More August Kit Layouts

Here are two of the layouts that I did using the August Sussies Kit.

August Sketch Inspiration

Hello there! Here is the August sketch that was included with the kit. I really enjoyed creating layouts with all the summer elements. This was one big water-slide, I couldn't believe that both of my kids were up for the challenge!

Ahh-mazing August !

Have you received your August kit yet? Oh my goodness, how much fun! I LOVED working with this kit! The LYB side of the kit was so fun and colorful and the Pink Paislee with the letters and numbers... I don't know about you but I'm a sucker for them! The only thing that bummed me out a bit was the letter paper only had 1 U! I'm waiting on a second one so I had to photoshop the first one in on my layout :D



Stay tuned for more fun layouts!!

Can you remember?

As much as I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting new Sussie kits each month, there are a lot of times I have pictures I want to scrap that just don't "fit" with the new kit. This is when I rely on my HUGE stash of older kits. I have been a Sussie for at least five years now and my stash of kits is pretty large. I love using the kits as soon as I get them, but it's almost impossible to use them all up. After I've made several layouts with them, I put all of the pieces back into the bag and save them for later. 

Here are some layouts I've made in the past few weeks with some older kits. See if you recognize them. Some are from just a few months ago, and some are from a few years ago!

More Things to do with Paper

So I've become a little bit addicted to Pinterest lately! I've been finding so many cool things on there that I want to remember to do at some point (like when I find the time??). A lot of the things I've seen involves more ways to use scrapbook paper, other than scrapbooking. Here are a few examples.

Frame it and use it as wall decor:

Make it a background for a new way to hang your jewelry:
Make a bow from one 12x12 sheet
Tutorial for bow found here: Bow Tutorial

Cover some letters to make a holiday themed decoration
So if you want to find more ways in which you can use some of your pretty patterned papers and you aren't afraid of becoming obsessed with "pinning," then maybe you'd like to give Pinterest a try as a way for some great inspiration!

Cards With the July Kit

I like to make up a set of cards after I have done my layouts for the month. I used patterned paper and some fun embellishments from the July kit. You can never have enough cards ready to be mailed!
