090118 CKC September Kit Reveal

Tina has graciously taken on the month of September with a classically autumnal kit from Noel Mignon. But first, let's me introduce her Guest Designer Janet Madison. "Janet has this fun YouTube channel: RTS Scrapbooking (Record The Story) She has lots of storage ideas, does scrapbooking layouts, makes kits, tutorials and a few fun series too." She is also really fun to listen to! I know Janet from the ScrapHappy group & am delighted to have her here this month.

Hi, Janet!

020618 CKC February Mini Kit

This month I jumped on the CKC mini bandwagon.

Frankly the inspiration kits scared me a bit!

They are so much like how I used to scrap,

and I worried that a full month kit might languish on the shelf.

Aren't they gorgeous, though?

Noel Mignon Weekend in Paris Classic Kit

Noel Mignon Weekend in Paris Daily Diary Kit

One piece that I own is this cut apart sheet from a custom Wild Hare Kit. 

This just looks like fun! So I used a Melissa Frances pair of resin wings to make a flying giraffe...

American Crafts/Maggie Holmes Carousel "Carnival"

 I had a BIG birthday last October that needed a page, hence my "Happy Birthday to ME!" mini kit.

I got so inspired that I fussy-cut the card elements that I wanted before I had photoed the kit - oops! 

One of my elements layered a wild-eyed carousel horse card underneath an elegant vintage framed Parisian lady transparency, perfectly representing mixed feelings about my sixth decade birthday. The sentiment came from an old forged card I had included just for that purpose.

My gold glitter came out grungy, but 60 is a little grungy!

I gave my flying giraffe a little add-on golden crown, a stickpin from Prima.

I tricked out this cute carousel with some bling & a little twine. 

I added the border at the last minute & it just brings the whole page to life.

It is a hoarded favorite Felicity Jane Caroline kit paper - I even saved the middle!

Lots of fun (for an old lady!) on this page.

The mini kit option really does inspire. 

Go for it!
