Graduation Advice - the Sampler and Zutter

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a little mini album I made using my April kit from the Sampler and my Zutter Bind-it-All.  One of my son's best friends is graduating next month so I made this little mini album for him.  It is full of advice that is most often attributed to Bill Gates.  (I found the list here)


I love the neutral colors in this kit and the mix of alphabets in the kit made for great title work.

 Oh, and the gorgeous fabric tape.....

 and brads....

 I used lots of fussy cutting to embellish my pages.  I really love how I can make anything into a mini album with the help of my Bind-it-All.

Don't forget, yesterday we posted the new sketch and card challenges on the Sampler blog.  You don't want to miss your chance to win some fabulous prizes.  Be sure and check it out.  


And, before I go....How about another sneak at the June kit from the Sampler...

I know I can't wait for mine.


And check out my project over on the Bind-it-All blog.  A fun little wine journal.


Hugs.

Cruising with The Sampler

Hi everyone!   I hope you are having a great day!  I can't believe how fast time is flying these days.  School is almost over and I am planning our summer vacation.  What?  I haven't even come close to scrapping all of last years summer vacation.  lol  Like that will ever happen.

Anyway.....Today I wanted to share with you a layout I did using the April kit from The Sampler.  I know, I keep going on about how much I love this kit, and I do.  It has been so versatile.  A Book of Me page, pictures of Ainsley and Lili playing in the yard, and today....

The view of Ketchikan, Alaska from aboard the Disney Wonder.  It was quite an overcast day, but the town was beautiful none the less.  And these papers from the April Sampler kit worked just perfectly.  Lots of different textures and soft colors.....sigh.  And you know how much I love the resins and trinkets.

This Friday The Sampler is hosting a blog hop...a little sampler of The Sampler.  So be sure to check in here.  I will have a great prize to give away (as will all the designer's on the hop).  So, be sure to check us out at our new blog.

Well, back to work...

Hugs.

Tuesday's with the Sampler

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you a project I made using the April kit from The Sampler.  I love the beautiful teals, creams and blues in this months kit, and the bits of burlap, canvas and lace make me so happy.  And the Prima resin flowers and trinkets....swoon.  I think this has to be my favorite kit yet (and yes...I know I say that every month).

Here we have my youngest and my niece playing on a blanket in the yard.  They are so cute together...the seven year age difference means absolutely nothing to them.  lol

I used a mask with a bit of red mist on the canvas that was included in the Sampler kit to bring some red to my layout...since the girls were playing with the red blanket.  This kit has such great neutrals it can go with everything!  (wait till you see what else I made.  **big grin**)

 Look at that lace...and those gorgeous resins....

And baker's twine!  Oh my!!!!  How I love this kit from the Sampler.

Well, it is back to work around here.  Be sure and swing by the new Sampler blog here.  We have lots of goodies planned in the works.

Hope you are having a great day.

Hugs.
