Kraft Girl Kit Reveal

 

I had so much fun working with this kit!  It is loaded with papers from October Afternoon, Jenni Bowlin, Cosmo Cricket, American Crafts and Jillibean Soup.  Pam has spoiled us once again by including not one, but two different Jenni Bowlin alphas to play with!

And here is what I did with the kit:

 

This is one of my favorite layouts!  I used the Jillibean Soup alpha paper to create a grid design.  I left the initials of the kids' names and used my Stampin' Up scalloped circle punch to punch out the rest to display pictures, patterned paper and journaling. 

 

 

Has anyone read Raising Your Spirited Child by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka?  That book describes Nicholas to a "T", and was the basis for this layout.  My journaling is hidden and pulls out from behind the picture.  He is "more" in every sense of the word and tests me as a parent at every turn.  This book is a positive and uplifting resource that lets me know it's okay, and these qualities he has will make him a leader and not a follower we just have to survive the ride, lol.

 

Logan absolutely fell in love with this sailor hat when we were on vacation!  I used my EK Success diamond lace punch for the scalloped borders.

 

I was feeling the need to do a more distressed, wrinkly layout and this is the result :)  Don't you love those vintage flashcards??  I used this one to document the date.

And here are my two projects:

 

 

I am in LOVE with this project!  I used the JB chipboard stars to make a display piece for the kids' school projects and artwork.  It will hang in our dining room/kitchen area and I will post a pic when the whole mom/family/organization center is complete :)

The magnets are for a chalkboard that is also going to hang by my project holder, but I discovered photographing a chalkboard is quite the challenge :) 

I hope these layouts and projects inspire you and show how very versatile this kit is!  You can check out the rest of the design team's creations here and pick up the kit here!  I will post about the September happening for Kraft Girl Kits over the next few days...right now I have three hungry kiddos I need to feed and get off to swimming lessons!
