Me Again... (HEAVY POST WARNING)

Well would you look at that - over a week and nothing and then all of a sudden, 3 posts in 3 days with a ton of layouts and projects! All or nothing right??

I thought I'd post these sooner than later just in case - dear hubby is feeling under the weather and of course I am immediately thinking H1N1... My daughter is teething like mad and as a result has a fever today (at least I hope its from teething...) so yea.... I'm a little on the stressed side and have a few more deadlines fast approaching so I do not think I will be posting much in the next week.

I wanted to share with you some layouts I did for Scrapbook News & Review's Kit Club Review of Kit 'N' Kaboodles August Kit.

This kit is SERIOUSLY amazing!! It was JAM packed full of papers, embellies, chipboard projects - definately worth its cost in paper alone! It included 2 sheets of EACH patterned paper, 2 sheets of EACH cardstock, letter stickers, 2 kinds of flowers, ribbon, glossy accents, journaling stickers, etc, etc. Just fantastic!!

I just loved how much paper was included in this kit - never once felt like I had to conserve the paper or use sparingly. This layout was THICK! Look at how many layers there are!!

Hidden journaling tag. I used a doilie and sprayed with Walnut ink and hand stitched along the corners to tie in the brown colour.



The cool leaf ribbon was so neat to work with and matched so well with the fall colours and theme of the patterned papers.

The chipboard that was included in the kit was extremely high quality. Glossy accents to it and very easy to work with as it tied in seamlessly with the papers.



Some detailing of fussy cutting (I traced some grungeboard and cut out on cardstock as I wanted to primarily use what was in the kit), stitching and masking.

Here are the letter stickers that were included with the kit. I added the glossy accents to them to give a little them a little more punch.

The journaling tags were also included and again, such high quality! Loved this kit completely!



I had quite a few pieces of cardstock leftover that I wanted to use so this is a simple layout I created using only 2 sheets of cardstock, flowers, my journaling pen and thickers. Just found that the blue and brown complimented eachother so well!

Close up of a flower that I traced and then cut out from the cardstock. A little doodling goes a long way eh?

Close up of some doodling I did. Can you see the glossy accents that I applied to the flower? It gave such a neat 'glass-like' finish - so cool! Gotta love that Swiss Dots Bazzill!

Be sure to head on over to Scrapbook News & Review to check out all of the amazing projects created by the rest of our staff who had the pleasure of working with this kit!

Enjoy the rest of your week!
