The Sampler

Scrapbooking Supplies R Us has a wonderful monthly kit club called The Sampler. Today I wanted to share a look at the kit and a new project I made.

The June Kit is perfect for Summer Time, full of fun things involving travel and summer. Here's a picture of the kit:



The ribbon and embellishments are fabulous. Visit The Sampler to see a list of all the goodies in this month's kit.

I recently purchased the 7 Gypsies Artist Tray (that I got at Archivers). The idea is to use ATC in it, but I had another idea. I used it to make a 12x12 LO:



This is a picture of me and my Papaw. He is an amazing man and this picture was taken about a month ago when he came to visit the farm. I love spending time with him, he's the smartest person I know!

So I wanted to do a LO and use my Artist Tray as a frame. I simply measured and cut my 12x12 paper into rectangles, then did the same to my picture. It was like working a puzzle. All scrapbooking paper and embellishments are from The Sampler.

I then took some of the fabulous ribbon and chandelier drops from the kit and made flowers:



You can visit my tutorial for making flowers.

By adding some flowers to the actual tray and others to the trim, it gave the frame dimension.

And happy news. I have a card in the June issue of Cards Magazine, woot woot. Page 63...my new favorite number!
