few pics and jbs september kit

  
This was another kit that I loved and I'm loving black butterflies for some reason right now. I've been trying differnt approaches to taking pics of my layouts. Just trying to figure out how to get true to color and clear images. I've taken pics before on my glass desk or my craft table and I used a mirror I had this time to see how the pics would turn out------------------------------------------I think I like it but I need more practice on how to get the right pictures.

{spooking things around here..........}

 
I love Halloween and I guess I'll be posting about it until the 31st.  I love that Aniyah loves seeing it when she comes in. It's pretty cool to me. I still have a few more things around the house I want to snap photos of but it's been raining here so I haven't had a chance to get any pics.

In keeping with my Halloween love right now, I did this layout using Crate Paper's Random collection {supplies: Crate Paper, "Random" graphic, accent cuts Teresa Collins, "Haunted Hallows": poison} I cut the butterflies with the Slice and did some stamping and misting.

answering the call...

I created a few projects using some basic grey products that I had on hand. The design team call called for 4 altered projects.

A little Halloween love thrown in the mix. I loved their eerie papers!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. We are off to spend some time with family. Maybe I'll get a day in to play with some new papers I have.

some studio calico

Finally did some studio calico work. For a while I thought that I just couldn't find my groove with the kits but I loved it this time. I think I scrap better when I don't think about trying to get the perfect color combo or the right order.  With the SC kits I find myself wanting to be more artistic than clean.

jbs june projects & Happy Father's Day

I loved everything about this month's kit. The butterflies were perfect and the new line was fun to work with.

This layout is just a sneak. I snapped it quickly before the lighting went out but I'll post it updated later.

 

I used both the new ruler stamp and the torn paper stamp on this layout.

 







I couldn't resist the border Keisha created on one of her layouts. I just had to re-create it for this one.  Oh, and Keisha is such an enabler, I had to run to JoAnn's for the button sale as well

We had a quiet Father's Day. I cooked a big Sunday Dinner and just spent time around the house. I'm working on a few things using my June SC kit and hopefully I'll have a few pics to post this week/weekend. Have a great week.

 

JBS May Kit

I just loved May's kit this year. I really loved the colors in last month's kit and I can't wait to dive into this month's kits. I'm still so far behind with my Calico kits so I only have three layouts this time and a card but I'm hoping to back track and get those done along with some project kits I've neglected and several other things. I'm staying home this weekend so I'll be spending all weekend crafting and catching up on things that I need to be doing.

I love the new stamps that are out now so I used it and my martha stewart punch.

I love Talipia and we eat it all the time. One of my favorite meals with a squeeze of lemon juice on top.
