February Layout of the Month

The layout of the month for February is:

"Family Vintage" by Rebecca aka Bexta76

Using the "Vintage Elegance" kit, Rebecca, created this amazing and endearing page her own vintage heritage. This photo is of her great grandfather's family in Ireland. This page has many touches of distressed beauty and grace, especially with the mix of burlap and lace. Her crafted hand made that remarkable flower out of the small stack of dictionary papers. The Kasiercraft Sweet Nothings papers and rub on seem to be right at home with this big family. This entire page "Welcomes You Home". Congrats Rebecca!!!

January Escape Sketch Winner

The winner for this month's sketch challenge is: Rebecca aka Bexta76

with her page called

"Destination Koh Samui"

This page is the ultimate experience of a relaxing vacation.  Becca is hanging in a hammock on a beach in Thailand, how much better can that be?  She did an outstanding job using the "Escape" kit with Suepup's monthly sketch.  The netting in the bg is mixed with some of the G45 Tropical Travelogue fish, and is swimming wonderful.  Neatly tucked in the Prima flower(s) is the amazing sand dollar which she altered to make it really stand out.  This is a very bright and inviting page.  Congrats Becca!!!!

February Reveal Day!

The 15th... one of my favorite days every month...  Sure, I get excited to reveal our newest kit each month, after all, I spend a lot of time searching for beautiful and fun things to put in these kits, and I love showing you what I came up with each month, but more than that, there's an excitement that builds throughout the month for this day.  Not only do I get to reveal the kit, I also get to reveal Suepup's latest fabulous sketch, and I get to see all the gorgeous work our Design Team did with the kit!

Enough rambling from me, here she is, the newest Scraps of Darkness kit...                Victoriana!

I've been wanting to do a kit with those fabulous Prima Printery papers for awhile, and when I saw Kaisercraft's Madame Boutique line, I knew it was a perfect fit!  You can't do a kit without embellishments, tho, and we've put some beautiful, fun, and unique goodies together with these papers. 

See the kit and all the available add ons on our website:  Scraps of Darkness

Suepup creates some amazing sketches, and this month's sketch is no exception!  I hope you'll use it for inspiration whether you've got one of our kits or not:

Of course, I can't just show you the sketch, I've got to give you a little eye candy to go with it!  Here are the beautiful layouts our Design Team did using this sketch for inspiration...

January Layout of the Month

The layout of the month for January is:

"Key West Iron"

by Teresa0817

This page really brings you to the tropical sea.   It is swimming with so much life and beauty.  Teresa used the "Escape" kit weaving the fish net perfectly with these amazing multiple photos of wrought iron, beach and palm trees, plus these cute Pink Paislee Nantucket fish.  She just took a trip to Key West FL, making the rest of us super envious, but we are definitely enjoying the pages of memories she is sharing with us using this kit.  Thank you Teresa, and congrats!
