{the GIRL mini kit}
I made a little mini kit last night you can see above it has some cute stuff in it. Embellies, ribbon, fibers, 3 sheets printed paper, 1 sheet of white cardstock, a whole set of Gellies chipboard letters, and a chipboard house mini album, a few saftey pins, and some journaling spots I stamped for you. This can be such a sweet little gift for a new mom, or for those little pics that were taken at the hospital and your mementos (id bracelet etc.).
I made this mini kit so that even an beginner can quickly and simply put it together for a decent price. Of course you can add more of your own embellies to suit your taste.
This kit is $12.00 which includes shipping. The foam embellies may vary a bit from kit to kit. I hope you like my first kit and there will be more mini kits coming soon!
I was able to make the mini album and even a scrapbook pg. with the leftover embellies and paper....and I still had some baby girl page tabs and a bunch of the alpha chipboard left over.
Thanks for looking!

My friend Marit has posted a couple of times about a blog named A to Z photo...just like the title you take pics of things starting with a certain letter...so this week it is 'B'. I think this really sounds like fun. I would like to and want to participate for the full alphabet and then when I am all done I would like to make it into a collage for our wall. So not only will I be taking pic from A to Z but they will also have the underlying theme of things that are important to our family. I still have to capture my 'A' photo but here is my pic for 'B'...
Play along.....this will give your creativity and your pic taking a real boost! Thanks Andre!

This week challenge over at Scrapping out LOUD! is to be inspired by this Chinese proverb... Tell me and I'll forget; Show me and I may remember; Involve me and I'll understand. Go check out what the other members of the DT came up with for this challenge...gorgeous pgs.! Here is my pg...which is made from a recycled piece of cardboard from a pack of paper. I used two sheets of rub-on letters for the background. The robots are wall cling things that I picked up at the dollar store. This pg. really cost close to nothing to make...boy I like that!
here are some close ups...
Do not forget to go check out the word of the week and the sketch of the week..
Usually, I get my pg. ready for the challenge and then later in the week I get a sketch ready for the challenge...I usually don't even use my own sketch. But this week I did my pg. and thought that I would use my pg. for the sketch.
So here is my sketch of the week!
Also, I just want to thank everybody who plays along with the SOL challenges..we are so pleased that our blog has taken off like it has and that is because of all of you!

SOL reveal
Color shy? Are there any colors that you stay away from....that you avoid like the plague when you are scrapbooking? That is this weeks challenge over at Scrapping out LOUD!. I chose to use yellow for this challenge....now, I have recently done two other layouts using yellow....but I had to really force myself to use it...it is just one of those colors that I would rather use on embellies, or in smaller quantities than as a background. I did a lot of machine stitching on this layout and even stitched on the chipboard. Also, I used a piece of fabric sheet and stitched around it and then dipped it in a Stampin' UP! reinker and let it soak in...if you click on the pg. you can see a better close up.Also, check out the wotw and the sotw for extra challenges and entries toward the prize this month.
Here are a few close ups....
and just a quick pic of my Forsythia that is blossoming....ahhh gotta love Spring!
Have a great day!
