What a Sweetheart!

Ok, so I couldn't wait! I had to dig my new Sweetheart Workshop On The Go kit out last night and do a layout. Buying this kit was a no-brainer for me because, as anyone who knows my daughter can attest to, she is all about pink and there are 3 different shades of pink in this kit! I knew I'd have a stack of photos that would co-ordinate. And maybe it's because I actually planned in advance for once in my life and knew which photos I was going to use, but using the kit was super easy!
I have to admit, I wasn't in love with the layout provided in the kit, plus it required a 6x6 photo and I was planning to use already printed 4x6 photos, so I did a different layout. However, the entire thing is still done with the papers, stamp set and embellishments that came in the kit. It had everything I needed to put together this two-page layout of Cassie's first experience jumping in puddles.
Best of all - it only used a fraction of the paper, so I still have a ton of options for further layouts! Stay tuned for more artwork featuring this kit!

Thinking of ordering the Miracle Workshop On The Go?

Well, let me inspire you! I used this super versatile paper pack to create this layout from our family trip to Fairmont in July 2009. My mom shot a bunch of pics of us in the pool, most of which were taken from a distance, making them perfect candidates to cut down. I found a layout incorporating a bunch of smaller square photos in the Imagine book and got to work. The greens, browns and blues of the paper pack go great with these pool shots, as they would with any outdoor summer fun-type photos! Enjoy!

Happy scrappin'!

February Challenge

Well, we have to give accolades to the ever-organized Daina Ully, who actually managed to scrapbook something from Christmas 2010 for January's challenge! Yaaaayyyyyy Daina! Here's a photo of her layout:

Now, on to February! Did you know that the two least used colours in scrapbooking are purple and grey? The talented Kari at Embellished Memories told me that. So, for February, let's use them! I'd like to see layouts, cards, whatever you feel like creating, in purple, grey or both!
Happy Scrappin'!
