february freehand scraps gallery....

Just wanted to quickly post my pages that I made with the February Freehand Scraps kit. Loved the colors and embellishments this month!

I thought that little sticker with the bird on it was so cute and perfect for these pictures I had from the park this summer. I just made a little banner and clouds from the patterned paper and did some stitching on them. The letters in "park" were the pink fabric American Crafts thickers. I inked them with some green ink which was an easy way to make them match my page a little better. Love that those fabric thickers are so easy to alter if you need to. I did try to spray them with some turquoise glitter mist, but it would not soak into the fabric.....not too sure why not!?

This is the first 6x12 page I have ever made. I got some of the American Crafts 6x12 page protectors at their warehouse sale last month and was excited to try them out. I am so behind the times on this one. This size didn't really interest me until I realized it would be a good way to document these monthly milestone pages that I have been doing for Cannon. They usually contain so much text that I have a hard time coming up with a page design. On this one, I am just going to make a separate 6x12 page with all the test with maybe an embellishment or two and then I will just put it in the protector on the back of this one. A very simple page just using some of the cute embellishments from the kit.

I loved all of the patterned papers in the kit and wanted to use a little bit of several of them so i came up with this design. Just did a little more stitching and colored the title thickers with some brown ink this time.

I love to make a page every year with our christmas card and a short summary of our Christmas. I put these in a special album. These papers and the snowflake embellishment were just the perfect colors! I added a hambly rub-on and a button and called it good.

I especially loved the gallery this month. The other girls did such a great job! Check it out here! Also, Heidi is having a big sale on previous kits. They are 40% off, such a great deal! The list of kits still available is here.
