'Tis the Season

Scraps by Andrea has a brand new Christmas kit out called 'Tis the Season.  It's a great Christmas or winter kit with a unique color palette.  She got the color palette from her daughter's Christmas pajamas.  This kit was so fun to work with!

Pretty, huh?  Here's the layout that I made using the template for the template challenge at STS.  Template is by JMC Designs.

I really wanted to use the orange since my husband is wearing orange but I coudn't get it to look just right in this layout.  I made a freebie 5x7 brag book page for you.

Froggies In Her Pocket

I have a really cute kit to show you today.  It's called Froggies In Her Pocket by Scraps by Andrea.  Andrea got the idea for this kit when she found a little plastic frog in the pocket of one of her daughter's dresses.  So she made the colors girly-pink, peach, green and taupe and added cute frogs in it.  I love this kit!  I'm sure you'll love it too.

It's on sale for $2.50 right now.  That's a fantastic price!  Scraps by Andrea also made an add on for the kit that is the mini kit for the Use It or Lose It Challenge at Stuff to Scrap.  Here's the mini kit.

Here are the layouts I made.  I made the first one for the quote challenge at STS.  I needed a little bit of inspiration so I went searching through the gallery at Me So Scrappy and found a gorgeous layout by scrappyt and used that to scraplift.  I love scraplifting!  The second layout I made for the Use It or Lose It Challenge.

I made a small freebie for you as well.  You can download here.

July BAKs from Scraps by Andrea

The July BAKs at Stuff to Scrap this month are all about gardening and farming.  Scraps by Andrea made several packs this month.  Take a look at her gardening and farm pieces call Down on the Farm.  Each image is linked to the store.

(this cardstock pack also has a bonus gingham paper pack in the downloads!)

Here's a look at the layouts I made with all of these pieces.  I didn't have any farm animal pictures (well come to think about it, I did, I just forgot about them!) so I didn't get to use any of the really cute animals!

I have more July BAKs to show you another day.  There are some great build a kits this month!

Scraps by Andrea made an expanded kit to her It's About Time kit and called it It's About Time Again.  A forum member requested it so she made it!  I love the color palette in this kit and it's so versatile.  Remember Scraps by  Andrea's store is on sale all month long for 50% off !

Sea Life

Scraps by Andrea has been keeping me busy!  She's got another new kit out today called Sea Life.  It's a beachy kit with lots of sea critters.  The colors are fantastic and if you don't have beachy photos-this kit will still work so well for so many types of photos.  Here's a look at the kit.

Don't forget that Scraps by Andrea's store is 50% off all month long!  Here are my layouts.  The first one I made for a speed scrap at Stuff to Scrap and the second one uses a template by Gettin Scrappy with Britt that is being released next Monday.
