April Team Brae-er Blog Hop - Some Kind of Wonderful

Thank you for joining us on this month's Team Brae-er Blog Hop for Some Kind of Wonderful.  We appreciate you taking the time to visit us.  If you came from Sheena Brooks' blog, then you are headed in the right direction:)

Close to My Heart's Seasonal Expressions 1 catalogue will soon expire!  But, we are going out this season in a burst of colour. This Some Kind of Wonderful collection was the absolute perfect set to scrapbook my daughter's birthday party with her friends last June.  We had a backyard party on a perfect early summer evening. 

But, before we get into the layouts that I made... here is a quick peek of the Some Kind of Wonderful paper collection - only available until April 30th - so head to my website to get shopping now if you like it:)

Of course - my scrap process begins with a Workshop your Way Kit... where I make all the pre-designed layouts - so easy.


Then I get to work using the scraps to make my own layouts.  Here is what I came up with this month.  Now, I apologize in advance for the less-than-stellar photos of the layouts this month.  I forgot to photograph the layouts before adding the photos, and didn't have permission to use the children's photos online - so I have somewhat clumsily just added mats over their images.  Next month, I will have more time to get better acquainted with my software and see if I can come up with a more visually appealing alternative.  In the interim:


This was a simple layout, made with assorted paper and complements scraps leftover from from the Workshops Your Way kit.  I wanted to play with that gorgeous Raspberry cardstock and my Cricut, and using the Artbooking cartridge - came up with this:


I loved this colour combination for our fresh summer photos! 

I hope that you have some new inspiration for your crafting this spring...now hop on over and see what Michelle Hughes has in store for you.

Until we scrap again,

Emily

    1. It is one of the overlays:) I don't have my cartridge right now, or I would tell you what page to find it on.

  2. Beautiful layouts! Like you I LOVE taking my leftovers from the kits and making extras. It's amazing just how much you can get from just one kit!
