Tally Scrapper January Kit

Oh my, oh my! The January Kit from Tally Scrapper is just too beautiful for words! Jenni Bowlin, 7 Gypsies and so many gorgeous elements - it just screams shabby chic to the max!

I only received my kit a few days ago but have managed to create a few layouts thus far. The first is based on Sketch #2 over at the Tally blog.


Here's my take:
My dear daughter in her glory! LOVES to dance and can't help but get up and go crazy once she hears any kind of music!

Extra Materials Added to Kit:
Cardboard
Cardstock
Burlap

I actually used the box that the kit was shipped to me in and painted around the edges to match the cream stripes in the patterned paper.

I just loved how the 2 sides of this paper were so different from one another. I HAD to show both sides so just curled up the edges a little here and there to reveal the gorgeous red polka dots!



My beloved paper roses - I think they will be here to stay! I just can't get away from them - an especially great idea if you are in need of more matching embellies for your projects.


My second layout features a gorgeously elegant die cut from Jenni Bowlin.

I wanted to jazz up the edges of the die cut a little so I punched strips of cardstock with my martha doily punch and then just folded around the edge and inked afterwards. I used the Jenni Bowlin packaging that the buttons came in and just painted over the writing.

OOOHHH - Just look at that gorgeous Prima bling!!!

In the kit there is a gorgeous mask but I couldn't find a way for it to fit without overpowering the daintyness of the layout. I decided to cut it out and use it as flourishes on my flowers.
