I am one of the Guest Designers this month for MY CREATIVE SCRAPBOOK - a kit club run by the very sweet Pam Rangel and Delaina Burns. Delaina is also one of the designers, and I have been a fan of her work for years. In fact, I am pretty certain that I scraplifted one or two of Delaina's layouts (making sure to give her credit, of course) when I was first learning different styles and trying to figure out what mine was.
The MCS KIT CLUB has several different options and add-ons that you can purchase. I was provided with this month's main kit, which was full of Crate Paper goodies that I am absolutely enamored with! I had so much fun creating these two cards and two layouts, and I still have sufficient leftovers to get at least another layout and couple of cards done - a very generous kit indeed!
Here is a close-up of my Trending Now layout - can I just say it again? I l-o-v-e Crate Paper:
And here is the second layout I created, featuring my sweet Lula-Bug. I {heart} the Chevron background paper so much, I am going to have to get some more. I NEED it - like maybe 10 sheets of it!!!!

Another close-up. As you can see, I became a little obsessed with all the butterflies included in the kit - don't judge. A quick little handmade pennant and a doily fussy cut from one of my papers, and I had this cute cluster (and the perfect place for my journaling):
I even got brave and made a couple of cards. They are nowhere on the scale of CATHY HARPER or ALISSA WELLS (my card heroes...heroines???...the ladies who rock the cards, how's that?) - but you really can't go wrong with a kit full of Crate Paper goodies, now can you?
This is the first card that I made (yep, more butterflies were used):
)
...and my second creation - a simple everyday card that I quite like. (I think I need about 5 or 6 extra sheets of that bird paper - it makes me happy just looking at it) And, look! I used a bird instead of a butterfly this time!

That's it for me. But, if you want to enjoy some awesome Thursday eye candy (completely calorie free), head over to the MY CREATIVE SCRAPBOOK DESIGNER'S GALLERY.
