Have fun!!!!! For my layout titled "no longer a family of three" I wanted to add some brief journaling about what it feels like to see pictures of the 3 of us together, knowing that it wont happen again...I find scrapbooking to be very theuraputic, so I tend to also scrap a lot of very personal and tough subjects.
I used 3 alpha stamp sets:
Letterboxes
Splash me a little!
lots of dots

I love the look of mixing up my alpha sets, because it's a more affordable and versatile alternative to using letter stickers on every layout.


Layout titled "road trip"
I mixed the same 3 alpha stamp sets again, but this time I stamped the word 'trip' onto white paper, trimmed each letter out, and adhered onto the patterned paper.

I picked up the September kit at Scrapbook Kit Club on Monday, and on Wednesday I decided to work on a layout using the kit..well by the time the evening rolled around, one layout turned into 7 layouts and a card, and I was done the kit.
Here is a layout using it...
p.s. Is that not the yummiest Prima flower you have ever seen? I love the beadwork on it.

We are starting something new here at SBKC! Begining in September, we will be offering a class every month on the 15th. On the 15th of the previous month, we will post a picture and description of the upcoming class kit for you to view. If you like what you see, you will have until the 1st to place your order for the class kit. Your goodies will arrive in the mail in plenty of time for you to ooh and ahh over them before the "class" starts (on the 15th of that month). We will have a special forum on the message board for class participants to get step by step instructions, as well as a place to chat and post pictures of the completed projects! These projects will vary each month. If you can not make it to "class"-no problem! You will recieve full color instructions in your kit!





So, now that we have all of our instructions......here is our September class kit. To order your kit-send me an email between now and September 1st with your name and "September Class" in the subject line. You will be sent an invoice once the minimum number of people needed has been met.
