the mercantile kits went live on saturday night, there are still a few left here, and i loved them. it's such a great fit for me with all of the vintage additions and sweet little bits & pieces. all of it fit so perfectly with this pic i took of buttons on the studio table. random little bits of perfection.
i loved the old store price signs in the kit.
and the exclusive butterfly die cuts, added under some hand-cut vellum and stitched seam binding. i love stitched seam binding. and i LOVE those maya road crystal star pins. i need a pack of them :)
my littles. i love my littles. love!
last year we took these pictures at the sf zoo in the children's zoo, seriously the BEST part of the park that has animals {of course bubba would say the best part is the train, lol}. there were these huge signs that the kids could stand in front of for photo ops & i love how their clothing totally matches what they picked. lol
when i was constructing the lo i really wanted to take note of bubba's sideways glance and thought positioning the two as shown just added such a great whimsical note. more bits & bobs & the exclusive jbs blue chalkboard alpha + some sweet paper rosettes.
the little chipboard dresses are so sweet, this one i covered in the vintage seed packet labels.
more little bits and those beautiful pink paislee crystal brads.
in other news, i have spent the better half of a week destashing and sorting my old kR kits. like, 19 months worth. i've got THREE flat rate boxes filled to capacity with papers + alphas + embellies + so much more, and alot of it is new.
if you want one leave a comment and i'll pick three winners on wednesday and i want to add that of course my international friends can play too but i am asking that anyone who wins pays the shipping fees.
happy monday everyone!

ohhhhhh this sounds FUN !!! i'll always remember stalking you at the scrapbook etc. event in nashville a few years ago. i kept inventing excuses to go to the back of the room so that i could peek at what YOU were creating with the kits...you were SO NOT following the directions and doing totally amazing things.

What wonderful new LOs! And, I'd love to win your giveaway. :)

What I would give to be able to watch you create - to be a little fly on the wall - I tell you !!! I would sell part of my body .......preferably not my handsthough... because I would need them to create with all the wonderful info I absorb hehe

Posted by: SandyB | August 02, 2010 at 05:35 PM
I've often said the same thing about how I enjoy the process of creating just as much if not more than the end result. Although the best bit about having an end result is it means you can start creating again!
And I love that you're creating for JBS.... it really is the perfect fit :-)

I love little collections of random stuff; I may have to investigate those kits again.
The zoo layout is really cute. And I will have to remember how you overlapped the mini letter stickers. I always seem to butt them right up against each other, and never think about overlapping them. :D
