mini album and layouts August kit

Hi all,

Last day of the month it is again..... time flies when you're scrappin, right?

Have you checked out (and ordered) the August kit yet? It's such a fun kit to work with. And there is so much stuff in it. Lots of paper, all double sided. As you have seen in my last post I made a layout with it, now I've made a mini album and two more layouts and I'm still not run out of paper! Is that a great kit or what?!?

Let me start with my mini album.

Totally made out of tags, cut out of thin cardboard, then I glued some papers to both sides.

For the first and last page I had some acrylic sheet laying around (Hambly's) that's also easy to cut into shape.
Sprayed both with Glimmer Mist and Chalkboard. Let that dry over night.

I made a collage of the pages cause otherwise this would be a very very long post!

This is the last page on the inside, a journaling about a wonderful day that my parents, my kids and I spent in the city were my dad, my kids and I were born.

The next thing I want to show you is my layout, started with white Bazzil cardstock, Glimmer Mist and Tim Holtz' masks.

Yep, that's a photo of me!

The roses are from the Prima paper, cut out and I used some glaze on it to make it shine.

Don't you just love this butterfly? It's cut out of the Hambly paper, misted with Glimmer Mist and I used Stickles around the edges. A smaller butterfly I attached on the wing.

My second layout started with making a piece of paper wet and started crunching it.
It looked a bit like a candy wrapping so there you've had the title!!!

Here also some misting with Shimmerz Spritz (bed of roses, my fav!)

My mum made the doily. Isn't it sweet (and so is she, thanks mum!)

Well ladies, show us your work with this gorgeous kit,

Good luck on round two on the message board, it's so much fun!
I can't wait to get started on the September kit, it will be special!
Have a great and creative time, till next time!
