The
printable sticker kit I used this week was huge! And since I didn't
really know what I was going to want to use when the time came I
decided to once again cut out all the stickers. Oh man, what a job
that was! I usually cut the stickers during the couple of hours my
son and I watch TV together in the evenings. This set of stickers
took me almost all week to do. The kits says there are over 350
stickers. I do love the kit and plan to purchase more of the complete
month kits from this shop in the future but that is a lot time using
a pair of scissors.
On
a side note, that activity is what I needed to get myself serious
about purchasing one of the electronic cutting machines. I have been
looking at them for a long time now. I had actually spent about the
last month or so really studying the different ones on the market and
decided which one I was going to spend a large chunk of money on. I
really want to be able to use it for all the different crafts I do so
it was a big decision. I actually made my mind up and changed it
about a dozen or so times as I learned more and more. I did place my
order and my new machine is on its way to me as I type so when it
arrives I will do an un-boxing video and blog and show you all what I
purchased.
Back
to this week's plan with me.
I
love the combination of the purple, gray and burgundy colors in this
week's kit. These are all colors I love so they combination really
spoke to me. I wasn't sure what theme I wanted to with but since the
owls were on the kit I decided they would be perfect. For some reason
owls and fall really seem to go together for me.
For
the bottom area and the sidebar this week I decided to use some of
the washi tape I have collected. I ended up doing it off camera
because I had soooo much trouble getting it to do what I wanted. It
was a real battle for me for whatever reason. And after all the work
to get it on the page I am not really sure if I like it or not. I
think I prefer the paper in those areas. I think in a future layout I
am going to try using both the scrapbook paper and the washi and see
if I like it better that way.
One
big advantage to using a complete month kit is that all the colors go
together so nicely. Also since this was such a big kit there was a
lot of choices to consider while laying it out. I especially like
that the kit had the hydrate stickers that matched the colors instead
of using my normal white ones.
So
