Kiki Halbert latest release- Boy/Girl u r a dreamer

Kiki Halbert has just released her two newest kits- Boy u r a dreamer (this grungy eclectic mix is made for your guy or guys. Perfect for Fall pictures.) and Girl u r a dreamer (A feminine twist on grunge, this kit mixes grunge and glitter for the perfect eclectic mix. Filled with dried roses, petal scatter, flowers galore... You will love the rich colors and textures in these kits.  I loved working with them and you will too.  Here is a peak at the kits.  They are available on sale today and tomorrow at Scrapbook Elements.

Here is what I did with the kits

I am in love with this paper

As a scrapbooking prize, I got the My Minds Eye Oh La La paper line and I am having lots of fun.  Usually when I do a layout, I try to think of some way to use it in a blog or a challenge.  This could be "use your oldest embellishment challenge"  I used doodlebug letters, a labelz and some ancient letters I got that are acrylic and had this cool pattern that I thought looked like water and would be perfect. When I say old, I mean, these are old!

Here is a close up of the letters

Kitchen remodel...

Oh boy- are we having fun or what?? I am in the middle of a kitchen remodel and my hubby is away on business. Yuck. So here are some pictures. OK- with this kitchen wouldn't you remodel? This vintage 70's kitchen looks horrible. It was so bad, I never even bothered to paint. It wouldn't help!!


Now tell me, aren't you just digging this border and the fir down?

It is taking shape...

The open ceiling option:

Intro into the digital world of scrapbooking....almost!

OK, I am not a digital scrapper.  I was asked to be on Kiki Halbert's blog team, which I am so thrilled about,  so I am going to learn.    I should have done this a long time ago, because learning doesn't come easy at my age LOL.  I am having a tough time, so I decided to start easy-print  and put it on my traditional page and do some hybrid scrapbooking. Kiki just introduced her new digital kit "Burst into Spring" which is a new collab from Kiki and siamese studios.  You can get it here.  It is so cute!!!!

Here is a butterfly that I printed and cut.  I love how real her designs are.  It just pops off the page.  I added some stickles- I had to!!



This flower combines both elements again.  I used a Martha Stewart punch- a border punch and printed some of the papers from the kit, which are yummy!!



Here is my layout. 



I have another tip in store, so stay tuned.  I photographed a page and added digital elements.  It is really cool.
