A Scrappy Weekend

Well, yesterday afternoon, we decided to pass a rainy afternoon (after an already soggy morning) with a visit to Costco!  And I am soooo glad we did as they had this amazing scrapbooking kit for only £35 and already I've done 3 layouts and can't stop raving to hubby about how fab the kit is and thanking him for agreeing to me buying it (bearing in mind that it was £35 of craft stuff I don't NEED and the box was about a metre long!!)  So, it contained:  2  12x12 albums, 24 papers, ribbon, chipboard shapes, the most amazing brads I've ever seen, stickers, frames, sticky ribbon, tags, photo corners, alphabet stamps, pattern stamps, LOADS of beautiful stuff!

Ahem, so I decided that it was Lou's turn to have a photo scrapped and chose the one from this holiday (CHANGE layout) and then came across this photo from last summer that I just though was perfect for my wonderful new papers from my fabulous new kit!  From the kit, I used paper, chipboard shape with letter stickers, scralloped velvety ribbon, LOVE sticky ribbon, tag, shaped chipboard that was around the box (and I echoed this shape on 2 other paper strips, gem brads, metal flower brad, dragonfly brad, shiny opaque brads, photo corner, alphabet stamps...and added my fab Prima Rebellious flowers (that I won from Craft Garden a while back), with some from my stash.  And I am so pleased with the layout and all the embellies and we get to KEEP a scrapbook layout...!

Anyway, I'd like to enter this layout in the One Stop Craft - Monochromatic.

The second layout is called Change and details how my little girl has changed in the last year.  I used the lovely Creative Scrappers sketch 111.  Again lots from the kit used, plus some diecut flowers from Melly, and flowers from stash.

I'd like to enter THIS layout in the Creative Scrappers - Sketch 111 and PaperPlay - Your number's up! challenges.  

And this is a photo of the packaged fantastic kit (and my messy craft floor)!

And finally a question - does anyone know if you can buy 12 x 12 photo frames, or would I (or perhaps hubby) need to make some? - THANKS

    Two gorgeous pages Susie. Love both of them.
    Louise is such a pretty little girl and it's wonderful to have these pages to display the beautiful photos. They do grow up so very quickly!
    Love Elaine xx
