You Make Me Happy

Posted on by

It’s Heidi’s birthday week and here is her annual birthday kit that Lori designed for her!

Life is more than just the major milestones and your scrapbook should tell those small stories too. You Make Me Happy is the perfect kit for those special people who enrich your life. Playful patterned papers and timeless elements add a touch of whimsy and brightness to your page. Floral motifs, wood, ephemera, butterflies, and metal birds steal the show in the kit – but still leave the emphasis on your photos. Even the bright, cheery alpha and banners manage to compliment without overwhelming. After all, it’s all about who – or what – makes your memories stand out. You Make Me Happy pairs nicely with many other Scraps N Pieces kits to help stretch your stash. You can combine it with your favorite kit to bring in colors that match your photos perfectly. Or, if this kit makes you happy, just start scrapping!

50% off this week at GINGERSCRAPS and MyMemories

My two layouts today document some more of MOMcon 2016.

Spoonful of Sugar

Posted on by

Some stories are truly timeless and seem to transcend generations. One such story is Mary Poppins. With her life lessons and cheerful disposition, it’s no wonder she’s so beloved – especially the part about how “a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.” Spoonful of Sugar is inspired by everyone’s favorite magical nanny and adds a timeless joy to your scrapbook pages. This kit’s lovely color palette draws upon the red and white of her outfit and injects some crimson, black, and pale blue to complement completely. A mixture of bold and cute patterns papers will have you happy enough to dance across the rooftops, while glittery papers add that extra dose of whimsy to your scrapping. Featured elements include Mary Poppins herself, both with and without her magical umbrella, Bert the chimney sweep, penguins in tuxedos, a carousel horse, a spoonful of sugar, and several pieces of word art with Mary’s most popular quotes. There are also plenty of bobs and bits – including buttons, flowers, ribbons, ephemera and a typewriter key alpha – to complement perfectly. Whether you’re a Mary Poppins fan or simply looking for a timeless kit to scrap with, you can’t go wrong with a Spoonful of Sugar.

Make sure you grab it during this first week of release for half price. Preview is linked to this kit at Gingerscraps.

I don’t have any Mary Poppins photos, but the skyline element called to me. I thought it would be great for a travel layout. I chose some photos from my trip to Milwaukee back in 2016.
