Two new scrapbook LO's!

Yet again missing that monthly mail- that box of wonderful scrapping goodness delivered straight to my door, I joined a kit club again. I asked scrapping friends for recommendations and then browsed around many kit clubs, and decided on  Burlap and Buttercups.  (I *heart* the name, too!). I got my first kit like a week and a half ago. It also came with LO sketches, too, which is what this top one is based on.  I created this LO immediately upon receiving my kit, actually.  My ds when he was brand new!  He's 7 1/2 now.... :0  I added some Martha Stewart  cardboard stickers (rocket/stars), but everything else is from the kit.  I've also posted recent cards having used some papers and embellies from the kit...   so fun.  I've been trying to save it for LO's, not cards, but...... as long as I use it, it's all good, right?  :)
 I created this LO last night, which I kind of followed the same sketch by accident.  funny. I just loved these papers and the colors were perfect for these photos, I thought.  I picked up those thickers the other day while at Joann's with my future fall LO's in mind, but they, too, were perfect for this LO.  I also used some pleated ribbon I had from my stash to create the ribbon top to go on that Studio Calico cardstock sticker. I sewed!  sort of....  at any rate, that's still shocking.  I bent my needle too (that's not shocking.).  HAHA.    I also used some other ribbon from my stash.....   (including wasabi ribbon from A Muse Studio that I recently won on their challenge blog.  It's such a pretty color).
Thus far I am very pleased with my first kit.  I still have tons of paper....

  2. Great layouts with your first kit!! I can't believe that's your boy, he was so little! I guess they all start out that little, don't they.

    Love the 2nd LO, too. I like the paper tearing and the ribbon!

  9. Oh Vanessa, I love them both. Both have such wonderful details, and the papers pulled from the colors of the papers to match perfectly is a lovely touch! How fast they grow - I'm currently scrapping backwards, too, lol but what a wonderful legacy you are creating :) Blessings!!
