I didn't want to make a kit with
- 10 sheets patterned paper
- 8 sheets cardstock
- 2 alphabet sets
- 2 stamp sets
- 4 journaling spots
- 3 types of "choose your own" style embellishments (flowers, border strips, ribbon, anything you like)
- 1 roll washi tape
- 1 "old" embellishment
- 1 messy item (paint, embossing, mists, etc)
- 1 other item of your choice
I had a bright idea, make the kit only using scraps, that would cut down the size of it to something more manageable for me to use up before I got fed up of it.
It being the 60th anniversary of the Queen I went for a Red White and Blue theme but found several embellees and left over letters in blue with mustard so threw them in too.
Then I cut everything in half to make a 2nd kit to swap with my scrappy friend.
Here's a photo of the kit . My old embellishment was a squashed bottle top. I had 2, the first one plain black and the other in yellow with a pink bikini and the words Bikini Babe which I thought was hideous. I was nice and gave my friend the plain black one in the kit for her!
What a fabulous idea to share a kit with your friend :0) Love the colours you have chosen - the mustard is a gorgeous addition with the red, white and blue.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love sharing and am so glad you made it work for yoU!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea Jane - those touches of mustard will stop your pages from being too patriotic
