A Kiss on the Chic Layouts

Happy Friday to everyone!

I was given the ok to post the 5 layouts I complete with the February A Kiss on the Chic kit!

These kits will be up for sale soon--and I mean soon, so get ready and go to: http://akissonthechic.typepad.com/ to purchase your kit!!!! (I'll post here too, as soon as they go up too!)

I decided to do something a little different and go for a 6 x 12 page. Very simple to complete in less than 30 minutes. I like to mix up my albums abit adding different size pages throughout.

I love the beautiful Websters Pages paper!

The papers are so versatile. They can be used for all sorts of pages. The colors work well for anything.

This one was done with the Fancy Pants paper. I love the way red and teal work together. I added a Prima Transparency, it almost looks like rub-ons, but without all the work. You can even paint them. I love the black and white around the picture.

Again, Fancy Pants paper with a touch of vintage embellishments.

I also had the project kit to work, I turned mine into a journal with poems, quotes and inspirational sayings. This project kit can be used for anything. I worked with the gorgeous Prima papers and many fun embellishments, some vintage (I love vintage!). I even dug out my sewing machine. I love the way a little stitching on a page goes a long way, it gives it that homey, put together feeling. If you have a sewing machine I challenge you to dig it out and sew on paper. It super easy (trust me!) and looks like you spend alot of time constructing the page. (which in my case is true, I do spend alot of time on each layout I do. I just like the little details and hand embellishing my work.)

Anyway, here's the cover for now and as soon as I get the word I'll post the inside pages with the details.

Here's a close up of the vintage patina metal frame, My favorite piece in the kit! I used some paper on the back side, but a photo would be very pretty in side of it. As always adding some sparkle to the flowers with stickles.

Everyone have a terrific day, I'm expecting a very important box today--lets just say a MANUFACTURE box of supplies. Yes, a manufacture asked me to guest design for them for the month of February. Although I can't tell you who yet, I have to wait a bit before I spill the beans. But, I'm super excited and honored. So stay tuned for that announcement!
