Just sharing....

a few projects!  I realized as I was working on this post about Urban Scrapbook's Monthly Layout Kit, that I never shared last month's layout!  So here's my January and February layouts.  First is February's which I think we still have some left for sale at the store.  The February kit features Fancy Pants' collection, "Love Notes".

I really love this color combination, red, black, pink and kraft.  The large hearts were cut out from templates I printed off the internet.  I printed my photo on one of the patterned papers that has very faint printing.  That's my husband in the photo, and in the envelope there's another little photo of him.  It's showing what he is carrying over his shoulder...my purse.  He' always carrying my purse for me, when I'm taking photos, is that love or what, lol!  It's hard to tell in the photo, but I die-cut the filigree heart into the side of the envelope before it was taped closed, and then die-cut the heart again in red and adhered it into the die-cut envelope.
It was a fun kit to work with, and the design team all came up with some fantastic layouts.  You can check them all out here.
Here's my January monthly layout:

This kit featured Echo Park's collection, "Winter Wishes".  There were some great snowflake die-cuts included in this kit, which I embossed some of them with Shabby White Embossing Enamel by Stampendous.  You can check out the rest of the Design Team's layouts here.

Because Valentine's Day is fast approaching, I have been working on some cards for Urban Scrapbook's display.  Can I just say, that I think our store has the largest inventory of scrapbooking dies in the city!  There's Sizzix (we just received the first of Tim Holtz's new releases), Memory Box (a whole wall full!), Impression Obsession, Poppy Stamps, Spellbinders, CottageCuts, Cheery Lynn, and Dee's Distinctively!  So here's a few cards featuring just a few of our dies:
