Gather....

Here are the layouts that I made using the amazing kit "Gather" from Freehand Scraps. This one is a must have if you are on the fence about subscribing or trying out kits. It is full of product and lots of items that are hard to find at stores. You have to play with the Buzz and Bloom clouds in chipboard and denim and corduroy. They are so fun! The stitched shapes from Prima are ready to use and so cute on lots of pages. The photo booth page was fun to put together and came together so quickly...the photos were taken at my cousins wedding. They had a fun photo booth at their reception and masquerade accessories to make your pictures even more interesting. I cut a strip from the Sassafrass paper and crumpled it a bit to give the page some texture.

This grateful for family page was fairly easy to put together and I loved the big thick ribbon in this kit-it had the best colors in it and I used the stick pin to accessorize the knot. I have never used one of those stick pins as I don't have a LSS here. I layered the papers and crate paper border stips to give the page some color. EASY....


This page was random but I had to scrapbook pictures from Thanksgiving a few years back because the fun tights on my daughter were perfect with the rainbow paper. I included a fun quote about rainbows that I printed on my computer and chalked to match the layout. The quote says..."Let no one who loves be unhappy, even love unreturned has its rainbow" The flowers were from a previous kit and the buttons were from my stash. I cut small pieces from the papers and just clustered all the embellishments.



This page was really busy but I loved the paper SO much so I had to make it work. I had no room for journaling left so I used some of the lined Sassafrass paper to document the highlights of our day in London on our 2 week journey of Europe and I folded it and tucked it behind the picture. We spent a few more days there at the end of our trip, but this was so classic of London and what I expected it to be.
I used pop dots under the cloud journaling spot and cut apart one of the Sassafrass
playing cards for the word one.



Last,this page was just cardstock with some cutouts from the Sassafras papers in the kit. I crunched up the paper to make lines for my title. I stamped the numbers and made a list of my son right now(in the picture that is) That picture is him reading a book he had just opened at his 1st birthday. He really did choose books over balls back then. I think he still might lean towards reading especially since his sister is crazy about it right now.
