Gobblins, Pirates and Teens, Oh My! - Link fixed!

Ok, there is a lot going on today, so I'll get right to it. First off, is a kit by Charm City Scraps called Tricks and Treats. This was done for Stuff to Scrap's Build A Kit for September. It's a cute kit that I really like. Whether using it for a layout, Halloween invitations, or a night waiting for the Great Pumpkin, this kit is for you. Here is a preview of the kit, it's linked to her store.

And here is my layout using this kit.


And Adriana's Cafe also has a Build a Kit out called My Little Monster. I love the little monster on this kit.

And here is my layout of my little monster!


I also have another new kit by Adriana's Cafe called Whatever. It made me think of teens right away, but it can be used on just about any layout. I love the colors and the flair she made for this.


Here are my layouts using this kit.

Now for the Blog Train!

The train, or should I say ship is here. This month we did Ahoy Matey! and I really like the way it turned out. Of course the pirate fans in my area wanted purple and gold for this kit, but....

Anyway, here is my preview, hope you like it. Preview is now linked. Sorry everyone. I usually check in soon, but didn't get here until tonight.

And here is the rest of the train. Make sure you leave some love along the way, pirates can be blood thirsty without it! LOL

Two new Contest

Well, I just signed up for two new scrapping contest. One is at The Studio called Layout Artist Contest and the other is at Brownie Scraps. This one is called Supreme Scrap Challenge, so we will see how that goes. I'm pretty much a newbie at both sites.

Both of these start on September 1st, so I will be extremely busy. I'm going to try to post the layouts here and keep you guys informed of how I do.

Wish me luck!
