october scrappy chics kit...

gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous kit!!!

i LOVE the line - one i haven't had the pleasure of playing with before - it's called authentique. you can find ordering info here... as always, melinda has pulled together an amazing array of product. thanks, melinda - i know this month was crazy for you!

thrifty fashionista my first layout is one of sam, wearing a dress i bought when she was a year old. i used a piece of ki memories die-cut paper (both the die-cut paper and mists are from my stash) as a mask for the background, and sprayed with a couple of mists.









meeting fritz a simple layout, using a sketch from sketchy thursdays - perfect for these pictures of sam meeting her second cousin...




she (mini book) i was thrilled to find a mini in the kit this month - my only problem was deciding what to do with it... i ended up printing out some of my favorite pictures of my girl in black and white, and making a mini called simply, "she" with the inside pages having verb titles. the chipboard pages were painted with a charcoal acrylic, then a variety of painting techniques were used on top of that.

















hope you get a few ideas out of my stuff - i had fun with it! thanks for reading...
