"Life is Good Together" Layout

This is probably my favorite of Sarah's layouts this month.  I'm not sure if it's because there is so much colour going on in this kit that a background of kraft with a lot of white space provides such a wonderful backdrop for a photo with a fresh feel?
One of the items you will find in both this kit ("A Colourful Life") and "On My Mind", is a package of Hemptique Hemp Cord.  The red is included in this side and is similar to regular twine, but with a touch more body.  Nothing life changing, but just a bit different :)
With a full package of die cuts from American Crafts Soho Garden and the Heidi Swapp Epoxy Buzz Words, you can create many quick and easy titles without ever having to use the alphabet set included in the kit.
Additional items not included in the kit ... accent stickers (American Crafts Soho Garden), ink sprays (Heidi Swapp, Studio Calico), border punch (EK Success), sewing machine & thread.
Be sure to visit Sarah's blog in the coming weeks.  She's challenged herself to make 30 Christmas cards and has already made a great start!

November Kits

Hey Folks!  November is already almost half done and I just realized that I hadn't posted the kits for the month on the blog!  We've been busy here at the store with our Christmas Card Class and lots of new product arriving on a regular basis so the ol' blog has been just a tad neglected. 
But finally, here are the November kits ...
"A Colourful Life" is a much brighter kit that I've done in awhile.  November ends up being so cold and dreary that I figured we needed some cheerful colours to perk us up.  The papers and embellishments are a combination of Pebbles "Seen & Noted", American Crafts "Soho Garden" and Glitz "Cashmere".  So fun.
"On My Mind" is definitely the softer side of the two this month with colours that will mix well with some of the past kits.  Dear Lizzy "Fifth & Frolic" and Heidi Swapp "Vintage Chic" make up the bulk of this kit.
