This is the fabulous kit from Scrappit for May. The papers were from the Basic Grey Kioshi range and the colours were just gorgeous from blues, purples and even browns on the reverse side. To compliment the kit we were also given the new BG Ribbon Dollies and Epoxy Stickers.
So, what did I come up with? Always a single layout first and this was using a very recent photo taken of my DH and myself on a tour in Hong Kong just last week. Very rarely do we get a shot together and the colours of the papers blended extremely well with the photo.
I always like to create something extra on every page and I love creating these little flowers. All you need is a circle punch, or even do this freehand, and cut in towards the centre to create petals.
This little set is intended for my DD. She is now a teenager and is going through the usual trials and tribulations relating to this time of her life. I wanted her to be able to record details of this year with a little tag album to record her 'Besties' and also a note album to detail her ups and downs for the year. To complete, a note pad never goes astray.
Finally, as a dedication to the numerous handbags I saw in Hong Kong and Singapore, I created my own little LV version to sit on my craft desk to hold my pens and scissors etc. I even added the orange stitching and bag charm to add to the theme.
