August SOD kit reveal



Our August kit is named after one of our wonderful designers, Kathy Mosher, and I think it's the perfect kit for Kathy, I know she will have beautiful projects to share with us this month!
We've combined two fabulous collections in this kit, BoBunny's Heritage, and Kaisercraft's new Botanica collections.  Then we added some sweet elements from Prima (check out those Evita butterflies - they're to die for!), Blue Fern Studios, Ranger, Vintaj, and Offray ribbon.  
We've also got some must have add on this month, all carefully chosen to work perfectly with the main kit.
Our Patterned Paper add on is an extra set of the double sided papers in the Main Kit.  Perfect if you want to be able to use both sides of those gorgeous papers:
If you love paper (and who doesn't?!), our Coordinating Paper add on is for you!  It includes 2 each of 5 different double sided papers that are NOT in the main kit, but that will coordinate with the main kit:
  

Our Creativity Add On is a Technique/Project/Mixed Media add on, and this month, it's all about metal:
And then there's the Elements Add On - who doesn't need more embellishments?!
Our Floral Add On is just that -- Flowers!

And last, but not least, we have the Cardstock Add On - you get 2 sheets each of 3 different colors of My Colors heavyweight (80lb) card stock.
 

Thanks for stopping by!

Celebrating Sisters

Good Morning!

Today I get to share two of my newest layouts I created using the gorgeous 
Scraps Of Darkness July kit 'Tracey's Artful Adventure'

Both these projects celebrate having a sister.

First up is a layout about my beautiful granddaughters!
I used the Bo Bunny Penny Emporium papers from the kit and paper add on.


They look so happy to just be sisters!





The flowers are from the kit, floral add on and from the store!




I used a stencil, some modeling paste then painted it using Shimmerz Inklingz
I also added some glass beads and gesso!




I added the glass beads and gesso to the flowers and the Prima metal angel wings from the
Embellishment add on.  I used the Kaisercraft letters from the main kit for the title!

The next layout is of my beautiful sister and I!


I used the Bo Bunny Emporium papers for this one too!  I misted some doilies using Lindy's mists from previous kits.




I used the chipboard sticker for my title and the lace is from a previous kit




I love the canvas corp tissue paper and the pretty butterfly!


I created this cluster with flowers from the add on, the kit and the store!
The pretty cameo is from the element add on!

Thanks for stopping by!

My sweet grandaughter

Good morning!

Our beautiful granddaughters live very far away from us
but their mom is very sweet and makes sure she shares as many photos as she can so we
can see them grow!

I so love the look on Gina's face in this one.
She is so sweet!
And the Scraps Of Darkness 'Sindi's Summer Day' kit was perfect for this photo!


I did a lot of tearing and inking - and it was fun to do a more feminine layout.


The flowers from the add on, the kit and some from my stash and along with a misted doily made a wonderful cluster!
I used the stencil from the elements add on with some molding paste and then sprinkled some embossing powder from a previous kit then heat set it to add some shine and texture.





I added a little gesso & ink to the chipboard elements from the elements add on


The chipboard title says it all - she is beautiful!

My first two layout with the 'Sindi's Summer Day' kit!

Good morning and Happy Canada day!


I wanted to share a couple of layouts I created using the 
Scraps Of Darkness 'Sindi's Summer Day' kit!

The first one was inspired by the name of this kit!
I had to create a 'summer day' page!


I just adore this photo of Cody.  Our boys love being at the beach and I can always get a few good shots!


The heart is too adorable!  Its from the Floral add on!


I did a lot of layers with the Websters Pages papers!  Inked the edges and misted some doilies with Lindys Stamp Gang mist from a previous kit!  The Petaloo butterflies were from the Elements add on!


Those American Crafts tags are so cute!  I added a couple of the wood veneers and it is the perfect title!

My next layout I wanted to be fun and bright like the American Crafts Papers!


The adorable kids are our goofy son Tyler and our silly niece Alicia!  They were really enjoying being funny together!


I created a little banner and did a floral cluster!


I added a few gems from a previous kit!



In the color add on are the wonderful color lab sparkling pigments!  They are very cool!
I wet my brush and dipped it the powder and then painted the wood hearts!
