What a Banana - The Sampler

Hi everyone! Today I want to share with you a project I made using the fabulous Royal Birthday Wishes  August kit from the Sampler.

 Loving the fun colors and cute stickers in this month's kit.

 The bold, graphic designs are so fun.

And went so well with Brighton dancing in his banana costume.  For our cabana champs swim meet we always have a spirit relay and this year our graduates had decided to dress as their school mascots to participate.  Of course, with Brighton going off to the University of California Santa Cruz, being a banana slug....a banana suit was just perfect.  lol

Be sure and grab your kit before they are all gone.

Disney Days - The Sampler

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you one last project with the gorgeous Simply Sweet kit from the Sampler.  I have so enjoyed playing with this kit...the colors were so fun and the patterns...oh my.  My favorite though has got to be the buttons.  Anyway......

My family recently spent a few days in Disneyland where I snapped this photo of my girls.

Bits of the gorgeous mist in the kit and the fabulous buttons highlight this layout.  I really love the "bubble paper" that was in this kit...and did I mention the buttons?  hee hee

I loved the color of the mist and couldn't resist customizing my Thickers and adding a sprinkle of them to my card stock base.  You know me and pink.  lol

Be sure and grab your Simple Sweet kit before they are gone.  And don't forget about the sketch and card challenges going on here.

Hugs.

Play Nice - The Sampler

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a new project using the Simply Sweet kit from the Sampler Kit Club.  This months kit is so super cute and I just couldn't wait to dive right in.  I love the trims, the patterns, the colors...OK, I love it all!  lol

All the gorgeous colors and designs in this kit are just perfect for these goofy photos of my girls playing Twister.  Do you remember playing Twister?  Lately the children have been having a blast with this old standby.  Of course they tried to get me to play...I have been able to resist so far.  hee hee

 I really love the "Do It Yourself" Thickers Holly has been placing in the kits.  They make title work so easy. And I loved this sketch I found over at Pagedrafts.

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out the newest kit from The Sampler.  And be sure and take a peak back at the Sampler challenge post for your chance to win some fabulous prizes.

Hugs.

Round ~ Round - The Sampler

Hi everyone!  Last week I told you about the newest kit from the Sampler, Good Tidings.  Today I wanted to share with you a layout I made with this kit using more of the "holiday" elements.

Gorgeous Studio Calico wooden snowflakes, gorgeous sugary thickers, and the most gorgeous glittery ribbon trim highlight these photos of the holiday train that runs under our Christmas Tree.

 I did add a bit of ball trim as well as the bakers twine from my stash to finish this project.

Be sure to grab your kit today in the Scrapbooking Supplies r Us store and check out the sketch and card challenges over on the Sampler blog, there are only a few days left to play!

5 Reasons - The Sampler

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you a project I made with this month's kit from the Sampler, Warm.  This is of course Mackenzie, hanging out at a swim meet.  I have had this photo on my desk for a while and thought it would be fun to scrap it with the reasons she swims.  She came up with all the things that would make me hate it...and then informed me it is a swim thing.  I guess that is code for teenager?  Anyway.....  I used a sketch from Creative Scrappers, #225.

I am loving the "do it yourself" Thickers that came in the kit.  Not only are there a ton of alphas, but there are numbers and symbols as well.  And of course I am having fun playing with the sequins, gorgeous Eclectic by Echo Park papers, and October Afternoon chipboard.

Don't forget about the card and sketch challenges that will be closing soon.  You don't need to have a kit to play, and there is a good chance you could win a prize!

A Monday Sketch

Hi everyone!  Yep, it is Monday...and after a too short, yet productive, weekend I am here to share a project I made for Heather using her latest sketch.

Such a great sketch this time and I had so much fun with it.

Brighton and Mackenzie doing their "studies" out on the table in the back yard.  It was such a beautiful morning to be spent cooped up in doors.  So they grabbed their laptops and headed for the patio.

Lots of My Mind Eye products here with a Thickers alpha thrown in.  And no...that is not Mackenzie's hair...that is a bear hat.  It even has little ears.

Well, lots to do today.  Thanks for dropping by.

Hugs.

Forever Together - The Sampler

Hi everyone!  Sorry I am a little late...I was hoping the sun would come out so I could get better photos, but the fog persists so......

Today I wanted to share with you a project I made using the new Warm kit from The Sampler kit club.  The colors and patterns in this kit are just lovely.  Add to that the mist and the mask and super fun sequins...

 I know I say this every month, but this has to be my favorite kit yet.  I used the mask with a bit of gesso to add some extra texture and of course the mist on the "do it yourself" thickers.

Don't forget about the sketch and card challenges here on The Sampler.  You don't need to have the kit to play for some fabulous prizes and you have a great chance at winning.

Hugs.
