Scrap That! "Love Notes" Kit

Oh my goodness is all I have to say about the FEB Scrap That! kit. The papers (Glitz - Love Nest and Fancy Pants - Lilac House) and a perfect combo of versatile and rich colors for feminine or masculine layouts for any season. Pick your poison, blue, green, pink, brown or yellow! You can go rustic, vintage, funky - anything goes with this kit!

In my first layout "Love", this is my daughter at one year... a candid shot taken by a friend. That cute little birdcage? A Glitz stamp INCLUDED in the kit add-on. Everything in this layout except the doily is from the kit. Fabulous "what nots" tags and dies cuts, Prima flowers (I glimmer misted the large one to get a darker pink) and bling plus that AWESOME stamp! Oh and this is my take on LG's sketch from this kit too - love her sketches!

Design Tip: Use single pearls to enhance stamped images and "bring them to life".

In my second layout "Remember Cuba", this is hubby with my first son at 9 months old on our trip to Cuba. The picture was taken with a film camera, so I just used the original image since I had doubles printed out. Not the best picture but a great memory (which is more important to me). Again the tags and dies cuts are so fantastic in this kit. There is chunky chipboard too that I painted green. I used an oval frame from a past kit and painted it to match, using the Ranger crackle paint from the September kit. I also used the Color Room Palette 42 as inspiration for this.

Design Tip: Use any flourish stamp and the watermark ink pad (ink pad INCLUDED in the main kit!) as a guide to follow along with liquid pearls of choice for an easy handmade bling flourish. I used my Inkadinkado Dot Flourishes that I got on sale for $10 at Michaels. So fast and easy!

My third layout "Carefree" is one of the very few pictures we have of my husband as a child. This perfectly captured his carefree spirit. I used the JAN. Dusty Attic sketch and snuck a chipboard piece on there - it is not part of the kit (everything else is, including the awesome music sheet and Prima flowers). I love the fact that there are always 3 perfectly coordinated plain pieces of cardstock in every kit for backgrounds.

Design Tip: Simply use chalk ink on bare chipboard for an easy, beautiful matte finish.
