The June kit is ready for sale at Paper Niche. 

I have wanted to do a more masculine kit for a long time, and this month I finally did

It can still be used for other layouts (like my first one) but even that one has a little masculine touch 

  Here is my work with this kit, Sorry the pictures are not the best, I was kind of rushing and the projects are at the store so I can't get new pictures before I return from my little vacation

Love love love the Crafters Workshop mask in the kit

Bo Bunny Etcetera and Authentique

 Had so much fun cropping at the Paper Niche this weekend, it was the last crop before the store moves later this month. The new location is on the corner of SR84 (I595) and Pine Island
Between the socializing and the food I got 2 pages done, one using the new Bo Bunny papers Etcetera and the other one the new awesome Authentique line.
The next scrappy event for me will be 3 days in Orlando for SDV, are really looking forward to the trip and to spend a long weekend with lots of great friends... If I just could decide what to bring along to work on.....

Just a little inspiration

I have done a couple of inspiration LO's using some of the new (and old) products we have in the store at The Paper Niche.

On the first page I have used new Making Memories papers and small alpha stickers, MayArt and Maya Road ribbon, Zva bling and flowers, Thickers and Bazzill 

On the second page I used Tim Holtz papers, stamps, ruler ribbon and metals, AccuCut school die and bracket, 7Gypsy metal, MM mini alphas an old jeans tag and other miscellaneous odds and ends

The August Kit From The Paper Niche

This month I tried to stay travel oriented when putting together the kit, but as you see both with my pages and the rest of the DT's pages  the kit leaves you plenty of  room to play around without any travel pictures. Other than what is in the kit I also used different red, black and blue inks Black and blue Bazzill, crackle paint, colorwash and Tattered  Angels travel stamps.

The kit is available in the store and will be available on-line later today

kit includes:

7 Papers from Teresa Collins

4 Papers from Paper Loft

1 Paper from K&Co

1 Tag sheet from Teresa Collins

Today I had my first day of for a while and got together with my friend Lyn and our melting pots again. Today's medium was Utee..It did not quite end up as we planned, I think we both where a little bummed when we called it a day, but we learned and know what to do different the next time we play.
