When I get my kit and add-ons (flower and embellie add-on) I start by laying everything out on our large kitchen table (because my scraproom is too much of a mess to have room for all the goodies in this kit), and just take everything in for a while. I then start planning my layouts, and I do so combining the papers two and two (or three sometimes) and then add embellishment to go with them. When I start creating I usually mix everything up again, but the first plan is somewhere in my head. I just love the endless possibilities with these kits!!

 

I usually start with the sketch layout, but this month I actually scrapped the sketch last.

 

The sketch this month:

 

 

Here's my take on the sketch:

 

 

 

I used the frames from Cosmo Cricket, from the embellie add-on, for my photos. The background paper is from Blue Fern Studios and just Beautiful! I also adore the pearl branches from Martha Stewart (from the embellie add-on). I added some flowers from my own stash (because I used up most of the kit flowers on  my other pages - you can see that below!)

 

A couple of close-ups:

 

 

Next, a layout for the All that flutters-challenge:

 

 

I adore pink and gray together and this layout is all about those colors! I have used the stencil from the Medium add-on (butterflies) with clear gesso and mists (pink, gray and purple).

 

All the  flowers used for this layout (except a couple of purple roses) are from the main kit or flower add-on. I adore the flower layers from Petaloo - just amazing!

 

The chipboard flower from Dusty Attic i cut into two pieces, painted them white and layered the under the paper pieces. I then decorated with charms from a previous kit.

 

My next layout is a scalloped shaped one, with a photo of one of our darling cats:

 

 

I have layered three papers from Fabscraps after cutting them and distressing the edges. I have also painted the edges with gesso and texture paste, to get a real shabby look.

 

I have used the Picket Fence chipboard piece from Blue Fern Studios (embellie add-on). The Petaloo berry clusters are from the flower add-on.

 

The title, Love Completely, is from Dusty Attic.

 

And my final layout with this totally stunning kit:

 

 

Lots of layering, circles in the background are from the stencil in the Medium add-on.

 

 

Thank you for stopping by today!
