Blanket 4 Baby

I won a Cosmo Cricket, "Material Girl" scrapping kit last year...and it's kind of been lying in the back of my stash. While the kit is very nice, it's not my usual style. So I figured I'd just save it and use it for showcasing sewing projects when I get around to them. LOL

So I guess here is the first:

The kit doesn't have any yellow or blue papers, so I had to look elsewhere. but the rest of the embellishments are all from the Material Girl kit. The chipboards are soooooooo cute!! TFL :)

Sew-Sew

 I absolutely LOVE the Material Girl line from Cosmo Girl. :) This layout is a lift I did of a layout I saw online...not sure where I found it exactly. I had had the picture lying around for months now...but sometime it's hard to find layout I like with only one photo. I borrowed some Fiskar crafting items from a friend...and fell in love with the corner punch -- this particular one punches and embosses at the same time!!! The rest of the layout came together fairly quickly. :) I also decided to try some faux stitching along the edges of the papers -- and I love it! It just gives the page a little something extra!! :) TFL

Working With a Kit

I won the new Cosmo Cricket Material Girl line last month, and I've been itching to use it! I've never worked with a kit before -- bought one once and then used it for cards, not scrapbooking. So this was totally different for me. Honestly, I think I'd rather buy papers and embellishments separately -- kits are definitely not my thing! There's too much stuff that I don't really like in them...

But here's what I came up with.

I used a few papers from my stash...and the rub-ons weren't a part of the kit either. But I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. It was the first time I used cardboard embellishments. Let's just say this layout was definitely interesting as far as creating goes. TFL :)
