This layout was creating by Courtney  using our November main kit. I love the simplicity of this layout yet the mix of pattern papers give it lots of dimension... plus that  picture just makes me smile.. thanks Courtney!  .

 

 

 

I was so excited when Ali sent me this card.. I LOVE how she used the entire note sheet for the front of the card! What a FABULOUS idea! For the base of the card, she used just a portion of the scalloped eyelet paper from Bazzill. The great thing about that is then she still had more than half the sheet left over to use on layouts! .

 

 

Here is another fun project from Ali.. this also using the November main kit. This time she created dang cute but simple layout by hand cutting out the flowers from one of the floral papers and placing them onto the page using pop dots. She also used the 7gypsies chipboard raw (with no color added)  and I love how it ties in with her background and the brown in the flowers and creates a very urban feel.

 

 

and finally, I know so many of you ask why I don't do layouts with the kits each month for the gallery... and to be completely honest.. the main reason I seem to shy away from it is because I get so intimated by my own Artist team.. they are so dang talented...  I am not sure I can keep up! LOL.. but I wanted to create something with the Velvet Kiss kit this month because I LOVE this kit. I love the fun blend of patterns and embellishments that are in this kit. They truly are different with a very regal feel... and like one of my customers said "the pictures don't do this kit justice". I especially loved the velvet rubons from 7gypsies in this kit and  I wanted to wanted to show you more how to use them. I created some step by step instructions and you can view them by clicking below. .

Shank Buttons!
As many of you know, most of our November kit included shank buttons in them. Shank buttons are smooth on top (no holes) and have a loop on the back instead. I love Shank buttons because they remind me of really cool looking brads (without the brad of course)... kind of like a "faux" brad.
One little trick I like to do with my shank buttons though, is the cut of the back, use a glue dot to attach it, so my button lays flat... thus giving it the look of a decorative brad. Here are some step by step picture of how I do it. I found a small wire cutter works really well for cutting the backs off the buttons. Hope this info helps!

 
 
 
 

Who doesn't love a sneak peek! Well as you know, we love to include exclusive stamps in our kits and this month's main kit stamp is a 2 in 1 stamp! You get a decorative frame stamp that can also be used as a journaling block, as well as an oval ledger stamp with fun flourishes!

This month we have a VERY special add-on kit you won't want to miss. If you are thinking about "giving" this holiday season, this is the perfect gift and here's why... A few weeks ago, I was catching up with an old friend who had moved to Washington. She told me was telling me all about her new adventure and the wonderful people she and her family had met. One friend in particular caught my attention.  She told me about Rochelle, who is a young mother and fellow scrapbooker... and was  recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She has 3 small children and at the time of her diagnosis, did not have insurance. I can't even imagine going through something so life changing along with having the stress of thinking about how to pay for all of your hospital bills, chemotherapy and many other things Rochelle needed.. but she is one strong and positive lady!

I felt so strongly that there must be something I can do.. what WE as a scrapbooking community can do.. so this is where the "giving" comes in. I have pulled together some of the hottest products in our industry, donated by of course the hottest companies in our industry..  that make this kit ROCK. These kits will sell for $10.50 each  (with a retail value of over $20.00) and the entire proceeds of each kit sold go directly to help Rochelle and her family and their rising medical bills. 

So not only can you purchase a fabulous kit to give to a friend, a relative, a teacher. (heck give them all one)... . BUT when you do, you will be giving to Rochelle as well.

You can read more about her story here..
