Here is what I did with the kit :)

 

 

Happy New (Kit) Year

Wow, can you believe a year has passed already!  The year 2008 have said goodbye and we have just welcomed 2009.  It’s going to be a great year ahead!

And what better way to start off the New Year is by giving you a sneak peak on what’s ahead with the January Monthly Kit "Vintage Home" from AWDML.  This kit is just gorgeous and I love the bright colors of the patterned papers.  And that cute little frill for the embellishment is something that I’ve been looking for for quite sometime now.  The bling worked great in my other layout as well!

 

I'm so excited to share this with you so do stay tuned in the next few days as my fellow DT's and I share the full reveal of our layouts. 

 

For now, here are the sneaks to my layouts and I'm off to continue with our New Year celebration. ~~  Liza

 

 

 

One more sneak peak at January's kit!

Who does'nt love an owl?  I had so much fun creating with this kit; combining papers from Pink Paisleys and October Afternoon!  Throw in an assortment of chipboard shapes and embellishments to give your paper craft an added dimension!  Be sure to check out the store on Jan. 1 to grab your kit before they are all gone!  Here a few sneaks of my projects!-Angie

Sneaky Peekies!

I hope you all had a great Christmas and let me just tell you, when you get your January kit in the mail...you are going to think it is Christmas all over again!  This kit is awesome!  I absolutely LOVE the colors!  And it had some great embellishments too!  Here are a few peeks at a couple layouts I have made so far.  I have a ton of stuff left after making a 12x12 lo and a 2 page layout!  Can't wait to play more!   Have a terrific Tuesday! *Lynn*

      

Sneak Peeks of Jan Kit 09

I cant believe that in  a few days will be 2009 and you are going to love the Jan kit. It rocks and so much goodies you get in the kit.

Here are some sneak peeks of some things I did with the kit :)

 

Happy New Year

Merry Christmas!

I can't believe it's Christmas Day already!  I am sneaking in away from our celebration to share this short post with you.

This is a day to be cheery and enjoy with your family and friends.  A time to celebrate and share.  I'm sure the kids are all so happy with their presents.  Even if you are already an adult, you still feel the excitement of receiving gifts from your loved ones.

This Christmas, let us also remember that the best gift we can ever have is our family.  They are the most joyous present that we can always hope for.

Let me share this wonderful layout I created for my cousin's family.  This is another layout from the beautiful December Kit - Christmas Magic from AWDML.  See what I did with the sheer snowflakes?  I embossed it with red glittery embossing powder and used as a base for my flower.  You can actually do a lot of things to alter those sheers.  I still have a few left of these which I will use in my other upcoming projects.

Other materials: Chipboard - Autumn Leaves, Heidi Swapp;  Alpha sticker - Making Memories; Embossing Powder; Rub-ons & Flower - American Crafts

Have fun this Christmas!

Gadgets and Gizmos!!!!

If you like bright and fun, this kit is for you!!!! The playful Cosmo Cricket Cogsmo papers are perfect for projects featuring not only your boys but also your girls!! And they are just right paired with the funky retro papers from Paper Trunk (which by the way are made from recycled paper, right up my alley!) The Paper Prunk papers add a feminine touch to the kit, making it extremely versatile.

What I especially loved about these papers was that I could cut designs out of them to use as embellishments on my projects. I love this because it really stretches the kit. The Cogsmo papers and journaling sheet are also double sided, giving you lots of options for mixing and matching.

And speaking of embellishments, get a load of all that's included!

Fontwerks Chipboard Shapes Framed
Moxxie Under the Bigtop buttons
American Crafts Greenhouse Plastic flowers
KI Memories Pop Culture Softies Tiny 2
Stewart Superior Memory Mist Copper
Imaginisce Fab Brads Candy Apple
Lollipop Ribbon

These add the perfect touch to the kit. The copper mist is awesome!! Use it to add shine and shimmer to the chipboard frames, or spray it across cardstock for a quick background effect. The flowers, softies and brads are great for more girly pages. There's something for everyone here, I even used the kit for a page about my kitten!

The versatility continues with the Cosmo rub-ons and journaling cards, the phrases are great not only for pages about your kids, but also about your significant other. Which is great for me since I don't have any kids!!

So get over to the store and snap this kit up now!!! And don't forget to check out all the additional items Lisa selected to work with this kit.

Today is the day!

The newest kits hit the AWDML Online Store TODAY!  Whooo-hooo!  This month I got to play with the "Tried and True" Kit!   The papers from Basic Grey and GCD Studios are so versatile and have that slightly-worn look that I love!  The Blackboard from Cosmo Cricket was a blast to play with!  (Hint...If you purchase the kit, you will get the newsletter that has an idea section dedicated to altering and decorating the blackboard pieces! )

I have finished several projects already using the kit!  Here is what I have come up with so far:

This is a star garland, I created with chipboard stars, my new big bite hole punch, and Basic Grey Buttons and Paper. 

I also created my first 6x12 Layout!  I LOVE this size and plan on scrapping a whole lot more this size!

Last but not least, I decorated a composition notebook for my inspiration book.
