Remember When kit and freebie

This is one of my favourite kit by MDK Scraps so far. It's got beautiful colours, papers and elements but have a look for yourself.

I decided to use it for the 2012 calendar challenge on STS and here's my layout:

Do you like it? I also have a very different freebie for you this time. It's a page border and I've added a journal card in there so you have a page pretty much ready to go.

2 New kits and FREEBIES

Jensen Motley Crew Designs released 2 brand new kits. The first one is called BBQ Time. I hope you can guess what the theme is. ;) If you love going for picnics and BBQs then you'll love this kit. At the same time, it's fairly versatile to scrap any pics. The colours are bright and simply beautiful.

2 of the layouts I've made using this kit:

Here's your first freebie for today! A QP made out of my first layout. :D

The second kit by Jensen and Motley Crew designs is called Birdie Birdie! It's a beautiful blue and yellow coloured kit with loads of bird and floral elements. Great for bird watchers or scrapping sepia or old pics! Here's a look at the kit:

I love getting comments and if you'd like to critique my layouts, please do. I only ask that you be gentle. :D I've only been really scrapping since Feb and I still end up with a bit of creativity block at times so I try my best to give you the best LO's quickpages. :)

A brand new month and a brand new STS blog train! This month I actually attempted to create a mini-kit. I'm not a designer so I did my best. I hope you liked it. :D Also, since this is my first attempt, I'd definitely love it if you left me a comment and especially if you made something with my bit.
