Scraptivity Blog Hop

Well today is the day so......here's a November layout that may be much more suited to being an October Layout.  Please don't be too grossed out.  They are lovely, lovely pets and this is just one of the ways they show that they think you are part of their family.

So now leave a comment and join in the fun!

A couple of Layouts

Here's something

I did with the November Kit.

I had to capture all the fall colours in the garden, especially the japanese maple which had turned into living fire.  Good thing I took the pictures when I did, because two days later, all the leaves were on the ground.  Fitting in 14 photos was a challenge, but I decided to cascade them across the two pages and add very little embellishment.  The embossing plates were perfect for creating simple, organic pieces that added to the pictures. I love scrapping multiple photos and there are so many ways to combine them.

New Kit at Scraptivity

Yay!  It's the first day of a new month and the first day of a new kit reveal and shortly next month's sneak peak.  I love the Core'dinations cardstock in this month's kit.  It's so versatile.  Besides all the normal things cardstock usually is capable of, the  coloured core of the Core'dinations allows sanding, distressing, and embossing to create something special.  Lots of fun!
