August 10 2010... Scrap~tures Monthly Reveal

I know I say this all the time.. but I so love these kits... August scrapbook kit has got to be my all time favourite.. and with it being BoBuny helps for sure.... but it was so fun to work with to showcase my boys... this Block Party kit is top notch... as well as it being BoBunny it was also Scrap~tures first ever Deluxe kit option.. which means there was some added goodies if you wanted them.. of course I wanted them.. more goodies for me to learn to create with the better... in the deluxe kit there was a Clearsnap Spritz Spray, Block Party Jewels... and a 1/2 pgk of Tim Holtz Idiology Alphabet Soup Grungebard...all that went really well with this kit.... and here is what I did with this kit....





For this layout "a closer view"... it is a self portrait of my oldest boy.. I love how his eyes just pop... and then of course being able to see part of his cheeky smile.. I love it.. what a better way to show "a closer view" of him then with this paper.. I used 2 of the Party Notes as part of my background... so many different ways to use them and this is one of them...... and then I sprayed the grudgeboard with the Spritz spray... and then used the Ranger Inksentials white pen (included in the kit) to outline the letters.. and it made them POP!!! I also sprayed the card stock with the Spritz as well to add to the layout....




bubbles Layout I used a sketch... from Creative Scrappers #114 as soon as I saw the sketch I knew I had to try it with this kit.. and it worked so well... although I added more photos.. that is the beauty of sketches... they are so easy to make your own....






Soccer Star Layout I used another sketch this one is from Sarah's Sketches collection..... all of her sketches can be found at http://redoaklines.com/sketches/ I used #6...all I did was flip it so I had my photos at the top.. and it worked so well with this kit.. the stars to boot....





This has to be my favourite layout out of this kit... I love the I was able to showcase my boys... together like this.. in "The Brother Club"....this photo showcases the fun relationship my boys have with each other... and this kit is a great way to preserve these memories. to create the embellishment on the top right corner I layered the circles that are included in the chipboard set something that I just thought of really.. me.. just thought of...



I still have lots left... but ran out of time for the reveal.. but this will be certainly a kit with nothing left.. that I can guarantee....


and now .....
The Card Kit this month featured WRMK - Vintage Blue I loved being able to use this "card kit" to create this layout... I used the dandelion stamp to create the image appear as if it is being blown off the page.... and for my card.... I kept it simple with a little fussy cutting and added a Happy Birthday stamped image... but I flocked it.. yupp I flocked it.. I love how flock just adds the little extra to an image.. I know it is hard to see but trust me in real life... it is pretty....
