Twitterpated Kit of the Month

Here are some pictures of the Kit of the Month - Twitterpated.  This kit comes with both instructions for cards and scrapbook layouts.  I created 6 cards and 4 layouts with plenty of paper and ribbon left over.  In the pictures, the card on the left was created using only items available in the Basic Kit.  The card on the left shows the same card enhanced with embellishments similar to the "Best Option".

With the layout, I did the same thing.  I did one 2 page layout using only items from the Basic Kit, and then did a second 2 page layout with embellishments to show a "Best Option".   The green spaces represent the suggested photo sizes.

I'm Blogging!!

Well, I'm blogging. With my wonderful sister's help (or nagging) I have finally moved into this century. Please bear with me as I learn to navigate this and I hope to start getting some of my cards and other papercraft items I have created posted real soon.

As well as posting my artwork, I will also post all the great specials from Close To My Heart.
