It's give away time....

over at The Little Black Dress Kit Club blog! Or stop by their Facebook Page and leave a comment, there's  still some fabulous goodies to be won!   Their January's kit is called "Sweet Bravery" and it has some wonderful papers and embellishments.  Unfortunately, my kit was lost in the Christmas rush, and I just received it yesterday, so I will try and work on that right away!  I'm lovin' the Pink Paislee papers that are included!                            



In the meantime, here's a couple of "Color Room" layouts that I've done.
In this one, I've used paper and embellishments from Ruby Rock-It, an Australian company.
I hope they have some new lines at CHA, I really like their paper and alphabets.  The green frame is theirs too and is lazer-cut felt.  When we were in Sydney, Australia a couple of years ago, my cousin took us to the Sydney Zoo which is an amazing zoo.  This is the view we had when we were watching a bird show!  I also did the hand stitching using my new WRMK stitching tool.  I think you will be seeing lots of hand-stitching on my layouts in the future!
I used the sketch that was included for palette #39 on this layout, too.  They have great sketches for each palette, so if you need some inspiration, these are nice to use.
This layout is for the most recent palette, #40.

I used My Mind's Eye, Lost and Found papers & brads, Pink Paislee chipboard elements(which I embossed), Graphic 45 envelope & stamp paper, metal butterfly & flower from Making Memories, Basic Grey sticker letters and the flowers were made with old paper that I can't remember the name!  I love this old photo of my husband's grandparents, in the middle of a farmer's field.  They came to Canada as newlyweds and worked on farms to earn money.


That's all for today!  I was working on a few things for our Valentines' display at the store so I had better finish those up before I start on my kit projects.  With all this snow and cold weather we are having here, it's a good time to be scrapbooking!
