Layouts by Heather

Here are a couple of super sweet layouts by Heather using products from the store.. be sure click each product to see the awesome savings!!

If it's not in the scrapbook it didn't happen....

Heather started with 2 pieces of black bazzil cardstock from the Cardstock Of the Month Kit - then she outlined a scallop edge with a white pen. She selected tons of favorite photos and cut them different sized circles for her photo collage. She placed in some super cute felt flower brads by K&Company(78% off retail!!!), and cut and placed letters using her cricut and the street sign cartridge. As a finishing touch she outlined everything in a white stitch or dotted line!!

Stinkin' Cute...

For this one she started with a couple of pink sheets from the Cardstock of the Month Kit(I'm tellin' you - at the price these girls are offering it's only 42 cents for each piece of paper(plus shipping), and you just wait for it to arrive!), cut out papers from K&Company Kazoo Pad(this pad includes foiled and glittered papers, die cuts and stickers!) and finished off with cut pieces on her cricut from the Alphalicious and George cartridges!

Here is some work by Dawn using the EK Success Pep Rally Alphabet Set (it's perfect for all your school and sports events!) as well as the Cardstock of the Month Kit (everyone needs extra cardstock and this is the perfect way to get it!) put together by the girls.
