Welcome Back Me...

It's been a while since I have been able to post here and a lot has happened. I have finished 2 minis and started on a third!  The third mini is using the great papers and embellishments that came with the November kit from Magpie Kits. I really would like to get an album ready for the new year that would be ready for my newest interest ... Black and White pictures. The colors are muted and are really perfect for B&W photos.

The Theme of the album (I love a good theme!) is "Cherish these Moments" I got it from a tag that was one many in the kit. It was perfect and reflected how I feel about friends and family. We need to cherish every moment as we don't know how many more we will have.

 This is the beginning of the album, pages in a mini are never in the order that I create them but this is what I have so far. I am happy with them and can't wait to get some free time to work on it more.

I am so EXCITED! November Kit is here!!

I just woke up from a nap, before going to bed (I work overnights!) and checked the mail and there on the porch was a package from Magpie Club!  My November full kit is here! I opened it and looked though it and WOW is all I can say. This kit is LOADED!  I will post some pictures later, before I break into it and start working. I think this kit will end up as a mini album It has just the right amount of good stuff to do a really nice one!

Magpie Club Kit

I ordered a kit from the Magpie Club (link is over to the right under my favorite things) and it came in no time at all, I spoke with Tara via Email several times about the kit and she is just the nicest person!  
Her club offers 2 types of kits, the full kit and a budget friendly kit that she calls the Credit Crunch Kit. I wanted to order the full kit but (Yeah for her, Boo for me) it was sold out. So I got the CCK and it had great paper and goodies in it.

Once I got the kit I was so excited to get scrapping and then The Creeping Crud..... grrrr... 

But that is over now and this is the first layout from the kit!

The only things that I added to the page that didn't come with the kit are the 2 little black bats. I cut them with my Cricut using the Wild Card Cartridge. These can be found on page 68 in the booklet.


I was going to add a spider web also from the same page but thought that would be overkill and left it off.


Thanks Tara for making these great kits and I can't wait until the November kit becomes available!
