I'm starting over. I love the aspect of a new year, a clean slate, a new beginning. So I started a new blog. I'm hoping to get myself organized in life, in finances, in faith and in the hobbies that I love. I told myself that I need to spend less and save more. I need to go back to church. I need to lose some of that stubborn baby weight. I need to spend more time with my family and concentrate on them. So I'm using my new blog to document it all.
One of my resolutions is to use all those fabulous scrapbook kits that I've been hoarding. A great way to accomplish that is participating in the Willow Traders Use a Kit challenge going on right now. So far I've done 6 layouts!! Here are 3 of them.
This page uses the Scrapbook Kit Club's December Kit of the Month which featured the yummy Making Memories Mistletoe Line - which I LOVE! The kit included 2 sheets of white felt which when I got the kit I had no idea what I was going to use them for. I cut a strip off the top of one sheet and started to weave thread in and out of the top edge with a needle and pulled it tight. It automatically started to create that flower shape so I went with it and love the outcome!
This page is using the Zany Zinnia's All Hallows Eve kit. This is an old picture from 2001 that I'm finally scrapping. I distressed the edges and did some machine sewing on here. I love that look.
This page is using odds and ends of halloween kits that I have had stashed away. Again another older picture from 2001.
I hope to post the rest of my layouts tomorrow along with some of the fun hats I have been making lately!
XOXO
