Good Folk

OK here is the last delicious new line from KI!
It is a very fall-ish, family-friendly line with a bit of retro thrown in there!
Here are a few of my favorite sheets of paper...

YAY!! for woodgrain!

How about these cool woodgrain letters??!?!
And clear stamps that actually make me want to get out
my probably-already-dried-up ink pads!!!

You can see the rest of this great line over on this post on the KI blog!
And here is a little something that I made with Good Folk...

I hope you are liking the looks of these new lines as much as I am!
Happy day!

This one is called "Holly Lane"
and it is full of the traditional reds & greens with a pretty light blue thrown in there.
Fabulous!
Here are a few of my favorite things from this new line...
Check out those fun "B" sides!
Christmas PUFFIES!!!!!
How cute will these be on cards??!!
Brads!
Of course!
And the alphabets are so fun!
I am loving that bigger font!
You can see the rest of the collection over on the KI blog here.
Here is a fun layout I made with the Holly Lane collection...

**NEW** KI Memories

YIPPEEEEE!!

NEW KI Memories!!


Here is a line called "Hot Date"
and I love the fun, bright colors & patterns!!
Here are some of my favorite papers...

There are fun new Puffies too!
And BRADS!!!
You know I dig the new brads!!

There is a lot more in this new line including stamps, alphas, tapes, pockets, etc.
You can see all of it here on the KI blog!
Here is a quick layout I made with this line about my own personal "hot date".
{haha cheesy joke!}
:)


There are new pockets too in both the 3x3 and 5x5 sizes!
There are pockets that go with each of the 3 (yes, there are 2 more in addition to "Hot Date") but there are also pockets in damask & zebra prints!


Fabulous!!


I love to use the 3x3 pockets as gift card holders!
Here is a card I made with the "Hot Date" line along with one of the damask pockets.

Smiling

I've got a couple more Bella Blvd projects for ya!
This time I used the new Finally Fall collection.

I made a simple card...

I love the warm colors in this line!
And I am digging the B sides of Bella's patterned papers!

Here's a layout...

Thank you Prom King's Wife for letting me use pics of your beautiful daughter!
*****
I managed to squeeze a little scrapping in before that fabulous CEU course I attended over the weekend.
Thank you Salt Water Taffy kit from Noel Mignon for making this a quick & easy layout!


Have you gotten the Salt Water Taffy kit yet?
There are only 8 left!

*****
OK I am pooped after all that learnin' I did over the week!
G'night!

Rare Saturday post

But I still have so many projects to share using the new Bella Blvd stuff!
*****
Bring on the sports stuff!!
There are not enough good sports lines in the scrapbooking world (imho).
Look at Bella Blvd stepping up to the plate!
{pun totally intended}


As sporty as this line is, so many of the papers are not necessarily sports-themed, making it very versatile!


For instance, there are fun stripes & polka dots & stars and lots of black & red & yellow which would be perfect for some great Disney layouts!

You can see the entire Making the Team line on this post over on the Bella Blvd blog.
*****
In non-scrappy-related news, would you believe that I have to spend the entire weekend in a CEU course??
It is necessary.
I need some learnin'.
But it is still boring.
Go do something fun for me!
:)
Happy Saturday!!

Yay for new scrapbooking products!!

And I love the new Christmas line from Bella Blvd!!

I made a couple of quick cards...

And then I tried to see just how many different
patterned papers I could get on one layout!
:)
I think the final count was 5 different papers!
{love love love}
*****
Here is a fun surprise from Bella Blvd:
their first Halloween line!!
"Too Cute to Spook" it is called!

Cute it definitely is!!
Here is a fun little card...

I can't wait to make some more stuff with these 2 lines!!
*****
In other scrappy news, the new kit from Noel Mignon
goes up for sale today!
It's called "Salt Water Taffy" and it is a fabulous summer kit!
I love the colors in this one so much!
