I really do enjoy scrapbooking…. but, to be honest, my scrap stash is so full, that I get too intimidated to begin each time I feel the urge! So, it’s kinda nice when I get the box from Jenni Bowlin with just one kit including everything I need inside. When I’m finished, I just dump it all back in the box. Perhaps that’s the true source of my problem… the box dumping. :/ Meh, ah well.

So here are my layouts I made so far with October’s kit. I used some of Jenni’s new paints for Ranger. I was quite pleased with the quality of the paint, and the little dabber is pretty handy as well. The reason I truly enjoy the kits every month is the inclusion of vintage elements, such as the tiny yoyos, tickets, old checks, and antique influenced designs. I think they add a lot of character, and let’s face it- scrapbooking isn’t really scrapbooking without scraps!

Thought I would share some of the craftiness I was up to while the girls came to stay for the weekend. More to come!

I was thiiiiis close to purchasing more letter stickers at Archivers the other day. Luckily, I came to my senses, remembering the packs and packs of letter stickers I already have in my possession. And last week I put them to good use with the July JBS Mercantile kit. Here’s what I made!
