Kiwi Lane with Boys Rule Kit

I can't stop creating layouts with my new Kiwi Lane templates. I just can't say enough about them. The beauty of these templates is that you can design a whole 2page spread and really visualize how everything will go together. I'm just in love...

So I created a couple more layouts using the Boys Rule kit from July 2012. It was such a fun summer kit to use - love the bright colors.

Created using Kiwi Lane Spook Alley and Paradise templates, title cut with Silhouette Cameo

And another layout - more summer fun...

Created using Kiwi Lane Spook Alley, Abbie Road, and Rings templates

As I said, I'm loving these templates - it really makes it easy to incorporate all the patterned papers I love into my layouts. So fun...

What have you been creating? I'd love for you to share in this week's pin-up party...

Boys Rule Sketch Layout

So I'm just now posting this layout based on this second great sketch at the Boys Rule blog for June 2012. I again used the June 2012 kit from Boys Rule. Love these colors...

I used a dark blue mist on the background with a little piece of multi-circle chipboard from my boys' latest Pokemon purchase as a mask. I then used the blue Distress Stickles from the kit to accent the circles. I misted the wood frame and added glitter too.

Love those rosettes as accents - even if I'm the worst at making them and end up cursing a lot.

Once I was done with this layout - and since I had already done another sketch layout with this kit - I had just a few things left in the kit...

So I challenged myself to use up the rest of the kit - and created this layout, based on a collage layout by Nichol Magouirk.

Again, love the happy colors and those rosettes!

Thanks Nichol for the inspiration - I love her layouts so much. And thank you Boys Rule scrapbooking kits for the awesome kit. I've used up almost everything in this month's collection. Can't wait to get started with July's kit...

Boys Rule June 2012 Sketch Layout

I completed another sketch challenge layout with the Boys Rule Scrapbook kit - this time for June 2012. This kit is full of blues, yellows, and kraft - one of my favorite color combos. Love the sketch and love the kit...

The layout is happy and fun - my 2 boys on the day they got their glasses. It feels like forever ago now - August 2009. Time truly goes by too fast.

The letters are cut with the self-adhesive cork paper included in the kit. I used the Chocolate 4x8 alpha die from QuickKutz.

The kit also included the fun rosette. This was the first time I've made one - and I admit, I had a few frustrating moments trying to get it to stick. I finally got it to work and I love how it looks.

I've said it before - but these kits are very well put together and fun to create with. I'm in love with this layout and I'm excited to add it our family scrapbooks. Thanks for looking!

Another Boys Rule Kit Layout

I'm loving the May 2012 kit from Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits. They actually do 2 sketch challenges each month - and since I did one of the sketches, I wanted to do the other as well.

Love how this layout turned out. This layout uses all products from the kit except for the title letters, which are Thickers from my stash.

I'm getting a ton of scrapbooking done this month - what a great feeling...

Boys Rule Kit Club - May 2012 Sketch Layout

I'm in love with a new kit club - Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits. This is my first month to get a kit, and I love it. Their kits focus entirely on boys - and, being a mom of twin boys, I have a lot of boy-stuff to scrapbook.

May's kit is focused around the This & That paper line from Echo Park. I've been wanting this paper set for awhile now. I was super happy to get it in this kit. The kit includes lots of other fun embellishments to go with the paper line too.

They offer a sketch challenge on their blog, so I created this layout to go with the sketch. I love these colors - they were so much play with.

These are photos of Jack, showing how much he has grown over the years. I love to see the way his face has changed over the years - and I wish I could make it slow down just a little. Oh well.The supplies are all from the kit except I added in some letter and number stickers from my stash.

The June kit should be on its way soon. I can't wait!
