Tis the Season to be Jolly

Hello :)

This is the last kit I'm posting for now. I didn't just scrap kits all this time, I alternated with scrapping my own designs, but I just went ahead and posted all the kit layouts first.

This is a Basic Grey kit of the month layout I think. I picked it up at the last Lorado crop in March. The felt ornaments are darling.  I scrapped 2013 holiday pics on it. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

2 of Us Together Making Memories kit

Greetings all!

This layout is from a Basic Grey kit of the month kit. I bought it at Lorado for $5. I'm going to put wedding pictures on it.

This last Lorado was 3 days long, and at one point I was feeling uninspired and unmotivated. When that happens, I pull out a kit and work on that, it usually jump starts me! (which it did!)  The kit is pretty but it was not a paper collection I would have bought, which is even better that I only had to do one layout with it. I like the layout and it will go well with wedding pics. :)

Thanks for visiting. :)

Banjara

Hello everyone!Today I have for you a layout of me and my dance troupe doing a dance I created back in 2006.

This layout is for the Left of Center challenge blog I design for. This time I wanted to do the alternative challenge of using punches, so I've used a border punch that is a design similar to my "door" frame.  The punch is from EK.  The font is the Cricut cartridge Jasmine, the "door" frame is from the Cricut cartridge Disney Princesses Dreams Come True (page 70, I used the base cut but hid the cuts inside the frame with my gypsy), behind the door frame is a pattern from the cartridge Paper Lace 2. The filmstrips are cut from Mickey and Friends, sized on my gypsy to fit the mini photos I printed (printed at 2x3, 4 to a 4x6 print); these mini pics are several shots of the dance as we were doing it, lifted from the video my hubby took.

I used Basic Grey's Marrakech line of papers from several years ago, obviously from my stash. :) I also had some bling in my stash that I used. There are 6 shiny circles on the pages, those are "shisha" mirrors... tiny mirrors that have been encircled by thread. Shisha are a common clothing embellishment of costumes from India, which our costumes are based on and many of us had lots of shisha on our clothing. I had some bags of these mirrors left over from making costumes and I knew I had to use a few of them on the layout.
