscription so I can do 5 CU downloads per day!

Fantastic. The sheep are THE BEST. I mainly use this stuff when making portfolio pages for the children at the childcare centre I run, so whenever the kiddies are into farm animals they get the sheep. Sooooo cute and helps to make all the boring text about what skills the child developed through that particular activity a little bit more fun.

I absolutely love all of your favorites! Those neutral papers are so good!

I'm all about mix and match - there are endless possibilities that way :) and using items separately from their kit mates seems more creative and fun to me.

Heehee, you crack me up Marisa... I completely missed the mix and match post, just read it and now have the funny hickups due too laughing too loud. Plus, those sheep still crack me up every time I see them.

I like that you listed some favorites here! I can sometimes get overwhelmed with choices so this gives me a starting point!

Ah those sheep! One of the first digital kits I ever downloaded but I haven't used them yet either! I will though, I will! I totally agree that you always need buttons and paint splats, my motto is "as on paper so on pixel"!

I agree, especially on the neutral papers. They can easily be recolored. And those sheep. OMG those sheep. I have loved them ever since I first saw them, but I haven't had just the right photo to use with them yet (all our baby photos are traditional prints) but have no fear, I WILL use them!

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
