A challenge

I'm starting a challenge today September 9, 2008 - Use this month's kit to create layouts, cards or projects and you're name will go into a drawing for.... an October kit!

To participate submit photos of your images for me to put up on the blog. I want to see what people are doing with these kits! You have until October 5th and my one of my boys will draw a random name on October 6th.

September layouts

I went out side the box with these Passport papers & embellishments. I dug out some BC (before children) Disney pictures to scrap more adult oriented pages.

You all know how I love alphabet stamps and these Making Memories stamps are fab (not included in kit) for titles. They ink up beautifully and leave a bold impression. I cut strips of papers to create a frame around the page, inked the edges with Distress Faded Jeans ink. The circle frame is from a Quickutz Cookie Cutter circle die.



More Quickutz circles and QK Aquarius alphabet diecuts that are in the kit.


Two cards using up scraps.


Most of my pages incorporate pieces of pattern paper on solid cardstock as the base. This lets me connect multiple pages in a scrapbook together without having to clearly state that the pages & photos are from the same holiday.


I cut off a strip from the "Stripe" paper to use it as a journaling block, to work with the pink purse I cut a strip of pink paper & scalloped the edges.




These pictures were taken during the Epcot Flower & Garden show hence the cut-out flower. I used a small section of the pom-pom ribbon as an accent to the title box. Notice how I have the picture on the left facing into the page, this show movement across the page.


September's kit

September kit will make you pull out those travel pictures.


A little sneak.


Tactile embellishments, I'm loving that red pom-pom ribbon/fiber stuff.
