If you've been following along here this year, you'll know that I've enjoyed using page kits for a variety of layouts this year.
One of the kits I had on hand (from last year's Scrapbook Expo) is from Quick Quotes and can be used to create four 12x12 pages.
So far, I've only used one of the pages to showcase photos from a weekend getaway in 2013. I had to punch out the frames in the large teal paper to create space for my photos and memorabilia, then piece the center embellishment together.
I had one page leftover from another Quick Quotes kit, and I was thrilled to find several older photos of Robbie's grandparents that went well with the colors and design.
The final two layouts are from a Lickety Split kit and have 6x6 grid bases.
I have to admit that it's FUN to flip through my photos and find ones that match the colors and themes in a kit and put a layout together quickly and easily. And they really look good, too, don't you think!
I love that little quilt looking thing in the center of your first layout. I've been doing assorted quilt patterns lately on my pages. It's a great way to use scraps. There are some papers I love so much, that I have a hard time throwing the scraps away!
ReplyDeleteI do indeed think they look really good! You must have done some very neat work with the punch in that first one ... and I'm admiring that central embellishment which looks very fiddly. The grandparent photos are perfect for those papers. Your pretty paper choices really set off the photos of the young ones - they all look so sweet!
ReplyDeleteKits are such a good starting point and your layouts look fab! :)
