The World Is But A Canvas To The Imagination

Hello to all!  I hope everyone is keeping warm and sipping on some hot coffee or cocoa.

Just wanted to take the time and share a layout that I did last month, but just hadn't taken the time to publish it.  I had a scrapbooking disaster this evening and ran out of tape runner!!  I know.......scrapbookers nightmare.  That put a hault on everything!  Which is not good.....I decided this year I would make my mom, mum and two grandma's their Christmas gifts...........so being in this jam is not good, to say the least; it brings my production numbers way down lol.

I've been wanting to join a kit club for the longest time and so I finally did in November. My first scrapping kit came from a site I came across through another site blog (you know how that goes) but I was very disappointed with what I got for the amount of money I paid for the kit; for that reason I won't share the site blog/kit club I am referring to. They have several add-on options with each kit but they too in my opinion are over priced. Lesson learned! Needless to say, I did however paid for the kit, so I might as well put it to use. The kit came with the monthly sketch if you so desire to join in "Their" monthly challenge.


This is my take on the sketch that was provided in the kit:







Here's the sketch:







Here's the kit:

The Main Kit includes:
Patterned Paper by: Bo Bunny, Basic Grey, and Quick Quotes Julie Je t'aime
Along with:
Kaisercraft Alpha Chipboard #3
Bo Bunny Garden Girl: Noteworthy die cuts
ZVA CR-03CA-116
Paper Moon Supply - Magic Tag
Quick Quotes - How Wonderful Vellum Journaling
Basic Grey - Indie Bloom Accordian Stickers
Ranger Liquid Pearls - Cantaloupe
Hand dyed Silk Bias Cut Ribbon
Peace sign brads

Thus far, I have made 2 layouts. The kit is super generous with the amount of paper you get (double-sided).  As for my second layout, I will post early next week.  I am waiting for photos to arrive via USPS so that I can adhere them to my layout.  My second layout will also be my take for the Challenge Me Happy Challenge #12 .

See you then,

Cherish - Challenge Me Happy Challenge #12

I've been wanting to join a kit club for the longest time and so I finally did in November. My first scrapping kit came from a site I came across through another site blog (you know how that goes) but I was very disappointed with what I got for the amount of money I paid for the kit; for that reason I won't share the site blog/kit club I am referring to. They have several add-on options with each kit but they too in my opinion are over priced.  Lesson learned!  Needless to say, I did however paid for the kit, so I might as well put it to use.  The kit came with the monthly sketch if you so desire to join in "Their" monthly challenge. Here is the sketch and the kit:

Thus far, I have made 2 layouts.  The kit is super generous with the amount of paper you get (double-sided).  I did do my take on the sketch (my first layout I did using the kit) but I decided to use it as a DT submission so I can not publish it at this time. So I decided to create another "take" and this is what I came up with below.  This is also my take for the Challenge Me Happy Challenge #12.  Challenge #12 is a Colour Challenge.  Where you are to use the colours below in your creation. How much of each colour you use is your choice, but they want to see these colours in your submission! 
So here is my take:




I used this layout for the Imaginarium Design Team Call:
