Turning 59 - 2012

I've started a new class at Big Picture Classes called Kit-tastic.  It's all about making your own kits from your scrappy supplies or using existing kits. I have so many, I thought it would inspire me to use some of them up.

This layout encompasses 2 of the challenges this first week - contrast and a sketch (by Valerie Salmon). I used the SSZ May kit - which includes the Heidi Swapp - No Limits line of paper. 

This is a photo of me and my brother who was in town the day of my birthday. We spent the whole morning and early afternoon together and he treated me to breakfast AND lunch.  We spent most of the time downtown at the market.  The other two photos are of curried shrimp (yum) what I had for dinner with DH and the beautiful flowers he gave me.

I've started up my monthly Close to My Heart Workshop on the Go and did two 2-page layouts using this kit.

The first is of Hampton Beach, NH where we were staying only a few days ago.  What a beautiful spot!

The second layout is of our beautiful niece's wedding shower that I went to in July.

 

 

 

SSZ - September kit

This was SUPPOSED to be my last kit as design team member for ScrapShotz, but I've been extended for another month.

I did three layouts and 3 cards (not shown).

This first one, based on the sketch is my very first school class photo.  It was taken at l'Ecole internationale in France. I am the first kid seated in the bottom row. 

The 2nd one is my sister and I in France.

The last one is of my great-niece (plus her Barbie and Ken dolls) who was here for a visit a couple of weeks ago.  This layout was lifted from one in the recent Creating Keepsakes magazine.
