Omigosh, this kit is absolutely wonderful. When I first saw it I thought hmm..it's got purples in there...I could use it for some Relay for Life photos I've accumulated over the last four years. So I went ahead and got it. Most people shy away from charity kits because they aren't sure if their "donation" is really going there but they have created a way to donate directly to the charity then forward a copy of your "email reciept" and then you get a coupon code to get the kit for free. But if you prefer to just purchase the kit directly through the store the donation will get made and you can get the kit immediately. So far I've done five layouts using it and not a single one is a Relay for Life one!For the first layout I used a series of photos taken of my aunt back in the 50's and 60's. I interconnected a circle frame to create the "cluster" then added the buttons to complete the whole circular feel.
Rachael of Creations by Rachael contributed all the elements/papers to the kit that I've used in these first three layouts. The second one is a photo of my Great Aunt Ruth, her daughter, grand daughter and great grand daughter.
The third in this series has a completely different feel which shows how versatile the kit actually is.
For the fourth layout I decided to play with the contribution from "Late Night Scraps". I had fun with some photos of my newest niece. This was the first grandchild that my brother has been able to see of his three grandchildren. The other two live here on the westcoast while he is on the eastcoast. Because it was a low resolution photo and a bit blurry I decided to play with the effects that are stock with PSE7. I used a dry brush effect and extracted the rest of the hospital room that was in the background. I also played with the "cookie cutter" tool for the first time and created butterflies and tufts of grass.
For the final layout last night stuck with the brown/pink and new niece theme I created this last layout. Since I was trying to stick with using only items contributed to the kit by Late Night Scraps I used the brown paper with the Live, Laugh, Love border as a mat paper and frame and used her hospital card as an element.
Well, I completed a total of six layouts in less than 24 hours. That is probably a record for me! I've got a couple more in mind for this layout that I'll be working on this week.
