Collage It

Amber here from The Country Scrapper to share a layout I made using the October Sampler Kit - Mrs. Weasley.  Have you ever made a collage layout???  First off, lets see the definition of a collage:

An artistic composition of materials and objects pasted over a surface, often with unifying lines and color.

Collage LO's can be messy and fun.  Random bits of life stuck to paper!  Here's my LO:

I made my collage LO to review "barn life 2011".  I added different pieces of patterned paper, tag, buttons, and the cute little black/white bag all from the kit.  See the feathers??? Ummm, they may be my feather hair extensions that I kept for 3 days this Summer.  What a perfect place to display them!  This was my first collage and is far from perfect, but the imperfections is what makes it fun!

The Jingle Dress

Hi!  Sarah here with another layout from the October kit.  This page holds a special place in my heart.  When I was 2, my grandparents got me a dress that we dubbed "The Jingle Dress."  It's a holiday dress that had jingle bells in it.  The bells have been gone a long time, but the dress has been passed down to my sister and all of my cousins as well.  Now, my daughter is wearing it! 

Did anyone else swoon the way I did when they saw the Amy Tangerine fabric paper?  Oh my....  Absolutely everything on this page (except the stamps) are in the October kit.  Have you gotten yours yet?  You still can and they're gorgeous!  The colors are spectacular and perfect for fall and Halloween: orange, purple and turqoise! Check out the kit and order here.  And don't forget to enter into the October sketch challenge for your chance to win a full kit from The Sampler!

I also just received my November kit to start playing with....O....M....G....

Happy Scrapping!

Boo!!!

Hi all!  Amber here from The Country Scrapper to share a spooktacular card I created using The Sampler Kit for October - Mrs. Weasley. 

This little card was so fun and easy to make.  I thought I'd switch things up by using stickers instead of stamps for my sentiment.  These American Craft Thickers are amazing and foam!  Which means they stick to your paper great and are easily manipulated so you can align your letters perfectly! 

And check out the scary skull card!  It's part of the Pink Paislee Phantom Banner Kit also included in this month's Sampler.  Visit Scrapbooking Supplies R Us to get your Sampler today.  And don't forget the Sampler Sketch Contest - you could win a complete kit!

Know It!

Hi all!  Sarah here with my first layout created with the October kit, "Mrs. Weasley."  I've been wanting to make a page about the phonetic alphabet for my husband's Air Force album because he uses it all the time with his job.  I found these awesome letter stickers by Creative Imaginations a while ago and finally got to use them.  The colors in the kit fit perfectly with them.

I'm a sucker for a tag, so I used not one, but both of the tags that came in the kit.  I love the stamped images on them!  Instead of writing on them, I just left them blank and let them be.  And those Smash stickies?  Yes please! 

Have you gotten your hands on your kit yet?  Go here to check out the details and get yours today!

Fabulous Fall

This month's Sampler Kit "Mrs. Weasley Kit" is so perfect for fall photos that I decided to use it for a Fall challenge I did.  This layout is about our favorite thing about the Fall, which is visiting a pumpkin patch.

 
When I first saw the American Craft Fabric Paper that came in the kit, I loved the black and white pattern but wasn't sure how I would use it.  Then I decided to make rosette flowers with them and I think they came perfect! (left and right flowers)

 
I am looking forward to creating more projects so stay tuned!

you are amazing!

Hi Everyone!

I have been  busy busy busy with this month's kit! Its loaded with prints and solids and some AWESOME embellishments! I like to keep my layouts on the simpler side these days, but the little touches in the october kit were just what I needed to pull things together!

For those of you who haven't heard my news, my husband and I are expecting a little girl this coming February. The sonogram photos always amaze me. So much development in so little time. The mix of black & cream colors used in one of the patterned papers and then the kraft tag and the fall inspired border were just too perfect with the two very similar shades of blue cardstock.  quick and simple and just perfect.

and how simple does it get? You should all know you're amazing!

A long time ago

The October kit is released, but I can't stop playing with my July kit!! I think it's my all time favorite ... but then, I say that about every kit!

For this layout I used an old photo from way back in 1966. It shows my grandmother, with my sister and me sitting on her lap. As I have only a few photos of my grandmother this one is very precious to me.

and a few close-ups:

If you like the kits from The Sampler as much as I do have a look here for the details!

Thanks for stopping by our blog today and hope to see you back soon!

Hugs, Monique

October Kit Reveal: The Mrs. Weasley Kit

Around these parts, we are too in love with the colors of fall for our own good and we have the October kit to prove it! We are most excited to present the "Mrs. Weasley" Kit!

 

While its not a themed kit, this it certainly leans towards the loveliness of autumn and Halloween. BUT, this kit is no one trick pony! Oh no. Just like the "real" Mrs. Weasley, this kit has loads of tricks up its sleeves. Practical and crafty through and through.

Check out the kit page for the full details on this kit and check back here often as our design team is in the process of creating some fabulous projects with this kit!
