Simply Scrappin' Kit: Hoppy Memories

There are 7 Simply Scrappin' Kits in our current catalogue.  The 'Hoppy Memories' one was just perfect for some layouts about my son Jack for an album about 'Being Two!'

I grabbed out a stack of photos from the past year, my Simply Scrappin' Kit and got to work.  Here's the album cover page.

The kits are great.  They contain 6 sheets of 12" x 12" double sided patterned paper (3 each of 2 different pages, giving you 4 patterns to choose from.) 2 sheets each of 4 coordinating textured cardstock colours.  And 2 sheets each (15cm x 30cm) of self adhesive die cuts.

I especially love the border strip ones. I find the die cuts quite forgiving to use too, particularly on the textured cardstock.  They're nice and sturdy.  If I have a bit of an 'oops' moment when placing them, I can usually peel them off carefully and have another go.  (I'm a tad prone to oops moments to this is very handy!)

You can find the 7 different kits on pages 136 - 138 of the 2009/10 Idea Book & Catalogue.

For my 'Being Two' album cover, I also used some of our chipboard letters - On Board Loads Of Letters (pg 146.)  I coloured them red with a Stampin' Write Real Red Marker and then coated them with Crystal Effects for some shine.  Note: Don't forget to allow drying time before adding them to your layout.  I left mine overnight to be sure.

Here's another page from the album.

I've added some Real Red 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon to this one, along with my kit contents.  The journaling block and quote block die cuts from the Hoppy Memories Kit were handy for recording the story behind the photos.

Check back here again soon at Stampamemory for some more layouts from this album, and other ideas for using Simply Scrappin' Kits in your scrapbooking.

Cheers, Sue
