Fall-ish Layouts

Some more shares. All used Scenic Route Halloween papers, some Bazzill and a few strips of KI. A paper pack complete with letters and embellisments go a long way.

Sharing time...

As promised, I'm back to share some of the pages I have been working on. My style is simple and fast with the photos as the focus of my layouts. Without further ado...

Glimmer mist adds just the right amount of color and look to the white cardstock background. New item in my store for 2010 :)

Lily Bee Design 3 Little Birds paper and rub-ons...so pretty and just right for this layout. The boy is having his very first phone conversation with a classmate :)

Two very simple layout. Rubons and paper...just right.

October Afternoon papers, American Crafts Thickers, KI Memories Lace apples...all thrown together to highlight a beautiful afternoon at the apple orchard.

*New* Flower-soft

FLOWER-SOFT: Flower Soft is an amazing pot of coloured sprinkles, that allows you to create text, designs and miniature floral embellishments. Flower Soft is acid free and is loved by card makers and scrap-bookers alike. Of course Flower Soft also makes fabulous, realistic plants for dolls houses. (taken from their website)Got some in for the store and I just had to play with it and came up with this card. Love the 3D look of the flowersoft on the card...looks so real. I'm still figuring it out and looking for ways to integrate it in my layouts. While you're here, become a follower and check back often.

Have a Scrappy Day :)

Page kit with bonus layout

Another page kit ready to go. This one is going for $12...you get a 2 page spread PLUS a 1 page bonus layout.

Page Kits are here!!!!!!

As promised...I have 2 page kits to debut today. I know boy themed scrappy pages and products are pretty hard to come by. When I got a hold of Basic Grey's Archaic line, I immediately fell in love with it but didn't have quite the right photos. Do you do that? Save your papers for the right pics? After a summer full of adventure, I finally had the perfect pictures to go with the papers. And so inspired by these pics, I present to you, *drum roll please*.... "Outdoor Adventures" and "I Dig Dirt".In honor of 09-09-09, the kits are $9.99 each (future kits will retail at $12 each).
Each kit includes:

• Materials pre-cut and ready for assembly.
• A color printout of the layout for ease of assembly.
• Paper piecing materials are pre-pieced and pre-stickied.
• Ribbon and photo corners are also pre-stickied.
• *bonus* A set of letter stickers so you can change the title to suit your needs.

Tax and shipping to you is not included.
Shipping will be $4.99 per order for up to 2 kits.
If you would like to place an order for pick-up or delivery at a crop, you'll save on shipping.
If you have a few friends in your area that are interested, I can combine shipping and throw a bunch into a flat rate box for $9.
Limited kits available. First paid, first served. Accepting cash, checks or cc.
Email me at sluvs2skrap@yahoo.com to purchase.

It's been too long!

I finally scrapped today. And I have to admit, it's been too long. This summer has been a busy one even though we weren't jetting around the world. We did something everyday and even the days we just stayed home, I didn't venture into my scrap cave at all. Today...the boys set of for the 4th day of school and I crawled into my scrap cave and scrapped :) It made me happy, nothing like cutting paper, playing with tape runners, inks and ribbons. I now have 2 layout kits to go but have some fine tuning to do before I debut them. Check back in tomorrow!!!

Can't post without a layout so I'll leave you with the last layout I did before my month long hiatus from scrapping.Happy Scrappin'
