The Paperie: August's Kit

August's kit at The Paperie was filled with pastels from the Studio Calico 'heyday' line & Dear Lizzy lines by American Crafts. It was a beautiful kit and if you were lucky you might have nabbed one.

I've already blogged two layouts I made using the kit here & here but I haven't shared the others and thought that today was no better a day than any other!

This kit was perfect for the sweet colors of summer and lent itself perfectly to some old camp photos that I had lying around.



I gave each of the pictures a number using some Lawn Fawn stamps and then used the jar for my captions .



My title is actually a quote if you could see it there.'We all have to say goodbye so that we can say hello again'. I love that saying.




This one is a collage of a bunch of shots from a recent trip to the cottage in early June. This was Eugene's first road trip & we all had a blast!




These teal letters by SC were awesome. Love, love, love the color.




And the cameras-my favorite accessory. I love the wood veneers so much.



 And last but not least, I couldn't scrapbook a kit without a layout dedicated to my 'baby' boy!



Seriously though-isn't he the cutest little puppy! I used the October Afternoon diecut to house my title with a few extra letters I had on hand from Authentique (not part of the kit).




 Also, this chipboard was great and went well with the cloud punches I have from fiskars. I just drew a wobbly line around the punched clouds to match the chipboard piece.




All in all this kit was a 10/10 for me. I loved all the pieces. I never used the Dear Lizzy stamp that came with it because it was buried under the piles of stuff and I forgot about it, but it too is very cute and will get some future use for sure!

Were you able to snag a kit or any of these fabulous supplies? What have you created out of it?! LInk it up! I would love to see it!

Procrastinator Over Here

A.k.a 'my simple scrapper layouts are appearing on my blog over a week late'.

Yeah, they were supposed to be up last week but life got in the way. 'Life' has been getting in the way of blogging lately too. If you are a regular follower you might have noticed that I've been a little slack.

I'm working on a little blog revamp and that's been taking some time & frankly, I've just been too busy doing summer stuff to blog lately. Haven't really been feeling motivated either!

Anyways, here are my Simple Scrapper layouts for August.



'Face off' might be one of my favourite photos. Aren't they the cutest?!



Lots & lots of washi tape used on this layout. I created my own background here using lots of washi tape with similar color scheme.




Other than that this layout is pretty simple. I added a little badge from 'A Life Handmade'.



I figured it was time I stopped hoarding them and started using them on layouts. Do you ever do that? Hold on to supplies you love?! I'm guilty of doing it big time.

The supplies in this layout were all using the County Fair kit from SC & one add-on but the name escapes me now!

This layout celebrates Eugene's new love of swimming. I use the word 'love' loosely because frankly he only likes it for about 5 minutes because then he gets cold and he's done!



Another simple one here using all products form the County Fair kit again. The wood veneer letters were my favourite part of this kit. They are just beautiful!



Just a few captions on this layout for the journaling as well.



Summer is in full swing around here if you couldn't tell from the photos in the layouts. We're having lots of fun and we hope you are too!
