April kit layouts
Oh ladies (and gents), this one is BRIGHT. This one is FUN. This one is double sided and has a lot of opportunity. Think outside the box for this one :) If bright colours scare you like they do to me (lol) use them in smaller doses. I didnt use full sheets on these. I wanted the pictures to stand out.
Thanks for looking! Hope you have a great day!

Melanie's March DT layouts
Ok you will notice that neither of my layouts here and at the store have photos on them. Well, the one layout is going to be for photos of my friends and some of them do not want their pictures to be on the blog or up at the store. Fair enough....I will add those in later. The other is bc I havent had a chance to print N's 3month photo yet. I am getting behind on his pictures! Bad bad auntie!
Thanks for looking!
All of us at Embellished with you and your family a very "hoppy" and safe Easter!

More kit love from Ronni
I loved this kit, and found it easy to create so many things. My card is adorable (if I do say so myself, lol) Just some leftover cardstock and patterned paper, and a little lace thrown in for fun!
And this last one... LOVED LOVED LOVED the polka dot patterned paper. I matted Bob's pic on brown c/s, and added that to bits and pieces of patterned paper. Punched out some hearts and butterflies. The journal block in the one sheet of patterned paper made for an excellent title. I cut out some of the flowers and pop dotted them in the top left corner too. Fun stuff, no?And speaking of fun stuff!!! Oh! My! Gosh! I stopped in at Embellished last night! Have you seen the new Tim Holtz stuff??! I loved it all! I fondled it all! I bought a lot of it! There were bingo chip numbers! And new letter stickers! And mixed media stickers! Binder rings!Just drool worthy fun stuff! I'm thinking I want some of the pen nibs and the pocket watch, but alas! I had to get my taxes done. *sad face* Lol
Anyways, enjoy the winter wonderland that is spring today. I'm hoping to go off on a shooting spree of the photographic kind today, if I don't have to be up to my knees in slush. See you again soon, cause I can't wait to show you what I want to do with that new Timmy stuff!

More kit...
Hey my scrappy friends, how are ya'll today? Ready to see more of my kit stuff?
With this one, I inked the edges of the red c/s, and cut an artsian shape out of the numbered patterned paper. I painted the dots with black paint, and adhered them randomly. Using some stickles, I highlighted the "one" on the patterned paper. I matted the picture of the birthday balloons on black c/s, and added some buttons (my stash) to the corners. A bow and a stapled journal box detailing my nephew's first b-day, and it was done. :)
This one too, is one of my favourites, even though it's relatively simple. Some cut out squares (that I stamped on and added buttons to from my stash), a rectangle, and a photo matted on blue c/s are draw your eye to the photo. The chipboard key is also from my stash, and I heat embossed it with gold, and inked it up a bit. I loved the yellow ribbon, but originally it was too wide to tie around the end of the key, so I trimmed a little piece, and used that. I had a leftover piece of patterned paper that I had punched butterflies from, and liked it, and added it. I stamped on the journalling, sorry it's so faint to read! It says: You're just my type. (even if you do shoot canon) I'm always teasing Bob about our camera choices. I'm an Olympus girl in love with a Canon boy. Lol. Maybe I'll be able to convert him one day. Lol.
So there you go, stay tuned for more this week. :)

Ronni's kit pages
Looks like spring is finally coming, doesn't it? About time! Lol!
Are you curious to see what I did with this kit? It honestly was one of my very favourite set of papers that we've had to date. I made so much with it!
For this page of my daughter, I cut out a scalloped border out of black cardstock, and added it to the right side, topped with some red buttons (my stash). I covered some of the circles with blue cardstock, and inked the edges. A few bows of the red ribbon finished them nicely. I did up my title from my stash of letter stickers, and cut out a journal box from the patterned paper. Simple, but I love it!
This sweet little girl is my boyfriend's niece, Taylor. Isn't she cute? I matted her photo on black cardstock with a small small border, and then matted that on the brown. I made the best bowtie I've ever made in my life and tied it onto the matting. I punched out some photo corners and some butterflies, and dazzled them up with some pearls (my stash). I used some Tim Holtz letters, and traced them and cut them out. I used one of the ticket stubs under the title to add a little interest and journaled right onto the page.
So there's the first bit of my take on the kit, more to follow this week!

Besides the courier man, and myself you will be the first to know when it arrives. So can't wait... & I guess if the weather isn't very good, then we have reason to come shop & scrap.
