Skating in Circles

A Fish Design is a new designer at Scraps N Pieces.  She has some really cute kits and one of my favorites is Skating in Circles.  It's all about skating.  Whether it's roller skating, ice skating, even a birthday party at a skating rink.  Well, we went roller skating every Friday night when I was a teen.  I loved it.  But I don't have any pictures of us skating!  But the colors in this kit are perfect for everyday pictures too.  Here is a preview of her kit, it linked to her store and it's even on sale for a few more days.  So make sure you grab it today!

Here are my layouts using this kit!  I really like the way they turned out.

This one I also used a template by Scrap Happens to Me.

And stop by Scraps N' Pieces blog to pick up a freebie I made.  Here is a preview of it.

Next True North Scraps has a new kit out called On The Right Track.  You guessed it, all about trains!  I want you to know that my sister just moved to Kansas, and they have a train track in their backyard.  Every time I heard the whistle blow, I grabbed my camera and ran for the back door.  Never did see a train!  After I got back home, my brother-in-law sent me a picture of the train going by behind his house!  I was a day late and a dollar short! lol.

Do you hear that …. the
faint sound of a train whistle in the background? The rumble of the
cars coming down the track? Chug on over to see what True North
Scraps and Keystone Scraps have teamed up to bring to you this week.
Both kits are on sale this weekend only for 30% off.  Be sure to not delay 
and pick up these beautiful kits before the sale price pulls out of the
station!

ON THE RIGHT TRACK

And here is the one from Keystone Scraps

This collaboration is a
must have to showcase pages of that magical train ride or even one of
those clunky ones in the shopping mall. The rich color palette
catches your eye and the array of elements will find you wanting to
create beautiful clusters or tons of layout pages. Either way it's a
win-win right?

Dawna has packed in 47
elements and 17 papers as well as an adorable train alpha into her
portion of the kit. Paula has over 70 elements and 28 papers and two
alphas. You will find one alpha offered to download for free at her
site this week, after that it will only be available as part of the kit purchase.
Between the 2 kits, you get way over 100 elements and 45 papers... that is quite
a kit! Oh yeah, and don't forget those three alphas to complete this
classic styled collaboration. Who wouldn't want to hop on that
train?

And if just by seeing the
kit you aren't already inspired by what you can create … take a
look at what I have done with
it.

Also the girls have made
some freebies for you to enjoy … be sure to visit the following
blogs to pick up their generous offers.

I leave you with one last thing … a
poem called:

“Pleasant Travels Through Life” … author unknown

Life is but a journey on a
train,
With a pair of travelers at each windowpane.
I may sit
beside you the whole journey through,
Or I may be seated
elsewhere, never knowing you.
But if fate should mark me to sit at
your side,
Let's be pleasant travelers, it's so short a ride.

And the last one is by A Fish Design.  This one is called Skating in Circles.  A bright and cheerful kit featuring a few skating items with a bunch of circles.  Also includes a few music and birthday papers and elements.  Here is a preview of the kit.  It's linked to the store and it's also on sale through the 16th for 50% off!  So don't delay, hurry over and pick it up!

Here is what I made using this kit. I just love the way it turned out!

If you stuck with me the whole time, thanks so much.  I'm planning on have a few more freebies for you this weekend, so keep checking back.
