Killing A Kit :: August

Hi everyone! I want to share the last pages I made using the Scraptastic Classy Girl kit and add on!

I'm saying that the kit is killed but really.. I have a ton left over which I'll add to my stash! 

In April I had a friend visit and we took a ton of photos, to many to make all 12x12 layouts with; so I wanted to do a Project Life style page using some of the pictures! 

Here is the left side of the page!

I wanted to use up some more of the sequins, buttons, bows, stickers and of course paper scraps.
I love how all these papers have bold prints but all go together!

Here are some close ups!

I didn't have to do much since the papers speak for themselves!

And the right side

Love love love!

And the close ups

That Happy card is my favorite!

So this was my version of killing the August kits! I hang on to all my scraps and pretty much everything so I can make pages like these!

Leave me a comment telling me some ways you like to kill a kit! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

This Life Noted

Hey everyone! Today I am sharing a This Life Noted page using the August This Life Noted kit!!
I love the bright colors and little embellishments in this kit... and the stamps!!

Can you believe I'm all the way back in March still!? I cut the top part off another TLN card to add a blank spot for a title, added a wood veneer piece, some sequins and circled the month!

I took the "Remember This" from a 3x4 card and glued on the cute flair badge!

I used the camera stamp that comes in the kit to make my own 3x4 cards that match, used my typewriter to add the names to the photos and another wood veneer piece!

Used one of the cut-aparts and more cute sequins!

The little frame in the back is from the stamp set and I cut the arrows from a 3x4 card, used some more tiny wood veneer pieces and called it done!!

...........
Never mind... not done! A couple days later I decided to add a little insert, so here it is!!

Here is the front and back sides of the 4x12 insert!
And a couple close ups.

Okay, now I can call it done :)
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out what everyone else is making with these kits over at

Double Spread :: Go See Do + 2 videos

Sharing another 12x12 and Project Life style page with you today!

For these pages I used the Studio Calico June kit, Roundabout.

Totally love this kit! (I think I say I love everything lol!) When I viewed it online I didn't think it was all that great but the photo doesn't do justice! This kit is perfect for travel pages and the chipboard set that comes in the kit is totally awesome!

I haven't worked on my album from my Washington trip in a while and this kit got me going again!

Here is the 12x12 page!

So colorful and so fun!

I've had this flair badge sitting with these pictures, and when I saw the Go. See. Do. chipboard piece, I just knew it was meant to be! I stuck the ticket from the ride in a little Whisker Graphics bag :)

Here is the process video!

And onto the Project Life style page!

I kept this super simple but still love the way it turned out!

The cork cameras didn't come in the kit but they are made by Studio Calico and super awesome!

Onto the process video!

Hope you enjoyed a second double page post!!

Again... I apologize for the lighting in the videos!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Double Spread :: Lynx Lake + 2 Videos!!

Today I have a 12x12 and a divided page to share with you! These pages will lay side by side in my 2013 album. I thought of splitting this post up but the video quality isn't the best this time around so I'll just go ahead and post them together.
I moved my scrapbooking supplies into a different room and forgot to change the exposure on my camera so the lighting looks super bright :( I apologize and hope you still enjoy the videos!
Let's take a look at the photos first!

This layout went in a totally different direction then I was planning, but I love the way it turned out!

I've been hoarding these papers and forced myself to use them! I stitched around the papers by doing one small section, cutting it off, and doing another small section that way I get the thread hanging from multiple parts of the page instead of just one spot if I were to stitch all the way around without stopping. 

I've had pieces of a really old Pink Paislee rubon set just sitting in my supplies for years now. I didn't use them all up on this page but I'm glad I put some of it to use. I like the texture it gives to the page!

Love these Tim Holtz word stickers!!

Here is the process video :)

Here is the right side to this layout.. Project Life style!

Love the way this turned out too!!

(I've seriously had this Crate Paper brad for like ever...my favorite!)

And there is the process video :)

Did you make it all the way through this post!? It was long but I hope you enjoyed it anyway!! 

I have another two parter coming up soon. Unfortunately those videos were filmed the same day and have high exposure also. So mad about it, but it's ok.. these things happen sometimes. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!

Project Life :: Little Black Dress Reveal

Today I am sharing my Project Life spread I made with the LBD Miss Maggie kit!

If you haven't read my last post yet, this spread will go to the right of the RESIN_LINK layout!

I totally love making these little cards for PL!

 And for some closeups!

Way behind on project life! I am glad I'm not really working in perfect order, this way I'm not stressed about missing a week or so! 

Come back for my last LBD post for May! Can't wait to see what June brings :)

LBD Reveal :: Project Life & Mini Notebooks

Hello!! I'm excited to not only share another Little Black Dress project(s), but my very first Project Life layout also! I know I am totally behind on Project life considering this is the only page I have finished so far:(

I have been keeping track of everything since I don't print my photos myself. So I know I will eventually catch up soon! I am also not really doing the typical "Project Life" album. Not everything is in perfect order and I don't have full double spread PL pages. I am including my full 12x12 layouts in this album so I can have all my 2013 pictures together. Hoping I can fit it all into one album! So enough of me talking/typing and onto the page! This is titled "My Girls"... my three girl dogs of course. :)

(Items not included in the kit: white cardstock, blue labels, thickers, date stamp, thread)

I did this entire page using just two papers and the adorable Freckled Fawn wood pieces! Love the grey and yellow together. And I warned you about going crazy with hearts this month! This page came together so quickly. I think the colors just inspired me on their own and I loved working with smaller "pages"

Love this paper! It is called Hopeful from the Amy Tangerine "Yes Please" line. One of my favorites!

These hearts were cut right from the yellow paper which is called Wild Hearts by the Dear Lizzy "Lucky Charm" line. I love it when you can use a full sheet on its own but also cut little elements from the page to make your own embellishments. I just stitched these on with my sewing machine (the uneven stitch was totally a mistake, but it's all good, adds character right?)

I know this is totally simple but I loved how these looked in the little 3x4 slot. Great for a filler yet adds a totally cute embellishment to the page. I was so excited to see these in the kit!!

Once again a really simple one. Just went crazy with my $1 heart punch and the cute papers. Just punched a bunch out and laid them out in a cute pattern! I thought about stitching them down but I loved the way they already looked and didn't want to take the chance of not liking it as much. 

And last for this page is a little mini notebook! I still need to write some things down in this little thing. So simple to make and adds a cute touch with lots of journaling room! I printed this label out and once again added a little heart to it! love!

So that wraps up the Project Life page. But I wanted to also share two other mini books I made using the LBD April kit! 

After making the little book for my PL page I wanted to make more! Although I don't have use for them yet I know I will have some ready to add to a page when needed! Here are the covers of the little books.

(Items not included in the kit: white cardstock, clothes pins, wood veneer heart, pink twine)

Adorable right! The yellow is probably my favorite :) Love that woodgrain!! 

And a look at the inside! I used the letter stickers from the kit to add a little something to the inside on the pages. Love how they turned out and this is a great way to use up any scraps you have! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I will have one more post using this kit with a video! :)

Have a great day!!
