More Sweetness with Casey...

Good Morning Everyone! Today I'm sharing a couple of fun layouts that I put together using the Sweetness Collection by Pink Paislee. When I first saw this collection, I absolutely fell in love with it. Although it was released during the Valentine's Day time period, you could definitely use it throughout the year on other projects - especially if you love to use pinks and greens together, which is one of my favorites! Check out this first layout where I was able to incorporate a few of the extra elements available in the Sweetness Collection....

I absolutely love the background on the paper - it just gives the layout so much depth...One fun technique that I was able to incorporate into this layout was using some quilting floss for some additional stitching in blue for some additional interest...here is a closer look at that...

For this next layout, I did a page about my daughter's love for playing with building blocks. I incorporated more of the Sweetness goodies and added in a few extra goodies - aren't those buttons delish!

Grab Bags!

Don't you just love getting a package of goodies...maybe one with a bit of a surprise?  Knowing that you are going to love every bit of it?  That is what it is like getting one of the gorgeous grab bags of American Crafts paper at Catch the Moments Kits.  You know that all the papers will be beautiful, and that you got them at such a great price.

I know I couldn't wait to sit down and play.  For this first layout I decided to accent my photo with lots of beautiful flowers.

 

For this layout, I decided to really let the photos and the papers shine!

What surprises are you hoping for today?

Holidays

Hi Everyone,  today it is me, Nancy.  I have some fun new projects to share using some of the papers and buttons from the Festive Kit and maybe a little something extra.  Right now, in the Etsy store, the Festive kit is on sale for only $14.50.  And, if you become a fan of Catch the Moments Kits on Facebook or join us over in the new forums, you can get a code to save even more!

The papers in the Festive Kit are such beautiful colors and just because this kit came from a holiday line, it doesn't mean it has to be used that way.  The greens, reds and yellows are perfect for outside shots.  For this first layout I used a few of the sheets (front and back sides...don't you love double sided paper) and a bit of seam binding from my stash with an old chipboard ornament.  The colors were great for these outside shots.  I also used some Thickers from an older kit.

 I had this photo of my oldest daughter from the same day and the colors blended so perfectly with her sweater, so you know I just had to use them.  I love the coordinating buttons, they tied in so well with the floral cluster.

And finally, I love this kit so much and I couldn't wait to share with you all.....

A bit of Love; the Love Kit and add on.  The American Crafts papers in this line are such great colors.  I love the mix of pinks, blues, and kraft; and the flowers, both felt, paper and metal are adorable. Did I mention how much I love these fun new Thickers?  I guess we know now why this kit is called Love.  lol  

I really debated making a teal tree, but since I had a scrap of green from the Jolly Kit on my desk, I chose to use that instead.

Have you made anything with a Catch the Moments kit?  I would love to see it!  Leave a link in the comments  where I can find it.

Hugs.

Nancy

Hi everyone, Nancy here with a few projects using the fabulous Jolly Kit and a few extras from the store.

These papers worked great with my holiday photos from 2009.  The papers are so beautiful I really didn't need a lot of embellishment to put the pages together.

For the first layout I dyed some white lace from the store with a pink mist to make it coordinate with the papers.  I used one of the little American Crafts tags for hidden journaling.

Echo Park Paper, Custom dyed seam binding and lace, Prima Flowers, American Crafts rose brad, tag and Thickers

The rose brads worked wonderfully in my banner made from the American Crafts tags.  I cut some rose ribbon into individual flowers to gather in the lower corner.  And I love mixing my Thickers to make my title really pop.

I simply adore the Merry Teal Thickers, the font and the color are just beautiful.
