Take Off

Posted on by

Explore the “wild blue yonder” with Take Off. This timeless kit from Scraps N Pieces pays tribute to the world of aviation, drawing upon air flight’s great history. Featured elements include biplanes, pilot insignias, tickets and ephemera, propellers, and so much more. Take Off also comes packed with bold patterned papers, stunning solids, and a grungy red alpha to complement your photos. Whether you regularly soar above the clouds or just let your dreams take flight, scrap your stories with Take Off.

We took the girls to their first air show this past March and this kit was perfect to scrap those photos. I have four layouts, but I still have more photos to scrap.

The Colors of Spring

Posted on by

I realized today that I had totally spaced and not blogged about Word Art World’s contribution to the Gingerscraps March Buffet. The Colors of Spring is a really fun, bright Easter themed kit. It is no longer available in pieces, but you can buy the entire kit here. Below are previews to the individual pieces, so you can see more of what this colossal kit contains.

I made two layouts about the girls dyeing Easter eggs with their Nana and I last year.

AbraCadabra

Posted on by

Magic is in the air tonight with AbraCadabra. Much like the magic word it is named for, the latest kit from Scraps N Pieces can help you pull a rabbit out of your hat – and scrap your most amazing stories with ease. Rich, velvety reds and blacks bring to mind the theater, while pops of pale green, cerulean, and cream add a sense of allure to this kit. Perfectly patterned papers help do a slight of hand trick, drawing your eye to the most important parts of the page. But it’s the elements of this kit that truly dazzle and amaze. Vintage ephemera harkens back to the classic days of stage magic, with enough playing cards, rabbits in hats, and crystal balls to pay homage to all your favorite tricks. Magic wands, stars, moons, and a curtained stage beckon. This kit even has admission tickets and posters for a magic show.  The semi-glossy alpha adds a touch of prestige to your title work, making your entire page look magical. Just wave your magic mouse, add some photos, and get scrapping with AbraCadabra.

Each part of this kit is only $1.00 each through March 7th as part of this month’s Bits N Pieces, so have fun mixing and matching. Previews are linked.

I made two layouts from a birthday party of Janette’s MOPS friends. He had a magic show at his party.

Boy… Trouble

Posted on by

Little boys can be trouble, but you have to love them just the same.  This kit will help you capture all of your little boys adventures from forts to wooden swords, frogs to puppy dogs, and slingshots and snails.  The masculine color palette is perfect for all kinds of layouts.  Take pictures of flying paper airplanes and climbing trees with Boys… Trouble.

I just love how this kit turned our for January’s Bits-N-Pieces. You can get any of these parts for only $1.00 each at Scraps-n-Pieces.

I decided to scrap some of the photos from the girls’ first camping trip with their American Heritage Girls’ scout troop this past fall. We had a lot of fun at Bastrop State Park and have plans to go camping again soon.
