October 2010 Scraptures Reveal

I seem to be saying this every 10^th of the month…but I so can't believe how quickly it arrives…. So…here is my reveal of the Scrap~tures October 2010 Kits… I loved the colours of the SEI Moonrise paper… and all the added extras this scrapbook kit sure was full of fun…….here is a layout I did with using a Creative Scrappers Sketch Number 123 http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com/2010/09/sketch-123.html

And another Layout…. The sayings in the kit said it all when it came to the picture I took of my son Kevin….

I really loved the metal embellishments that also came in this kit… almost too pretty to use… so instead of putting it in a layout…I saw this bookmark on another site and thought mmmm this is a good way for me to see this embellishment all the time… so I created one myself….all I did was loop a ribbon through the centre and tied a knot on each end...and done... a bookmark...

I also created a card using the SEI Moonrise paper and then incorporated the Stamp Set that was in the Card Kit….here is the card…yupp I created my own embellishments…using the microbeads and some glue dots….

Up next is a layout I created with yet another sketch using the Card Kit……this sketch was from PageMaps in the October 2010 release ..... http://www.pagemaps.com/

I still have tons of product left to use in both kits… so stay tuned…for more layouts and Ideas…..

Reveal Day...

Wow I so can not believe that it is reveal day already the 10th of September but where oh where did our summer go....right spending it on the soccer field yupp every night we are at the soccer field coaching or cheering...or both...with boys with an age gap like we do...they are not on the same nights... so with a game and a practise each week...that meant we were at the field mon-thus ohhhh but if there was a rain out game...we would have a friday game as well and that occurred a few times this summer....grrrrrr Soccer is all over as of this Saturday.. because of course both of our boys are in the championship....one at 9:30 and the other at 11:45 all day at the field....
oh well enough babbling about that... you would think with all this time on the soccer field that I would have a few layouts of soccer...well nope...I guess I am just all soccered out... LOL!!! but there will be some soon I promise... I can not forget about the summer of 2010....

On to Scraptures September kits....the scrapbook kit was fun regardless of them not being about soccer...The Girls Paperie On Holiday line and even though I don't have girls (LOL) it was fun to create with it.. and here is on of my layouts from the kit....


love the Ranger - Crackle Paint that was included in the deluxe kit... certainly gives great texture to the title...

Here is another layout titled Walk with us... that I created using the kit... and of course it is also a sketch challenge in the forum so check it out here to see what you have to do to possibly win a prize....

http://www.scraptures.ca/forum/index.php?topic=511.0

Ohhh and also included in the deluxe kit was a Maya Road triangle canvas album or a chipboard album... I got the canvas album.. and I decided to make a banner out of it.. and here it is.....of course it is using the crackle paint... I love how when the paint dried the canvas curled a little... and of course just that little bit of crackle....

the banner spells out SMILES - and of course if you get the card kit... the stamp set included in the card kit is Insightful Meadow By Unity Stamp.... and one of the sayings that comes with it is....smiles are proof of everyday miracles and my boys are proof of my everyday miracles... and I stamped that saying on the last S... here are the close ups of the letters.... I used the alphas that came with the kit and versa marked them.. and used the white embossing powder that came with the card kit....

for more of what I did with the card kit...here is my layout BEAUTY.... another saying that was in the set was....all our knowledge has it origin in our perceptions...and how perfect for my perception on beauty... sitting in the Mountains in PA USA on vacation watching the trees turn...and of course my boys fishing... but this is true beauty... our world.. and of course vacation......I did a lot of distressing in the layout which is hard to see but even the photo is distressed... and the letters too... The image I stamped with Versa mark first and then used some chalk to help it stand out off of the cardstock...

the card kit came with something that I have never seen before.. it was gold butterfly dazzles... and they have holes in them so you can stitch them for an added technique... so of course I tried it.. it did not take long at all.. and then of course I had to chalk the floss because I only had white... so the chalk added to it even more.. and helped match the layout better...

I used a lot of things for the card kit and the scrapbook kit together this time around... and it helped because it all seem to go really well together... and to me that is the beauty of kits... YEAH!!! I love kits... another A + in my eyes.... can't wait to get my hands on the next kit...
